As a CGI buff, I can’t want to see Speed Racer.  Admittedly, I watched the anime, but never converted to hard core fan.  But the trailers have gotten me interested and if the movie lives up to the hype, then I’ll be a fan.  Based on the trailers, the gods of CGI, aka the Wachowski Brothers, are staying very true to the anime: from the style of cars, to angles of the camera (even passing fans will reminisce over this and how well it’s done).

Honestly, with the Brothers at the helm, the question is how much better than other CGIs films is this going to be?  In theatres…May 9 (and on iMax too…that’s gonna be ridiculous).

Check the trailer for your self (there are more at SpeedRacertheMovie.com!

FYI – my short list of best CGI films…including animated flicks…(in now order because it depends on what mood I’m in)

Matrix (all of them)

Star Wars Episode III

Finding Nemo

Lord of the Rings (all of them – Gollum is ridiculously sick)

Emeritus

Star Wars Episode IV (obviously)
