YouTube suggestions actually got something right for once and put this trailer in front of me a few days ago, despite me not having heard a darn thing about this movie prior. I definitely wouldn’t have thought it was sci-fi based on the title.

The front half of the trailer, I was a bit unimpressed. The visuals are nice, but the scenes/dialog shown didn’t suggest anything new or unusual or interesting, but by the end I was intrigued, after the kid showed up. I’m hoping the kid isn’t too much of a spoiler, though.

I have good memories of Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence, and while it’s damn hard to find genuinely good child actors, I suppose I have a bit of cautious hope that this might riff on some of the feelings/thoughts I had in A.I.

I guess this movie is an original property, not based on an existing game, book, or series, which is nice.

The trailer seems to show an awful lot of the movie, and I’m unsure if that’s because there’s so much more to show, or someone felt they couldn’t make a trailer that didn’t show it. That said, I did think the trailer wasn’t interesting until the kid, so perhaps the choice was correct, since it was the thing that hooked me.
