It looks like number two.
You took the number two right out of my mouth.
But who does number two work for?
Best comment Ever
Oh boy, another movie about young, pretty white people being hunted down. I bet they’re also misunderstood!
Bob, you’re dead on; no pun intended.
I choked on a ritz cracker. It’s all your fault, Bob.
Director made DISTURBIA and EAGLE EYE.
Both were successful to some degree at the box office. They had moments but the endings sucked.
Don’t know why they’re not selling his name with this. But this is just a “teaser” trailer so I’m sure more is come as the release date draws near.
Use your iphone (or other) app “QR Reader” (you can download it for free @ the App Store) to scan the weird code at the end of the trailer…it’s the QR Code…it will take you to another trailer…very cool use of this new technology.
I don’t understand why a marketer would use a QR code. If you have to explain what it is and how to use it … it’s bad.
why is every trailer that gets posted here ‘HOT’?
Reminds me of PUSH combined with PERCY JACKSON and isn’t that the same weekend it was released too or around? Would’ve looked better if it wasn’t for the black cuts every 2 seconds.
Horrible. Can we stop making shitty movies about man-boys with powers please!
Bob – that is the comment of the year on dhd!
Looks like poppycock to me.
In retrospect, this makes the YOGI BEAR trailer look “hot.”
“An alien trying to assimilate as a human, but targeted for death by the baddies that destroyed his planet”…I liked it better when it was called SUPERMAN.
It finally looks like Disney has something worth seeing. Maybe now that Dreamworks is there making good movies, we can stop the parade of Bruckheimer trash.
I can’t wait to see more!
I may just be a simple minded movie loving pleeb but I think it looks cool. Good looking cast and James Frey? I’m in.
bob’s comment is perfect. this looks like a more expensive syfy original movie or CW pilot.
Wow — I’m getting SO tired of trailers that give us genre and a few snippets from some CGI action set-pieces, but tell us nothing about STORY! Who is this character? Where is he from? WHO IS HUNTING HIM? Why?? What are the stakes? THESE ARE THE REASONS WE GO TO THE MOVIES!!!
I swear, this is a TWO MINUTE trailer that addresses virtually NO story or character questions.
Really unbelievable that the marketing people at DreamWorks think this is enough to get people into theaters…
er…
the movie?
HOT TRAILER. NOT.
Looks amazing! Just finished the book and can’t wait to see the film.
wow. I disagree with everyone– respectfully.
Wow, looks like a horrible movie. They shouldn’t be so upfront about the franchise though, cause this looks like a box office bomb. Who the hell is this alex kid though, never heard of him. Get him some acting lesson’s stat.
He’s a dick. Has already fired two sets of representatives.
LOL. I hope he’s ready to work every day – in TV
(those dreaded) Sequential blackouts, bland narration and the ‘shock & awe’ generic building, bombastic audio
(oh, and nothing ‘alien’) =
HOT…as in Refried Spam (90 min. of your life, stolen, gone forever)
Is this Frey novel also autobiographical?
Looks like #2 to me…
Now they’re remaking jokes too I guess…
Looks to me like a straight cross between Final Destination and Percy Jackson.
Tad boring for those of us over 16.
I am number one to not see this movie. Looks horrible.
First they came for number 1, and I didn’t speak up because I was number four.
Then they came for number 2, and I didn’t speak up because I was number four.
Then they came for number 3, and I didn’t speak up because I was number four.
And then they came for me, but I changed my name to number 27,345,129. The End.
Wow that is the worst trailer I’ve seen in a long time.
re do the voiceover at the very least.
