TypeO Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 This is so badass. Caught this trailer Friday night before the start of The Wolverine (which wasn't bad at all, considering I'm not an X-Men fan) and was blown away. From the Director of District 9, so it's got street cred. And Matt Damon is really stepping up in the action roles. To be fair, it looks to have a lot of politics sown in (class warfare, environmental issues), but that's usually part of a good movie plot, anyway. Opens August 9, and I'm planning on being there with a sweet buzz on, LOL. Quote
Sagittarius Rising Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Yes! I saw the trailer as well and this really looks good. Matt Damon is becoming quite the character actor, to go from his role in Liberace to this, the man has talent. Quote
TypeO Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 I'm gonna be honest, they had me at 0:26-0:38. That 14 seconds alone sold me. Quote
SuperDave Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Looks like a good one. Just hope they didn't just have the best parts of the movie in the trailer. Anyone seen any reviews of this film and whether or not it's quality film and not just a lot of action with fx. Quote
FunkyPhantom Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 if its even half the movie District 9 was, then it should be worth the ticket price. Based on the trailer, it looks fantastic. Quote

TypeO Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 As Bob Seger sang, Tonight's The Night! I am super-psyched to see this one. Which is unfortunate, in a way. I much prefer to be surprised how good a movie is, rather than anticipating how good a movie is. Either way, it's on, baybeee! Quote
2bitnogoodjive Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Well, is this really a "must see" or should I save my money? Quote
TypeO Posted August 11, 2013 Author Posted August 11, 2013 Well, is this really a "must see" or should I save my money? I loved it. It wasn't quite at the level of, say, Avatar in terms of jaw-dropping, but it was pretty awesome. I would rate it as having the same type of impact, visually, as Prometheus. And the IMAX version is pretty intense. You feel like you're there. And the soundtrack was good. There was some dubstep in it, and it was perfect for the particular scene. Quote
