Good to know it's going to be more like Pitch Black than the stupid bullshit that was Chronicles of Riddick.

Why is Riddick stranded on some backwater planet, again? Isn't he Lord Marshal of the Necromongers, now?

It's a shame, I really enjoyed (conceptually that is, Chronicles was a lousy film) the franchise moving from a taut action film into a sprawling space opera. It was just so inexplicable.

This looks beautifully 80's. Well, not in terms of it's aestehtic look, but in terms of tone. If that's a dumb comment it's probably because I haven't seen the other Riddick films though. For shame.

That trailer made it look almost identical to Pitch Black. I mean I liked Pitch Black, but I'm not sure I have to see the exact same movie again.

Good job, Internet, all your cries that Chronicles weren't Pitch Black have been heard! At least they did not listen to gamers, the previous one already was a a prison movie. Riddick is Space Conan, his stories should fit every adventure template, not retell the same story. That said, cautiously hyped.

For a film with a $38 million budget, it looks pretty sweeping. I'll see it for the cute Space German Shepherd that Riddick befriends.

It does look like a bit of a retread of Pitch Black but I kind of loved Pitch Black so I'm not sure I'm bothered by this. I'm curious to see what the Necromongers roles are in this though. I know Urban is in it but I didn't spot him in the trailer, only some generic Necromonger guy

Sure hope that they evacuated most of the cities that they dropped the Jaegers in.

I think its kind of weird how the first part of the trailer makes a big deal about how realistic it is, then MONSTERS.

It's weird how Apollo 18 was savaged before even premiering (I haven't seen it but don't hate its premise) for having the same things that this movie has. I suppose it's because the Apollo missions actually happened. io9 which has two separate quotes in that trailer has been pushing Europa as a candidate for alien life for years so it might just be because of the connotations of the destination amongst sci-fi fans (plus 2010 references).

I'm fairly sure it was savaged because of the big twist halfway through the movie and also the ending. They're both really bad. If Europa has the same sort of thing going on it is going to get the same treatment. I doubt it will since Apollo 18's ending is only possible in a found footage movie, and is also the absolute worst ending a found footage film could possibly have. Europa doesn't seem to be a found footage movie so it'll avoid that particular pitfall.

When I went to see Star Trek we got a trailer for Anchorman 2 but for some reason its pretty much a retread of the first one. You'd think they'd have something with a little more substance by now.

The ending is all the footage (of the found footage film, in other words the footage you are watching) was either destroyed or rendered unrecoverable. There is absolutely no possible way for that footage to have made its way to Earth and be assembled into a movie.

But, it might also be that by the time I finally saw it, I had every joke and scene spoiled for me 10x over.

I'm sure that part of that was that Apollo 18 sort of tried to do the Blair Witch thing by pretending to be footage from a "secret mission to the moon." Except that the premise is completely ridiculous. The liftoff of a Saturn V can be seen from hundreds of miles away, and detected by seismographs thousands of miles away. Plus the Soviets could easily track American spacecraft, and I'm sure there were independent facilities that could do that as well. So it would be slightly difficult to keep something like that a secret. From the trailer, Europa Report is either set in the future or a District 9 style alternate history. So it never asks the audience to believe that the events of the film "really happened."

Byzantine posted:Although in the movie, the launch is disguised as an unmanned Saturn mission, like Skylab. Also, the Soviets knew about it the whole time, since 18 was reactivated because a Soviet lunar landing met with disaster. Well, I guess that makes a bit more sense. Though it still can't work as a "secret history," because we know that the only Saturn launch after Apollo 17 was Skylab, which obviously wasn't a secret moon mission. Also, did the movie bother to provide a reason why the Soviets kept the fact that their space program had caught up with NASA a secret, even before things went bad? Still, if the marketing hadn't tried the Blair Witch "this movie really happened" schtick, I would have found it a lot easier to swallow. I still cringe at the "there's a reason we never went back" tagline. On topic: The Europa Report trailer looks pretty awesome. I really liked the look of the spacecraft and technical stuff. Reminds me a lot of real space footage. Also, I love the way the probe/helmet cam feed at 1:06 has a noticably lower frame rate, presumably for bandwidth reasons. That really shows good attention to detail.

Well, there are some theories that the Soviets actually sent up people before Gagarin, they just all died so it was hushed up.
