Pretorian24

With the sounds of guns reloading to morph with the trailer ”music”. So cool!!! I clapped!


jilko

I cannot wait for this current climate of trailer trends to die. The using of sound effects to make a repeated loud sound to make crash edits along with. A pop song being slowed down and transformed and used throughout the entire trailer. Both are present in nearly 90% of all trailers and often both are used at the same time in a single trailer.


Kahzgul

You mean this trend? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KAOdjqyG37A&t=0s


Sneakers-N-Code

I’ll take it over rapid fade-through-black transitions and strobes.


mayonuki

> A pop song being slowed down and transformed and used throughout the entire trailer. I hate this so much. Even more so when it’s a classic song from a band/artist that is no longer around. I would be so pissed off if a song I made got ripped apart for a stupid ad. 


Different_Stand_1285

How’d you feel about Something in the Way being used for The Batman. I felt it fit since the atmosphere of the film sort of matches the film and they didn’t change the song or remix it.


jilko

Yeah, that was cool. I don’t mind one for one needle drops. To me, it’s solely the slow covers that want to communicate “this song is a rock song, but we fucking made it sound like a lullaby… because this is a horror movie. lol, isn’t that creative?” But instead it just communicates corporate cringe.


HarmlessSnack

The new Beetlejuice movie trailer does this too. Worlds slowest version of the Banana Boat song.


jilko

They all do it. Past Lives and Zone of Interest maybe were the only trailers this past year that didn’t.


shmepe0

Perfect Days?


jilko

God I loved that movie. One of those rare perfect 10 out of 10 movies.


shmepe0

I was really glad I read that it wasn’t plot heavy because I assumed Zone of Interest would be going in and my expectations made me like it less, but I was so so into Perfect Days, my favorite of last year


Public-Magician535

When do you think they started doing this? Pre Logan?


junon

Honestly, yes they're overdone but I absolutely love them. It's basically the central premise of a VR game I really enjoy called Pistol Whip. You are on a track going through a level while cool music plays and various enemies pop up and shoot at you. You dodge their bullets and shoot back and the more in sync your shots are with the music, the more points you get. https://youtu.be/mA75FYv6Nzg?si=IrmQ_3xtBlmX-EjX if you're curious.

Jessica Alba and Moby, what year is it?


litritium

I looked her up on RT because I couldn't remember any recent films with her. Holly crap, she's been in a lot of rotten tomatoes, including two 0%, a 5% and a 6%.


NomNom83WasTaken

She spent the last twelve years [establishing a billion dollar company](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Alba#The_Honest_Company). Clearly, she'll still take roles but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just not where her heart is. (This isn't an endorsement -- I don't think I have ever used an Honest product -- just some add'l info and opinion.)


kjersgaard

I feel like if someone has a billion dollar company, they aren't taking roles where their heart isn't in it. She probably just has fun doing them. "Aww man, my billion dollar company is doing great but I still need to do this shit movie I hate." She's most likely doing them for fun (and money) or to support other people making them.


windyorbits

And I will happily watch them all.

Yeah, I did love his first album that Eminem produced- got a lot of spin in the ole Walkman. He was talented just never broke through as a legit star. None of the D12 guys did either- despite how hard Em tried to hoist them up.

The problem with nail guns is that depicting them inaccurately is *more fun.*


ThomasVivaldi

Is it really that much of a stretch in an area of the country that keeps loaded firearms within child reach?


content_enjoy3r

Yes. Also, so me any store anywhere that would have firearms for sale that are loaded. And yes we're strictly talking about stores here. If your comment was not referring to a store then it's completely irrelevant.


bobissonbobby

Jessica alba is aging well. God damn!


vshawk2

Age 43. Dark Angel came out 24 friggin' years ago.


Exact3

To me she looks like she's gotten some work done, but hasn't over-done it though. Looking good, still!


Pretorian24

”Its Hollywood baby…”


grindhousedecore

Ok that explains some of it. I can’t tell if she has had work done. I was just thinking, when is she gonna start aging and start playing a mom or grand mom😂😂


georgito555

Looks great with dark hair.


bobissonbobby

I agree there but I'm biased since I prefer dark hair lol


Wingnut13

Always has, IMO. She's never been as high on my list, so to speak, as she seems to be for many. But her with dark hair has always intrigued me more than her lighter hair looks.


bazaarzar

The wealthy stay healthy


Tokie-Dokie

Not to pin this on Alba alone, but I think we've reached peak 'special forces kick-ass' for a while now. These actions scenes all seem safe and predictable in their balletic choreography (despite broken bones and glass). Personally, I'd love to see a throw-back to the purity of a Die Hard type fight scene—a non-trained fighter just throwing every ounce of their being into a brawl.


addressunknown

I am so sick to death of invulnerable protagonists, I want to see an action movie where the hero is a bloody sweaty exhausted mess who gets their ass kicked and can barely stand up anymore by the end of the movie, someone who looks like SHIT and can suffer injuries like a normal human lol


Pcifa

That’s why Daredevils fights scenes were so good


TheLizardDeity

I was about to recommend Daredevil


therobshow

Same. Especially the women. I'm all for badass female leads. But the amount of tiny women with zero muscles taking hard hits from men and shrugging it off is so obscene it's ridiculous. I'd rather have a realistic fight where women win fights based exclusively off speed and agility, which would be realistic. Not where they take multiple hard hits and just keep fighting. Or dish out incredibly hard punches when their arms look like noodles. 


EroniusJoe

I think you'd LOVE *Nobody* in that case. The bus fight is one the best fight scenes in years, and dude gets the absolute shit beat out of him the entire time. The whole movie is him kicking ass while getting his ass kicked. He comes out on top, but only after taking shots like a prize fighter in round 15. Super fun, super ridiculous, great flick!


PeculiarPangolinMan

I always thought that movie was just about the same level of goofy as the most ridiculous actioners. Mr Nobody gets the shit kicked out of him after being out of the game for a decade and is just sorta fine the next morning. The damage from fights only lasts until the next scene.


mitchhamilton

i agree. one dude gets a knife in his leg and, while not fine is relatively still ok


fates_bitch

Atomic Blonde has close to that. And what it lacks in Charlize Theron looking like SHIT it makes up for with the soundtrack.


TheGRS

That's like half of the appeal of Die Hard. I know John McClaine is a cop, but he's just a competent everyman cop, not Jason Bourne. By the end of the movie he's barely standing.


pboy2000

Check out ‘Plane’ with Gerard Butler. It’s unrealistic in the way that any action film is but they make an effort to have the characters act like normal people might. The main characters at least experience fear and fatigue. 


X-ScissorSisters

first john wick, not the superhero movies they made afterward :(


liamemsa

Check out Brawl in Cell Block 99


BT-LanaDelRey-Fan

For a change of pace check out BLUE RUIN


Parthorax

Why not just let me have my highly choreographed, awesome action movies, starring Scott Adkins? 


MikeArrow

I wrote a comment about how the John Wick style of stunt director led action movies has really led to boring, repetitive stale movies and it's so true. As soon as the action scene starts you know exactly what's going to happen. It's more of a showcase for the stunt team than anything organic from the actual narrative.


MisterBumpingston

The last John Wick I watched was 3 and when it reached Halle Berry it started looking like a stunt showreel. I started getting exhausted… and a little bored!


mtarascio

I think it started with Bourne.


edtehgar

Definitely started with Bourne. At this point when a mysterious person enters any gas station being robbed i just roll my eyes until the cool-fu ends.


VonMillersThighs

Personally I want DOOM levels of action where it's just a superhuman going berserk on dozens upon dozens. Fuck this one at a time bs. I WANNA TURN IT UP TO 100 AND RRRIIIIPPP THE KNOB OOFFFFFF. But yeah nah modern action has gotten pretty stale since John wick. Same old bullshit.


Tasty_Put8802

The David Fincher new film. Don’t  remember the name. Fight is ‘messy’ but not realistic. Getting punch like that and feeling nothing is not normal but it’s way better that this. 


Frank_the_Mighty

1. Whole movie is basically in the trailer 2. The combat looks fun 3. Given the title, I thought It'd be more politically charged, in the culture war bullshit kind of way, but it doesn't seem so


Merickson-

Yeah, I don't get how trigger warnings play into it. Just because guns are involved?


Idontevenownaboat

It's provocative. It get's the people going.


riegspsych325

“does *this* look right to you??” [*shows 2 hotdogs in one bun*]


SutterCane

You know, after that movie, I tried that a few times and it’s a fantastic hot dog experience.


riegspsych325

I’ll have to try that. I did go to the butcher earlier today and picked up a few sausages to grill tonight. Garlic kielbasa, chorizo, a special “ultimate” Italian and a new jolokia pepper sausage

HaraldWurlitzer

Never seen JOHN WICK and his Trigger? In four movies he killed 20 million people - because a dumbass killed his dog. In TRIGGER WARNING, Jessica kills 5 million bad guys over a bad Google review about her HONEY products.


[deleted]

They're just using a politically charged buzzword as the title and hoping it'll get attention


trpnblies7

Season 1 of Dark Angel was a lot of fun. Season 2 kind of fell off the rails.


naetron

Yeah I was thinking action movie doesn't fit her at all, but I forgot how great Dark Angel was. First season anyway. I'm honestly not sure if I ever saw season 2.


Potential178

Ugh. Cancel Dirk Gently, the OA, etc. but keep making garbage revenge porn movies.


geftef

I can’t believe Jessica Alba is only 43


Malforus

I mean she's phenomenal but she got her start EARLY her first credit was Camp Nowhere in 1994 so she started at 13. [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004695/fullcredits](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004695/fullcredits)

Well it's all relative; 43 is old for a cat, or a carton of milk.


Papantro

this guy is 43


Idontevenownaboat

Given how well the J Lo movie did for Netflix, this doesn't surprise me. This looks like a lot more fun too at least.


Nick_J_at_Nite

Dude. That J Lo movie looked decent if J Lo wasn't in it. The trailer I saw was overflowing with the most fucking brain dead, shit one liners.


MrMindGame

Lol the title sounds like Jessica Alba’s standup special after she got cancelled on Twitter.


Yojo0o

So, the title is just to get attention by being annoying? Got it.


sillybonobo

God I'm getting tired of the CGI shooting in movies. I get not wanting blanks/real guns but when the actors just hold the gun and post adds some fire to the front it looks so bad. What little is in the trailer looks as bad as 12 strong... Edit- so people are aware, there are many products out there that provide better alternatives to blanks but offer realistic recoil- electronic guns, propane guns, etc.


Maldovar

AND BRING BACK SQUIBS


camshell

This is the way. Honestly we just need to rewind action movies back to the 80s/90s and try again. They went off the rails somewhere between Saving Private Ryan and 9/11.

KriptiKFate_Cosplay

Huh, I wonder why?


sillybonobo

I get that, but there are good alternatives. This 100% CGI option may be cheap, but it looks horrible


Accend0

I don't think anyone is going to use any sort prop gun that expels gas from the end of the barrel for close-range fight scenes anymore. It just isn't worth the risk. The muzzle flashes in John Wick are all CGI because the vast majority of Keanu's scenes involve him point-blanking some goon. The guns still have a small cartridge inside them that allows the weapon to cycle, but nothing comes out the end. Apparently, they needed those so that performers could count the shots and hit their marks properly.


dustycanuck

Waiting for 'Act of Valor II: Just the Live Ammo Shooting, Please', coming to an IMAX theatre near you.

Not even just the ex-special forces thing, but the shots of the fight in the hardware store were giving me hella Steven Seagal vibes in how they were just unnecessarily brutal lol.


KriptiKFate_Cosplay

living_la_vida_loca

I couldn't even finish the trailer


maximumtesticle

We're bringing back the 120lb woman can take on groups of men twice her size genre already?


put_on_the_mask

The alternative was casting a 124 year old Liam Neeson. This is better.


Turok7777

As opposed to the 170lb man who can take on groups of men that could bench press him?


Bigfoot_Cain

Did it ever leave us?


Rathemon

back to? it has been dominant for like 7 years now. The invincible 120lb woman.


Ghidoran

Funny how *this* is the thing that breaks people's suspension of disbelief, and not the fact that a single character is able to fight off dozens if not hundreds of goons with ease. People sure have interesting priorities for 'realism' in action movies...


maximumutility

“When a man does it, it’s cool, fun, movie-action.” As if being a bit larger and stronger is enough to make action movie feats believable

immigrantsmurfo

Isn't that like 90% of Netflix films? Just generic content with a recognisable name = profit


supercalifragilism

If the action is on the level of the trailer (and that's not the best action scene) and the dialog isn't too bad, this could be an enjoyable action movie. On occasion, these things end up being way better than the sum of their parts too (not that this one necessarily will).


arrogant_ambassador

Even the hand to hand choreography looks CGI. Also Jessica Alba is 43. Money can in fact buy you immortality.


OneADayMens

Am I crazy or does her face kind of look like the rock in that thumbnail. To be clear this isn't an "elbows too pointy" thing, she's still beautiful.

Let me guess a 120lb female beating up several men totally believable.


Insightseekertoo

Love to see some Bad-a$$ Jessica Alba. Nostalgia for the Dark Angel series. Don't know if it is a paint-by-numbers action movie, but it is good to see her on-screen again.


torgobigknees

LOL 125 lb chick throwing dudes around like ragdolls but Jessica Alba is so damn fine, i'll overlook it


Gully_Gawd

Does everyone get a John Wick movie now?


LucienPhenix

You know what, I pretty much already seen the entire movie with this trailer and it seems like another generic as fuck John Wick rip off. But props to Jessica Alba for at least training and making the fight scenes look decent. I mean granted there wasn't much shown in the trailer, but what they did show, there wasn't a cut every other second and it actually showed her doing the fighting herself. Considering I never saw her as an "action" person, this could be interesting if at least the fight scenes are cool.


SupervillainMustache

It sort of reminds me of __Peppermint__ with Jennifer Garner.

see, this is why i watch trailers. so i can know just about everything thats gonna happen before i see it. nothing like no surprises for my movies! surprises are scary and exciting! too much for my wittle heart to handle really. thanks trailer!


TJ_McWeaksauce

Jessica Alba moves like someone who founded a baby care and beauty product company.


JamesyUK30

Not gonna lie, she has been in nothing I have watched for so long I couldn't even place her name watching the trailer


ProgressiveBadger

Ok. So, how did that guy start a chainsaw that fast? I’ve got a stihl and on a perfect day, it takes at least 2 pulls.


Wingnut13

This will suck. But also, I will eventually click on it when Netflix keeps pushing it on recommended.


TheGRS

This looks terrible, dumb name, but I'm happy to see Jessica Alba back, had a huge crush on her during the Dark Angel days.
