Lady Gaga posted:It doesn't really give you much information about what the story is about though. But how would you make a movie trailer for a story like The Great Gatsby? I've been thinking about this since I saw the trailer this morning and can't really come up with any compelling ideas. It's really not a narrative that you can introduce easily in a 2 minute trailer. Yeah, I haven't read it and what I got from the trailer was "Legendary parties! Drama! Legendary parties!"

I didn't realize how high my hopes had been for Bardem. Thinking back there hasn't been a villain I've thought was great since Trevelyan. Mikkelson as Le Chiffre was great in almost every respect but the movie overall was lower key as Bond wasn't putting to a stop to a huge megalomaniacal scheme or averting global catastrophe. And since the movie is plotted and structured around the fact that Le Chiffre is not the big fish he is basically meant to feel more like a bit player. Edit: I don't like the way they cut the Bardem reveal. The first, very quick impression of Bardem as a strange dandy is almost funny and I wouldn't be surprised to hear people laugh in the theatre.

Although if you're embarrassed to see it as anime, I know the giant robots go back a long time in live action Japanese TV shows (Spider-Man if I recall) and obviously Godzilla and King Kong go waaaay back.

BlueBayou posted:Im sure they will explain it in the movie.... Im just skeptical The only real issue with bipedal robots is walking, which takes a lot of balance and coordination. With human pilots and haptic feedback it's less of a worry. The real magic of any giant robot is that usually there is more than one pilot.

Attention Horse posted:Yeah, I saw some comments on the internet saying the exact same thing. I don't get it, what's so funny about the ending? People take Bullock floating off into space in only one of two ways: evoking the horror of HAL killing Bowman in 2001, or the dude hitting the propeller on the way down during his fall in Titanic. The crowd I was with already wasn't buying the trailer, and so the ending set them off. Maybe people don't buy Clooney or Bullock as serious astronauts or it just ended up being funny how often the movie relied on them drifting away. Like imagine you saw a trailer for an Everest movie where there were 3 or 4 separate times that someone slides down an icy cliff edge and maybe they won't make it!!! It was like the reaction to the trailer for that recent Halle Berry 911 dispatcher movie. The trailer has one abducted girl call 911 and Halle Berry has to listen as the killer kills the girl and gloats. Terrifying. Suspenseful. Then the trailer shows it happening a second time. But then the audience is thinking, haha this lady sure loving sucks at this! And people started laughing. Lobok fucked around with this message at 13:25 on May 13, 2013 |

The ape line works pretty well since it challenges whether humans would actually care about intelligence and sentience in another being or if we only care about other humans. That's Planet of the Apes in a nutshell. Humans and apes are already so similar that we should care for apes more, and yet even when apes close the gap by speaking our own language back at us we still don't give a poo poo about them. Also, I'm loving that this is coming out with Ultron set to be the big Avengers villain. Should be interesting to compare and contrast.

We still get tons of stories from time periods way older than mid-20th century so I don't think stories about WW2 will die off as a function of time. It's a hugely fascinating and important period for dozens of reasons that extend beyond Grandma and Grandpa being involved in it.

flosofl posted:I'm willing to bet whoever made those short teases never saw the original. I saw it but so long ago I'm not sure it counts. The effectiveness of the music is less about recognizability and more about it being unnerving in a novel way, i.e. not the usual high-pitched violins or not-so-subtle heartbeat percussion.

^^Mentioned this in the games forum not too long ago, but in Syndicate you meet with Benjamin Disraeli and his wife. Mrs. Disraeli carries around a little dog named Desmond in a handbag. You actually have to rescue the dog at one point during a silly late-game mission.Happy Noodle Boy posted:But why in the ever-loving gently caress would this simulation need actual hidden blades / bow and arrows or any other actual weapons Maybe there's going to be a scene where he's killing someone in the genetic memories but actually kills someone in the real world at the same time.

Sir Kodiak posted:The frame story largely exists to make the immersion-breaking mechanics (locked-off zones, strict mission requirements, etc.) part of the fiction by presenting them as being imposed by the in-world simulation of the past. This is completely unnecessary, generally more disruptive than just flatly enforcing them the way GTA would, and not used in an interesting way, so just imagine how good it'll be in a movie where there isn't even the excuse of working around the limitations of game mechanics. The idea of the animus basically takes the "whoa I know kung fu" appeal of the Matrix's instant skill endowments and crosses it with an Ancestry.com/cliche Chosen One appeal of any one of us schlubs potentially being part of some important, bad-rear end bloodline that we didn't know about. The videogames mostly squandered it but the basic premise has a pretty sound Everyman fantasy foundation.

Sir Kodiak posted:I would have been completely onboard with this if it had gone down a road of having the second half of the game, or the sequel, or whatever be modern day/near future action where the historical training explains why the guy just loves using blades and such. I really don't get what happened. Everyone expected the series to culminate in a modern-day AC but either they were always intending to string people along or they couldn't conceive of a modern-day setting that wasn't parkour friendly and a hero that wouldn't use guns all the time. But AC:Syndicate worked really well with 19th century London so... I dunno. Adding an extra 200 years to that game would not have necessitated drastic gameplay changes to make it work. Edit: Though on second thought a modern-day AC would have been directly competing with the Arkham series even more than it already does so maybe it's just best they stayed in their lane.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:They weren't though...were they? I honestly don't remember, but at least SOME of the time there wasn't a loading screen....right? I don't recall any loading screens but there was a cutscene, haul summary display, and a menu decision for you to make regarding the boarded ship's fate that really slowed down and interrupted things when you wanted to board a ship but still had more to fight or board in the battle. Very tedious and made boarding a bit of a chore when that should be the ultimate high in a pirate game. Edit: When I said "haul" I of course should have said BOOTY

Bugblatter posted:I don't play AC games, the movie was only on my radar because of Macbeth. I was really interested to see that director and Fassbender working together again, but then I thought the movie looked awful after the previous trailers and disregarded it. Things being different are always going to be off-putting at first but I thought this trailer was much better, music choice aside (I'm okay with the idea just not that particular song). The most jarring change is the Animus being this huge robot arm contraption but I think that works better cinematically and serves to differentiate from the same kind of machine in the Matrix so it's a good call.

Hooked on a Feeling is almost the GotG theme song at this point so it makes sense they went with it for at least the first trailer. But yeah, I was also a little disappointed. Hope they show off some other music in subsequent trailers.

I think the Kong trailer was great. With the jokes and sheer amount of footage of both Kong and other monsters they're showing right away it seems clear they're trying to really brand this is pure popcorn pulp. Angling towards Jurassic World rather than Godzilla.

Jewmanji posted:Eh, I think it was ill-advised but Tom Cruise is great when it comes to keeping things light and out of grim-dark territory. But I agree that the whole thing is sort of a fool's errand. I'm not sure who would be a good fit in that role at the moment. The earnest 90's leading man type that Brendan Fraser occupied doesn't really exist anymore. Chris Pratt seems pretty close, but he doesn't have quite the leading man look of the era the Mummy films were going for.
