I don't know about anybody else, but the bit where the little kid was talking about his mother dead, wasn't emotional at all. I wish it had, because this could have been a very emotional story of a post-apocalyptic alien infested world. But it just never. Other than that...it looks okay...but not great. Still give a look when it comes out though.
This was a much better preview than the earlier one for me! Maybe since it had less of the aliens themselves. I hope the story is as good as Taken was and the action does not detract from it.
IMHO, the hand held shaky cam / jittery action shots STINK. I can't STAND video vandalism. Making action TV into ugly radio is not entertainment. I will have to PASS on this dreck.Why oh why do the producers / directors / camera people think that hand held shaky cam jerky image jump cut swooping zooms never settling imagery is ENTERTAINING?
I know that this fad will pass - hopefully before the end of the 21st century. Devolving HDTV into bad radio is not going to garner a growing audience. I didn't invest in a HTPC and HDTV projection system to be irritated by unwatchable programming.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
