Speaking of course of the new Netflix original movie.

Really enjoyed the movie.  I felt they left enough ambiguousness in their ethos, for magic, and history and such, for the viewer to take what they liked from it.  Always a delicate line to tread.  But it felt like a contemporary, instead of future sci-fi, version of the Shadowrun gameworld.  With a fine partner cops on the run for their lives basic storyline.

Hope everyone's Christmas went fabulous for them.

I enjoyed it pretty well, though it felt a little too... "in a vacuum"... some of those details, IMO would have been nice, and I think it would have been better as one of the 8 episode type series, to really build a little more depth.  For what it was, it was a good watch (though the Elves look like they straight borrowed the Castithan makeup and design department from Defiance..which isn't all bad as it definitely creates a more alien beauty to the elves than most versions have).

My only complaint is any real comparisons to Shadow Run.  Shadow Run is a combo of two things... Return of Magic Fantasy meets Cyberpunk. You can't have the one without the other.  I feel this would be just as easily compared to LotR or D&D in contemporary times (Return of the Dark Lord, Sauron, anyone?) as any real Shadow Run comparos.  

Go in looking for Shadow Run, and court disappointment.  Go in looking for an interesting show/premise?  You might be pleased.

Just my 2ct.
