[ i mean, it definitely had it’s badassery moments. i rewatched it like a year ago i think after finally buying the dvd & i had forgotten how slow the plot moves at times. granted, it was a mini-series on scifi on a low budget, so for the money put into it, it’s great !!! ]
{ man, i want so hard to agree with you--because really, on the budget and the timetable they had, it’s a good movie!--but it’s like...the plot is soooooooo slooooooooooow, and it keeps getting derailed by deschanel’s spacey acting. she’s like. a wooden cut-out of herself for most of the film. it’s irritating, especially when it’s obvious that everyone else in the project put some real heart into what they were doing! i just keep imaging what that film could’ve been like if they’d cast someone else as dg. like...can you imagine it with neve campbell? or maybe she’s a little too old, too dated. what about alexa vega? she was about the right age at the time. or shoot for the stars, imagine emma watson with that part! basically anyone but zooey.
but it’s a very creative reimagining and even if the world building’s a little spotty at times, it’s impressively arched and layered in such a way that the you don’t feel the holes until you really start trying to think through it, at least in my opinion. :) }
