It was a pretty damn good movie and well worth paying for to see. I read that the entire movie was filmed inside a wearhouse infront of a green screen, pretty interesting.
Yea, I read somewhere that it took 60 days to film the whole movie, and about a year of editing.
Anyways, how was the IMAX experience? I have tickets for it at the Metreon, and I've never seen an IMAX showing.
