Watched this last night. It really is quite impressive from many angles -- visuals, cast, gore. The visuals especially -- lots of special effects, but not just of the "glorious explosion" or "watch them fly" but just... color balance, depth of field, mixed cartoon and live action, etc. Very pretty.
