JohnnyGossamer Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Looks potentially promising. Also looks like the kinda straight to Netflix sci-fi that's utterly forgotten less than a week after release. We'll see. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderByte Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I'm confident the movie will be good and will be received well by critics, probably up for several major awards. I...don't really know how this plays with wider audiences for whom Coppolas name alone isn't enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Coppola hasn't made a good anything in, sheesh, not sure I was born and I'm not all that young anymore. I'd love to be wrong though.

SpiderByte Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I'm surprised they didn't even have like "from the director of The Godfather" at any point. I'm confident the movie will be good, which always helps. But if I hadn't read anything about the story beforehand, and you asked me to explain the plot or premise based on this trailer, I'd have no clue what to say.

Firepower Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) Looks wild, but I can easily see this getting mixed critics reviews, we'll see, I hope it'll get good enough reception and some Cannes award for Coppola's sake. 2 hours ago, JohnnyGossamer said: Also looks like the kinda straight to Netflix sci-fi that's utterly forgotten less than a week after release. How exactly? It looks nothing like an average studio or streaming movie, that's why they didn't want to pick it up.

How exactly? It looks nothing like an average studio or streaming movie, that's why they didn't want to pick it up. Looks like one of those straight to Netflix "high minded" sci-fi flicks that's forgotten in a day after its debut. Gives off the fumes of stuff like Valerian, Mute or, even, those Atlas Shrugged movies. Might suffer the same fate. Talented or once talented filmmakers made those as well. Well, maybe not Atlas Shrugged but the other two. Looks like Deni V. wasn't as gifted and made Blade Runner... So more like the live action Ghost in the Shell... That looked more refined though. Unless they're hiding a lot or the cast was extremely expensive, it actually looks kinda cheap. Overly dark and heavily digitized to hide blemishes. Again, I'd love to be wrong here.

JohnnyGossamer Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Didn't it already screen to potential distributors in LA? If so, I'm not surprised at all if the reaction was muted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderByte Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Yeah distributors didn't know how to sell it, and I can't blame them, because this trailer...doesn't actually tell people anything about what the movie is about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A plot-heavy trailer will come out later, I guess when the US distibutor is found. Edited May 14 by cinema pal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 This is one of my most anticipated films of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) Tree Of Life was also a divisive Cannes release from a long-anticipated master director that plenty of people hated at the time and said was pretentious non-commercial garbage and some said was the great movie of an era. 13 years on, the latter narrative has certainly won out. I'm not saying that this is going to be Tree of Life in terms of quality and long-term reputation, but can absolutely see some parallels.
