Looking forward to this as I enjoyed the first one. Jason Statham is great.

First one was really bad but highly entertaining. Like an old school B movie.

This one looks like more of the same but even more over the top.

I'll definitely check it out when it hits Redbox on Bluray.

My middle son loves the first one go figure, will have to watch this one with him.
Also pretty much same premise as Piranha 3D, ancient untouched eco system gets unleashed, hi-jinxes ensue.

I just saw this trailer last night myself and looking forward to it. Liked the first one and also the Piranha 3D movies. Looks campy but fun.

Geez, looks like 3D crap is coming back. Looks fun tho.

Not a fan of 3D movies as they exist currently .... get back to me when they look even SLIGHTLY realistic AND no longer require anything strapped on/hanging off of my face to view. (same with current tech lame-a$$ "VR" ROTFL... you folks buying this over-priced junk have some low standards!)

3D animation has come a long way from 8-bit color on a 360i CRT but it also still has a long way to go before a trained eye mistakes it for looking out of a window. (or any kind of "reality" beyond "obviously fake")

Having said that, it's interesting to see more "silly" sci-fi movies like this that are designed to make you chuckle instead of trying too hard to be "serious business" and failing miserably. I'm confident they'll turn a profit.

Pretty sure the "I wager on pro-wrestling" crowd will eat them up! ;)

You laugh, but I have a pair of those nvidia 3d glasses out in my garage from a few years back. They provide a pretty damned convincing effect in small screens. I think that's one place where 3d drops the ball, they keep showing 3d people and shit that are like 40' tall with sharks and dinosaurs and spidermen flying at you. You wanna see convincing? Show someone a full FOV mirror's edge with convincing depth, or 3d RTS with models that pop out of the 'game board' (Dawn of War is *chef's kiss*).
