I’m sorry but a vine? >_> Uhm how deadly can this be lol. Like sure it can grow fast and destroy building but unlike animal, it doesn’t response the same way? So the end of the trailer when something seems to be behind Louis, it just felt not exciting/scared/thrill? The trailer is not exciting either 🙁 it doesn’t feel very 2055 >_<
It’s always Pandora when it comes to aliens. Plot sounds atypical hollywood production BUT I will watch it if the effects anything on par. However, it says it stars big stars. From the list I will say it stars the same actors on the HK film list, all over again except Daniel Wu is busy elsewhere.
@funnlim HK/China heck even pan Asia films are nowhere near the quality and imagination of Hollywood when it comes to sci-fi flicks. The special effects are simply not there.
Case in point? The Internal Affairs web series whilst not a major production, it would probably be a lot higher than a regular TVB series. Watch the scene with Damien Lau and his daughter witnessing her mum in the car bombing scene. The overlay with computer special effects is ridiculously obvious.
Hopefully the movie will be nice.
they need to hire someone else to make the trailer. it doesn’t make me want want to watch the movie.
