Unstoppable (the movie about the killer train)

Postby mlsterben » Sun Sep 26, 2010 1:32 am

This movie looks ridiculous.

It's a train! It's going really fast! The brakes don't work! There's nobody on board! It's pulling volatile chemicals! It's going to vaporize anything it hits! It's headed straight for another train! The other train is full of children!

Plus, the marketers really missed an opportunity to play the famous Jay Ski song "C'mon N' Ride It."

I'll probably skip this one unless there's a damsel in distress tied to the tracks and the other train is carrying, in addition to orphaned children, the cure for cancer, proof of a higher power, treaties for world peace, Elvis, the missing chapters from the Bible, and an entire car dedicated to mimes and interpretive dancers.

I like how the poster is giant heads with little pictures of them trying to cross between two cars. Like the most dangerous thing on this train is going from car to car. I suspect many a red shirt will tumble to the tracks.

The movie could be great fun depending on how they approach it. If you look at it like a B movie or even like a new take on a disaster movie then it could be a good time.

My favorite was the line "We're comin' in too hot!"

Based on true events? Is that how they're selling this?

and the stereotypical angry black woman who is pissed at the fact that there's no brakes. Because, obviously, the fact that she's a black woman makes her "new to the company" and therefore completely unresponsible for the design flaw and allows her to criticize the faulty system.[/url]

How can Malcolm X & Captain Kirk make a bad movie?

This DOES look like a fabulously awful good time.

At least it didn't get called Speed 4: The Speedening.

At the beginning of the trailer I couldn't help but shake my head at it. By the end of it though it was something I actually want to see.

yeah... no thanks here either. I showed it to my wife with the intention of us making fun of it and she thought it looked good.

They need to work on the titles of these films if they want my attention.

Titanic. A ship that can't be sunk.... What can't be sunk is Leo's career.

Speed. A bus that can't go under 65... Something told me it would by the end of the film.

Unstoppable. A train that can't be stopped. Really? Something tells me it can be.
