This looks fun and may do the book proud.

Trailer really says very little about the plot, but looks like a feast for the eyes.

The book was a lot of fun. I can't see how the movie can scratch 1/10 of the book's 80's references though.

There's an awful lot going on in the trailer as far as references go.

There is but I can't imagine they came close to securing enough rights to equal the book's level of 80's nostalgia overload.

The presence of the Iron Giant and the DeLorean from BttF leave me feeling optimistic.

Yesterday, I saw a free studio screening of RPO.
I enjoyed it.
Three out of four stars.

I always prefer the book but the trailer looks great.
i was on tour on warner and i've met with some awesome guys that had something to do with the sound effects so that got me all excited. sound and music are awesome and that's something i couldn't even begin to imagine from reading the book. i went to music school myself but that was just mind blowing.

i has just listened to the audiobook, so the movie was hard to swallow in some parts. The streamlined competitions irked me st first, though I absolutely understood why they did so.
