Saw it tonight, it's a great movie overall, and the FX are very
nicely done. Obviously Manex are a clever bunch of people.
So how much of the rendered bits did you guys do? The main reason I
want to know is to be able to explain to people "you know XXX in the
film? Done on FreeBSD", and then act just a little smug.
I liked the slomo bullets and bullet trails, but I'm picking the
Manex bits were probably the "spaceship" underground scenes with the
Sentinels? Very nicely done!
It's a very good film BTW, for people who haven't seen it. Does a few
new things in a stylistic sense for an action movie, and does them
well. I really liked the slomo gunfights, I just kept watching all
the flying particles (eg storming the building lobby) and the people
in close proximity and thinking "how they do that?".

Yeah, congrats Charles, following Amancio's tipoff I hung round to
make sure I saw it. The scroll the bastards damn fast though, almost
missed it.
