The problem is this: I love monsters on a spaceship movies... and i'm not interested in this movie! Why? Because it's everything i love... and everything i've seen a gazillion times in other movies. What's the point? There is basically nothing new, nothing that really motivates me to go to the movies for this.
Right, and people had to wait until word of mouth to realise that for the star studded cast and intriguing trailers, it's not what they want. That's actually my point -- the word of mouth killed it very, very quickly.
That is not the case with me though, i never read reviews or heard someone talking about the movie, i saw the trailer - and yawned.
Also, the movie didn't do very good on opening weekend, so it's not like box-office suddenly broke in
after word of mouth reached the street, people weren't interested in this from the get go, and that is attributable to the trailers... which showed you.. well... nothing new, creative or inventive.
The Predator, hopefully, will give people something they havent seen before in this kind of movie or franchise... and that's the whole point, make it fresh and interesting. Give me something to get my ass up and spend 50 bucks on a saturday evening to go check this out and not just something i see when i pop in the other movies.
Hell, i want to see the kid fly a Predator spaceship and run around with Predator tech, causing havoc on Halloween, this could turn out to be awesome... or awful... but i pay for a ticket to go see it, good or bad, and that's the point, they at least have my attention... something Life couldn't achieve.
