Pretty good, but I'm waiting for the intense stuff. Cool Another blatant Akira homage, too.

I don't really like how they are putting so much emphasis on drifting. Rolling Eyes

But other than that it looks a lot better than I was expecting. Some of the first trailers kind of gave me an uneasy feeling but this one seemed to put those questions to rest.

Why, by drifting frequently, a racer can take constant advantage of the minute speed boosts that successful drifts offer. In the film, this technique is known as spoiler[snaking.]

Wait, what are we talking about again?

Anyway, I'm impressed by this clip. That visual effects look well-done, and my computer speakers can't do justice to the audio. I'm looking forward to catching this movie in the theater.

PS: Is it me, or did I see a F-Zero homage in the race scene?

This movie deserves to be as big as "Iron Man" if not bigger. I really do hope it does well because it looks like a blast.
