dudalb Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Trailers are showing up for this on CNN, so The Mouse is spending some money on marketing. The trailers are selling this as a straight up Sci Fi Adventure which from the reviews it is not; always have some concerns over trying to sell a film as something it is not. Bait and Switch seldom works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shayhiri Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Why is no one here talking about the AWESOME Moon Rover Chase scene that leaked and took YouTube by storm?? Everyone there is talking about how great it looks - and it also looks much better than the fake Apollo moon rover reel, but that's because of 50 years of SFX of course. You people disappoint me.

I disagree, the 1969 moon footage still holds up today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the part that holds is because it's all practical effects. They had no CGI technology in the late 1960ies (let alone space travel technology, lol). The director was also a big name. But part of it actually looks laughable, especially by today's standards. What is interesting is they went with a highly fictionalised image of the Moon - it doesn't actually look any way like this* - but this artificial image has substituted the real one, and even Ad Astra uses it now in that scene. * the Chinese rover photos from last year - probably the first real ones - show brown and earthly Moon, not the Apollo silver dusty guesswork.

Wow, I haven't seen those photos before. The moon is brown? Is that maybe not something to do with the torches/lighting on the cameras? It looks pretty silver/grey when I see it in the sky. Anything Kubrick touches is gold dust, just look at the modelwork in 2001. I watched a brand new 70mm print of that last year and it looks utterly authentic.

JB33 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Aaaanyway, I was hoping there'd be more buzz for this. Guess that's what happens with a movie that's been delayed a couple times. Still looks really good though. It'll likely be the last film I see in theatres until Joker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudalb Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) I wonder if the trailers are making it seem a bit too like "Intersteller?". And if someone is really peddling the "Moon Hoax" bullshit, in this thread, I am so out of here.

I’ll do an final sales total around 3pm on Thursday of release, but it’s not big enough for me to actively track I’m afraid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
