On January 12, I
saw a trailer for the new RoboCop
film for the first time and I gasped and my jaw dropped.
I had to cover my mouth closed with my hand to keep myself from
breathing loud so I can hear the voice over. That’s how excited I
was. I realized this was the RoboCop movie I was waiting for after
seeing the original one two years ago.
I am very excited
about this. So excited!
I know there was a
second and third film, but I will have to see those later, or not. So to see a new RoboCop movie released this year…it’s as thrilling to me as when I
found out about the I, Robot film in
summer 2004. That previous year I read Isaac
Asimov’s collections Robot Dreams and
I, Robot during and after my senior
year of high school. So of course, you
may imagine how psyched I was to watch a movie based on the story collection.
Joel Kinnaman is
the new RoboCop and he looks awesome! By
now, I’ve seen the two different trailers for the movie enough times that I
even have a favorite part of the movie ad, like the part when RoboCop lands on
the ground and then stands up, looking so bad-ass! And then, what’s with the black paint
job?!! I don’t remember that happening
in the original movie, but as this is a reboot of the RoboCop story, I am very curious to see what the darker suit will
mean. I read the article about Joel Kinnaman’s RoboCop in the past Sunday Daily News, and now I have a better idea
on when this black paint job is going to happen. It is interesting, interesting indeed. I wish I can say why, but I don’t want to be
misleading just in case I’m wrong or inadvertently spoiling anyone. I gotta see this for myself, you know?
The RoboCop reboot film will be released today. I won’t see it today, but I’m
so excited about it I’d like to see it soon after! Did I mention I was excited?
I have a bit of an itch to write my own review of RoboCop 2014, and if I do pursue this task I may have to wait at least two weeks after its release in theaters to post it on Cybernetic Dreams. As the film will be dealing with morality and ethics I am bound to have something to say about these in response/reflection after viewing the film. In the meanwhile I will try not to read other reviews of the film, although if there is a source or two I admire I might mention what they say and credit them to further illustrate my points.
Should I watch the
original one again too? I’ll have to
rent it somewhere (iTunes may be my hope because Blockbuster is gone and I am
NOT going to use Netflix gosh darnit!).
Who
else is excited about the new RoboCop?
