| This
film, based on a video game, promises to be a milestone in computer-generated
imagery. This purely computer generated film has fooled its early viewers
into thinking the characters were real actors. The concept of the story
is not based on one specific game but it does involve the common theme of
futuristic battle. Set on Earth in 2056, the human species is pretty much
wiped out by a meteor that has crashed onto the planet, unleashing millions
of alien creatures. The few survivors of the disaster have retreated to
barrier cities built to protect the inhabitants of Earth from the invaders.
Even with the protective measure, many of the cities are still in trouble.
The hero comes in the form of brilliant Dr. Aki Ross, who, along with her
ragtag team of soldiers, are the Earth's last hope of survival. This film
will be the culmination of years of effort by a group of talented artists-and
will undoubtedly raise the bar for computer animation and fantasy storytelling
for years to come. |
