More like watching it on DVD, the CG almost looks like A Sound of Thunder, I hope it’s improved when it comes out.

Also, because are the man I think could comment on this, I give you http://www.boston.com/ae/movies/articles/2011/05/22/misuse_of_3_d_digital_lens_leaves_2_d_movies_in_the_dark/ to read.

But they’ve moved the costume designs in the right direction since they first started leaking images (they had nearly no black before, just darker greens).

But there are some details that don’t sit right with me: the footies on Hal look silly, as do the muscle-like striations on his costume. But Sinestro’s looks really good.

Anyway, the costume isn’t a big deal, really. It’s whether or not he’s going to have anything to do at the end of the movie with the design of Parallax looking the way it does.

It’s what I was thinking it should look like.

I love the fact that Sinestro isn’t the bad guy, despite his place in the stories.

I think there’s still a lot of uncanny-valley in the members of the Corps, but if you know the comics, there’s a number that  might look CG no matter what.

I think they have the core ideas down, and I’m excited to see where it goes.
