“Watchmen” is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the “Doomsday Clock” – which charts the USA’s tension with the Soviet Union – is permanently set at five minutes to midnight.
Based on the classic comic book, it, unfortunatly merges into the scenery of a media environment packed with the likes of The Incredibles, Heroes, Fantastic 4 etc.
But this film should surpass all of these – I suggest that you find a copy of Watchmen comic books / Watchmen Trade Paperbacks and get up to speed
Watchmen comes to cinemas in Spring 2009
