Speaking as a CGI geek, those volumetrics

Honestly, that looks incredible.

Finally, the Godzilla movie that should have been made forever ago. Looks like they will actually be treating this pretty damn seriously. Definitely seeing in theaters, as long as I can convince at least one other friend to agree.

That was my first thought. The Ferris Bueller one wasn't terrible, and the old ones were fun-cheesy, but this looks legit!

I can't view this right now until I get home from work (not until first week of January).. but from what I've read around, it looks to be extremely awesome, and was a very impressive trailer.

I have like two months worth of videos and trailers and movies to catch up on once I get home from work.. can't wait.

 

[DesiPower]

It should be called "Godzilla - Fukushima Fallout"

 

[Anubis]

im excited for it, the roar alone assuming its done correctly should be an amazing HT treat

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that the smoke and lighting looked extremely, extremely well done.

Other tidbits that really sell how much of a let-down this will be if it doesn't live up to everything that it should be considering who is all involved - the cast list is great (Bryan Cranston! awesome), Frank Darabont is one of the writers, the production budget is about $160m (can mean nothing, obviously, and they can fail to market it and flop financially - I think that won't happen though).

That does look really good. I dig action/sci fi movies with a serious tone like this.

 

[stag3]

wow they even got the roar pretty close to the original, getting excited

 

[KeithTalent]

They've been filming this around here for ages. I've yet to run into Ms. Olsen though.

You don't get to see Godzilla full on in the trailer but it does kind of look something like the square jaw version from 1998.

The quality of the imagery looks way better than the 1998 version and the trailer has me interested.

I'd like to see some Japanese chime in here as this it there monster and I'd like to know what they think of it. There is a certain charm to the low budget, man-in-suit versions that the Toho Studios produced and I don't think the Japanese were all the happy with the high budget special effects of the 1998 movie.

But, this looks like a must buy BR when it comes out.

Isn't the next Cloverfield due sometime soon as well?

The opening music (vocals) sounds like what you hear when the apes first discover the monolith in 2001.

just watched the trailer over on ign and saw this thread. looks like it's going to be pretty damn badass!

 

[Gunbuster]

HALO jump for no reason, because it looks good on screen!

Lets see here..
1. Couldn't see shit.. I hate obscure crap like that
2. No reason to be diving with red flares except for cinematic effect.. ugh
3. Didn't see the monster except for a bit through fog at the very end
4. Why is everyone fawning over this? There was nothing definitive to like because it was a poorly lit foggy preview with no acting or any redeeming anything.

Given that:
a) it's night
b) it's smoky
c) it's cloudy
4) it's a monster, not an enemy force
5) it's a monster movie

flares for a HALO jump, and the HALO jump in general, are actually somewhat in line. They would appear to be a highly-trained unit - I have a feeling there is more to what they are doing, as opposed to jumping in to fight the monster. They have wimpy firearms (I'm assuming, considering they are limited to what they are carrying on person) going up against a juggernaut the size of skyscrapers... they are probably trying to escort scientists or some politically-important type(s) to safety. Get them in fast and hot, so they can do the mission faster.

Just guessing, probably far off base. However, the big point about the flares is, while not tactically intelligent and probably not common during actual HALO missions (against human threats, mind you), perhaps there's a certain movie logic that actually allows this to make sense: it's dark and smoky with limited distant vision, and all the fire probably makes IR/night vision sort of useless - the flares allow them to keep each other in sight through the thick smoke, and they probably are far less worried about the giant lizard understanding and attacking the falling objects on fire.

Also - it's a damn movie.
Also, they get creative license because actual tactical accuracy tends to be frowned upon by the military if they try and show true military, as opposed to creative sci-fi non-existent armies or anything.

this is just a teaser trailer.

Also, this.


Also - as someone who tends to carefully look at details, cinematography, dialogue, acting, actual scenes playing out, the on-screen logic and plot and whatnot - a lot can be said in very little time. You can't make a teaser of an absolutely shit-tastic movie actually appear to be pure gold. You can, at best, make a terrible movie look "watchable" - but not epic. Too many things will be apparent, just from the mannerisms or cinematography, or from the way a teaser scene fully plays out, that gives a strong indication of true potential for any true fan of cinematography.

If you don't really pay much attention to actual production values, don't connect directors or writers to quality potential, and really ignore most of the movie creation process... and ultimately only consume movies for the entertainment... I can see how that isn't apparent.

Or, if low or high expectations of a movie's quality comes from how close to pure realism it is, which... uh, hate to remind anyone who missed it, but there's a giant fucking lizard roaming around (one who MIGHT just spit fire/lasers). Please suspend all disbelief.
Granted, it's nice to see a realistic approach to an unrealistic situation, and that's exactly what I am hoping to see out of this movie and, from what I've seen, there appears to be some chance of that. Even if the approach isn't politically realistic, I am sure it will be an enjoyable ride, one that absolutely trumps the last Hollywood Godzilla flick (which wasn't terrible at all, I enjoyed it).

 

[Pardus]

cant wait to see it.

Oh, no, they say he's got to go
Go go Godzilla
Oh, no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla

 

[mmntech]

Given how bad the last American attempt at a Godzilla movie was, I'm going into this one with very low expectations. Yeah, the Japanese ones were corny but at least they had charm.
