Someday, people will learn what the word free actually means

There's a big difference in getting something for no additional charge after paying a subscription fee and being asked to pay an additional $30 after a $7 (soon $8) subscription fee

It's almost like HBO Max is desperate for subs in a way Disney+ isnt

This is gonna be pretty confusing for Disney+ subscribers I think. How do you expect people to react when you give Soul free and charge $30 for this. Imo $30 rental is fine, I paid for ww84 and other movies but this is the wrong way to do it.

Man despite being 9am (recording this) and we were a bit groggy from waking up we actually are more excited for this film now! This looks pretty darn cool! Here's our reaction and review to the trailer! Enjoy!

Easy, this is an action movie and Soul isn't.

Is it a stretch when it's been explicitly stated by the movies creators and the people who've seen footage of it that it's an action movie? After the last movie released through Premiere Access was also an action movie? Is it really a stretch?

 

There weren't exactly a lot of swordfights happening in Soul.

I have no doubts families will pay just like they did with Mulan, $30 is a fair price when you consider what you pay at a theatre for a family but I think it’s just hard to justify the $30 charge after you gave soul free.
 

This doesn’t really matter to me as I’ll just wait to watch it when it’s free but I can understand the complaints from people, especially people who live on their own. I think $9.99-14.99 would be a better choice for premier access for this.

Well they keep the $30 price probably because Mulan did good numbers afterall

You could be right for sure but we’ll probably never know the truth either way. Apparently the next investors call is a few days after this movie releases so maybe that will give some indication of how this did. 

[SLAM!]

This film looks pretty good, actually.

[Ethan Hunt]

My take is that Raya armadillo is not as cute as Kong punching godzilla

[SpiderByte]

The biggest indication on how well Raya does is if Black Widow also goes to Premiere Access.

[Morieris]

The action looks great but the rest kind of....doesn't?

 

I'm glad Raya is like Mulan 2.0 but the humor is not landing for me.

[The Wild Eric]

 

[DAJK]

Yea looks pretty good! Although I really don't like any of the humour, but maybe the movie itself will be funnier. 

[Yandereprime101189]

I was pretty meh over the teaser but this really won me over.
