New Movie Trailers To Get You All Jazzed Up

I love a good movie trailer. It really is an art form. There has to be just enough of the plot to get the viewer interested, but too much and there’s no sense in going to the actual film.

Pacing is really important too. Cutting the clips together perfectly, with the right music and sound-bites can really affect ticket sales*.

Here are a few recent trailers that I think meet the above criteria. I’m getting excited for the start of the “real” movie season, now that the studio dumping ground of January-March is over.

Arnold Schwarzenegger having to save his infected daughter from what looks like a zombie virus? Showing some acting range? Um, yes please.

The film also seems to show a more realistic (perhaps) view of how an infection like that would take place.

Michael Fassbender is usually excellent, and this looks like a more humorous take on a Western, which is always welcome. It also stars Kodi Smit-McPhee, who you may remember from The Road. Not me though. I can’t read that book AND watch a movie about it, what am I, a sadist?

I know, I know. Tom Cruise. All that baggage. This is like the 18th movie in the franchise. Plus, the title is so dumb.

But the last Mission: Impossible was actually really good. The Burj Khalifa scene alone is enough to recommend it. And this new trailer is BANANAS. I mean, LOOK AT THAT LAST SHOT. And apparently Cruise does, like, all of the stunts, so give the man some credit.

If you want to see more of that plane scene, and how Cruise did it, check out this link. But aye, be warned. There be spoilers afoot.

There you have it! Just a few films to look forward to this year. And I didn’t even bring up that whole comic book thing.

*I have absolutely no proof of this, it’s just something I believe in, like the Easter Bunny, or that the perfect pair of jeans exists.
