Hey at least it didn't feel as if it tells you quite the whole movie like the Transcendence trailer ;-) Must be something about sci-fi movies nowadays and explaining every little detail in advance.

About Time is a pretty good time traveling story.

Terrible movie in my opinion.
Definitely going to see this.
Loved Butterfly Effec and I loved Chronicle.

Did these motherfuckers build a time machine out of a God damn Xbox?
Microsoft already went back in time with its branding themselves.

I remember loving Dead Again back when it first came out. Sort of a time travel / past lives kinda movie.

Or his dad, which explains his absence and the abandoned laboratory with things finished but unassembled.

Hmmm, yeah. This looks pretty dumb. I dunno. I feel like it's nothing I haven't seen before.

Makes no sense why the smiley face only shows up when he's drawing it, but yeah, he shows up at the party years before he even did it.
Inconsistent.
But I'll still watch it. When it's on NetFlix.

trailer felt like one of those company meetings where they discuss some completely different ideas and the guy in charge comes with: "hey you guys seen Primer?".
And then they make a lame rip-off because obviously having a good movie can't be tolerated so it has to be shat upon with a band of teenagers and OMG DRAAAAMAAAA.
Que Big Fucking Spider.

Looks average. Can already guess the ending will see the main character kill his younger self or his father as is more likely.

Maybe all the terrible things that have happened since then were a consequence of that time travel?
E.g. 9/11 and any other disasters.

So he's going to kill his 7 year old self? or his dad I guess. I do think this trailer gave too much away

Looks dumb. Won't watch.
If they're following that model of time travel then all the changes they caused would have already happened before they travelled.

Man, that's a really, really creepy scenario seeing your own current self in a very old recording.
Anyways, looks like a really generic time-travel premise which in itself can be perfectly fine if executed well; if that's actually the case here though, color me surprised.
There's always a lot of inconsistencies in time-travel fiction but I still need a well thought out layout and continuity, even if you can rip it apart in a deeper analysis. I really couldn't stand Looper because it contradicted itself so heavily and didn't even try to come up with s.th. decent (and no, saying "let's not think about time travel because it makes no sense" in the movie doesn't mean it's okay).
I really enjoyed the anime series Steins;Gate because the ground rules for time-traveling in that one were actually well thought out and kept me interested.
Oh and yeh, this is another trailer that spoils just about the entire plot. Then again, does it matter? In pretty much all time-travel fiction you can expect the "oh no, because we used time-travel we fucked stuff up thanks to the butterfly effect!"

Yeah, these trailers are getting redonkulus.
Trailer should have consisted off "teens root around in attic, find time machine, have fun, then... something bad happens" without alluding to what the bad thing is.

Yeah; that really felt like it was giving away a shit load of stuff.
Agreed; I'm so fed up with the 'found footage' style where they find tenuous reasons for the characters to be holding the camera. It got pretty bad in Chronicle I thought, near the end when
Andrew steals all the tourist devices like iPads and whatnot and circles them around himself and Matt
I didn't understand Primer. It seemed like it had some great ideas, but I don't have the time or patience to watch a film more than once in order to comprehend it, and as far as I could tell they
went back in time to punch someone at a party
Feels like I already watch this, I could probably guess the cliche ending. Also, this is what I hate about time travel movies. They always go back, do some cool stuff, OH RIPPLE EFFECTS!, and the later parts of the movie are them trying to undo everything. How about a time travel movie where everything works out :/
How about a movie that starts out with everything fucked, they go back and change things, and by the end of the movie we have the present day world.

"Hey! We just made a brake though in science and in our understanding of the universe....... Let dick around and party!"
I already want to punch every character in the face.

Eh, that character is obsessed with filming his life. Cameras are like a safety blanket for him, that scene isn't really all that out of character. In the action that follows, the "found footage" aspect becomes a little tenuous, but I was engrossed enough in the action/drama that my suspension of disbelief held. Still the best "found footage" style film I've seen.
The latest Paranormal Activity movie is hilarious because of this (
it's a hilariously bad movie anyway

They see evidence that they've time travelled BEFORE they time travel which means that everything that will happen has already happened. Therefore they cannot change everything, BUT that is exactly what they end up doing.
The filmmakers should actually put some thought into the internal logic of their movie.

Hot damn. So glad I passed on that one. I would have spent the whole movie wondering why

I prefer it that way, honestly. It's practically its own sub genre now, and a big conceit is that the characters have cameras. So lets stop coming up with half assed in story reasons for them, makes it worse imo.
To further clarify, I'd rather have no reason stated (other than the real world one i.e. it's that type of movie) than to have one character ask why and be given the aggrivating "because people will want know!" horseshit.

i feel like that's how a lot of movies and television shows get made.
"wouldn't __________ be really weird?"
"yeah, how do we pad that out for 90 minutes?"
Well, yeah. Everything starts off as a cool little idea.
