Seeing that trailer made me sad. The original had top notch FX. They are just going to take all the blood, sweat and tears they put into it and cheapen it with a new coat of animation.
You be jokin,' right? :D The original was ridiculous lol.
Sure by todays standards it might be with you witchcraft and wireless internets that don't travel in tubes. Back in the day though it was top notch FX. And the story was good enough for the setting. I mean there is only so much you can do with the premise and most of it will come off as over the top and cheesey. I just don't see how throwing in a CG scorpion will improve on it.
Eh, I would say the FX were top notch at the time. They were kinda a throw back to Harryhausen's old movies, and weren't really much better than what he did 20 years earlier in, say, the 7th Yoyage of Sinbad. It was sorta just trying to show that his old stop motion style could still work and make for an entertaining film, with one last movie. It was the pinnacle of a style, but not the pinnacle of everything at the time.

The story in his movies are ALWAYS super cheesy and the acting is equally silly but they all remain simply fun to watch, so who cares? :finger:
