i still don't know what to think of this movie. will smith is cool guy, but it stars his son more-so and i really don't think sci-fi is the genre for him

Will watch. I don't love Will's voice in the trailer, but still looks interesting.

It.. has.. found.. you.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I like Gary and Book of Eli but this looks bad. I would say it was aimed at the family crowd but I don't know anyone that would bring their kids to a movie where everything is trying to kill the new Fresh Prince.

 

[DTKT]

Yep, that's Icarus Theme from DE:HR.

Awesome, I knew I'd heard it before the second it started playing. Whoever cut this has good taste.

 

[heliosRAzi]

That's not Icarus. That's the Main Menu theme which is played in the trailer

 

[sky]

Why are they talking like that?

It's da future!

People will certainly sound different, same as they do looking back even 50 years.
It's an interesting thing to consider...

 

[nemesun]

I can't help but think this movie and oblivion are fairly similar in theme.

At least Oblivion is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes unlike this movie. This looks like a 3rd-tier popcorn flick in the mould of 2012.

 

[hiryu]

I think it looks pretty interesting. Pretty cool idea.

 

[Discotheque]

main menu theme was the best track in deus ex human revolution. beautiful

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

this and oblivion just look completely uninteresting to me. good for gary whitta though. got to work with denzel washington, gary oldman and will smith already.

Oblivion looks really interesting to me.

 

[Discotheque]

you saying that because of boring ass tom cruise, or the plot? granted it's probably the bias i have against the lead actor. can't stand him anymore. soundtrack will be really good at least

edit: not feeling the plot either. i think it will be a rental for the visuals and music..like the last film by the director haha

 

[big_z]

I like survival journey movies so ill keep an open mind with this one. Going by the trailer though it looks kinda bad. It's like hunger games on avatar world. The "you too Xtreme" to be a ranger is cliche and when jr is being hunted by a ping and will drops the "it found you" line wtf? Sounds like they suffer from speech impediments too.

And there is a twist im sure of it. The original trailer it shows jayden running away from sentry bots with a bunch of other humans. You can still catch a split second snippet of it in this trailer.

 

[Gary Whitta]

I actually had no idea that it was going to be in IMAX until I saw it in the trailer - that's pretty cool! Hopefully my local IMAX theater will be showing it.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Play it again, Gary.

 

[Mr.Fresh]

Looks ok ill go watch it.

 

[SpinningBirdKick]

Looks like they opted for the budget version of CGI.

The animals stampeding at the ~2:12 mark in the clip are moving about as realistically as rocking horses.

Ugh.

 

[commedieu]

I lol'd

Dont enable him.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Looks like there is an official 1080p YouTube version now.

[sans_pants]

why would all the creatures evolve to kill humans if humans were gone?

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

Looks good. I'm in.

 

[Bombadil]

why would all the creatures evolve to kill humans if humans were gone?

Either that's part of the twist or it's a glaring contradiction.

 

[big_z]

why would all the creatures evolve to kill humans if humans were gone?

Watch the first trailer closely and you'll find your answer.

 

[dorkimoe]

Day 1. Stupid haters

 

[sans_pants]

Watch the first trailer closely and you'll find your answer.

cant you just tell me?

 

[f0rk]

why would all the creatures evolve to kill humans if humans were gone?

Well Morgan Freeman is still around somewhere I saw him in the other trailer

 

[big_z]

cant you just tell me?

as mentioned above you can see a bunch of other humans running for shelter while being attacked in both trailers. The first trailer shows a lot more of the scene.

 

[ptolemy]

why would all the creatures evolve to kill humans if humans were gone?

Movie's a sequel to the Happening

 

[Parallacs]

The twist is that the planet is actually the solar system, Will Smith is the Earth, and Jaden is the Moon. The asteroid that kills the dinosaurs is a bullet that is shot by the enemy, named Kuiper.

 

[EagleBurnn]

looks okay

 

[Byakuya769]

I like will smith but he can fuck off with his shitty kids.

Been dealing with Hollywood kids since forever. Why do the Smith kids draw so much ire?

 

[Escape Goat]

Its a movie where Will Smith sits in a chair and talks to his son over the phone for 2 hours?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

what is the accent they speak with? not sure if it is a nice touch or not guess would have to see the movie

 

[LQX]

I want to be so excited as I love the premise and Will Smith usually makes any movie watchable but I know Shamalot will find some way to fuck it up. His last few movies have been total misses.

 

[Jokergrin]

what is the Twist!!!!???

 

[Salsa]

!!

 

[Bombadil]

Ugh.

I have been told by videophiles that CGI intended for Imax will often look like shit in compressed youtube videos.

So, if that is true, please bear it in mind.

 

[Xplatformer]

Will Smith needs to be banned from using CGI in any of his movies.

Irobot....cgi sucked
I Am Legend ....cgi sucked
Earf...apparently mammal CGI sucks


Not watching this.

HITCH seems so long ago.

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

The writing is terrible. Holy shit.

EDIT: Oh, it's Shyamalan's After Earth. Makes more sense.

 

[Lion Heart]

I'll watch for the Whitta

 

[Gary Whitta]

I'll watch for the Whitta

Thanks bro!

 

[RustyNails]

Awesome, I knew I'd heard it before the second it started playing. Whoever cut this has good taste.

...or is a plagiarist?

 

[Gary Whitta]

...or is a plagiarist?

Licensing music is not plagiarism, LOL.

 

[J.W.Crazy]

I beat he breaks his legs or something. That's why the kid has to go alone.

 

[Gary Whitta]

I beat he breaks his legs or something. That's why the kid has to go alone.

Yes, that's in the synopsis.

 

[Cake Boss]

The Smiths- The Movie.

 

[J.W.Crazy]

Yes, that's in the synopsis.

Well there you go. I guess I should read movie synopses more.

 

[ptolemy]

Too late to rename it "Smith Family Robinson"?

 

[Gary Whitta]

Too late to rename it "Smith Family Robinson"?

Haha, good one.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

I love the art direction, it looks beautiful. And the set up sounds cool. But if I'm honest, the dialogue sounded kind of corny.

But then again, I'm not being paid by a movie studio to write movies. Fair play Gary, it looks like a fun movie.

 

[jett]

What is the music that plays at the beginning of the trailer? Sounds familiar.

edit: already answered heh.

Trailer was okay. It looks more interesting than Oblivion at least.
