HARDCORE HENRY | April 8th, 2016 | First Person Action Movie....with SHARLTO COPLEY!

[BadAtGender]

This feels like something that would make a neat short film, but I can't see it holding together for a full feature narrative.

This could be awesome, but the 1st person looks cheap, like it was shot with Go Pro. And the trailer music has really left a bad impression on me, makes this look goofy rather than some hardcore Stathom-esque action that it looks like its trying to be. As Damien Roc said, Idk if this is a good idea for full length.

That's literally the only way to shoot something like this right now.

And that's what's going to keep a gimmick like this from fully resonating. For a true first-person experience we need to invent camera contact lenses

We need to turn human beings themselves into cameras.

I'm sure MI6 has that tech somewhere

I love the MPAA Rating description  http://www.boxofficemojo.com/schedule/?view=mpaa&p=.htm

 

"Rated R for non-stop bloody brutal violence and mayhem, language throughout, sexual content/nudity and drug use"

This has the trailer passing on the IMAX screen before Deadpool here. It seems like an insane IMAX experience.

BVS will still have IMAX screens but other PLF formats were confirmed in the trailer. This seems like it would be really fun in Atmos.

Well, in Portugal BvS is not locked for 3 weeks, just two

 

Either Hardcore Henry or Cloverfield will get IMAX here on April 7.

This looks fun

The previews for this have left me exhausted. I can't imagine sitting through 90 minutes of this.

I can, but only on a TV screen.

[Blankments]

Got the trailer at Cloverfield. Looks super intriguing but will have to wait for final reviews on it.

[CJohn]

It won't have IMAX here after all apparently

While I still can't buy into the gimmick at the theater, this thing will be a monster hit on the VR's. I may be thinking a little too ambitious here atm, but if its successful on VR, we could see Hollywood push the gimmick out fast like 3D and found footage. A movie like the Raid for instance would be sick on VR, even though it's not in 1st person.

 

Could see more 1st person movies, or movies formatted in 1st person just for the VR. Will be interesting to see if this catches on, of it'll stick mainly niche to video games for a while.

This is a film where I don't care how 'good' it is. The concept alone is worth the price of admission.

 

I want this film to do great because 2016 will be a big year for virtual reality products and I envision films down the road utilizing VR. First person shooter-movies like HH are suited well for VR. If this makes money, studios may seriously consider making similar movies but for VR usage.

I wrote my comment above without seeing that you beat me to the punch! haha

 

I would add that success here could not only spur more VR movies but make VR in and of itself more popular as a platform for other applications. Movies could be the catalyst. No pressure HH!

This could be a mini breakout. The style looks fresh enough and first reviews are very good.
