Andrew: Hello readers! Today we have a very special treat for you - a new feature! And we're actually going to try and make this a regular feature, as in once a week! We know!
We're simply calling it Trailer Talk because we're
super original. In this feature we'll take a look at a few new trailers that have been
recently released and give some fresh takes on them - what we liked, what we didn't
like, what we saw, etc. And then we'll grade each of them old-school style with
actual grades. Pretty simple, but we're looking forward to doing it on a weekly basis. Let's get started with the big trailer that came out this week.
X-Men: Days of Future Past
X-Men: Days of Future Past
A: Okay Sarah, I'll kick things off. First and foremost
SENTINELS! The big antagonistic conflict in the film is that a military
scientist named Bolivar Trask creates these robots called Sentinels for the
express purpose of hunting down mutants. We didn't really see them in the
teaser trailer but they're all over the place in this one. Heck, it looks like
Halle Berry's Storm might get killed by one right from the get-go!
S:
Yeah this trailer was awesome sauce. When the first trailer came out, I was
excited but there wasn't anything new, It really just felt like a logical,
methodic step to follow First Class. BUT, then this second one
aired. And, WOWZA! Totally new and exciting! I mean, it opens with a totally
destroyed NYC and a very sci-fi feel.
