N, shit looks generic as hell.
It's sorta remarkable from a technical perspective should the majority of the animation and modeling be the work of a single guy, but the sad sockpuppets in post-apocalyptia screams Hot Topic/DevianTard, the small characters in a big, menacing world has only been exploited in ever second ainimated movie evar, same with the lone savior plot.
Now THAT'S an argument.
It's not because it's BEEN DONE that it won't be good, ya know. How often have we seen movies with ghosts, witches, magic, blablabla and Miyazaki made MASTERPIECES with that. And anyway, what matters is not the IDEA, it's HOW you use it. Orwells made a movie out of a book who sucked like the shit from a frog, and yet he made a GUUUU-RAYTE movie.
The idea, the plot matters not. What matters is what you see, and, more than ever, what you feel.
EDIT : oops, even forgot to say what I thought about it all...
The shot-movie was kinda... WAW. There was no real story, no true backstory, no true plot more than "I'm all alone and there's a creature that might kill me, so I must protect myself", but that was what the director wished, then it was entirely assumed. What mattered was the energy and the beauty of this, and it was WONDERFUL; technically speaking, it's bluffing, the scenes are chaotic, yet constructed and fascinating... No, it was really nice.
Then for Tim Burton's... I trust him; I know his movies are always at least good, so there's no worry to have. But... the trailer showed something quite interesting, and the scene with the "knitting-spider" seemed really well done, I guess. So, even if I don't know if they're going to make something inventive, new, fresh, I guess it's going to be quite an experiment.
