It has been quite a long time since I’ve watched a bunch of trailers and reacted to them, but since I had a bad day at work, now seems like a good time to try and distract myself from it all. So, for your pleasure, the first Insomniac Trailer Reactions of the Hive era.
As They Made Us
OK… It is nice to see Dustin Hoffman again and I don’t, generally, have a problem with the movie that appears to be, blatantly, designed to tug at heartstrings, etc., etc.. This, however, does not feel right somehow.
Senior Year
Uhhh… hmmm… huh.
Top Gun: Maverick
The original Top Gun came out in 1985. I saw it on an IMAX screen, one of the first such screens, in Toronto at about age 10 or 11. Revisiting the film, the nostalgia of that first screening does not hold up. The action sequences are cool but the rest of the film does not work for me. This film, coming out 37 years later, seems to be the same tropes in play is that first. In this trailer, the action sequences look pretty cool but I do not think that I will enjoy the rest.
All right, that’s it for now.
