SUPER 8, CAPTAIN AMERICA, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE GHOST PROTOCOL Trailer Impressions
A movie lover attended the Russian International Film Market this past week and reported back to our friends at /Film that Paramount Pictures showed several never-before-seen up-coming trailers including J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 and Joe Johnston’s Captain America: The First Avenger, and some new ones for Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Kung Fu Panda 2 and a surprising tease for director Brad Bird’s upcoming Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol.
Here are the trailer impressions:
Super 8:
As everyone may guess, it doesn’t give any answers … but it makes us want answers even more. Doesn’t show too much surprising stuff. It’s still all about kids that are facing an “unknown incredible creature” (we don’t see it) that can control everything and do whatever it wants. Everything blows up, everything flies, the “creature” really has amazing abilities to change everything it has around itself….
Captain America: The First Avenger:
It partly seems to be a lot like Indiana Jones. Everything seems to be very natural and real. Can’t remember any usage of CGI. Amazing decorations, costumes. And the best thing about this film, it looks like the best part of its production is its script. A serious fantastic-military detective thriller….
Transformers: The Dark Side of the Moon:
The CGI looks even better than the two first films [put] together. There are some really innovative visual decisions and the 3D has an amazing quality. There was one kinda big spot with Sam and his new blond girlfriend that helps him get a job. Since everyone cares about her being in this film, from this spot I can tell that she [demands] much of the attention. It feels so [forced] when the camera catches her to show everyone her sexiness when it’s not really needed. Well, yes, she looks sexy, and from that spot she didn’t [show] any emotion on her face, [either].
Kung Fu Panda 2:
I’m not fan boy of this Panda story, but animation itself looks really great. Everything has amazing speed, and the scale is simply huge in every way. Storyline of the sequel is gonna be greater than the first one on every [level].
Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol:
It’s kind of hard to say why it was so impressive, but it was. And I’ve talked to bunch of people, and everyone [agrees] that it was trailer of the day. It works so hard, especially when the trailer comes to its ending, [where] we see Tom Cruise hanging down on the world’s biggest building in Dubai. It really blew mind. Maybe the reason for its success is in the fact that we haven’t see something like that for a long time…a large scale spy thriller going all around the world.
