It seems like it would be really difficult to make a popular movie with the satirical over-the-top nature of the Dredd comics, so a "cyberpunk The Raid" sounds like a good enough compromise. The only thing that made me laugh was the slo-mo drug. Is that a real thing in the comics? Because it sounded like someone got their hands on a Phantom camera and wanted to write in some (potentially awesome) scenes to use it for.

I later regretted it, but I remember convincing a friend to go see the '95 Dredd purely based on some behind-the-scenes piece I saw that showed the creation of the ABC Warrior. I just thought it was so cool that they built a big "actual" robot and not a stop motion model. I would like to see that production footage but I can't seem to find it in a youtube search.

Interesting reaction from Comic-con. Looks like it plays well with fans.

I hope they don't overuse the slowmo-gimmick too much, even if it looks quite nice.

Looks good. I dig the slo-mo and gratuitous violence. The /Film site had a quick little video review after seeing it. Sounds like a solid movie. Also, it looks like you guys were right in thinking that the rookie is a psychic

Since the rookie is Psi-Judge Anderson I'd bloody well hope so.
Cool, I just didn't want to step on any spoiler-sensitive toes.

The /Film guys even mention something about her (I guess) getting a read off of Dredd, but she gets stopped before too much is revealed, keeping his backstory more of a mystery for the audience. That and the constant helmet make it sound pretty good.
