Ok I'm saving I Am Legend for when my IMAX gets it for TDK prologue so I appreciate the lack of spoilers for a guy like me who never read the book. For some reason my IMAX isn't showing it yet.

Anyways trailers are a crap shoot at most small to mid level theaters, we didn't get a Cloverfield trailer in front of Transformers but we did get one with Beowulf, and I know some of the guys who put the trailers in front of movies at my local theaters and if they aren't into it you may get it in front of one movie, but if they love it it's in front of every movie.

Just as a mention for people who are seeing the Dark Knight trailer, and may not know... there is a game happening for that movie as well happening right now. I would suggest giving it a look if you are into Batman. I think the Dark Knight game is awesome and 1-18-08 players will enjoy it.

For info check the CF with potential section of this forum, all the Dark Knight threads are labeled [DK]. And here is a link to the wiki guide which can help you catch up.

What I really hate about all the CGI stuff is that they can't help but go too far. Like the roaring humans, they open their mouths so wide they would have to unhinge their jaw. It looks stupid. And then they're so puppety looking when they just zip up and down lightpoles and the faces of buildings like geckos.

I think if it was more like the actual book it would have been a thousand times better.

Saw "I Am Legend" here in Cincinnati. Will Smith was suprisingly very good. Overall pretty good movie. I agree that cgi went a bit too far though.

Cloverfield trailer was shown and I'm embarrased to say... I got cold chills!

Polar Bear

I saw Beowulf in 3D (not IMAX, but REAL3D)
No trailer (they were only trailers in 3D)

Saw I Am Legend the next Night (Saw Beowulf Friday, when I AM LEGEND sold out, and we missed it, but we saw IAL on Sat)

No Cloverfield trailer in either one.

Saw "I Am Legend" yesterday at the Rave in Hoover, AL. The trailer was different with different scenes longer and others not included, one of the main differences I remember (I was drinking) was when rob is on the phone with Beth before it was "Beth, Beth Where are you". In this one you hear her reply, "I'm bleeding I can't move"

They were also promoting their Midnight show on Thursday with free one-time use cameras for x # of people to document their story.

AVP (the first one) was MUCH better than the newest AVP-R. Seems like the creators of this latest one just jumbled together every moment from the films they could think of ad naseum. At least the first AVP had a few good fight scenes and some suspense. In this one, it was so freaking dark and rainy that you couldn't see anything, and the cameras cut away too much when something was on screen. Bad directing...either show it or don't. No new cool gadgets for the Predators either, just the same ol stuff. They broke the biology boundaries of the Aliens too,,,now they incubate and are fully grown within 20 minutes. There were no 'cool' moments or re-watch values and I predict a quick to DVD move for this one...just crap!

The first Alien films really made you 'scared' of the Xenomorphs, and in awe of the Predators, whereas in this film all you felt was the urge to blow them away. A guy next to me literally was asleep for the majority of the film.

'I am Legend' was good, but all the CGI complaints and the poor ecology of the 'darkseekers' is warranted. The movie would have been just as good if the zombie like people were more like those from Heston's 'Omega Man'. Will Smith's movie succeeded mostly in making you feel the bleakness of being alone on the planet.

As for the Cloverfield trailer....seeing it in front of Will Smith's movie, I got the eerie feeling that this movie has suffered from VERY bad screening reviews or something. The advertising spot was more like one of those 'hey this movie's been out already for 5 weeks now, PLEASE go see it'!
