Men in Black: International Film Trailer Review


So what is there to say about the Men in Black: International official movie trailer? Well, it's good to see the expansion of the world of Men in Black which was loosely based from the Malibu/Marvel comics of the same name by Lowell Cunningham. It is good to see some old faces like Frank the Pug, the Worms, and Agent O (played by Emma Thompson), the head of MIB's US branch. Since Agents K (Tommy Lee Jones/Josh Brolin) and J (Will Smith)'s story has ended with the original MIB film trilogy, we now follow two new agents, Agent M (Tessa Thompson) and Agent H (Chris Hemsworth).




We can see that the two leads, Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, have good chemistry. I think this is what sells this MIB spin-off, get two very likable and charismatic stars who are both from two Marvel movies Thor Ragnarok and 2019's Avengers: Endgame. As of the posting of this blog (June 15, 2019), reviews are coming in for the film ranging from a negative rating to an okay one, only saved by the performance of the two main leads.

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:

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.

Looper Film Trailer Review

They just wanna have fun... Now after that stupid pop culture reference is out of the way. Looper is a another one of those time travel sci-fi films that pits the main character with himself. The usual question in this sort of films is to who, what, when, and how did he end up confronting the version of himself?

The film's main selling feature is the Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis team up. Next would just be the story and the film's Noir setting. I am not really hyped up about the plot, but am curious as to how will the action and mystery element unfold. Not to mention seeing Willis and Levitt in a solid action mystery sci-fi title. Hopefully it would not be as predictable as I initially think of movies of these genres. 2012 is truly shaping to be the year of Sci-Fi action films.

Total Recall Film Trailer Review

Finally a new sci-fi action trailer that really looks awesome! Yes, I feel genuinely interested in the Total Recall trailer. It is a remake of the 1990's Arnold Schwarzenegger Total Recall film but it feels right.

I can barely remember scenes from Total Recall, but I have a good idea that it was a complete action fest especially as it stars Arnold Schwarzenegger back then. Total Recall looks awesome back then and now. A different action movie for a different generation. With the special effects technology available for Hollywood's disposal, Total Recall is shaping to be the new action sci-fi blockbuster.

Beyond The Black Rainbow Film Trailer Review

A film set in the 1980's and the film stands to it. The Beyond The Black Rainbow film trailer is one of those trailers that will make you ask yourself "What the hell did I just watch?".

Do not have high hopes on this film, as it received mostly negative reviews for its unorthodox phasing, use of visuals and story telling. In my honest opinion, Beyond The Black Rainbow is a title that falls under the artsy-fartsy style of film making. Hopefully this is not just a film that only cinephiles of an extreme level could understand and appreciate.

Lock-Out Film Trailer Review

In a future not so far from ours (that is what I want to imagine that this film uses), the world's most dangerous criminals are incarcerated in an inescapable and impenetrable maximum security prison... in space. So when the presidential daughter went off on a goodwill mission to that prison in space and gets abducted it is up to one "loose cannon" to save the day. What a story! This is just pure science fiction cheese we have here ladies and gentlemen.

The big question is to whether this cheese is worth tasting or not. The trailer seems to give off a delectable aura to this sci-fi cheese. Hopefully the action will keep this film from not sucking that much. Why is it that the some of the best rescuers are loose cannons? Isn't there anyone else? Well guess we'll find out when Snow infiltrates and successfully rescues the princess, I mean the president's daughter in Lock-Out.

Prometheus Trailer Impressions: A 2012 Sci-Fi Film Set on the Alien Film Series Universe

Prometheus is a 2012 science fiction horror directed by Ridley Scott film distributed by 20th Century Fox. Prometheus is a sci-fi film is said to be a prequel to the Alien film franchise but approached in a different manner. You might see some elements from the Alien film franchise here but don't expect the xenomorphs to be the main antagonist in this 2012 Ridley Scott sci-fil film.



Prometheus

Prometheus Official Movie Trailer Impressions
Prometheus Film Trailer Review

Fans to the Aliens film franchise might have mixed emotions with this rumored prequel to alien. The film/trailer might feature some familiar elements to the popular Alien film series, but fans should also understand that it is set prior to the cult classic Alien film which only means one thing, no xenomorphs (monstrosities for all Alien film series), but that doesn't mean that there won't be any horrors that awaits the unfortunate team set on this perilous mission.



It as that very familiar "Inception" music playing in the Prometheus movie trailer's background which either relates to Inception's "epicness" or just some annoying to those who think that this doesn't even come close. In a way the trailer works, both for Alien film fans and to the newer generation of movie goers. What could be the horror behind all of these? Well, this is just the first official trailer for the film, and it is a long way to go before its June "Summer" 2012 release, so it is expected that they will release more and unfortunately spoiler-full trailers. Hopefully they keep that mystery in tact. There aren't many mainstream sci-fi films created nowadays and Prometheus is a just perfect for sci-fi film fans.

The intergalactic secret organization called the Men in Black and its top Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are once again back for the third time. I for one am excited for this third MIB film.

John Carter Trailer Impressions: A CGI-Filled Epic Alien World War with... Humans?

John Carter is a 2012 epic sci-fi film featuring the main protagonist of the Barsoom series of novels by the highly acclaimed pulp fiction author Edgar Rice Burrough (1875 –1950) who also created Tarzan the King of the Jungle. Although here have been various of publications featuring John Carter, this is the first time that Hollywood made it to a grandiose epic of a film slated for a March 2012 release. So what there s to say about the John Carter trailers? Check it out here.



John Carter
Plot / Synopsis

The film is largely based on A Princess of Mars, the first novel to feature John Carter. The novel was originally published as a magazine serial in 1912 and then brought out in book form in 1917. In the novel John Carter is an American Civil War veteran who is miraculously transported to Mars, known to its inhabitants as Barsoom. He is immediately captured by a race of green-skinned barbarians who are 12 feet (4 meters) tall, having six limbs and long tusks. Formerly an Earthlike world, Barsoom has become less hospitable to life over the millennia. As its oceans evaporated and its atmosphere thinned, Barsoom's inhabitants became hardened and warlike, constantly fighting one another to survive. Barsoomian society thus devolved into partial barbarism.

Carter befriends the Green Martian Tars Tarkas and rescues a humanoid Red Martian princess, Dejah Thoris, from the Tharks, a belligerent tribe of Green Martians. He gains the Barsoomians' respect with his superior strength and fighting ability. Carter ultimately enlists the Green Martians' assistance in winning a war waged by Dejah Thoris' people, and he saves all Martians from asphyxiation when the planet's atmosphere factory malfunctions.

John Carter Trailer Review

When I saw the first trailer of John Carter I said to myself "Hmm... okay. This looks like it is going to be a decent sci-fi film". After the second trailer was released this December 2011 my expectation was raised a couple of notch. Do not get me wrong it looks really epic and it is made by Walt Disney but the trailer looks cartoonish and some scenes (in the trailer) does not look convincing (Yeah, as if humans being teleported to fight a Marsians fight is realistic hahahaha). Not convincing that the blending of the live human actors and the CGI seems off, as seen on the very first screen cap on this Johhn Carter trailer review. It might just be the quality of the trailer, but I do hope that this would not be the case when it finally hits the theaters on March 2012.



Upon additional research regarding the John Carter 2012 film, I found out that it is actually a movie adaptation of a classic. John Carter was one of the masterpieces of author Edgar Rice Burrough who also created Tarzan. Well, we are all familiar with Tarzan, so this time it is John Carter's turn to introduced itself to the newer generation of movie goers and readers. With that note, I started to appreciate this 2012 Walt Disney title a little more, and now CMAQUEST puts John Carter on its "2012 to-watch list". Hope Walt Disney does not disappoint with this movie adaptation of the 1912 John Carter.

The Darkest Hour Trailer Impressions: How to Survive an Energy Devouring Alien Invasion

The Darkest Hour is a 2011 science-fiction alien invasion themed film slated for a December release from Summit Entertainment and 20th Century Fox. Hollywood has brought us various reiterations of how an alien invasion might happen, but they usually involve some solid and visible threat that everyone might easily fight back or be afraid of, but The Darkest Hour takes a fresh take on it. Want to know what we are talking about? Then check out the trailer review for The Darkest Hour.



The Darkest Hour
Plot / Synopsis

The Darkest Hour follows five young people who find themselves stranded in Moscow, fighting to survive in the wake of a devastating alien attack. The 3D action-thriller highlights the classic beauty of Moscow alongside mind-blowing special effects from the minds of visionary filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov and director Chris Gorak. While most films about alien invasions are centered in the United States or have an international scale, Bekmambetov's involvement ensured the premise to be an alien invasion from Russia's perspective.

The Darkest Hour Trailer Review

Aliens will never go away. Just when you thought that you have seen it all, comes a new film that somehow gives it a fresh take. At least that is what The Darkest Hour official film trailer tries to showcase. Did it work? In a way, YES!



Well at least we are given a fresh perspective on an Alien invasion, a Russian one. But do not mistake this as a Russian film, the setting is only in Russia, but the main survivors (protagonists) speaks the international language. The trailer has teased film fans enough to make them go see how will the world survive an invasion from alien energy-devouring light orbs. Upon seeing the trailer one can also ask if to whether these light orbs are indeed formless energy-devouring lights or there are some diabolical alien creature using this as a shield. The mystery of finding out about this is will drive people to watch this. The Darkest Hour gets a nice recommendation for CMAQUEST, as this is now on my "to watch" list.
