Push the boundaries of what exactly? I think what you meant to say is
bridging the gap between film and video game content. Many shots in this
trailer look like they are straight out of a video game (that bridge on
fire, the 3D actors, ...). And stunning is not the word I would have
used either, annoying or soring for the eye is more like it. My eye is
just sore of looking at a fake repro of the beautiful Angelina.
Sometimes you just can't beat reality.
I think there's a fine line between stylistic (a la Sin City or 300) and
lack of taste, and to me, this imagery is falling into the second.
my 2 cents.
No offense to anyone working hard to make the stunning games I see every
other day.

Plastic dolls? I find it absolutely stunning visually and am glad
there are pioneers out there trying to push the boundaries of digital
content creation with movies of this sort. What I didn't really care
for was the recycling of the audio track from 28 weeks later. That
movie was like a Sci-Fi channel b- flick with a large budget and for
Zemeckis to use it as well makes me think the movie is going to be of
similar quality......despite the imagery.
