After four years of development, logistics and construction it is an amazing technological feat.  More importantly however, people dig it.

Congratulations to my compatriots with the Universal Creative Team for continuing to push the envelope and deliver the coolest rides on the planet.

Rave reviews are already rolling in:

Variety has also written up a piece on the 3-D technology behind the ride, which I happen to be quoted in.

Don’t forget to checkout the official website http://www.prepareforbattle.com/ for more information on the back-story of the ride.

I found these clips inspirational and humanizing. Listening to how these writers go through the same anxieties, ordeals, and self-doubt as I do, makes me feel like I’m not always doing it wrong and inspires me to keep at it.

Writer or not, every film-maker should watch these.
