Torchwood: Children Of Earth - Trailer

Friday 6 February 2009
Many of you will have seen this already, but here's the trailer for Torchwood: Children Of Earth. I like the idea of every child on the planet stopping in unison for six minutes (controlled by aliens?), even if it's vaguely similar to a key moment in Doctor Who's Christmas Invasion (when most of the population were compelled to stand precariously on rooftops) , and there are a few nice-looking shots scattered about. But it still looks incredibly hokey at times -- check out Eve Myles jumping out of an ambulance in a John Woo homage with twin handguns, etc. Still... interesting stuff, if not exactly enthralling.
