*cough*

Other than that it was a bit of fun.

I thought certain aspects of the way the wide city shots were integrated with CG = very much a Neill Blomkamp style. Obviously not a big-budget project, but to me it is a solid production. And a little shakey camera work doesn't seem to get complaints from BSG fans, does it?

[Mr. Analog]

I guess that's one of the MANY reasons I'm not a fan of BSG

Shaky cam in small doses (Saving Private Ryan) is okay but all the time? No. It sucks.

Unless there's perfect witty dialog and acting, i.e. Firefly. But agreed, when it's a gimmick, I *hate* it. Watched 5 minutes of BSG and was too much for me. I felt like I was watching "24". Without the gravitas.
