Awful poster! Looks like straight to dvd. Not even blu-ray.

And the "We FIght Back" line is swiped directly from the Indepdence Day Campaign.

That was my thought;they were using every single Alien Invasion Sci Fi Cliche they could find in this movie.

And based on another one of the endless chain of YA novels we have been getting lately.

And look at the date of release Jan.15th. Classic Dumping date.

Anybody know what they spent on this?

 

This however could be something original or even special (I know diff genre but some similar themes in the movie :

 

MIDNIGHT SPECIAL (Michael Shannon, Adam Driver, Sam Shepard)

Got the trailer at Mockingjay. Looks painfully generic.

Trailer played in front of Victor Frankenstein. Looks interesting, much better than the other godawful trailers that played (Forest, Pride & Zombies or whatever)

They need to push at least 6 months away from Star Wars.

This looks like absolute shit

A lot of people in my school have read the book and they all think it's really good. This is certainly no new Maze Runner or anything but I think it'll lose very little money  unless the budget is ridiculous and over 60M or something.

It's the kind of movie that will be directly affected by the tsunami of SW.  I'm reading the book now and it is decent, but in the end it's just another YA story.

Star Wars is just another silly space movie, what's your point?

At least the dystopian variety will. I'll always hold out hope for a return to the zany '80s style coming-of-age YA movies.

I agree with you, I should have added the dystopian part.

You have Maze Runner, Divergent and 5th Wave the next two years.  Don't know if there will be 6th or 7th wave.

Which is why these trailers are disappointing me. This story has the potential to be less traditional YA and more straight-up sci-fi adventure, just with a teenage protagonist. But the movie looks as generic YA as you can get.
