Summer SciFi Thread

Another trailer/preview video shows Godzilla being approached by the flying monster, while Watanabe appears to think they will fight. I hope this was a false hope, cause otherwise it does not make sense to release that bit as well. Besides, the flying monster is a lot smaller than Godzilla.
 
RE: Divergant. I'm not surprised people didn't like it. I found the trailer boring!

The epic action of "Edge of Tomorrow" unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world. Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop-forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again...and again. But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.

Spoiler :
I suppose Tom Cruise haters might enjoy seeing him die repeatedly.
 
Cruise is Cage :yup:

;)

Hm, well, i was not aware it would be a time-loop or experiment-like plot. Still i am unlikely to watch it (despite having said that i liked him in Oblivion).

Four years after the invasion of Chicago, a mechanic and his daughter make a discovery of Optimus Prime, which brings down the Autobots, Decepticons, and a paranoid government agency upon them that interrupts their quiet life.

Trailer

Spoiler :
Dinobots - it's about damn time!
 
But the dinobots were nowhere near as larger than the average autobot/decepticon as that thing in the poster :(

Besides, my favorite were those infested swamp insect-bots :)
 
It is not really true to the series to have Grimlock (the dinobot leader, who had the personality of simultaneously a megalomaniac and a very low-iq person) to allow some autobot/other robot to ride on his back. He was more of the murderous goon kind of robot :)

Well, saw it this afternoon. It was everything I hoped for. Highly recommended.

Spoiler :
Godzilla is the "good" monster. There are a couple of bad monsters who like to wreck our cities and we're powerless (they have EMP:crazyeye:) to stop them. They eat atomic bombs and the military kindly delivers. Godzilla saves San Francisco. Though Vegas is wrecked.

Oh yeah, the HALO is the hero human and a Special Forces team going in to defuse the nuke in the bad monster's nest in downtown San Fran. That doesn't go so well.:sad:

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial meets Super 8

Spoiler :
Super 8 was not a found footage film. It was a story about making a movie. Or is this supposed to run more smoothly than most "shaky' video?

Spoiler :
Super-8 was also the name for home movie film from the 50s up until video camcorders took over in the 80s.
 
What was I thinking...:crazyeye:

Spoiler :
Kids, making their own video, of ET.
 
Not crazy and may fit in some universe. I never said it was wrong, just an interesting connection.

Spoiler :
Super 8, may have been more interesting if they had changed the topic of their filming. Or maybe not. IMO Super 8 was about meeting ET.
