Unironically kys.

On the evidence of this trailer I've decided that ISIS, China, and the third world hordes deserve to take over the world.

White people had it all and threw it all away.

Weren't there rumors a year or two ago about this being filmed in 60fps or am I just imagining this?

Some of that CGI looked like absolute shit. Still, will make a change for a blockbuster to come out that isn't capeshit.

Your logic. You use CGI to enhance or create the really difficult things, whereas you build practical effects for the rest.

See: Titanic. Big real ship, enhanced with CGI.

No.

Then again I'm an oldfag who was around for all the 1980's stuff, no idea how a millennial would take it. I mean, we all know "The Breakfast Club" and "Back to the Future" but how excited are you kids today really gonna be, about Zork and Joust.

DUDE 80S POP CULTURE AND NERD CULTURE LMAO

Seriously though this looks terrible

>>85298442
The book is shit. You can be a stupid fanboy whose entire personality revolves around pop culture, but it doesn't make the writing, pacing, characterization, or any other aspect of the book good. It is a bad book that relies entirely on references to other, better things to create the fuzzy feeling of nostalgia.

>>85297736
I mean it'd be impossible to not CGI an entire VR world which the book is based off of.

At least the CGI looks good.

I'm actually pretty excited. The book was pretty awesome, going to be cool to see what Shillberg does with it.

I love Spielberg but that looks like shit.

Nah, the shit with the Sixers worked as its own creation, same with Art3mis actually being a well-realized character. The kernel was some pop culture bullshit but on a whole it works.

Unlike his follow-up novel, which was trash.

>>85298550
It's not about the quality of the things it's referencing. Most of them are good to great. But that doesn't make building an entire narrative around references good, that's still a shit concept that deserves as much mockery and derision as it can get

Looks like a pretty bad kids action movie.

I heard the book was corny as all fucking hell though.

>>85298615
>Art3mis actually being a well-realized character
Holy shit, I cannot believe there is someone this stupid. She has almost literally no depth. You can sum up her entire character, her motivations, her flaws, everything, in three fucking words.

>>85298595
He's, under any definition of the word, not a nu-male.
He's just a hack writer that is glorifying his generation and his infancy, he's lucky enough that we live in a society where being a "nerd" is cool, so people bought his book and read it to get nerd cred.
He's an absolute garbage writer, apparently he won some poetry contests, how he achieved this feat I fear I'll never understand.

>>85298622
It's an entire book based around, "I understood that reference!" if you didn't live through the 1980s you'll probably be annoyed by the whole thing, but the trailer looks like they threw some newer shit in there for cross-generational appeal (i.e. Iron Giant).

>>85298157
I think thats duke too or is "duke"

>>85298333
The book also had places that asethetically were different

Anyone who ironically thinks the social commentary, Spielberg's fun blockbuster style and yes pop culture references (which were by the way found in fiction well before capeshit) will not evaluate this film above cgi John Carter garbage, is a fool.

>>85298342
just how dumb are you? psuedointellectuals would never read this book.

That was really god damn cringy.

>>85298692
She starts off that way but when she actively tells him to fuck off, then later gets some backstory, that puts her ahead of the curve.

Book still fails the Bechdel test, but Parzival, Art3mis and H all get more thought put into them than mere plot devices (unlike the bad guy).

Duke Nukem was also there in a shot.

>>85298794
>She starts off that way but when she actively tells him to fuck off, then later gets some backstory, that puts her ahead of the curve.
And for all of that, she can still be described in three words. Because Cline is that shit of a writer.

I still have no idea what this movie is about

And pray tell, why on earth would I do that?

why the fuck would I read all these posts? Do you think I have the time? do you think I do nothing but browse /tv/ all day whilst feasting on hot pockets and Dr pepper, what's the worst that could happen? Do you think I want to read through the inane drivel that autists like yourself post day in and day out on this forum?

Do you think that when I opened this thread up, I exclaimed in glee at the large number of posts that had already been submitted and then had the energy and willpower to read through line after line of absolute cancer written by anonymous posters such as yourself? Do you think anyone would want to suffer under such torment, rather than to just ask a question in expectance of receiving a clear and quick answer? Of course not, no, I must subjugate myself to slowly scrolling down this thread in the mere hope that within this steaming pile of warthog shit that i might find someone has asked a question of similar vein and has received an answer. No thanks pal, I think I'll er, pass on that little escapade, thank you very much. Maybe troglodytes such as yourself have the time and energy for such an endeavor, but not this guy.

thats the american (wrong) way of doing it

>>85300939

Yup and everyone will forget that this generation glommed their entire identity off of the 80's... There will be a couple of "aware" episodic shows or films that will call attention to the actual 80's and they will be dubbed something akin to "kino" by the apathetic denizens of whatever passes for /tv/ or its nearest living relative at that point.

The ride never ends.

>>85301113
Completely straight-faced.
The book is set on a dystopian future where everything has gone to shit because people are too busy reliving epic 80s culture in a videogame but that's never acknowledged by the author, it's something obvious that apparently flew over his head while writing this hogwash.
If you're somewhat smart you read the book expecting at some point for it to turn around and start criticising nostalgia and escapism, but that never comes.
The morale of the book is that the world is shitty, so you should waste your entire life LARPing the 80s.

>>85301219
Ernest Cline's from Ohio.

I unironically like the book. It's definitely a "Turn Your Brain Off" kind of plot, though. In any case it'll probably be better than Sword Art Online but it's not hard to beat memetic dog shit.

>>85301309
Is its future really even all that dystopian? The main character is presumably from the poorest rungs of this society, and he's still fat and has access to tech I can't even dream of.

>>85301309
i find that hard to believe, how could that point be missed by the author?

>>85301378
Reading TvTropes pages gives exactly the same feeling as reading this book. It baffles me that anyone would like it

>>85301380
no the future is really shit, iirc one section had the main character getting on a bus which had armed guards to protect from bandits

>>85297613
The motorcycle from Akira, neat.

>>85301380
It's presented as dystopian in the shallowest way imaginable: faceless corporations run the world and want to milk it for profit, and the villain of the book is one of these corporations.
The videogame of the book is considered a place of freedom because the cunt that designed it gave the middle finger to all corporations, so the whole book basically boils down to a highschool boy outsmarting all the corporations (and by "outsmarting" I mean knowing more epic 80s pop references).

The book is frustrating because there's actually something cool behind the concept of a dystopia where everyone escapes reality in a VR simulation. I legitimately liked reading the parts about the kid having to climb around in his slums, jerry-rigging his setup with scrapped electronics and having to hide it to keep it from getting stolen. It describes a bus ride where everyone just immediately plugs into their headsets when they sit down and never interact with anyone else.

This concept goes fucking nowhere. The entire book does everything possible to escape "the real world" and focus 90% of the content on his video game adventures. Anything ironic about this was a complete accident or the author legitimately likes his video game world better than the real one.

>>85302110
Simply put, is because it allows them to associate their persona with a particular culture.
This book has been marketed as a book for nerds, so simple people reading it, will catch most of the references on it -because they're fucking basic and pop-, and since the book in their eyes is a book for nerds, they'll make the association that they must be nerds, since they got most of the things the book was talking about.
Combine this with the fact that nerd culture is now cool, and there you have it.

Like at the end of the trailer they are having a race with their own imagined vehicles. But who's setting the speed of the vehicles? are they all just being nice and limiting themselves to normal speed? Why not imagine a rocket car that does the race in 1 second

>>85300018

>Jurassic Park

So he's got 3 films, each of which were ruined by him making nostalgic sequels. I also enjoyed Hook but Spielberg went back said HE didn't like it, so that doesn't exactly count in his favor.
Spielberg is a hackfraud who "makes" pretty CGI nostalgia moments, his real good quality is that he pays (or rather, used to pay) good people to animate his films.

It at least had fun fight scenes and Beck contributing some songs. This will suck way more than Scott Pilgrim.

Ok for all of you bookfags.
Is there any chance spielberg may have improved this to give it any sort of meaning?.

Is it salvageable or is exactly what the trailer implies (AKA a bunch of pop culture shit thrown together with CGI to appeal to nerds).

The fact that Spielberg has been making trash for years makes me very sad too.

Of course. If you extract the pop references from Scott Pilgrim you have a story with likable characters, development, and progression.

If you didn't like Scott Pilgrim I can say that this movie will make you miss it.

How does he move around in the VR world if he lives in a cramped motorhome half the size of my bathroom?

Later in the trailer it seems you need as much space in the real world as you need in the virtual world to move around. How does it work?

My main problem with modern CGI in movies is how the director feels the need to have the camera SWISH and SWOOSH and ZIP and ZAP and have SHIT FLY IN YOUR FACE all the fucking time
