The Suicide Squad Gets a New Trailer “Rebellion”

A brand new trailer for James Gunn‘s The Suicide Squad is here.

Welcome to hell—a.k.a. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out—even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today’s do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin, and everyone’s favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and-destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave…and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement. And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them—all of them.

The film stars Margot Robbie (“Birds of Prey,” “Bombshell”), Idris Elba (“Avengers: Infinity War”), John Cena (upcoming HBO Max series “Peacemaker,” “Bumblebee”), Joel Kinnaman (“Suicide Squad”), Jai Courtney (the “Divergent” franchise), Peter Capaldi (“World War Z,” BBC’s “Doctor Who” ), David Dastmalchian (upcoming “Dune,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp”), Daniela Melchior (“Parque Mayer”), Michael Rooker (the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films), Alice Braga (“Elysium”), Pete Davidson (“The King of Staten Island,” TV’s “Saturday Night Live”), Joaquín Cosio (“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” TV’s “Narcos: Mexico”), Juan Diego Botto (“The Europeans”), Storm Reid (“The Invisible Man,” “A Wrinkle in Time”, “Euphoria”), Nathan Fillion (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” TV’s “The Rookie”), Steve Agee (“Brightburn,” “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”), Sean Gunn (the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films, the “Avengers” films), Mayling Ng (“Wonder Woman”), Flula Borg (“Ralph Breaks the Internet”), Jennifer Holland (“Brightburn,” upcoming HBO Max series “Peacemaker”) and Tinashe Kajese (TV’s “Valor,” “The Inspectors”), with Sylvester Stallone (the “Rocky,” “Rambo” and “Expendables” franchises), and Viola Davis (“Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “Suicide Squad”).

It is set for release nationwide in theaters and IMAX on August 6, 2021 and will be available on HBO Max for 31 days from theatrical release.

Movie Review: Terminator Genisys

Have you ever experienced a deja vu? Or have you ever been spoiled by a movie trailer?  Well, if you haven’t, this movie will give you the opportunity to do so. The movie follows Kyle Reece (Jai Courtney) going back from 2029 to 1984 in order to save Sarah O’Connor. However, it turns out she already knows about the terminators and, at the age of nine, has been saved by chwarzenegger’s Pops and the convoluted plot starts tangling Now, you had seen the trailer a couple of times, like me, you know how things play out and it turned out I was almost right. The reveals are not as unexpected as the makers might have hoped it to be. Even so, I actually enjoyed watching the film. Yes, I rolled my eyes a lot of times due to the silliness of the film. The enormous amount of exposition is cringe-worthy; it’s unbearable at times.  What do I mean with deja vu?  Well,  most of the actions scenes, which although being quite a few, felt generic and done before. The overreliance of CGI does not help either. Speaking of which, it was impressive at moments, but those moments are few and far between. However, some of the slow-motion scenes were quite good. Despite its weaknesses, the reboot has some tricks up its sleeve. For instance, there are a lot of comedic moments and jokes that indeed land. The whole theater busted out laughing an impressive number of times. Another strong aspect at the movie is the acting. Everyone does their job extremely well. I was impressed the most by Jay Courtni; he exceeded my expectations. There is no need to talk about Emilia Clarke or Arnold — they are as stellar as you can expect them to be. As any film, Terminator: Genisys has its flaws, but it’s one of those good popcorn-flicks where you can turn off your brain for two hours and simply enjoy the ride. Watching it in 4DX, IMAX or PLF(Premium Large Format) will only enhance the experience.

Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
