Okay, so they’re not ALL fighting clips. There are a couple of just talking clips. A couple of kissing clips. And a couple of negotiating clips. But yeah, there is one or two that involves actual fighting. Robot fighting!

A Terra Nova Review, or, Why The Teenage Kid Gotta be so Predictably Annoying?
Dear Hollywood: despite what you may think, not every teenage boy out there is an annoying little prick suffering from uncontrollable, mysterious teen angst. And certainly not after you’ve sent him a gazillion million years into the past through a fancy schmancy time portal/gateway doohickey, and to a world surrounded by mysterious wonders, dino-friggin’-saurs, and the like.
New Real Steel TV Spot, Clip, and Featurette
Well? You feeling the real steel yet? Me, I’m kind meh on this. Looks like decent family entertainment, but when you’ve got giant robots doing battle, I kinda wish it wasn’t in the ring. You know, maybe on an alien planet or something. It just seems like all that big ass studio budget is going to such waste…
Run, Katniss, Run! First Hunger Games Teaser Trailer Arrives
I’m still not sure how sci-fi this movie is going to be. If they follow the book, it should be reasonably sci-fi, with invisible cameras, crazy hybrid creatures, and invisible jets and ships and what have you. Whatever the case, here’s your first teaser trailer for “The Hunger Games”. See? You didn’t even have to watch the MTShitty Video Awards to see it, too.
The Darkest Hour Trailer Debuts
I have to admit, I’ve been very curious about this Timur Bekmambatov-produced alien invasion film. The setting is novel — it has American kids in Moscow getting caught during the alien invasion. There’s something you don’t see every day. Check out the first trailer below.
Peter Berg’s Battle: Pacific Ocean — er, I mean, Battleship Trailer Debuts
Or more accurate, “Battleship: Transformers”? Well, it seems to have parts of “Battle: Los Angeles” and “Transformers” in there somewhere. Check out the first teaser trailer for Peter Berg’s “Battleship”, based on the game of the same name. Well not really, but you know, the title is the same and such.
Extended Comic Con Trailer and Posters for Andrew Niccol’s In Time
Been waiting for this for a while, so, without further delay, check out your first look at the trailer for Andrew Niccol’s latest and greatest, “In Time”. And look, cool posters, too!
First Teaser Trailer for John Carter of Mars
Or “John Carter”, as it’s apparently just being called now. Check out your first (surprisingly very muted) teaser trailer for the movie below. I don’t know, I guess I expected more “grandness”…
First Trailer for The Thing Prequel Thaws Online
Well, it’s here. In more ways than one, natch. The alien has arrived, and so has the trailer for “The Thing” prequel. It looks … well, it’s basically the same movie as the John Carpenter 1982 original, isn’t it? Except it has Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She’s cute.
A Quickie, Barely Proper Review of Torchwood: Miracle Day Pilot Episode
Let me preface this review/non-review by saying that I wasn’t really going to review the episode, since “Torchwood” is such a big thing in the sci-fi community right now that anyone and everyone will have already reviewed it once or twice and gotten their grandmothers involved. So, who needs one more review? As such, I’m going to eschew the proper reviewing format, and just go with bullet points. If you don’t like that, tough nuts. So, here goes.
New Poster, Images, and Trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Lots of new ape stuff to go ape over today. (See what I did there?) First of all, there is a new quad UK poster (via The Sun):
A new, emotionally charged UK trailer:
And eight new images from the movie, below.
New Poster and Three Clips from Super 8
J.J. Abrams’ super duper mysterious “Super 8″ movie (it’s about a monster and some kids and such) opens this Friday. In anticipation of that, Abrams and Dreamworks have released a new poster by artist Drew Struzan and three new clips, including a huge 6-minute clip from the movie.
Extended Trailer, Poster, and Images from SyFy’s Alphas
Gotta admit, this show has me intrigued, even though it looks a bit cheap in places. It premieres on Syfy July 11 at 10/9c.
First Look Trailers at Fox’s Time Travel Shows Terra Nova and Alcatraz
Fox recently held their upfront for the media this week, and two of the “first look” trailers that they revealed were for the Steven Spielberg-produced “Terra Nova” and the J.J. Abrams show “Alcatraz”. Now “Alcatraz” may not sound all that sci-fi, but the premise definitely is, and it involves time travel. Get a gander at extended trailers for both below.
