Along those same lines, I've been a little bit disappointed in some of
the design choices as well. In the original film, all those blue lines
appeared to be circuitry of some kind, pulsating energy that flowed
through everything and everyone, keeping it all going. In the clips
I've seen from the new film, everything looks like real-world stuff
with neon lights attached. I don't know if I'm conveying what I mean
very well, and it's a subtle difference, but it did make me go,
"Awww..."

That said, I'm still insanely pumped for this flick, and I so badly
want it to be amazing. I've watched the original, I'd guess, more than
a hundred times, and have longed for a sequel. The fact that they got
most of the original cast back together, and made this a continuation
of the story (rather than a reboot, remake, or re-imagining) is
perfect. I guess we'll see what this director can do.
