I hope Marvel's taking notes. They're committed to seeing the whole Infinity War thing to completion, but once they get out of that, they can make stuff like this, just a story with no regard for continuity or canon.

I want a Planet Hulk movie dammit.

So is Shane really good then? I've literally never heard of it until this, and now I see a bunch of articles like "Oh yeah seminal film that influenced allllllllll the filmmakers." Westerns usually bore me, but maybe I'll give it a go.

If behind the scenes stuff interests you here is a really great article on some of the CG work done for the film

Edit: Article is very upfront with major spoilers

Completely seamless. I wonder if the CGI avatars could pull off dialogue or if it would become really obvious then.

I just think its weird the entire plot revolves around them escaping to Canada and finding asylum but we don't know how or through whom because all we ever hear is that one radio communication between the Earthmover dude. I don't think it would have detracted from the film to put in like a single line about "These people reached out to us and told us where we could find safety".

I think that would distract from the point. The movie does have some points about refugees and immigration, but the point at the end is not the brave nation of Canada standing up to multinational eugenicists. The kids aren't, as Logan thinks, trying to find some technological utopia from a comic book. They're going to build somewhat normal lives with each other as family, that's the real end goal.

I know this. I really do know. The Matrix should have redefined studios relationships with directors and refreshed their willingness to take a chance on an original property. Instead, they just mashed bullet time into everything for at least five years. I can't remember any faux bullet time or ill placed wire work after 2004, but I'm probably wrong.
Or just a character with a very specific purpose in the film that they didn't want to spend too much time on.

You don't see bullet time anymore, but you still see that technique from the second Matrix where action scenes go into slo-mo to emphasize cool poo poo happening. That's all over the place.

That scene was really good. So was the scene where Logan tries to drive through a fence to escape and it doesn't break
