Teaser Trailer

[meatball]

I'm interested.

[picolas]

the last part deserves a   for sure.

[matt35mm]

1. Jeez wow.  Did they really have to make it look like The Matrix?  I mean the greenish tint or whatever.

2. Rachel Weisz is hot.

3. Uhhh... I dunno.

[Just Withnail]

I was going to say it actually looks somewhat cool, if only for the eyecandy, but then of course they had to ruin the whole mysterious atmosphere with terrible CGI demons flying towards the camera.

[SiliasRuby]

Looks like it could be watchable

[El Duderino]

it looks like "The Matrix to the Nth Degree"

i really like Rachel Weisz, so i'll probably end up seeing this.

it even has the Morpheus-like voiceover

[pete]
