My youngest child has already watched the SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 trailer three times. He is, in fact, watching it now. I will be intimately familiar with this trailer by the time December rolls around. It is my destiny.
Besides, the movies aren’t awful. They’re for kids, but they’re not awful. And Jim Carrey does do a good Dr. Robotnik.
Or possibly don’t watch it at all? TERMINATOR ZERO has the advantage of being anime, so at least it’s a different installment of the Terminator franchise. Alas, it has the disadvantage of being… another installment of the Terminator franchise. Maybe we should stop trying to make this IP pop, folks. You got two movies out of it. Be grateful for what you have.
It also looks like THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM has squeezed a lot more juice out of the source material than THE RINGS OF POWER could be bothered to. I am an absolute sucker for Rohirrim-related stuff, and I will totally see this in theaters. And, shoot, even the Mûmakil are defensible additions.
This drives me nuts, too.
…Damn. Now I want to go watch THE CROW again. It’s a great flick. I don’t think Honest Trailers really disagrees with me on that, either.

The real one was highly disappointing, if you like disaster porn. The results weren’t so bad if you prefer to live in a digital industrial society, mind you. Which, honestly, I pretty much do.
Still, this might be good. Also: bloody as all get-out, which you want to see in a machines-go-amuck horror flick.
Somebody in comments asked how is it he had never seen this before. …I share that befuddlement. It can’t be because the movie was unpopular, because, you know, THE DARK KNIGHT. One billion dollar grosses, two Academy Awards (including one of the ‘respectable’ ones), everybody loved it. So why didn’t this get seen more widely? I’m sure the reason is interesting.

As I said before: TRANSFORMERS ONE doesn’t… look… entirely bad? It absolutely doesn’t look like a Michael Bay movie, which is frankly a plus in this context. The aesthetic is more along the lines of something I actually might want to watch. But that’s a personal decision, sure. I don’t trust most movies until opening night these days, either.
Short version: my biggest problem with it was that the animation felt a little too stilted. But the Harvey Dent stuff? Primo.
