G-Force: "Bird ninjas" wish their movie takes off for a good blockbuster flight!

Much is to say when what you have seen so far is so vague and lame. Especially if at some point of your childhood you liked and identified with a certain cartoon and its characters, like the upcoming Gatchaman Movie ones. What is Gatchaman? Yep, I bet that at some point of your comic book life you heard about them,  A.K.A: G-Force, Battle of the Planets, Eagle Riders and Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. All lead to the anime bird look a like characters that started their first super hero flight cartoon episodes, back in 1978 in the US with a lot cooler name as G-Force or Battle of the Planets.
Gatchaman is all about 5 trouble teens which in the US market “aired” as: Mark, Jason, Princess, Keyop and Tiny; all with winged bird costumes alter egos to take a stand and defend earth from outer spaces menaces, specially from their main arch enemy the hermaphrodite Galactor which pops out of the closet with a “fox” look a like costume. Get the metaphor here? A “fox bisexual” going after “birdie disguised” teen age kids? Creepy ain’t it, but that’s how anime works out.
At Comic Con this year, I watched the movie trailer for 2010, but I think it will really spread its wings in 2011. However, the trailer didn’t catch my breath because it was a CGI animation film proposal. Not that I don’t appreciate animation, but I expected waaaay more!!!
 Even though fans out there don’t mind and approve the animation movie in blogs like: gatchaman-movie-will-look-more-anime-less-photorealistic.  I totally disagree and don’t dig the trailer!!! How come? With today’s special effects if used and manage correctly, nothing is impossible in filmmaking! I really believe that the Gatchaman anime movie should’ve come out with real actors in real settings, of course without loosing the anime visual storytelling film grip. Even though the original Japanese Gatchaman version is a lot more cooler and different from than the Battle of the Planets one, the trailer still looks like the movie will be a big unreal engine based cutscene. Really, not impressive these days! Still that’s the way Gatchaman will “air out” in movie theaters, but to me Imagi Studios anime’s film proposal will have a hard time to spread its wings to fans!!!
