Saw this last Wed (Orange Wednesdays FTW!) and before going to see it I was really hesitant about Karl Urban, but he drokking nialed it.
Also, holy shit at the random Berry & Fulcher's Snuff Box theme. That came out of no-where!

Can't believe nobody has asked this... does the movie feature I AM THE LAW by Anthrax? If not, total missed opportunity. Closing credits, c'mon.

I am hyped for this weekend. Glad to hear all the good impressions considering how sideways this production could have gone.

Was not expecting this. Movie is now on my radar.

The trailer didn't do a great job of selling the movie to me either. I really didn't have the highest of hopes for this, what with the reports of the director being locked out of the editing suite but it came together really well. If it really did kick off behind the scenes there's no evidence of it in the final product.
It's not but you won't miss it (or at least I didn't anyway). For what it's worth you can stream the soundtrack in its entirety here.

Whoa... this OST is kinda bangin'. Did not expect that, at least 30 seconds in...

Just watched classic Dredd, God that movie was awful, cant believe this one is actually good. I wonder when its coming out in Canada.
Is it worth paying the extra cash for the 3d, or are the effects the same in 2d?

I saw it in 2D since I use specs and can't stand the reduced brightness of 3D, but I definitely feel like I missed a lot of great stuff that way. If I could, I'd watch it in 3D.
Check the OP
Fair enough, you sold me on the idea of paying for the 3d glasses.
Hope it's worth it, all I know about Dredd here in the US is from seeing the Stallone film when I was a little kid.
Saw it. Loved it. Much better than The Raid.
Really liked how they switched it up later with the
. Could have easily rested on their laurels and gone with straightforward kill more and tougher baddies until they reach the top floor but they didn't.
A little silly
Really liked the uniform too. The golden emblems on the side weren't visible in the trailer due to all the dirt but they are on the other judges.

having a dead-man switch that activates in response to a signal, rather than in response to the absence of a signal.

Pssh. Pfft. Pah! Oof. Flimshaw and balderdash. The only thing Dredd has over The Raid is a more charismatic protagonist.

I really hope this does well so we can get a sequel.
I'm not particularly concerned which way round it was - though that's the first time I've seen The Raid accused of being the one to lift the premise - and both did an admirable job with it. The Raid just did it better. As far as action goes, I've seen nothing that touches it this year. Brutal, kinetic, inventive; just plain spectacular.
Regarding the switch I agreed. The lack of foresight for that made the ending make no sense to me till a friend explained it to me. But I suppose if she wants to leave the floors or go outside of the block the film's way would have made more sense.

Holy what? Okay, I'll go see it. I was content waiting on a home release but this makes me feel the pressure.

just watched it in 3d, begrudgingly. the film was fine, pretty much what i expected. i enjoyed the black humor & thought dredd was a surprisingly charismatic character. the slow-mo effects were used a tad too much, though considering the plot it was to be expected.
as an aside, olivia thirlby is gorgeous.

With an average rating of 6.7. Rottentomatoes is a weird system.
Still, impressions seem overall pretty positive. Will definitely check it out.

Hopefully will be able to watch this on Saturday. I'm pretty excited. There's an interview on io9 with Alex Garland about a potential sequel, but it doesn't seem to spoiler-ific. He also talks about Sunshine a bit.
Too bad it isn't poised to do well at the BO

Oh man
Maybe it'll be a surprised hit, but... I've only seen one commercial for it on TV in the last two weeks... and that was pretty late at night.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Let's hope it becomes a cult hit like Kick-Ass and gets a sequel down the line.

It's not even getting a showing at the main theatre downtown where I live

Is it rolling out in limited release or something? It's definitely playing here (Vancouver and all of its suburbs)
I need this poster:
Good interview on Garland that touches on a lot of stuff, including what a second and third potential film will deal with:

Holy shit, I live in Vancouver, too!
It's only being shown at the Tinseltown theatre, not the main Scotiabank one.
It's getting a wide release, but the theatre count isn't very high (2,500).

I live in Surrey, and it'll be playing in both Strawberry Hill and Metrotown, so I'll be checking it out in one of those.

Going to see this in a bit, will edit with impressions when I get back.
3D is the way to go, right?

Saw it yesterday. While it didn't look like the comic and was much mote low-tech, it certainly felt like the comic.
Just a really good, raw action film.
It being low(ish) budget was a boon. While I hope sequels get made, I hope the funding doesn't jump too much. If money gets involved, it could really fuck things up.

Seeing this tomorrow, though I'll have to settle for 2D. I wanted to see that slow-mo room raid in glorious 3D!
wait, so are you saying there actually IS a 2D version of a movie called "Dredd 3D"?
or do you simply mean you're gonna catch it on Bluray some day or whatever?

Seriously hoping this is financially successful. Seems like it's gonna be one of the better sci-fi/action films of the last decade.

Might try and go see this tonight or catch a matinee on Saturday.
I just watched the trailer for that last night and it looked awesome. Didn't realize it was the same director.
I think a pleasant surprise is much more likely. That said, Dredd's lore can get pretty wacky and wonderful, so I would like to see a bigger, badder sequel.

It isn't. They just share a confusingly similar plot/setting.

I hope it does well, but I wonder how many screens it will be given for 3d. My nearest decent sized theater is giving all their 3d time to re-released Finding Nemo and the 80th fucking Resident Evil. I can see their show times for the next week and they never once show it in 3d. Fuck that theater.

The Tomatometer has dropped like an anvil with the influx of American/non sci-fi centric reviewers. Not surprising, though.
