As the first teasers and trailers started coming out I was mostly interested by the involvement of The Dark Knight's Christopher Nolan and wondered if it could be as good a reboot as his Batman trilogy.
On June 6th 2013 a Nokia exclusive trailer was released and it really got my heartbeat going. I looked up its release date and realised it was a week away, and I happened to be going to see Matthew and Caroline that evening anyway so I shot him an email...
So disappointing. It had everything going for it, great actors, a great composer, tons of money, a good concept, and it was so close. It opened as and continued to have elements of a great scifi movie that I would have totally loved, but suffered from really horrendous scientific blasphemies. There was so much effort put in to making it really dramatic and serious, and it would totally have paid off but it just felt empty. The action was just ridiculous. There was so much destruction and chaos that it became silly.
The best I got out of it was the shadow of a really awesome science fiction movie. I loved the opening on Krypton. I loved the concept of this alien race with an interesting and colourful background sending their last child across the stars, to live among a young race that had made none of the mistakes of their mature one, to inspire them to become more than they had managed. Someone needs to get a lot of credit for those elements.
Of course Mum was completely disgusted :P
