“Cadets? You better gear up.”
I think I might dig this sequel, even though Idris Elba is nowhere to be seen. Why? Because this feels like a mix of mystery (who let the Kaiju back into our world?) and Top Gun (cadets training to become Jaeger pilots). Naturally, as a kaiju-aholic, I could be deceiving myself. But I hope I’m not. I need to know more about the plot before I fully believe in Uprising, because while the first half of this trailer is absolutely incredible, the second feels like a pander-fest for Michael Bay film aficionados.
After you peep this trailer, you decide. And then read on for the full 411 – including an in-depth synopsis – from Universal!
Nutshell: There’s no doubt that Lin Shaye is an incredible actress that brings top-notch talent to this series as psychic-in-charge Elise. There is, however, serious doubt that this series can continue, considering how it scrapes up the usual jump scares and night-vision tactics that have been a staple of the “other realms” horror subgenre. Last Key is a lot of scary fun, but if this franchise is to continue, there needs to be fresh…blood. Grade: B
Happy 2018 y’all! Ready to get your New Year passes on? Good, because I’ve got passes for Den of Thieves. Synopsis!
Ah, Blumhouse. You are so much fun. As with Lionsgate, you’ve established yourself as a studio where I can go for some fun scary stuff. And with the new trailer for Truth or Dare, fun scary stuff looks to be the rule of the day. Synopsis!
