It’s about that time. “What time is this?” you ask. Time for a trailer review. Here’s how this works: periodically, I’ll watch an old movie trailer and decide if I will watch it. If I do, then the following day’s review will be of the chosen trailer movie.
The movies up for judgment are suggested movies from my audience, so if you think I should watch a certain movie – speak up! Got it? Good. Let’s jump right into today’s suggested trailer.
That’s right – Star Wars. One of the movies that my real-world friends recommend the most is the Star Wars Saga. So why not start from the first?
I love old special effects. Since Star Wars was first released in 1977, I’m sure the cutting edge technology of the past will make me laugh. It’s hard to not see old films as silly today, especially when we have TVs that can screen 3D in our own homes.
Around 0:30 of the trailer, the narrator says this movie is about “a boy and a girl and a universe.” Wow, what a way to sum up a story in the biggest cliché possible, Narrator Man. As the trailer continues, the claims get more and more grandiose. I feel like I’m being offered the world; from describing it as “an epic of heroes” to having “aliens from a 1,000 worlds,” Star Wars thought of it all. What do viewers want? Aliens, romance, and rebellion according to Star Wars.
Will I watch this movie? Probably, but only because I saw Harrison Ford shooting a laser gun, while wearing what looks like a cowboy suit. And because of the way the logo exploded at the end of the trailer.
