Movie Trailer Tuesday - 4/14/15

Aloft
Directed by Claudia Llosa
Starring Jennifer Connelly, Cillian Murphy, Mélanie Laurent and Oona Chaplin
A struggling mother encounters the son she abandoned 20 years earlier.


I love this trailer. It plays like a beautiful montage with the poetic dialogue overlaying the incredibly soundtrack. While this movie definitely intrigues me, the ratings have been hit or miss. Maybe this will be one of those movies that half of the audience hates and the other half loves. "Aloft" does not have an expanded release date yet. But it does hit the Tribeca Film Festival on April 24th.



Survivor
Directed by James McTeigue
Starring Milla Jovovich, Pierce Brosnan, Emma Thompson and Dylan McDermott
A Foreign Service Officer in London tries to prevent a terrorist attack set to hit New York, but is forced to go on the run when she is framed for crimes she did not commit.


This just seems to be a standard action movie. It'll probably be fun, but without much substance. I am excited that "V for Vendetta" director, James McTeigue is taking the wheel with this though. It'll be a fun show at the movies. "Survivor" hits theaters May 29th.



Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon
Starring Olivia Cooke, Thomas Mann, RJ Cyler and Nick Offerman
A teenage filmmaker befriends a classmate with cancer and sets off to make a film for her.


My God this looks fantastic. It's like "Fault in Our Stars" but with normal kids rather than annoying pretentious teenagers. I feel the filmmaking aspect of it is going to bring a lot of nostalgia for me. I'm looking forward seeing this on June 12th.



Terminator Genisys
Directed by Alan Taylor
Starring Arnold Schwartzenegger, Jai Courtney, Emilia Clarke and Jason Clarke
After finding himself in a new time-line, Kyle Reese teams up with John Connor's mother Sarah and an aging terminator to try and stop the one thing that the future fears, "Judgement Day".


HOLY FRICKIN' SPOILER BATMAN! Well, they just got rid of any emotional impact of finding out that John Connor has been turned into a Terminator. What I don't understand is why did they feel the need to expand on what the plot was? It's Terminator! People will see it regardless of what the plot is. And now they ruined the shock of finding out what's going on. "Terminator Genisys" hits theaters July 1st.



Ant-Man
Directed by Peyton Reed
Starring Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas and Hayley Atwell
Armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.


Ugh… All these movies are beginning to look exactly the same. They feel so formulaic. Don't get me wrong. I'll see it! But I won't be waiting for this one. It's just beginning to feel like I've seen the same movie 1,000 times. "Ant-Man" hits theaters July 17th.
