Better Not Suck: SKYLINE, Aliens have Converted Dyson’s Bagless-Technology into Human-Sucking Motherships. Uh Oh.

Posted by mistergroonk in Movies, One Sheets, Trailers on November 12, 2010

Official Synopsis

After a night of partying, a group of friends are distracted when beams of light awaken everyone in Los Angeles, that then attract every person like a moth to a flame. As the night progresses, they soon discover that once exposed to the light, they vanish into thin air, caused by extraterrestrial forces that later threaten to swallow the entire human species.

What We Learned: Somebody must have put the kibosh on using scientist Stephen Hawking‘s theories on alien civilizations as a clever marketing campaign. Canon: gets the clearest pictures of what our future alien overlords want to do with us. Fast cars won’t outrun the alien apocalypse. Don’t go into the light, Clarice.

Why We’ll Watch: You may or may not have noticed, faithful reader, that there are some creative projects on which we’re not sure how the final product will play out. Sure that trailer, concept art, or plot synopsis looks good but did that goodness translate into the finished piece? We’ve surreptitiously marked such posts with the tag ‘better not suck.’

From the SKYLINE trailer we perceive three possibilities.
1) It’ll be a fun, romp and stomp us against them action piece.
2) It’s a treatise on the effects of the “limelight” on large swaths of humanity. Bear with us on this. SKYLINE’s focus is on L.A. The hometown of super stardom. The Hollywood Machine(aliens) hovers down and selects(abducts) the precious few to become part of their special collective.
3) It’ll suck.

We’re hoping it’s the first choice. The second choice we’ll leave for our thesis paper.

When’s it coming? November 12, 2010. That’s right. Today!

International Trailer for BATTLE:LOS ANGELES Awesomer than US Version, Teases with Story

Posted by mistergroonk in Movies, One Sheets, Trailers on November 12, 2010

Official Synopsis

For years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world – Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, China. But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces. As people everywhere watch the world’s great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected. It’s up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they’ve ever encountered before.

What We Learned: Aliens have been watching/testing us for decades. They’ve judged us weak. Now they’ve come to collect whatever it is aliens want from a human infested planet.

Why We’ll Watch: We were doing our damndest to wait to talk about BATTLE:LOS ANGELES. The entire movie Internet has been chattering through our Twitters all morning about the short teaser. It was easy to ignore until Collider hit us with the international trailer provided by Omelete.

For once, the traditional approach to movie trailers wins out over some avant garde direction. This is a trailer in which we can sink our eye-teeth. There’s a quick skim of the plot. There’s actual dialogue. There’s some explanation on why Los Angeles is so damn important to become the title of the film.

Although we remain weary of any film that features L.A. as the last line of defense against our future alien overlords.*
