Last Flight of the Osiris/Dreamcatcher

Hey guy's I just got back in from watching Deamcatcher with the animatrix short of Flight of the Osiris. Both are a must see! FOTO is Final Fantasy quality graphics and is simply uh.... Breathtaking yeah thats the word to use. user added image

As for Dreamcatcher... Well now I HAVE to read the book. This has to be one of the best Steven King based movies I have ever seen.

Go watch them both it's well worth the money!

Yeah, I'm seeing it today here in the states, and FOTO was done by SQUARE, the same folks who did Final Fantasy, so I'm not surprised about the great look and quality of animationuser added image

Can't wait!

Final Flight of the Osiris had probably the most realistic skin shaders I have ever scene! It was amazing, especially the end when she lands. As far as the movie, as soon as he started using the gun as a phone, and you realise that they are being serious, then I couldn't take the movie seriously anymore. I think that after that point it started to go downhill oh well. FoTO was definetly worth sitting thru Dream Catcher!!

I thought the gun scene in Dreamcatcher was a bit funny in a creepy sort of way. But hey to each his own right? user added image

FOTO was really really well done though. The part where she lands are you talking about the very end or the part where she hits the ground as soon as she enters the matrix.

When she enters the matirx and she lands on the concrete and the dumpsters reverberate around her. the phone part was real funny...but then I realized they were trying to make it serious. oh well.
