<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, but she won't be parading around in a military bikini, so we'll have to settle for the plot, action, and cool retro look</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Check out the trailer from Eric's post then read up a little on the plot and look. The movie has ZERO sets, it's all effects, and it kinda has to be</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>They might have used pieces of furniture or something, but I know for a fact there's no sets. It's more like some office furniture over a blue (green) background and they CG'd the rest in</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Source? I'm looking at a still from the trailer, and this office definitely looks like a set. It seems like it be more expensive to CG a standard office than it would to just build the thing.</div>
