Trailer, Scifi | featured news

With District 9, writer/director Neill Blomkamp made us want to believe that satisfyingly smart sci-fi could make money at the box office. Now, with the first trailer for Elysium, he's making us think his last film's success may have only been the beginning.

Beloved as they are, the Star Trek movies aren't exactly known for being action-packed -- but it looks like that's about to change in a big way. The new one-minute teaser for Star Trek Into Darkness has arrived, and it promises the sort of epic, wall-to-wall action/adventure that the franchise has traditionally forsaken in favor of a more cerebral approach to sci-fi -- as well as one of the nastiest villains any Trek movie's ever seen.

Now that the trailer is out for Dredd, I think there's enough footage of the movie to safely pass judgment on the movie regardless of what director Pete Travis and writer Alex Garland may have suggested in their joint statement about withholding it until seeing the finished product in its entirety. Check it out below.

As promised, the new trailer for Prometheus is here. Check it out below. The previous teasers and trailers mostly shows what happened on the alien planet when the crew of the Prometheus got there, but the new trailer actually shows some footage of what occurred on Earth before they head out to the great unknown.

A new Promotheus trailer is coming out March 17th 4 pm PST, so, per usual, Fox wants us to know about it with a teaser. There are some new footage included in this teaser, which shows mostly what happens when the crew of the Prometheus reached their destination. And they're all bad: acid attacks, explosions, sand storms, and structural unsound buildings.

A second trailer for Wrath of the Titans is out today and seeing this has revealed to me why the John Carter trailers have failed. Let's start with the main character. Perseus is half-god but that doesn't mean things will be easy for him. Those Titans he's up against look like a handful and he will need no small amount of luck to win some of those battles.

Battleship was the first movie trailer out of the gate during Super Bowl 46 but it sets the bar high from the get go. At 1 minute long, the Battleship trailer transformed me from a skeptic into a believer. The movie has transforming robots (and who doesn't like transforming robots?), alien creatures, and promises of mass mayhem all in the name of entertainment. Earth's only hope against these alien invaders and superior technology is this lone battleship and her crew somewhere out in the big blue sea.

The new trailer for John Carter premiered on ABC's "Good Morning America" this morning and the channel has put the trailer online as how it aired on the program. You can watch it below and we'll update the trailer when the official version comes online.

Yes, The Avengers movie is an actual, real thing! And now you can watch the first official trailer for some proof.

Remember getting yelled at by the teacher? Not the horrible, bitter old one that everyone hated, but by the really cool, good-looking teacher that everyone liked and tried to impress. That’s kind of how it feels getting scolded by Optimus Prime.
