I saw this the weekend before last. It was a surprise screening at the Frightfest weekend in London after they cancelled "Butterfly effect" at the last minute. I really quite enjoyed it. Lots of interesting characters who are familiar to most already just not in this context. I haven't read the graphic novel so I can't comment on it's translation to screenplay but it is very entertaining with good production design and script. It does feel a little disjointed at times but the wow factor is pretty high. The worst part is the character of Tome Sawyer who is not in the original story and wreaks of board room decision making at Fox to keep the US audience happy. This just doesn't work, I won't spoil it by saying why but you'll see for yourselves I guess.

Enjoy it with a healthy suspension of disbelief! [thumbsup]
