Poster Rating: C+ / C / B (6) / B-

Review: (#1) Lots of detail, but in spite of there not being much here, it looks far too busy amidst the dull blue-green color wash. (#2) Another design that’s far busier than it needs to be, this time with a more colorful, albeit less interesting, palette. (#3-#8) While this grouping of character posters is still a bit too excessively detailed, the details are lovely and each one is thankfully unique. (#9) Akin to the prior character posters in design structure, it seems oddly less appealing than those while not being terribly different.

Trailer Rating: B-

Review: This hyper-kinetic trailer might appeal to fans of the genre, but it’s a bit excessive at times and doesn’t adequately highlight the film’s strengths. Still, it looks like a well designed and perhaps enjoyable adventure.
