Well done FX but I wasnt too keen on the storyline
i never read comic but the FX was better than d a tomarrow, spider man I robot!
A 3D comic!
This is like a comic book come alive. The retro/future look is definitely cool, and the chemistry between the actors brings it all together. Except for the actors and a few props this is all CGI. The city scenes are awesome and the jungle island scenes are reminiscent of the 1930’s King Kong. Shades of Commando Cody! All the time and work it took to get this project off the ground is right up there on the screen. Past and future come together and it all works! Inventive, funny, adventuresome—it might even rate a 9 on the scale. I plan to see it again. It’s full of great stuff!
