Ok so the acting is a little Brian Blessed in Flash Gordon but visually this movie is stunning. This is the second online trailer and far superior to the first. This actually gives you chills as you slide into the overly stylized scape of ancient Persia. Be warned there are a lot of 'aaarrrggghhhs' in this trailer ("diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive") but that can be excused. Frank Miller's graphic novel is the inspiration here as he has been for various other ventures (Batman Begins, Sin City etc) and that style is definitely captured here although in no means as starkly as was visioned in Sin City. Colour here is used as a tone and not an accent. There is some serious post-production work going on here. Can't wait to see the final result.
