THE FLASH
Summed up as: Things continue to move speedily along after this spinoff’s super successful premiere!
Coolest thing about the trailer: The poison gas supervillain, obvy.
We’re wondering: How can the Flash outrun the air around him?
Watch, DVR or Skip? Watch. We’re still hooked.
THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART I
Summed up as: The buildup continues at a slow boil leading up to the third installment in the series.
Coolest thing about the trailer: How subtle and slow it is. And how we only see Katniss.
We love: The soundtrack, a new song by Lorde
Worth seeing opening weekend? Of course.
UNBROKEN
Summed up as: A true story of heroics and bravery during WWII, starring Jack O’Connell (Starred Up) as Olympian and war veteran Louis Zamperini.
Don’t miss: Domhnall Gleeson of Harry Potter fame, who is one of the actors currently filming the coveted Star Wars Episode VII.
Also be sure not to miss: Garrett Hedlund, from Tron and Inside Llewlyn Davis.
Worth seeing opening weekend? We’re intrigued.
IN THE HEART OF THE SEA
Summed up as: The ‘true’ story that inspired Moby Dick, this survival tale pits Chris Hemsworth (Thor himself) against a monstrous whale.
Coolest thing in the trailer: The whale, duh. And what a whale it is!
Be sure not to miss: Ben Whishaw (Cloud Atlas as well as the new Q in the Bond films), who plays some writer named Herman Melville.
Worth seeing opening weekend? This looks like a period piece version of Jaws. We’re ready!
TOMORROWLAND
Summed up as: The highly (highly) anticipated Disney vehicle from Brad Bird, director of The Incredibles.
Best thing in the trailer: We are thrilled to see Britt Robertson (The Secret Circle, Under the Dome) get a plum lead role, featured in this beautiful and expertly executed teaser trailer.
We’re not sure about: George Clooney, who is getting a bit too suave for his own good. We’d love to see him in a movie where he looks at least a little stress.
Worth seeing opening weekend? Absolutely.
WOLVES
Summed up as: A werewolf movie reminiscent of The Lost Boys.
Don’t miss: Lucas Till, of X-Men fame as Havok (side note: Wolves is written and directed by original X-Men scribe David Hayter). Also Merritt Patterson, aka Olivia of the one season #PLL spinoff Ravenswood.
Dumbest thing in the trailer: With all its high school athletics, the trailer’s insanely obvious references to Teen Wolf.
Worth seeing opening weekend? We’ll wait to see more.
AS NIGHT COMES
Summed up as: A creepy revenge fantasy/tale that calls to mind Gus Van Sant’s Elephant with a spookier edge.
Most interesting thing in the trailer: The obvious presence, on the part of the filmmakers, of direct references to the issue of bullying.
Creepiest thing in the trailer: The Misfits’ makeup on ‘Mischief Night’, especially the androgynous leader of the pack. Good model for a Halloween look!
Worth seeing opening weekend? This looks mighty intriguing…
WILDLIKE
Summed up as: Martha Marcy May Marlene meets Into the Wild, with a troubled and lost young adult girl on the run in the Alaskan wilderness.
Don’t Miss: Ella Purnell, of Maleficent and Kick-Ass 2, as the lead Mackenzie.
Also be sure not to miss: Glee and Awkward’s Nolan Gerard Funk as Tommy!
Worth seeing opening weekend? So far this looks like required viewing.
BAD TURN WORSE
Summed up as: A tight-looking YA crime thriller starring Mackenzie Davis of Zac Efron vehicle That Awkward Moment.
Best thing in the trailer: The editing.
Be sure not to miss: A group of relatively unknown young adult actors who promise to turn in effective performances judging from what’s seen here.
Worth seeing opening weekend? Who doesn’t like a good crime thriller?
