I thought Elliot's CGI was interesting, and I might watch the movie for that. On the whole though, the impression I got from the trailer... It was so... American!
I'm not sure that I could enjoy it.
However, I haven't seen the original yet, so I had nothing to compare it to (the closest thing I thought of was Eragon, and we all know what a disaster that was compared to its source material) - but it
did make me want to watch the original, yes.
