Here we have a peek at the coming Apocalypse — no, not the Zombie Apocalypse we watch every week on THE WALKING DEAD — this is Apocalypse, the mutant, the Big Bad in the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse movie.
Director Bryan Singer posted this image to his Instagram and captioned it:

Remember that mind-blowingly cool trailer for the Wachowski siblings‘ latest wild sci-fi ride, Jupiter Ascending? Well now we have another trailer for the intergalactic chase film starring Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum.
This version of Lana and Andy Wachowski film feels very different from the first trailer; in this one, Mila’s Jupiter feels very much like a lovely victim swept along by events and “rescued” by handsome hero, rather than the kick-ass gal we saw in the first film. Also, it appears that maybe she’s not playing two roles, but rather Jupiter before and after accepting her royal destiny.
In any event, it looks like a pretty good summer popcorn film to me.
You have to admit that the trailer for the Wachowski siblings’ latest, Jupiter Ascending, looks really terrific and amazing and epic and all that — but then again, Cloud Atlas looked like it was going to be great, and look how that hideous, incomprehensible mess turned out. Or, better yet, don’t.
While I do like that the gorgeous Mila Kunis is in this movie, I don’t like her playing two different roles, á la Cloud Atlas; but at least not everyone is pulling double duty. And while the overrated Halle Berry isn’t in this, the overestimated Channing Tatum is — but it looks like he can let those pointy ears do all the acting for him here.
And, finally, points to Andy and Lana Wachowski for calling it Jupiter Ascending rather than Jupiter Rises or The Rise of Jupiter or Rising Jupiter…
The first movie in the live-action G.I. Joe series, 2009’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, was a piece of shite that made little to no sense; even the explosions were silly, and the visual effects, weak. It was easily one of the worst films of the year. However, as this trailer suggests, the sequel, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, looks much improved. Only Channing Tatum returns from the cast of the first movie, and all the other characters are killed offscreen in the opening sequence that sets up the premise of this movie: The Joes want revenge. This movie wasn’t even on my radar until I saw a couple of short clips of Bruce Willis… being Bruce Willis, and then I was intrigued. Now, after seeing this trailer, the movie has creeped onto my “will see” list. This clip sets it up pretty well. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson takes over as the lead hero, and Willis plays… well, a guy named Joe. His laugh line in this clip seems to be worth the price of admission itself. http://youtu.be/kNUBV9trDoA Continue reading
