It's like James Bond mixed with Interstellar. Then I guess throw in some global destruction for extra flair.

Looks like it might be good. Not the best trailer though, and Liv Tyler ruins shit for me more often than not.

The director did The Lost City of Z though which was fucking fantastic.

Liv Tyler is just the worst. I hate her face.

Brad Pitt is just the best, I will watch just about any movie he is in. I will say that it makes me a little sad that he is looking old in this trailer - which means I am getting old too.

Anyway, there are not enough serious sci-fi movies so any chance that another may be decent is a plus in my book. Will definitely watch in spite of old Horse Face.

Holy shit, a new story out of Hollywood? I'm going to go just because it isn't a remake, reimagine, or fucking sequel.

Agree. Not the best trailer. Interstellar’s trailer got me so pumped and it looked so ambitious. I hope this movie is awesome. Brad Pitt is just so fucking good I really enjoy almost everything he’s done.

Have this feeling they'll either nail it or it'll fall flat after the reveal.

This, the movie looks great but it also has that feel of an incredible package that contains very little of worth. I will watch this, most likely, and agree that it looks like it will either be "...wow..." or it will be "...m'eh"

Riddle me this... If this movie is good, why are they releasing it in September and not November/December?

Hoping this is better than Interstellar. Didn't care for that movie, it had some interesting moments but it wasn't good. Usually like Nolan's stuff.

The visuals and soundtrack in Intersteller were great... but the little girl having an annoying old mans name sucked.
