I saw the preview on June 23rd of the nearly finished movie and it's an excellent science fiction movie. From a Freeper perspective, there are some really strong themes in this movie about government control and individual rights that should appeal to many here.

One of the core premises of the movie (and TV show), which is a sort of Science Fiction Western, was the question of what it would have been like to be on the losing side of the Civil War. Being science fiction, the troubling issues in the real Civil War such as slavery are eliminated, turning the war into more of a pure local rule vs. powerful central alliance struggle (with an alliance who has a flag that combines the American flag with the Communist Chinese flag).

This movie is really worth a look when it comes out in September. It should get a strong PG-13 rating.

It is a great series, we are all hoping (yes I'm a Brown Shirt) that this movie will inspire a resurrection of the series.

So, does it take place in the 1800s?

Welcome.

The Blue Sun shall soon rise (and when one thinks about the SCOTUS decision affecting provate property I guess that the corporate-gov entity called the Blue Sun in the series may truly be).

The future is already here.
