From what I recall of my browse through the script, it's reigned back on in the middle.

Cheers for spoiler!

Oh and the not knowing who Rowdy Yates is is a nice touch.

It's a bit weird having been the only one here who's seen the fucking thing. haha!

No spoilers, I promise but it's safe to say the Slo-Mo stuff is used quite sparingly and as a result, when it kicks in it's extremely effective. This isn't some Zack Snyder Watchmen fucking asshole bullshit where the movie would be half the length if it all ran at normal speed. It's always from the perspective of someone who's just taken the drug and as you can imagine, if they're showing us it means Dredd usually ain't too far away.

They've really gone to town with marketing the whole slow-motion footage so it's easy for people to think this is going to be the whole spine of the movie but rest easy. They know what they're doing.

Your new title is 'official forum bullshit quasher'  :lol:

I thought it was vague enough... but there you go.

Here's one to balance it out  :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyOaKY-gvBw&feature=related

I don't know if the views of a slackjawed teen who shouldn't get into see it count :D

He needs to leave the house more.

I'm not sure the whole implication of you brain perceiving everything at 1/100th the normal speed... Presumably, rather than being slow to respond, they will see Dredd entering the room in slow motion and be able to respond 100 times faster than normal.

That means in such gunfights we have to believe Dredd is over 100 times faster than anyone else, or it provides a scenario where Dredd has to find creative ways to out-gun them (which would be preferable as a movie concept).

JOE SOAP

Presumably thought-processes are slower.

Turn the subtitles on... makes more sense.

No. Just because you can perceive things faster doesn't mean that your able to move muscles faster. It doesn't alter physics just the mind.
