I don't think it is hundreds of floors up, there aren't any suspended roadways so it doesn't make much sense having vehicles stuck way up there for a police force.

As for the buildings - they're a nice extension of the actual architecture - McMahon curvy buildings wouldn't work here - I must admit I expected it to be a more crowded skyline, but I guess they want to draw attention to the block size in comparison to the regular buildings at the base.

Has a good unshowy late 70s vibe.

Oh and I think that flying vehicle might be a seagull.

You must be so happy now , Michael , now that the images are coming out and you you can speak more freely!
What does the writing say on the Lawgiver? I can't quite read it other than 'SEMI'
...because I hate you.

The city Panorama shot looks great. The Blocks look like slightly futuristic Skyscrapers similar to contemporary High rise buildings today.

I assume the lone Judge walking towards us is Karl Urbans Judge Dredd and those other Judges look like Nazi Stormtroopers from the 1930's moving towards one of their concrete bunkers. They'll be no pretense that this Movie is about 'freedom' or 'growth' something the 1995 Movie was very much mistaken in mentioning.

Its Urban brutalism made to look almost 'normal' just another day for Mega Cities Lawmen turning up for work. Fantastic.

I'm pretty hazy on what it says.. It has been well over a year since I had to figure out what's on there.. But basically it's supposed to show weapon safety status, fire mode and what rounds are selected and how many are remaining.. As far as I can remember..

Looks to me like he's walking away from us: Lawgiver in his right hand, holster on his right thigh... Plus we can see the soles of his boots!

It could be high up, if you look at the building with the large screen on top, it seems to disappear into shadow as if it drops down well below the height the shot is taken from. Just my perspective.

He's already slagging it off on IMDB.

IMDB doesn't count. It holds as much merit as YouTube comments..

Man, just looking at that city shot again, and with the cars and judges in the back ground. They've nailed it.

Yeah, you're probably right - no wonder they have a crime-wave, takes them half an hour to get to ground level.

Yeah that one looks like a bird but there are other flying objects in the distance.

It's all about context.. On their own in brutal daylight, they look awful.. When properly shot and composed.. You get the above mentioned image.. Told you so :p
