The latest trailer looked pretty good. But I think I’ll wait for the DVD since we spent our movie budget money on Jurassic Park IMAX 3D. It was so worth it.
I’m looking forward to it.
Indeed. One other thing is that nobody has ever complained about working with them. The project comes in under budget and in time. Lot's of respect here.
Ah well, sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you :)
That’s what the local gamblers say, here in the Vegas Valley...;o]
I love Gibson's movies as well.
I haven’t seen Valkyrie, but if I can watch it without paying for it, I will do so. Thanks for the info.

For Gibson, I loved his recent movie Get the Gringo. Really funny. Even does an imitation of Clint Eastwood directing a movie. Hilarious!
Re Gibson, The Imaginationland South Park episode has a scene where the military is trying to get help from Hollywood in conquering monsters coming from our collective imagination. They bring in several directors to help. First M Night Shyamalan, then Michael Bay and finally Mel Gibson.

I sort of like the first one the best. It was (to me) the closest thing to the original concept. Kept us guessing.
When it comes to Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman, I am made entirely of snot from head to toe.
But thank you, I do appreciate the answer regarding Glowbull Warming, because I really hate Glowbull Warming movies.
Knowing that it’s not one of those, there is a chance that I’ll watch this, because I really do like sci fi movies.
I’ll likely wait until it comes to PPV though.
Time of your life, eh, kid ?
It’s a much more serious movie than usual Tom Cruise fare. One of the problems with being an “action adventure hero” is, of course, that you get old eventually :) I think a lot of people were expecting that Valkyrie would be the start of his transition to more staid character based roles. Still he’s still turning out the adventure stuff too, so maybe he’s not quite done with that yet.
I saw the movie tonight, I liked it a lot, very strong ending. Both Andrea and Olga are Hawt!!!! I smell an Oscar nomination possibly for Olga.
I do not understand why people are continuing to complain about Cruise. Another conservative themed movie character.
If you like Phillip K Dick, you will like this movie. The Screenwriter must have been a fan, in fact, he bordered on outright theft.
I believe the rifle Cruise carries was stolen from “Starship Troopers”.
Once they go political I can't forget it. I used to love Morgan Freeman, but once he became Morgan if you oppose Obama you are a racist Freeman, he ruined it. I just tune him out now.
I’ve read cracked.com articles on the reuse of props and even whole sets by Hollywood.
I think much of the blowback is not his politics but his Scientology and how he has employed it to oppress women. He threw away a beautiful Mimi Rogers because she was too old, broke up with equally beautiful Nichole Kidman and Katie Holmes because they wouldn't go "full scientology."
I love sci-fi, so I’m very pleased that you liked this movie, although I’ll probably have to wait until I can buy a copy and watch it at home. Still, it will give me something to look forward to.
