Weird, I wonder if they are going to keep it introspective, or whether they are actually just doing a ploy to get human over to the other planet and "serve man?"

Smells a whole lot like Gattaca. (1997) Heavy on introspection, light on the effects budget.

I wonder if she has to dress up in a 3-piece suit before she boards the rocket ship.

Anyone else notice they have used exactly the same picture of the 2nd earth in every shot? Look at the clouds, its obviously the Apollo 17 shot which is famous for being the first full image of earth ever taken. Look it up on Google Images.

I hope they change it before the full release because I find it quite distracting now I've noticed. Something tells me its a bit late now though.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

So true. I'm tired of Hollywood butchering my favorite genre.

For every one "Moon" there are about 10 "Battle: Los Angeles". They don't even deserve to be in the same category. They need a new word like "Dumb-Fi" to describe them.

Sign me up for any sci-fi that doesn't include the cliched malevolent alien.

as much as I havnt carred for alot of the sci fi in hollywood these days, this one clearly lacks any science part of sci fi and thus, sucks. If you like emo drama, be my guest.

That'd be funny if you found out that the planet was really just an alien spaceship and the people they flew to it were used as food.

The plot necessitates most of the drama occurring on the first earth. This trailer shows that is also the case. The trailer also shows us the entire movie...and I hate that. She kills somebody, tries to make up for it, the earth thing happens, she gets to go, isn't sure about leaving, some drama will go down and the climax of the film will be her decision to leave or stay...

I'm not goanna pay for it, but I'll rip it

Paybacksays...

1) She's crazy/in a coma. No second planet.
2) It's some sort of cosmic mirage. Light can be shared, but not matter. Might explain why there's no gravity-related effects (like in 2012 but for realistic reasons) in the trailer.
3) The actual story is 100% about her inner guilt. She decides not to go and the movie ends.

#1 or 2 type movie? I can handle that. I would even say I would prefer #2.

#3 movies piss me off. I mean, it would be just fine if they changed going to Earth2 over to maybe her dream job, somewhere in Europe or something, that she had spent her life preparing for. None of a #3 kind of movie needs to be in SciFi at all. Gattaca HAD to be SciFi, as it was commenting on genetic manipulation. If we don't get any spacy stuff in this movie, I'll be pissed.




EDIT: I would be satisfied with her getting over there, and finding out her double still killed that guy's family. Which then causes her to lose it, feeling double the guilt, or releases her, as it was obviously unavoidable.

Curse you for giving away the (possible) endings!

Well, she would, but unfortunately her shuttle collides with another shuttle traveling from Earth2 after her alternate self wins the same contest.

I had a dream about this movie once...

Oceanic Flight 815, en route to Earth 2, crash lands on a desert planet infested with giant sand worms and zombies. In an attempt to get home, the survivors encounter Jeffrey Sinclair on board a space station caught in a time rift, who reveals that he has been chasing Q who is commanding an army of half-Scarran, half-Sylons with Goa'uld symbiotes to conquer a magical island in Neverland. And the only one who can save the universe is Jim Raynor, captain of a stolen Firefly, and his life partner, a half Wookie, half Time Lord who has sworn a life debt to the captain. They have a depressed robot sex slave who isn't attracted to them and each of them owns a power ring, bestowed to them by the Guardians of the Universe (who are all dwarves, except for one of them who is Tom Waits).

You don't even want to know who the crew of the Firefly is. It will blow your fucking mind. Ok, I'll tell you: Napoleon, Socrates, Sigmund Fruuud, Billy the Kid, Genghis Kahn, and Ludwig Van; then for some reason Whoopie Goldberg is there with William Shatner, Patrick Stewart, and Malcolm McDowell, who can't stop pining over Beethoven. At the end of the movie, the crew is clean cut, the robots are all shiny, and the ghosts of Bill Hicks, Rufus, Obi-wan, Pizza the Hut, Dr. Frankenfurter, and Alf are all sitting around waiting for you to wake up -- but, when you wake up -- you're Homer Simpson! OMG don't tell ANYONE about the twist ending or the sequel where he meets Hank Hill who gets abducted by aliens and meets spooky Fox Mulder and that sexy redhead Leeloo.

My mind is exploding! There may be another me who isn't as awesome as the real me and enjoyed the movie The Notebook... Pshhhhhh -- Frell the frack off. Every alternate reality of me smokes pot and makes or plays video games. Stop trying to change me, universe!
