The trailer doesn't exactly look great for some reason

 

 

 

Samwell and Halle Berry are going to fight the moon but Scorsese will say it's not cinema!?!?!?! 

[Valonqar]

Well, I laughed. It looks like a parody of disaster genre and that they act with 100% straight face makes it totally hilarious.

The 2022 Oscar thread is going to be a bore considering this will be the wire to wire favorite for Best Picture

[CJohn]

Looks like absolute trash that I will love.

[Lucas]

This is gonna be the worst thing ever made. I can't wait.

[Morieris]

It's stupid and OTT, which means it's fine by me.

[marveldcfox]

Looks like a mishmash of all of Roland's disaster porn movies.

[Elessar]

If you fancy a good disaster movie, watch Greenland. That one was very solid, indeed.

[Krissykins]

Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson get me interested. 
 

Looks like the kind of thing that will do well internationally. I’m in for disaster porn fun.

Greenland didn't go into enough of the disaster unfortunately. Was way too much of a character piece for a Gerard Butler movie.

That Trailer was awful, the movie is going to be utter trash.... I'm in, day one.

They obviously didn't have the budget. I think it was to the film's advantage, though.

Emmerich is at it again lol

 

He doesn't seem to get tired of disaster movies...

He tried branching out, but no nobody wanted literary conspiracies or measured accounts of history from Emmerich (The Patriot was a long time ago). Even his "Die Hard at the White House" attempt underperformed compared to the B-version that came out the same year. Might as well stick to his specialty of hilariously stupid doomsday movies...

White House Down was better too, so that was a bummer. 

 

This is what Emmerich does. He's an auteur.

IDR is one of the worst summer blockbusters ever. Everything in that felt so flat and boring. Nothing clicked. Nothing. Even Godzilla 1998 had some moments.

I liked Midway, but I cannot forgive Emmerich for IDR. He ruined that franchise completely. Can't even enjoy ID now. Will Smith should have been part of IDR. Would have given some valuable inputs and been another 800+M hit.

 

I don't put all the blame for IDR on Emmerich -- it's all about the script/story.  I can't blame him for delivering a lackluster endeavor when they clearly weren't inspired by the script.  It's everyone's fault, all who chose to go ahead with it.

Lionsgate didn't spend on production. Some bank financed the movie, I think. 

This is the reality for 50% or more of most major Hollywood productions, these days -- hedge fund and international investment has really kept Hollywood's blockbusters alive (not all to good benefit, though...see above).
