Hmm. Felt more like a car commercial than a trailer for a film. The Yeagers seem less imposing in that clip and more like Transformers in the way they move. Looks like less money was spent on the Yeager special effects.

Have to wait for more trailers, but just not feeling it with this one.

It's not really a trailer, more of a promotional piece. Probably designed specifically for Comic-con.

Yeah, that's no teaser, and it tells me next to nothing about the movie,

I liked it, for what it was. It felt like a "Join Army" ad that might play in that alternate US / Earth future.

At first glance, it's too much like Transformers for me.

Yeah, I'm not feeling it all. It looks like they amped up the bad aspects of del Toro's film (which I love) and gave things a Michael Bay shine. Bummer.

I am very excited.

Giant Robots fighting Alien Godzillas. And now Giant Robots fighting Giant Robots!

I’m seeing the fallout from the first movie, which is good.
I don’t see that clear sense of size that was such a revelation in the first movie, which might be a sign of weakness. The cast looks changed and younger, but I’m not ready to make anything of that yet.

I’ve watched the trailer twice, and I love it.

I haven’t followed the production of PR2. I didn’t know that del Toro wasn’t directing. That puts a crack in my confidence.

I saw a trailer before Jumanji last weekend, and wasn't really feeling it. As others have said, it looks more like a Transformers sequel.

The original yeagers from PR were very industrial. You got a sense they were true, manufactured machines. The parts had the same speed and physical properties of real machines like cranes, but faster. Moving those huge arms and legs required a lot of power, and the yeagers were not fast.

This film has none of the gritty industrial feel to it. The yeagers look like shiny toys that are not bound by the physics of massive machines as much as the previous film.

Maybe some will like this new look and feel, but I'm not feeling it either. Hard pass for me.

You do realize that the whole notion of these giant machines and giant monsters is not realistic physics to begin with, yes?

I'm comparing my perception of how the yeagers behaved in the first movie, vs what the trailer is showing us. It seems to be a change - at least to me.

But thanks for the reminder that none of it is real. I guess I completely forgot that it's just a movie and everything is pretend.

The latest trailer makes a great reveal which is unfortunate, but, I'll still see it with MP.

 

[Sam Posten]

Saw it in IMAX 3D. First 3d movie for me in years. Solid popcorn muncher. It's a b- or better. I liked the first one even better tho =)

 

[steve jaros]

Seeing this in "IMAX" 3D today, liked the first one so am looking forward to this.

I saw it today, I was entertained, but I won't be seeing it again with MP or disc.
