Epic Film Trailer Review

For a 2013 animated film, this is really quite early for an official trailer to be released, but I guess it is better to build the hype early, right? So what can we make up for this first look on Epic, an upcoming film reminiscent of 1992's Fern Gully.

Well thanks to all these early press releases, we really have a good idea on what to expect with Epic, but of course not everything was spoiled. The question what is the war all about, how did the main protagonist end up as tiny as the mystical fairies, and what will be her part in this story are some of the usual questions raised by these kinds of family adventure animated film. They are still a year a head and a lot more time to polish and improve the already lively and lush universe that Epic tries to set up. Let's just hope that it doesn't get too predictable.

Dredd Trailer Impressions: Judge Dredd is Back!

Dredd is a 2012 action sci-fi film based on the Judge Joseph Dredd fictional character from the British science fiction anthology comics 2000 AD. Most of you might be more familiar with the 1995 sci-fi action film Judge Dredd starring Sylvester Stallone. Given this fact, the 2012 Dredd film is not a remake but more of a movie adaptation of the comics 2000 AD featuring the story of Dredd. Let's check out this upcoming action film here.

Dredd Film Trailer Review

Upon seeing this trailer I initially asked if this is a sequel, prequel or remake of Stallone's Judge Dredd (1995) but in further researching found out that the 1995 version that I was familiar with was not the first Dredd. It is basically a modern film adaptation of a classic British sci-fi action comics.

This is film is probably worth taking a shot especially for those who perfectly or vaguely like 1995's Judge Dredd. Maybe it is just me or it seems like Stallone's Dredd has been forever implanted in my consciousness because I can't help but to reminisce and compare Sylvestre Stallone's portrayal of the badass judge to Karl Urban's modern take on it. Hopefully there is enough high octane action that can also make us reminisce of what the 90's was back in the days. You can't really expect some complex plot when it comes to these kinds of film and what you see in the trailer is probably what you'll get when you hit the theaters once this film gets release on the third quarter of 2012.

The Prototype Film Trailer Review

Robots as a film's main theme is not really new or revolutionary when it comes to film making. The big question now is, in the hundreds of films that has robots as its main theme, how will The Prototype be any different?

Well if you have seen of appreciated the Bandito Brother's Act of Valor, then you might have expect something good from The Prototype, but if you aren't then you are in the dark just as everyone else. What we know based on this trailer is this: It will have a humanoid robot that cares for someone but to why and who is that person is probably the film's biggest twist/plot. The this prototype kicks ass but as to what his motivation for doing so is what we will have to eventually find out when this sci-fi thriller comes out in 2013 or somewhat later this 2012. We'll just have to wait for more trailers and info about this film.

Sinister Film Trailer Review

Horror film fans may argue to whether Paranormal Activity and Insidious are effective and good horror films, but for the rest of the world that loved the two recent horror film titles would probably expect a lot from Sinister. Sinister is a horror film from the same producers that made Paranormal Activity and Insidious, so how does the trailer fairs up with its predecessors?

Sinister 2012 horror film starring Ethan Hawke featuring a demonic Pagan Deity named Bagul that consumes the soul of human children


Sinister's premise is not really authentic, a family moved into a house with a gruesome history which will later haunt their family as well. The only redeeming qualities of horror films under these kinds of caliber and cliche are the scares. A good mix of jump and psychological scares is always a plus in my book and so far, Sinister has some of them. Hope the film would offer something new or has some weird twist, but even if without them I would still see this film being a big fan of horror film and as for someone who liked the Paranormal Activity and Insidious.

Wreck-It Ralph is the 9-foot-tall, 643-pound villain of an 8-bit arcade video game named Fix-It Felix Jr., in which the game's titular hero fixes buildings that Ralph destroys. For thirty years, Ralph has been doing the same job over and over and has become tired of being the bad guy.

Wanting to prove he can be a good guy and not just a villain, Ralph escapes his game through the power cord and lands in Hero's Duty, a first-person shooter where he helps the game's hero, Sergeant Calhoun, battle against "Cy-Bugs", the game's alien invaders. He later enters Sugar Rush, a kart racing game set on tracks made of candies, cookies and other sweets. There, Ralph meets Vanellope von Schweetz, one of the game's characters, who has learned that her game is faced with a dire threat that could affect the entire arcade, and one that Ralph may have inadvertently started.

Wreck-It Ralph Film Trailer Review

Faith in Hollywood restored! In times where everything seems to be a rehashed of something, it is rare and a great sigh of relief to see some few gems pop up every once in a while. I don't know, I just feel like Wreck-It Ralph has this very fresh concept using video games as its main selling point.

Having a villain eventually becoming a hero is not really a new idea, but when one entertainment media incorporate it with another entity like a video game it suddenly changes into something new. Being a fan of both films and video games, I just find the trailer for Wreck-It Ralph to be fresh and awesome. It is probably because of the many video game references the film will use, not to mention the cameos of various video game characters as seen in the trailer. This same scenario reminds me of the classic "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" which borrowed cartoon characters from different kids shows and weave them all in into one mega movie. Hopefully this film will achieve what "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" has.

Konami with the help MercurySteam and Kojima Productions has successfully revitalized and transitioned their popular sidescrolling platformer game franchise Castlevania into an action-adventure 3rd person game for the Xbox 350 and the Playstation 3 back at 2010 with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Although a reboot, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow got a fairly positive reception from its old and newer audiences. The 2010 Castlevania reboot may have looked like another God of War clone, but it can't be deny that it still has the same elements that made Castlevania Castlevania.

Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 Gabriel Belmont as Dracul possessing the Forgotten One's powers


Classic Castlevania gamers are treated with another take, a new origin story of the main antagonist in the series. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow followed the tragic tale of Gabriel Belmont. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 picks up where Castlevania: Lords of Shadow's "Resurrection" DLC drops off. The trailer seems to imply that Gabriel now known as Dracula is more of a menace than a savior as he face off with battle-born knights, but having the sinister and diabolical power of the Forgotten One in him he easily sweep off these warriors... until one seemingly familiar character is the only one left to challenge him. Most Castlevania fans speculate that this mysterious character is Alucard (Adrian Fahrenheit Tepes), the son of Dracula from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Castlevania Legends, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Castlevania: Judgment. Although it might be a treat to see another familiar character in the Castlevania reboot for the seventh generation consoles, fans should take this teaser trailer with a grain of salt. Alucard may or may not be a playable character in the game, not to mention the mysterious character might not even be Alucard himself. Still this is a decent trailer and if you played or wanted more from Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (2010) then you'll definitely would want to get your hands on this sequel.
