“Transcendence” (Movie Trailer)

Incredible trailer to say the least. Keep telling yourself, “It’s just a movie. They can’t do that in real life.” Sure. But do me a favor before you get too comfortable with that assertion. Google “yadabyte” for me. Remember when kilobytes and megabytes were “big” to us? Like in the 1990s? We could be closing in the big tech that could drive ‘the singularity.’

And leave it to Morgan Freeman to be [part of a group] ‘playing God’ in a movie. Hahaaa. Looks like a powerful story though. Check out Johnny Depp the super genius in the lead role in “Transcendence” (due out in theaters April 17, 2014) above.

Dawn of The Planet of The Apes (Trailer)

Ceasar is back this Summer 2014 with ‘Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes’ which is the sequel to the modern day remake classic ‘Rise of Planet of The Apes’ in 2011.  Look for ‘Dawn of The Planet of The Apes’ July 11, 2014….

“A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.”Dawn Of Apes

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Trailer)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hits theaters this summer on May 2nd & although I’m interested in seeing the film I hope it doesn’t drown in too much CGI. I also noticed from this trailer a few hints that possibly one of the villains in the upcoming movie will be “The Rhino” which one of my personal favorite adversaries to Spider-Man.  From the glimpses I peeped from the trailer, it appears The Rhino could be a mechanized villain. I hope the creators don’t ruin The Rhino’s appearance in the film although actor Paul Giamatti is an excellent choice of talented actors rumored to be playing the role. Jamie Foxx stars as Spidey’s nemesis Electro in the upcoming film & there’s some sort of secret event about to go down in Times Square on New Years Eve according to the countdown timer on the ElectroArrives.com website.  The film directed by Marc Webb & starring Andrew Garfield returning as Spider-Man, finds Peter Parker picking up new clues as to why his parents left, rekindling his love for Gwen played by actress Emma Stone, & the return of his old pal Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan).   Things don’t get any easier when he’s also busy battling former foes & new bad guys.

Tom Cruise Stars in Summer 2014 Sci-Fi Film ‘Edge Of Tomorrow’ (Movie Trailer)

“The epic action of ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world. Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again. But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.” – Edge Of Tomorrow (In Theaters June 6th, 2014)

RoboCop (2nd Movie Trailer)

The movie marketing campaign has hit overdrive. Heavy movie promotion clip weaponry includes a Samuel Jackson ‘robo-phobia soliloquy, action sequences, bang-bang-shoot-em-up footage, and sci-fi tech exploding [virtually] off the screen. Above: Check out the 2nd trailer for the RoboCop 2014 movie.

Interesting angle: There seems to be some controversy about the look of the Robo-suit… lots of folks weren’t feeling the black sort of ‘Batman-like’ uniform look. Wonder what the hero will look like on the big screen.

Technology: Scientists at Harvard And M.I.T. May Have Actually Invented A ‘Star Wars’ LightSaber? (Video)

Get ’em, Yoda! Gotta love Star Wars’ lightsaber duels…

If I haven’t said it on here before, I will say it now: If you want an imaginary something made real, get the sci-geeks excited about it. They will get right on making it real. Case in point: MIT and Harvard have a method to herd photons (understood to have no real mass) and have them bind together. The resultant new type of matter, photonic matter, would essentially the beam that would be the blade of a lightsaber (like in the ‘Star Wars‘ movie). We’re not there yet, but this is a big first step! Read all about it by clicking the link below.

Robocop (Movie Trailer)

It’s a reboot of the sci-fi action classic. Robocop features a new robo-suit and some new faces (Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton). Ought to be good… even though we have to wait until 2014 to see it. Check out the trailer above.
