Movie Trailers
Dec. 14th, 2015 01:38 pmI've seen the first trailers for Independence Day: Resurgence and Star Trek: Beyond.
The former gets the "high spectacle" vote from me, but the latter? I don't know yet. The characters I know from the last two installments of that version seem pretty much in character, of course, but I didn't see enough to really get a feel for wherever it's going.
Back to the former for a moment: I had a look at the tie-in website, warof1996.com as well. Seems to cover most of the questions people were likely to ask about "where has that version of the world gone since those three days", to be sure. One minor disappointment: lack of deep background on each of the cities attacked as identified. We got a number: 108. We got the locations, and someone's certainly going to write up a complete listing of them so that people won't have to mess around with the website interface. And while I understand that to dig into that level of detail would likely take a couple of hardcover novels or a few seasons' worth of TV...ah well.
Chalk all of that up as being in the "nice to have" column, I suppose.
