Trailer - Chronicling 'The Mutant Chronicles'
I was not expecting greatness when I read the
description for
The Mutant Chronicles, a sci-fi movie in which
Ron Perlman,
Thomas Jane, and
John Malkovich fight NecroMutants. I mean, it
could be a silly enough experience that some laughs could come from it, but I
hope nobody was really taking it seriously.
Then we saw some posters, which I think are meant to be
serious, and some more concern crept in. "They do realize these guys are hunting
NecroMutants, right?" was the question I asked myself.
And today, I saw a trailer for The Mutant Chronicles,
and while the second half looks pretty standard, I have to see the first 30
seconds of this minute-long teaser is pretty compelling, and throughout the
clip, I really like the dreary look of the future world director
Simon Hunter has created.
We still don't have a U.S. release date for
Chronicles as far as I know, but at least the news appears headed in the
other direction for a change.

Hello, I really enjoyed reading your blog. I have a movie review blog as well, Bitchin' Movie Reviews (www.blakecgriffin.blogspot.com. I was wondering if you'd like to link to each others' sites?
Seemed mroe like they were fighting robots then necrohumans,but whatever. I like me my future apocalyptic war movies.
"Then we saw some posters, which I think are meant to be serious, and some more concern crept in. "They do realize these guys are hunting NecroMutants, right?" was the question I asked myself."
I think your being a little too hard on this film and expecting this to be a masterpiece or something. One should not expect this film to be on a level of “Citizen Kane”, “Casablanca”, “Gone With the Wind” or with lines and dialog like that of “Shakespeare” because it’s not trying to be like those type of films.
"Seemed mroe like they were fighting robots then necrohumans"
I fail to see how it seemed that they were fighting robots than necrohumans... they didn't even come close to robots.
On the contrary, that's the problem I have with the more serious posters. Have some fun with it: You're fighting necrohumans. After all, the first five words of the post were, "I was not expecting greatness." Hard to see how you missed that.
