I must agree Flinx, this looks dreadful. Two words Final. Fantasy.
A huge geeky technical achievement, but why the hell not do it live action and let the cg do what its best at - creatures, fx and environments.
I'd happily go and see Hoppo, Jolie, Winstone et al in a live action version of this, as it stands, it looks like a massive waste of time and talent. The "humans" look really creepy. <shudder>
Zemeckis needs to have a word with Peter Jackson. Or go away.

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.
