Lots of superheroes and sequels there. Hollywood is far too reliant on superheroes at the moment.

Saw a two part mini series called the Wrinkle of Time several years ago which was poor. I wonder if the film might be the same story, but hopefully done better?

From that list, I'd quite like to see the Han Solo star wars film just for the cinema experience, but cinema tickets are too expensive to shell out for a load of special effect laden sequels for me.

Bit of a wasted opportunity really with it being Alicia Vikander. Why cast a babe if you are not going to show her off?

Stephen
23-09-2017, 12:46
Well the videogame reboot Lara had the same look so that is obviously where they were going with this as its so similar in look and style.

I am a bit confused by this and don't understand what it has got to do with the X-men. It looks like a standard teen horror and I can only assume that they use their super powers to kick some ass at the end but atm I am not seeing any X-men-ness.

superb idea, it would be great if things worked out like that. Doesn't matter anyway, I have got days booked off next year for Blank Panther, Infinity War, Deadpool 2, Ant-man & the Wasp and Jurassic World. I am going to keep my eyes peels for midnight premieres for the new Xmen films and I'll be going to those as well if they do them. I am was umming and arring over Han Solo but I am not sure if it is going to be worth it.

Quite a few films there one is looking to see General.

General Maximus
01-12-2017, 08:51
You have no idea. The films I mentioned above are the bigys for me next year which I will be going to midnight premieres for. Every year I make a film list like Paul M of films I want to go and see at the cinema. I have been doing it for a long time because many years ago I found there was always one film every year that I watched when it came out on dvd and punched myself thinking "why didn't you watch that at the cinema?". The best example is The Last Samurai. So after that every year before xmas I would sit down and trawl the internet to see which films were coming out the following year, watch the trailers and make a list of which films I was going to see at the cinema. Sure, there are some which looks good and turn out to be disappointing but it doesn't matter now because I don't pay to see them anyway.

My list for next year is pretty much identical to Paul M's at the start of this thread (minus a few) plus the (other suggestions) he has put at the bottom.

Paul
01-12-2017, 16:04
As noted in the first post, if anyone has any additions for the "other" part of the list, feel free to post them, I update the list now and then.

I am not jumping with excitement like I was hoping I would be. Hopefully this is just the first teaser trailer with the action in it and they'll do a more story driven one in February once Star Wars and Black Panther are out the way.

I will be going to see Maze Runner.

Not sure about the Ready Player One atm, that may be relegated to watching at home when its released to Sky.

As to the third one, I have never heard of Alita.
Apparently its another Japanese Anime adaption, and for me, those have not been good so far - and she looks just ... weird.

General Maximus
11-12-2017, 22:17
yeah, I got that it was supposed to be anime but to me it just looks like actors trying to interact with a CG character.

lol, it is half mine and half Paul's. I have copied his (the first post in this thread) and added links in for the trailers that are available so he can now copy my post (and then delete it) and use it as an update for his. Team effort :group: We did it this way last year because I can't edit his post directly so I have to copy his and then he copies mine.

I think the trailer is worrying. It looks very generic and almost a parody of action film trailers. She has to fight a organisation that wants to commit a 'global genocide' :erm:

It looks very close the the New reboot games in terms of Lara. The boat crashing and many of the action scenes.

I think I will enjoy it.

It does seem to take quite a bit from the first one such as where the boat crashes, Trinity and I believe there's some characters from the game too.

With the release of the second Pacific Rim: Uprising trailer, anyone having mixed opinions. After watching the first and second trailer again I have to join the main criticism that's been building. What's the deal with these fluid jaegers? What happened to the gritty slow moving gigantic things that made the first one so fun to watch?

Can't say I'm really that interested in watching a different power rangers movie. :erm:

First was amazing, the power rangers is in reference to the trailers for the second movie. The Jaegers in the first in no way act or move like that.

I'll just have to watch it but the trailers are really off putting. I thought they'd just continue on but it seems they're exploring new CGI and now it looks more power rangers or anime-esque.

8BAhwgjMvnM

My chief complaint about this movie trailer is what they have done to the Jaeger's. In the first movie, the Jaeger's were slow juggernauts, their movements conveyed the weight and enormity of the Jaeger's. They were titanic robots that took seconds to raise there arms over their head for power blows.


This^ is the complaint I have

Paul
01-02-2018, 20:35
Less complaining, more watching :erm:

To me it looks very much like Godzilla v Transformers.

I dont really care as long as its fun and entertaining, too many people take films too seriously. :)

General Maximus
01-02-2018, 22:08
Saw this trailer at the cinema today and I have added it to my list for this year. I love true stories like this and I remember reading all about it in the US news at the time it happened.

Nope, but i love little touches like that. They make me laugh and also show that the writers and producers care about what they do and pay attention to detail = one flipping amazing film. I am very much looking forward to coming out the cinema with an aching jaw and sore eyes because i have been laughing and crying so much.

Never been a fan of these American comedy films but Deadpool 2 looks pretty good from the clips l have thus seen so far.

General Maximus
01-04-2018, 10:05
I normally cant stand comedies because I find the humour too predictable and/or stupid and thus it isn't funny. I tend to find things more funny when unexpected things happen in a serious situation such as when they take the mickey out of Tuvok on ST Voyager for example. I love sarcasm though and that is the reason why I love Deadpool. It isn't so much as what he does which is funny but what he says because more often than not he is taking the piss out of someone and what he says is what you are thinking and is true. I had never heard of him before the first film and knew nothing about him and I only watched it because it was Marvel but I was crying with laughter as soon as the opening credits started. The type of humour is right up my street and even the reference in the trailers to stuff like Superman's moustache made me laugh my ass off. It is just genious comedy.

Black Panther, Ready Player One, The Death of Stalin, A Wrinkle in Time, A Quiet Place, Coco, Dunkirk, Baby Driver, Atomic Blonde, Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri, Molly’s Game, Logan Lucky, are all ‘original’ films I’ve enjoyed over the last six months or so (I’ve also enjoyed the blockbusters as well, mostly).

To an extent I do agree, however there are many reasons to reboot or remake an old series/movie. The main one being nostalgia.

People love things from when they were younger and any excuse to relive that means companies are always going to opt for that these days.

Some modern versions can actually be good however .Take Westworld for example.

quite an impressive conclusion considering only one episode has aired. Can they see into the future?

too convoluted
really? it carried on straight from where season 1 finished with the same characters and same story

only made because the first series was such a success.
nope, the producers went into it with a 5 season story arc so they knew they could tell a well paced and consistent quality story throughout the entire series rather than just rehashing the same story each season in the event it got renewed.

General Maximus
10-05-2018, 20:44
I am happy to give it a chance story wise. The only 2 things which are going to bug me is if the gimps have come up with the genetics and mutation story line so they think they can be creative "and change it up and do some new and refreshing" and if it is what I call too "micro world" where we see the same small group of people trapped in one building "lab" where it all goes wrong. For things to be real I need to see more of the world they live in and more people to make it believable.

Exactly, i am sick and tired of writers or studios trying to come up with whappy reasons to make something diffetent. It has been so long since we had a predator movie that i would gladly go for the run of the mill formula. If the ship is going to crash in rural america as per the trailer i think it would be fun to see it in somewhere like Texas and the locals banding together with their arsenal of weapons and try to survive.

I am not sure if it is supposed to be a reboot because I got the impression from the trailer that it is somehow going to link in to 2010's Predators due to the fact that we appear to have two factions/classes of predator again and one clearly being the dominant alpha.

19-07-2018, 10:23
The film festivals such as Cannes pretty much exist to give prominence to smaller, less-funded, independent film. For the most part, almost by definition, the massively popular films are blockbusters that don't need that attention. It's normal that general public awareness of who won what at Cannes is low.

I do think films that don’t get a general release can be seen as relatively obscure. A lot of the country don’t have access to a cinema that shows indie films and you have to be a buff to go venturing for certain films.

It’s also why the oscars can help since outside of the Marvel/Star Wars lot then some films need that exposure to get attention. Three Billboards would have struggled without the Oscar buzz

Looks like a Cube type remake but still worth a watch given how much CGI has moved on:

The cgi looks cack and completely like the old 60s tv series where the actors would pretend to be freezing cold and they put snow coming down in front of the camera lense. I dont know whether it is the same company that did Lustice League but it just doesnt look right; it is too shiny and polished. I dont know how to explain it technicalky but the marvel stuff, especially Infinity War, looks more grounded and the colour tones match. For me when you watch DC stuff the cgi stands out like a sore like watching a 90s tv series where they tried but you knew it just wasnt real. If i cant believe it is real and immerse myself in it, it hits my "realism" radar and spoils the film for me.

This was always going to annoy me anyway because even if it is the best film ever it still should have been made before Justice League.

I think it looks pretty good and I guess lots of underwater action is hard to do in a realistic way.

Thanks for your review General as your analysis is interesting.

DC need to take pointers from Marvel, I watched Suicide Squad again the other day, and the film is ok, but... you just wish that they'd done a marvel, got the characters in a stand alone film each first where possible, so you had some depth of feeling for the characters. Which pretty much sums up DC films, you just don't care much.

this is the best one they have done this year I think. I know it couldn't be helped but they haven't been as good since Andy Signore left.

and thing which I don't understand is how they manage to get it so wrong every time. They have had many years to plan, many attempts, plenty of examples from Marvel and the only good film to come out of it is Wonder Woman.
I am wondering what Suicide Squad 2 is going to be like, especially if James Gunn ends up directing it. I wasn't going to watch it at all but if he does I will and that is obviously what DC are planning on.
