The technology used in the making of the film is a dangerous energy source that has the ability to change the fate of the universe.  This substance,  aether, is displayed as a red, liquid like substance that often ebbs and flows in a bulbous form. Its tactile surface tantalises the viewer with the promise of touch when it is introduced at the beginning of the film but is kept at a distance through its placement in mainly positive parallax space. This is a tendency that is maintained 8n the introduction of the characters and the action scene in which they are placed.  Like many contemporary stereoscopic action films. The beginning of the film has relatively conservative 3D effects and most of the action is placed in positive parallax. Alternatively this material soreads from left to right (or vuce versa) rather than towards or away from the audience.
