The movie was well put together and disturbingly familiar. Capitol City looked like it was built from scratch with GGI and featured some rather conservative architecture. I wonder if it is a an example of the look Leon Krier advocates as an alternative to modernism?
Everything was neat, clean, new and vaguely Albert Speer-like. It suited the film well, but I got the sense that there was an implied critique of New Urbanism. I think they were trying to reference ancient Rome, but with a touch of the New York themed Las Vegas resort casino.
