It's an uninspired ripoff of Snow Crash

That could be anything. "big dude with wings" is not a very distinctive silhouette.

>sick sumerian meme, hiro

Suits don't care. They think adding tracer and modern pop culture will make it sell more.

It's gonna be shit on top of shit, considering the original book was crap.

Custom avatars are kind of a thing, particularly with the bigger streamers. The issue is they need to be modeled/textured/rigged and like 99% of people don't have a fucking clue how to do that. And rigging for motion trackers looks like it's own brand of technical Hell.

Yeah, it looks pandering.
Yeah, the book was nothing special, and the Audible being read by Hwil Hwheaton didn't help things either.
You guys are missing the point.
Steven Spielberg is currently going hog wild with projects like he's got some sort of vengeance against Lucas, Disney, Star Wars, and everything else.
Steven Spielberg is putting EFFORT into this film. Steven Spielberg putting effort into anything is always usually interesting. Hell, Crystal Skull sucked because he STOPPED putting effort into it, and let Lucas have his way.
I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt until after I see it.

> Because if they could get Spartans, Tracer, The Iron Giant, and RX-78 into a movie

So the movie is just one giant game industry advertisement? A bit like Evolution was the longest head and shoulders ad ever?

I'd honestly rather have snowcrash than this bullshit. at-least snowcrash was weird with Hawaiian assassins stabbing people with glass knives and data scrolls that turned you into a vegetable.

evolution was hilarious. they hammered the product placement into your braincase.

>Thats... Corax
no, it's not.
