Weeny’s Take: If you didn’t like the first film, I doubt this footage is going to suddenly win you over, but I thought the first film was exactly what it was supposed to be: giant robots trashing Los Angeles. Sure, the film was too long and there was way more of Shia being funny or Megan Fox being hot than of the actual robots, but I’d expect that with a sequel, we’ll see waaaaaay more robot action. And what the hell is that giant thing at the end? As with “G.
I. Joe,” I am unmoved by any nostalgia for these properties. I’m just responding to the wow factor of the commercial, and considering this is the first footage we’ve seen from it, I’d say it’s a heck of a way to kick off a campaign. Well- played, Bay. Fienberg’s Take: There’s a nawful lot happening in that “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” ad. If you liked the first movie — and I know a few people who may have — the trailer gives a strong inclination that Michael Bay’s “Bigger Is Better” philosophy remains entirely intact.“G. I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”Mc. Weeny’s Take: First up was “G.
I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra,” or as I like to call it, “Team America, F*** Yeah: The Movie.” This film looks stone- cold ridiculous, which should come as a surprise to absolutely no one at all based on the track record of director Stephen Sommers. I have no nostalgic connection to the toy commercial/cartoon of the ’8. I can judge is the footage itself. My prediction? It’ll be slick. It’ll be silly. And unlike “Transformers,” which had the benefit of Giant F’ing Robots to sell it to non- fans, I don’t see this as being a zeitgeist moment for Paramount. In fact, I think we’re probably two years too late for a giant paramilitary might- makes- right movie to really resonate. We’ve turned a cultural corner, and I think this sort of movie, where enough firepower can solve any international problem, might be exactly not what the audience wants right now. The hardcore online nerd audience has been Tweeting frantically about this one since last night, but I’m not convinced that’ll cross over to the general public. Not at all. Fienberg’s Take: The trailer is chock full of wooden acting, horrible dialogue and CGI blur. But the toppling Eiffel Tower is the sort of money shot that can make a summer blockbuster.“Star Trek”ot; height=”4. Vid=1& publisher. ID=1. 86. 11. 60. P1_Prod_Version=Shockwave.

The trailer’s a little frantic, but I understand trying to sell as many money shots as possible to show that this is not a TV movie. Even the biggest of the prior theatrical films was always hampered by a near- TV budget, and as a result, “Star Trek” was never a must- see for anyone who wasn’t already a hardcore fan. By selling this as a new jumping- in point for audiences, and by emphasizing the sheer scale of the adventure, I think they’re getting across the message that this is “Star Trek” for everyone, not just for the devoted, and that should serve them well this summer. Fienberg’s Take: New “Star Trek” footage, or at least a tiny bit of new “Star Trek” footage. Most of that material was already in the first trailer and nothing in the new trailer feels additionally “Trek”- y, if you ask me.
This has the vibe of a “‘Star Trek’ isn’t just for Trekkers” pitch.“Fast and Furious”Mc. Weeny’s Take: “4ast And 4urious,” or whatever it’s called, looks like they put the first three films in a blender and poured America a big frothy mug of whatever came out. And that’s probably not a bad thing, considering the buzz these trailers have caused so far. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a franchise like this where the major stars from a first film return to the series this far down the line, but it looks like it may pay off in not just a renewed interest in the series, but also in Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, whose careers have cooled significantly in the last few years. This looks like the biggest of the films so far, and Justin Lin appears to be growing into a fairly spiffy big- budget action director. Fienberg’s Take: That’s just a great trailer for “4 Fast 4 Furious.” Fast cars, bumping- and- grinding women, fireballs?
That movie is in good shape, quality- be- darned.“Land of the Lost”Mc. Weeny’s Take: Brad Silberling’s “Land Of The Lost” is one of those movies that doesn’t really need to exist, but of course, anything that’s got any brand awareness before it’s made is boner- fuel for the studios these days, and so here we are. Having said that, I like the choice they made to embrace the insane source material, and instead of trying to do a straight- faced and serious take on the show, they’re creating a big crazy SF/fantasy world and then dropping Will Ferrell and Danny Mc.

Bride into the middle of it. If that doesn’t appeal to you on paper, this trailer won’t win you over, but I think the not- quite- real look of things and the obvious snark that comes through loud and clear is pretty appealing, and I look forward to checking this one out. Fienberg’s Take: “Hand’s up if you needed a big screen version of “Land of the Lost”?
I can’t see your hands. The CGI dinosaurs aren’t bad, but the desert landscape isn’t convincing and there wasn’t nearly enough of the Sleesacks, Anna Friel or Danny Mc. Bride.[Editor’s note: I seem to be the only one pleasantly surprised by the spot. Looks like perfect summer fun to me.]“Up”Mc. Weeny’s Take: I’ve seen about half of Pixar’s “Up” already, and what I’ve seen is dazzling and emotional and not built like I would expect from a summer blockbuster. It’s a very personal movie, very intimate in some ways, and the “bad guys” still aren’t even being hinted at yet, which is probably a good thing. I like that Pixar’s campaigns now are designed to sell you characters instead of just giving the entire film away before the audience gets a chance to see it. They’re selling you Carl and Russell, the old man and the little boy, and the sweet and funny chemistry they have. What they aren’t selling you is… well… everything else. House. Balloons. Funny. That’s it so far, and I’ll be honest… it might be enough. Fienberg’s Take: I just watched “Wall- E” again the other day.
The first half of the movie is as good as anything Pixar has ever done. That’s my way of saying that while I’m not necessarily sure anything in this “Up” trailer has me convinced yet, the Pixar name is still gold.“Monsters Vs.
Aliens”Mc. Weeny’s Take: At the risk of offending the fine folks at Dreamworks Animation, I’m not sure why you advertise something that’s being released in crisp, beautiful Real- D in theaters with a crappy red- and- blue version at home. I hate TV 3. D right now. It’s still mired in the 1. It’s NOT, but how are they supposed to know that? You can’t really have the announcer say, “We know this home version of the 3. D sort of sucks and makes your eyes hurt, but in the theater, we’re using a much better process that it’s red and blue and we promise it’ll look great. SEE IT!” The trailer for “Monsters Vs. Aliens” is more busy than funny, but it’s pretty true to the 3.
I’ve seen from the film. Lots of vaguely adult jokes, pop culture references, and dizzying camerawork that’s designed to really show off the 3.
