C'mon, Seriously?

The trailer for Lockout:

Only one man can save the president's daughter from a maximum security prison on the edge of space: Codename Snow. In a world without heroes, only a loose cannon maverick armed with deadpan quips can save us all!

Honestly, this looks like one of those films which was extruded, with no human creativity involved. Sheesh.

It's official: Originality is dead

If you feed pasteurized processed film food to pasteurized processed film, it will produce pasteurized processed film product.

Cheesy.

Two possible saving graces: Guy Pearce. Luc Besson.

On the ritual/revelation spectrum it'll be pretty far to the left, but based on the visuals that might be okay.

Well said. I was like... well, it's Luc Besson so it'll be fun to watch and... yeah, that's all I got.

So... Escape from LA meets Fortress 2 IN SPACE!

(Okay, Fortress 2 was already IN SPACE, so they can't even be that original.)

Definitely very Es-Cap-E from LA. I guess Kurt Russell is just a wee bit too old to be resurrected for this one. Mind you, the shit they can do to make The Dude, I mean Jeff Bridges a younger version of himself for the Tron reboot, they coulda with Kurt.

What this movie needs is more MULLET.

"It's the world's least secure movie concept. It holds the planet's most overused tropes."

So we're seeing it opening night, right?

Ooh! Let's camp out for opening night!

But it has spaceships, so my other half will be all over it.
