This guy likes disaster films eh! I bet the story is [LIFTED], but I'll probably see it and buy it just for the amazing special effects.

After I. Day i had little faith in him, so I've never bothered sitting down to watch any of his other films the whole way through, but it's been a long time since I was amazed at SFX

Can't watch streams at work. Is this the touted remake of 'When worlds collide'?

Certainly looks it, in fact I thought that while watching the trailer. Apart from that it looks like Day After Tomorrow chucked in a blender with Independence Day and Deep Impact. Oh, and John Cusack's in it which is not usually a good sign....

Did you know that I went to the cinema and slept through parts of Independence Day? I think I saw the White House going up, and then there’s a blank bit, and then Data from Star Trek appeared. I haven’t been that bored at the flicks before or since.

Doesn't look particularly mindblowing, but could be interesting seeing how they're going to escape from the end of the world ^_^

So you missed the bit where Will Smith finally sends the film down the toilet when he punches the alien? "Welcome to Earth." Rent the DVD and watch it again. You owe it to yourself!

I haven't seen a Cusack film that didn't bore me since Con Air - and does anyone else think Grosse Pointe Blank is one of the most overrated films ever?

Gah. If I want to watch two hours of expensive CGI I'll go watch a Pixar movie, at least they're half decent.
'When Two Worlds Collide' is a classic B-movie and a remake of it is going to go about as well as the remake of 'The Day The Earth Stood Still'. Aside from the point that astronomy was a bit less advanced when the original was made - these days it's rather unlikely we're going find another planet sneaking up on us.

Umm, no. John Cusack's freakin awesome! I won't be watching this trailer though, because Roland Emmerich is best experience at the movies.

I've attempted watching the remake about 4 times. I keep falling asleep before anything interesting happens. Keanu sucks in that film. He doesn't say 'Excellent', 'Woah' or 'Triumphant' nearly enough to keep my interest in his possibly alien character. One big yawn fest from what I've seen so far.

I haven't seen a John Cusack film in recent years where he hasn't been having/looks like he's having a mid-life crisis, though this trailer looks to improve on that
