I really hope that isn't the actual soundtrack. Regardless it looks like style over substance.

Grim agrees with Brad - in that I hope I can watch a trailer with the OST :) The one they put on distracts far too much from what you're watching, trying to make it appeal to the yoof :oops:
Could be fun though.

I don't quite get you guys... if the trailer (content, editing etc.) is of any indication, that music is very much in the same alley as the film... goes well with steam punk I think...

Agreed, that just makes it look even worse but I found the music particularly annoying. It doesn't exactly look authentic. I just had to Google what steampunk means. I've not heard of that one before.
