— Mission Impossible: Fallout<\/i><\/b> — I love it that the MI series is getting so meta that the fact that Ethan keeps being betrayed by his own country isn’t seen as a weakness in the series, but as a new plot point to exploit. Those who like MI films (which I admit I kind of do) will find this the sort of thing they like (whether or not they go to see it in a theater).<\/p>\n

— The Meg<\/i><\/b> — It’s Jaws, with a bigger CG budget, as a prehistoric giant shark does just what you would expect it to do with an underwater lab and a beach community. Ho-hum.<\/p>\n

— Adrift<\/i><\/b> — I kept waiting for the prehistoric giant shark to eat the sailboat that the beautiful young couple are stranded on in the middle of the Pacific. Based on a true story (sans giant shark). Not my cuppa.<\/p>\n

— Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom<\/i><\/b> — Those who like the Jurassic movies will likely enjoy this. The previous trailers made it look like it was about rescuing dinosaurs from the island (which has abruptly gone all volcanic). The new trailer indicates that things are a bit more sinister than that.<\/p>\n

— Venom<\/i><\/b> — I have never been a fan of Venom in the comics, but this looks pretty good. The trailer gave enough story to hook me without telling the whole movie. I suspect this is one I’ll stream eventually.<\/p>\n

— Incredibles 2<\/i><\/b> — I’ve already seen this trailer, but it remains good-looking. I am hopeful it will match the original.<\/p>\n

— Solo<\/i><\/b> — Same trailer as before, but I’m still liking it. The actor does look a bit “prettier” than Harrison Ford, but I’m willing to put up with that.<\/p>\n

So seven trailer, with just the last two likely theater revisits. Not bad.<\/p>\n
