Iron Sky Official Theatrical Trailer

Still waiting US distribution but I can not see this not being released here . You can go to the official website and sign a petition to get it released in this country if you want a voice in this.
Official Web Site Below are the confirmed dates and countries that the movie is going to be released.
11 February 2012 (Berlinale)
4 April 2012 (Finland and the UK)
5 April 2012 (Germany)

I am hugely curious about this film . On their website they have a graph of the budget they used which was 7.5 million euros, big name actors, and aimed at a worldwide theatrical release in 2012. It really is low when you compare it to some films with comparable effects . Read the Press Book info that I copied below the trailer clip and you will see what I mean.

Julia Dietze as Renate Richter
Götz Otto as Klaus Adler
Christopher Kirby as James Washington
Tilo Prückner as Doktor Richter

Journey 2 Review

 

Rating: ★★★★☆

This is a more of visual feast and a very fast paced movie then a cerebral remake of the Jules Verne's Classic the Mysterious Island.  So you have to take it for what it is and not for the Verne's novel. Like the prequel to this movie ( Journey to the Center of the Earth, 2008) Journey 2 takes a creative license and bases the story off a society of Vernians who search out clues from Jules Verne's novels so they can prove them to be a matter of non-fiction not fiction.  And continues on the young adventure  Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson) search for all thing Jules Verne's ( See plot summary below). The movie is intended to be a 3D feast for the eyes. No doubt about that and it delivers. A young and older audience that has that young at heart mentality will completely enoy it. I took my 6 year old and my 13 year old and they both sat riveted to the seat. Something they never do.  Seeing it IMAX also helped but it is not their first go with IMAX either and I have seen them get bored quickly with movies. My take on it  was better then the first movie . Something you rarely see in franchise movies. But to be fair the first movie in the series was a darker film because of the setting.  It was some what in the unbelievable realm with the action which made for excellent action sequences and effects in 3D and it was light hearted. The Rock ( Dwayne Johnson) played his character really well . And legendary Michael Caine playing a wily old  Grand farther with his dry English humor  was fantastic to see. The film had a good balance of all those things you want from a light hearted action flick with Sci Fi influences.  Read more... (1156 words, 6 images, estimated 4:37 mins reading time)

Star Wars Episode 1 3D Review

Rating: ★★★★☆

This one of those movies that is great on its own and would of been fantastic to see in 3D if the 3D was not done so lame. When I say lame I mean it looked like what I get when I use my convert 2D to 3D option on my LG TV with passive glasses (same ones you get in the theaters) which converts High Def or Blu Ray pictures into a quasi 3D . It's really cool but no where like if you put a 3D DVD on and play it. You can tell the difference. The picture is much more vibrant and the 3D effects are extremely sharp and realistic in most cases. That said , I am not saying the 3D experience was a waste of money . I just think that with the pod race and the some of the space scenes they could of done more then do a 2D to 3D conversion on it . They kind of blew it I think if the goal was to to sell more DVD's in the end. I know George Lucas wanted the 3D to be more a background feature instead of an in your face type of experience but like the for mentioned scenes there were opportunities to really exploit the technology to make it a fun like ride experience with out sacrificing other areas of the movie.
That said seeing episode 1 with my kids on the big screen once again was quite enjoyable. It was and still is a solid Star Wars movie to begin with and if you are a geek like I am it is one that you go to see just to enjoy the memory of seeing it on the big screen. I don't know if I would run out and get the 3D version of the DVD when it becomes available they would have to really enhance it with some bonus features to tempt me. Especially when I can hit the 2D to 3D conversion button and get the same results with a Blu Ray version of the movie. So I will give it 4 out of 5 stars . Just because it is a great Sci fi film to start with.  Read more... (397 words, 6 images, estimated 1:35 mins reading time)

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012 film) Trailer

 

Ok I was one of those that had thought it may have been a bad idea to reboot the series . In the back of my mind it was ohhhh no here we go again they are going to rewrite Spider-Man and and it is gonna suck. Well if the trailer is anything what the film is going to be like then I was as wrong as you can get. The trailer has some added little creative licensing like Peters parents and I am guessing a sub plot about them that forges his ideals in some way. But add the fact that we are going to see the lizard as the bad guy and the fact that he no longer is shooting the web out of his wrist like in the last re-imaged versions then you may have a really really good super hero movie.
