This was supposed to open next month. It was announced today that it's been bumped to Feb. 2015. Not a good sign.

Pretty late in the game for a move like that.

The article says it's to complete the special effects work. But moving it to February isn't exactly a vote of confidence either.
I was not impressed by the trailers... but it must have really been a mess to move it to February. |

It's probably not tht good or just too weird for summer mainstream audiences. The Wachowskis jumped the shark long ago.....

Disney should bump up Guardians of the Galaxy a few weeks. There is a big hole now in the middle of July with no big budget event films.

Must really be a stinker of a final cut.

While they are still interesting visually in their films, it's probably no coincidence that they were accused of plaugerizing the storyline for the 1st 2 parts of The Matrix.

I just watched 2001 A Space Odyssey last night for about the umpteenth time... and that's pretty much the standard I'm going to judge any and all "serious" sci-fi movies by from here out.
Big shoes to fill, and the last great sci-fi movie was Moon... I hope the Wachowskis brought their A game for this one, the new Nolan film is promising as well, but I'm jaded about sci-fi more than any other genre. If its not great, its shit... theres no inbetween. |

While I really liked Moon, I wouldn't put it on the same level as 2001: ASO. That was a rare film for any genre (IMO). That movie invoked a sense of wonder that Moon just couldn't touch. Moon was an awesome character study with a fantastic twist, but it didn't have that "awe" factor. What got me about your comment was..."If its not great, its shit... theres no inbetween." My response fits your comment well. I've enjoyed a ton of sci-fi that's not great, but has still been a lot of fun. I'm guessing you hated Europa Report, which was a serious/suspense sci-fi flick. I loved it. Really brought the viewer into life on a mulit-month space flight, and then totally changed gear in the last third. It wasn't great, but it was good and fun. If you're going to judge all movies against 2001: ASO, I think you're going to be sadly disappointed 99% of the time.
