Ok, that looked awesome. The VFX are probably not finished yet, but the pixel-art video games combined with live action works well. And they smartly kept the Adam Sandler movie jokes out of the trailer and let the trailer coast on arcade game nostalgia - smart decision.

Wait wasn't this supposed to be a comedy?

It seems to be an action comedy.

Makes sense. It's just that the trailer is unusually played more serious then an Adam Sandler comedy movie trailer usually is.

 

You know what, I think I kind of enjoyed it because of that.

Could be Sony's biggest hit this summer.

I think they were smart to do that since people are getting tired of his shtick.

That Pac-Man scene at the end was absolute gold.

It was telegraphed as hell, but still awesome, the "He's my son" line delivery was gold.

Agreed. It made me more interested in the film, then a Sandler trailer usually does.

[Alpha]

So this will either be really good or really bad.

[Intensive]

what a great concept! Looks pretty good, actually. Hope the English trailer looks similar!

[Ethan Hunt]

Looks great visually. Past that I don't have much to say.

[grim22]

[Klingo]

That looks interesting.

[antovolk]

^^^^^that above is the proper tailer btw. The Brazil one is a cutdown.

[Blankments]

Yeah, this looks unusual and weird in a maybe good way? I might actually see it.

[dashrendar44]

"Pac-Man's rampage in your neighbourhood, who ya gonna call?"

 

"Pixelbusters!"

[darkelf]

Take out Kevin James and that would have been a very good trailer...

[Jay Beezy]

The sci-fi action elements were way more interesting that the comedy bits.

[Boxx93]

The trailer gave me a Ghostbusters vibe. I kinda like that.

[Avatree]

I thought it was supposed to be a comedy, but no surprises here. No words spoken by Adam Sandler have ever been funny, so he's never technically made a comedy film.

 

 

This looks like utter shit (as expected), and the visuals from the trailer alone were nauseating and made my head hurt. They look awful, which sucks particularly since it had potential to be excellent on a visual level.
