Branded Film Trailer Review

Branded feels familiar. Familiar in a sense that this could very well be what the working of advertisements are. Well, of course it is science fiction, but could very well be based on what might be. In our world run by corporations, the very products that makes our lives easier or gives us satisfaction can very well be enslaving us.

I think Branded has a very interesting concept. It reminded me of what Matrix was like. Of people being enslaved by an entity unbeknownst to them. A perfectly orchestrated system by corporations, until one man or group of individuals see through this twisted system. Well this film could also make you think of what the system is like nowadays. How sure are we that we are the ones in control and not being controlled with?

How about you guys, what do you think about this 2012 sci-fi film about advertisments controlling how we think? Share your thoughts about Branded's official movie trailer in the comments section below:

Robot and Frank Film Trailer Review

After watching the official trailer, Robot and Frank has this lighthearted feel to it. This might possibly the case of some of our old folks and technology nowadays, Frank just fast forward it a bit with a bit of twist, an A.I. companion that seems to be more human than a cold machine.

My impressions about a film isn't usually swayed by the recognition a film receives, but I guess this is worth a try. Robot and Frank has this certain vibe where you can just watch it with your family and feel good afterwards, we might also learn a thing or two about our elders and life in general.

How about you guys, what can you say about this sci-fi film about a man almost at the dawn of his life getting a new friend in a form of a robot with a sophisticated A.I.? Share your thoughts about Robot and Frank movie trailer in the comments section below:

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
Plot / Synopsis

The story of Dredd takes place on an Earth ravaged by the Atomic Wars. Survivors of this world live within megacities, gargantuan urban sprawls which protect its citizens from the Cursed Earth, a radioactive desert environment populated by mutants. The main story takes place in Mega-City One, where its police force, known as judges have the power of judge, jury and executioner to thwart crime.

One man, Judge Dredd (Karl Urban), a senior Judge, teams with cadet Judge Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) to stop drug dealer Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and her traffic of the reality-altering drug Slo-Mo.

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.

Real Steel Synopsis
Premise

Hugh Jackman plays Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.
