mclz Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Anyone gonna see this? I am going to an advanced screening of it tomorrow in the city. Still mixed feelings about it from the previews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxamaphone Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'm so sick of hearing about this movie. I hope it turns out to be the next Waterworld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesar11 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Good sir, you let me know how it is because I've been wanting to see this movie since I saw that (basically) mute trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadmonkey Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'm so sick of hearing about this movie. I hope it turns out to be the next Waterworld. The marketing for this movie is pretty annoying, but they need to hype it up so they can hopefully break even with it. That being said, I too will be going to a screening on Friday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 It's getting overhyped to death w/ all the advertising. I haven't seen it...and I'm sure it's gonna be awesome w/ all the special effects and CGI...but I already hate the fuckin' movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonix Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I think comparing this movie to waterworld is accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destroyingthescene Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I think comparing this movie to waterworld is accurate. Except that all the critics are jacking to this film like it's the lingerie section of the Sears catalogue. I wasn't sure what to think of this flick but the reviews do have my pretty intrigued. I'll be checking it out probably after Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I haven't seen any reviews, but some of the CGI and the trailers make it look fucking stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanketbyday Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 you guys are nuts, james cameron! The bastards name is on some of the best Science Fiction/Action movies of the past 20 Years! Movie is going to own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmonaut Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I haven't seen any reviews, but some of the CGI and the trailers make it look fucking stupid. Agreed. It looks like a cartoon. I like CGI when it's used to enhance solid movies, but I can't stand films that exist only as vehicles for 'amazing special effects'.

casey Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I wouldn't watch this movie solely for the fact that the main CGI characters are fucking stupid looking. You've got nine figures to spend on a flick and none of that goes to market researching a character that looks like a blue cat with Down's syndrome?

jhulud Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I think that the main reason it's being over-hyped and making it seem like the second coming of Casablanca is b/c of James Cameron. Sure, he has done some amazing films in the past...but in the grand scheme of things, he's not a film auteur (sp?) who is herladed as THE best filmmaker of all time. Don't get me wrong...I love some of the films he has done, especially Aliens...but c'mon...Avatar looks like Starship Troopers meets Fern Gully. This movie looks to be carried solely on its use of advanced CGI, which if the story/plot doesn't hold up, then the CGI alone can not save it.

kirbypuckett Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 If the movie bombed ala Waterworld you would hear more about it than you already do. Because there will be millions of articles and posts on how it could be better. If it succeeds, it'll do well, and unless it's truly ground breaking then not too many people will continue to talk about it. If it is OMFG AMAAAAAZING then you'll want to talk about it too. Side note, I didn't even know that this movie was that hyped. I've seen a few commercials and I've heard about it a few times on the web, but I don't know anything about it. Well, until I read the wiki page a few minutes ago that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaps Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 If a company has to spend millions to promote a movie, it probably sucks. I have a theory the more they have to waste on advertising it, the more it blows. And judging by the review of this movie I would vomit during the last 40 minutes.

The Dark Knight had one of the slickest marketing campaigns of all time. I'm not sure how much they spent, a lot was word of mouth. But that was a solid flick.

axlrose Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Reminds me of some other movie he directed that everyone jacked off on until after the Oscars and it was too late. Then all the critics realized the movie sucked shit and 10 years later it's a joke of epic proportions. I mean Terminator of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movie is going to own. 30 years is a little more appropriate http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000116/maindetails ...and I am incredibly stoked about this movie. I wanna see it this weekend if possible.

Yeah but the Dark Knight wasn't based on "See a special 20 minute trailer of the Dark Knight after tonight's very special Fraiser reunion!" It was slick, it was smooth and well done, much like the movie. This advertising is over blown, in your face and annoying (much like I imagine this movie will be). I'd much rather read about some blogger getting a Batman cake with a phone inside it than see the same commercial 3,000 times in two days. I'm sure I'll see this and it will be fun, but it does bum me out that, by it's nature, it will get more press (and possibly more awards) than more deserving films.

Like I said before, I don't really no much about this movie / the advertising. So I'm not a good judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'd rather see the Road, but goddamn Buffalo theatres haven't gotten it yet. By the same advertising theory that I hold, that movie has to be awesome because they haven't promoted it for shit. This one looks stupid.
