After an atrocious T3, it looked like the Terminator film series was suffering from classic franchise fatigue (seriously, THREE movies about the same exact plot?). But with the arrival of McG in the director’s chair, we’ve got a movie about the coolest part of the Terminator universe: the dystopian future that all these wacky killing machines are from. Not to be confused with three hot babes who work for a talking speaker.
With a killer film look, some great actors, and a NEW idea for once, Terminator looks like it’s relevant again, and ready to rock this summer’s blockbuster season… Check out this sweet preview with TONNES of scenes from the film!

Shatner’s out, Picard hasn’t been born yet, Odo is still a pile of goo and Janeway? Who’s that? J.J. Abrams has taken Star Trek into the realm of James Bond, Doctor Who and Batman, making Kirk, Spock and Bones larger than the actors who play them. Yes, he’s re-cast every single role in an attempt to breathe new life into one of the longest running film and tv franchises in history. We’ve got an exclusive first look at scenes from Star Trek, as well as interviews with J.J, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the all-new cast of the original series. Matt’s a HUGE trekkie, and Nat not so much, so there will be PLENTY to look forward to in our review next week!

With interviews with Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Ryan Reynolds, Daniel Henney and director Gavin Hood, the advanced preview clips we’ve got for you from Wolverine are high octane, funny, and classic Wolverine; just the thing to make Matt want to grow a mean set of mutton chops year round!
It’s been three movies of watching Logan share the screen with other mutants while we pretended he wasn’t the main character… and now we don’t have to pretend anymore. X-Men Origins: Wolverine centres on everyone’s favourite Candian Ball of Berserker Rage, and makes no apologies for it. With Hugh Jackman producing the film as well as starring, it looks like the man who might just know Logan best is shouldering a lot of the responsibility in bringing us his origin story well.

We’ve had our eye on this project for YEARS, literally, and we couldn’t have more anticipation and enthusiasm for this film if we tried. Mostly because we’ve been fans of the graphic novel for as long as we can remember, and the pressure couldn’t be higher for Snyder to deliver a truly great movie from the greatest graphic novel of all time.

Since we got all the goodies from Sony so late, we weren’t able to make a proper preview for Underworld, so we’ve incorporated a few words of wisdom from the cast and crew into our regular review style.
What did we think? Well, we knew what we were getting, not only because it’s a prequel and the story was already given away back in 2003, but because we know what to expect from an Underworld movie: Vampires and Werewolves taken deadly serious no matter how absurd the story. And we love it that way. Sure the second film in the series was an ungodly piece of crap, but hey, not everything is Lord of the Rings or Star Wars.

The behind the scenes goodies for “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans” were JUST released this morning, so we’re really under the gun to put together a preview in time for it to be worth watching. Instead, we’ll make a YourGeekNews.com exclusive sneak-peak video with two scenes from the movie included, and then we’ll make a more in-depth review next week!

Remaking a 50’s classic Sci-Fi film is a bit of an uphill battle after War of the Worlds disappointed us in 2005, but with Keanu as a convincing Space Alien, it looks like this one could be both topical and entertaining so far!

By popular demand, we went ahead and reviewed JJ’s new Star Trek Trailer… we’re not planning to make a habit of reviewing trailers, but it just so happens that the most revered graphic novel in history AND the most revered sci-fi franchise in history are BOTH coming to the silver screen in ways we never thought possible, and we simply must bow to powers far greater than our own. Having said that, I’m sure what Matt says as a two-decade-strong-yet-highly-critical-Trekkie will sit just as well with some as it won’t with others… while Nat just tries to look forward to a Karl Urban/Zachary Quinto film!
