If there was one sure fire winner from last week’s Comic Con, it was Dredd 3D. The film held a special screening for a lucky few, and nearly everybody who walked out of it had good things to say. Even the most critical reviews, while deriding the simplistic plot, all agree that it looks great and there’s a veritable tsunami of crimson everywhere.

And now you can see some of the sources of both of those bits of praise, as we see some displays of firepower as well something that should please us locals: A futuristic version of Cape Town!

 

Synopsis:

The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One- a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called “Judges” who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd (Karl Urban) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge – a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of “Slo-Mo” experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed.

During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture- a 200 story vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan’s inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound’s control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival.

      Are you sure about that? The film was shot almost exclusively in and around Cape Town.
