    Here it is:



    This looks like it might fall in that hugely uncomfortable 'damning-with-faint-praise' category of videogame adaptations which are better than the usual crap.

    And of course people will respond by saying that it's based on a videogame and therefore was bound to be shit, but I really have no idea why it's so hard to get this sort of thing right.

    It's not like they're adapting Bubble Bobble.

    Although perhaps I should go easy, it's just a trailer.

    I rewatched this trailer. Wow. It is cut together so poorly. Gives away entire story...which seems poorly conceived to begin with.

    They took the boat and island stuff straight from the rebooted video game.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I hate it when trailers reveal entire plot setup. Dad leaves her mission, she discovers mission, hires a boat to go to mystery island to lock tomb, boat crashes, villains are there looking for tomb for nefarious reasons, she discovers the tomb...geeeee, I wonder if she'll lock the tomb forever or if the villains will kill her and win.......

    Literally the only mystery left is if this video game movie will end with the main character (player) dying and failing the mission.

    Possible, and the audience sighs with collective indifference.

    I'm more of a Rainbow Islands fella. Don't know if CGI has gotten to the stage where they can get the rainbows right.

    So at first I was like, Nick Frost? This movie cast both the leads of Into the Badlands? Then I checked IMDB and realized that he's uncredited, which means it's probably just a cameo, and we saw Frost's only scene in the movie in the trailer*. Which made me think, ha, that's probably the case with Dominic West, too.

    * Also that is most definitely like a post-credits scene or something.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    All those slow motion leaps. I want one where she falls spectacularly short of the goal.

    Vikander was a poor casting choice for this role. Doesn't suit it at all.

    Nifty little fan trailer cut to a voiceover from one of the video games.

    You're underselling it by calling it nifty.

    That makes me want to see it more than the official trailer. Amazing what a change in music can make and how suddenly scenes I had seen already give off a halfway epic feel now.

    So basically, fans > Hollywood.

    Maybe, maybe a little more promising than the last trailer. There are some nice shots here. Could be decent.
