It just looks like a special effects fest with a large dusting of pop culture references to me.

Far too much source material to fit into one movie. Fans of the Novel will hate it for being so brutally abridged, and the story will be so condensed that folk unfamiliar with the Novel will have fuck-all idea what is going on.
The trailer looks okay, but the film itself will do terribly, MARK MY WORDS.

is worth a read. Excellent idea but the Author isn't really equipped to carry it through. He gets lost in a wankfest over the geeky minutiae of a very precise time period.

That's not a film aimed at adults, is it?

Don't see how many kids are going to understand all the pop culture references crowbared in and as an adult i'm bored stiff with the plucky poor kid against the evil mega corp story.

there is no way that this can be anywhere near as good as the book - the cost
to license all the brands in the book alone would be staggeringly expensive. I would love to see Monty Python's Holy Grail smooshed in at the end though.
