This was an outstanding and beautiful film. We saw it in 3-D and it was great. It is artistic and beautifully acted.

Agree on the outstanding and beautiful. I saw the flat film version, and am not sure what 3-D would have added to it. Are film makers still trying to get the audience to scream watching a train come in to the station?

am not sure what 3-D would have added to it. It could be said that it adds another dimension to it. Film makers aren't, I think, trying to make the audiences scream so much as trying to make the movie experience as real as possible.

I didn't even know what Steampunk was, but it appears that I love it, too!
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

Film makers aren't, I think, trying to make the audiences scream so much as trying to make the movie experience as real as possible. I think they are trying to eliminate as much intellectual challenge from their work as they can by replacing it with a yet another technique for generaing yet more carnival-like visceral entertainment. The alternative would be to produce thoughtful, indepth films that would fail to generate as much box office take, have no after-market lunch pail marketing venues, and leave the typical moviegoer (usually some form of adolescent mouth-breather) starring blankly ahead. Imangine, a movie that requires active intellectual participation. Fellini, we hardly knew ye. :-) Yours in critique, Issodhos

From the Steampunk Facebook page. Steampunk is the science fiction of the steam age. Where conventional science fiction looks forward and asks "What will the future be like?" steampunk looks backward and asks "How might the Victorian Age have been different?" Though the genre of steampunk began as a subset of cyberpunk, weaving stories of advanced technology and dystopian society set during the 19th century, it was anticipated by the scientific romances of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Steampunk is characterized primarily by the adaptation of advanced technology into a steam age contex Cyberpunk is a little more difficult to describe, read Snowcrash by Neil Stephenson for an example.

I don't think so. If you want intellectual challenge, read a book. If you want entertainment go to a show.

I never heard the term steampunk but I am familiar with IMAGINATION
You poor kids never were exposed to the great classical books that stimulated your imagination to the point where you need a new word like steampunk to express it.
Imagination can take you either to the highest possible plain or the deepest dregs of depression. Many things trigger the imagination.....or used to.
The undeveloped minds of so many millions of Americans who do not read these days often needs the addition of 3-D or even blood-sucking man-eating wolves. I think it is now called "instant gratification."
Building an ideal political movement cannot be done in 5 months but takes first of all a clear imagination of what one wants and then a plan to develop it. Slapping others down has been learned from television and is exactly what is wrong with our politics today. As long as the insult gets a laugh, that is good enough on line.
