VIDEO-CLick to Watch!:

So before this trailer, I was pretty sure a lone action movie where Denzel holds the key to the surival of our race was kinda, out there. I mean it is Denzel as much as I love him how is he going to be the one to save humanity. Then I wanted this trailer, sweet jesus this was amazing looking. I can't wait for this.

MasterChief117 · 07-23-2009, 07:50 PM

How can you be soo excited for another Pirates and doubt this movie? Atleast Denzel is creditable.

Jordan KO · 07-23-2009, 07:51 PM

Your an odd character.

Jordan KO · 07-23-2009, 07:56 PM

ill rent both, but really the trailer didnt impress. it looks like Mad Max. ill be seeing Daybreakers instead that weekend

MasterChief117 · 07-23-2009, 08:01 PM

Daybreakers does look good but I think this looks just as good.

Tolkien · 07-23-2009, 11:17 PM

It's weird...

Not the trailer or the film, but the discussion in this thread.

FilmJerk · 07-24-2009, 02:41 AM

Right, unlike Depp...

FranklinTard · 07-24-2009, 01:59 PM

is this someones answer to the road?

casablanca3 · 07-24-2009, 07:18 PM

Denzel and Oldman are great but why is this coming out in January? Did they pick the wrong release date or is the film really that bad? haha.

Tolkien · 07-25-2009, 12:27 AM

Not every film that's released in January bad, you know... Take Cloverfield. Great film.

New trailer, not much extra on show.

IanTheCool · 09-27-2009, 10:33 AM

Its a January release. That doesn't bode well.

Washington and Oldman invovled makes me think it must have some substance though. But man, how many post-apocalyptic films do we need? There's been a lot lately.

MovieBuff801 · 09-27-2009, 04:51 PM

I'll admit my interest for this has piqued a little after the new trailer. Plus, Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman in the same movie seems like something that says this could be good, despite the January release.

FranklinTard · 01-09-2010, 02:53 PM

i know never to trust the ads, but the ads are yelling about all these positive reviews, does anyone know where any of these reviews are?

Tolkien · 01-09-2010, 03:36 PM

I saw the same ad and searched for the reviews but couldn't find any. I wanted to read for myself and see what these people thought. Are they posting bits from unreleased reviews or something?

Ewok Droppings · 01-09-2010, 07:06 PM

I think after watching The Road, these post-apocalyptic movies just won't seem the same.

Justin · 01-09-2010, 07:42 PM

I feel the same way.

Duke-Leto · 01-09-2010, 07:52 PM

I am still really interested in this one, I always enjoy these types of films and seeing how others see civilization ending and mankind struggling to survive. Same with Zombie flicks, how many times can you watch a movie about the dead coming back? Well people always find a way to keep me entertained with those flicks so I am not giving up on this one just yet.

DarthVader 2004 · 01-09-2010, 08:39 PM

I am seeing this and Legion this month and nothing else till Wolfman.

Tolkien · 01-09-2010, 10:16 PM

Dammit am I the only one who hasn't seen The Road or read the book?

Is it really that good?

Duke-Leto · 01-09-2010, 10:33 PM

You are not the only one.

The movie was really good. It's probably more to truth of what an apocalyptic scenario would be like. It's disturbing.

And for Vader - Legion looks like pure crap.
