sh9000 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Cool. Got some Depeche Mode music in the trailer as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangledThorns Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Watched the trailer feeling meh about it. I guess it's because all the nostalgic stuff comes across as pandering to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizman Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 So it's a clashing of all pop culture in one movie for cool visuals? Gotta give em credit for getting so many franchises on board, here's hoping there's a good story to back up the CGI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's because all the nostalgic stuff comes across as pandering to me. Wasn’t pandering at all. The creator of the Oasis was a child of the 80’s. Like most people he has a connection and a fondness for the era he grew up in, so he created an environment that used the things from his childhood. When he created the “hunt” contest his interests became an obsession for pretty much everyone because clues to finding the egg and winning the contest could only be found and solved if you were WELL versed in 80’s pop-culture and really all “nerd” culture. It’s a great book. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 not sure how I feel about this. kind of feels like Jupiter Ascending with a distracting amount of pop culture references. Also, seeing video game characters from really recent games so prominently in the trailer annoys me in a totally irrational way. Even more irrationally, I don't like the main actor because he looks too much like Miles Teller, and once any movie becomes associated with Miles Teller in my mind it gets an automatic strike against it.

JetJockey Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) I never read the book but I heard about it. No one told me of all the videogame and other characters though. I only saw a news story today that captured images from the trailer of Gundam, Chun Li, and many others. I think I'll watch the movie first and if it's good check out the book.

David Hingtgen Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I do wonder why the original Gundam, considering the audience. I'd expect Zero, or even Burning. And honestly, hate to admit it, but---a "Veritech" would have much higher recognition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, there's no chance in hell of WB sorting out the mess needed to get a VF-1. They probably don't even want to touch that mess.

Dynaman Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) So, from what I gather, this entire movie is just a bunch of random bits from other movies thrown together? Edited February 15, 2018 by Dynaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vepariga Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I have a feeling this movie will be just like watching a videogame cutscene. Lots of flash and big set pieces but empty and hollow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB0 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I remember that game. I also remember the truck it wvs based on. And the Power Wheels version of that truck. I was sad when I found out there's still a Bigfoot, but it ain't blue anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynaman Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Seems to be making the same mistake as other dystopian films. The "bad guys" are not going to try and take away the latest "opium of the people" but would instead find ways of using it to exploit. Then again it is hard to say, maybe they are fighting to get people to take off the VR stuff and go see what a hell hole the world is turning into.
