00:00Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would be here, so I'm just so excited.
00:26This is a magical part of the world, and it's so exciting to me.
00:29I go to Comic Cons in my own country and in other countries as well, but it's just such
00:35a wonderful opportunity to meet fans of popular cultures and entertainment, but also different
00:42artists and collaborators internationally.
00:45And I think it's such an important venue for creative artists of MRI and the Middle East
00:53for their talent to be shown and to really be embraced on a global level.
00:58If you can imagine with 3D, what your eye is doing, it's going backwards and forwards,
01:05you know, as these images jump forwards and jump backwards.
01:08For about half an hour, you'll cease it.
01:23I think the critical response, if I'm going to be completely honest, is based in a big
01:47way on surprise.
01:49Because I think when people go into a battle footage movie, they're expecting a very specific
01:54set of things, and Chronicle has none of those things.
01:57Chronicle is sort of a teen drama kind of a thriller.
02:01It's not a superhero movie.
02:18It's not a superhero movie.
02:46It's awesome to finally have Comic Con here in the Middle East.
03:10We went to a few back in the States and they were really something.
03:14It's small, but it's a start.
03:16It's our first Comic Con and we're having a lot of fun.
03:20I just love being in costume.
03:22We've met lots of new people.
03:24And you know, being stopped to have pictures taken, it's a lot of fun.
03:28We're here at Comic Con.
03:30We saw Jason Momoa.
03:31Yeah, took the trek from Fujairah for one and a half hours just to be here.
03:36First Comic Con of the Middle East and it's so cool, man.
06:44I am King Leonidas and this is Comic Con!
