“We will find hope in the impossible…” Paramount has debuted the first trailer for Justin Lin’s Star Trek Beyond, the next Star Trek movie in the series restarted in 2009 by J.J. Abrams. This trailer has quite an interesting vibe, much more energetic and funky, with tons of wacky aliens and lots of weird action. I’m not sure I like where this is headed? The full cast includes all the returning Enterprise crew members: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Anton Yelchin. Plus Joe Taslim, Sofia Boutella, and Idris Elba. I really don’t like the music, but then again, they are playing this trailer in front of Star Wars and have to compete directly with that movie. I’m not that excited. You? ›››

StudioCanal has debuted a brilliant new teaser trailer for Ben Wheatley’s High Rise, the film adapted from J.G.

“We always knew they would come back.” Damn! This looks epic. 20th Century Fox has unveiled the first full trailer for Independence Day: Resurgence, the long-awaited sequel to the sci-fi hit Independence Day, which hit theaters back in 1996 (if you can believe it – 20 years ago!). Roland Emmerich is back in the director’s chair going even bigger and more explosive with this alien invasion sequel. The extraterrestrials that tried to take over the world before are back, and they seem really pissed, bringing a whole new arsenal. Jeff Goldblum, Brent Spiner, Vivica A. Fox and Bill Pullman return, joined by Liam Hemsworth, Maika Monroe, Charlotte Gainsbourg and others. This looks pretty good, better than I was expecting. ›››

“Celebration of the movies in 2015.” From Ant-Man to Creed to Mad Max to Star Wars, and everything inbetween. Another great retrospective year-end video to provide us with a enthralling look back at all the movies that graced the big screen this year. CLS Videos on YouTube has premiered their very first ever retrospective look back, this one titled 2015: The Year in Movies. We’ve featured a few of these videos recently, and they’re always exhilarating to watch, mainly because they remind me how much I love movies and they also point out all the movies I still need to see.

“There’s something big here.” IFC Films has debuted the new official US trailer for Romanian filmmaker Corneliu Porumboiu’s latest feature The Treasure. Porumboiu is most well known for his award-winning films 12:08 East of Bucharest and Police, Adjective, and this time takes on small time adventure when a peaceful man becomes obsessed with treasure buried in his garden. The film stars Toma Cuzin, Adrian Purcarescu, and Corneliu Cozmei. It premiered Un Certain Regard at the Cannes Film Festival and won the “A Certain Talent Prize” for the masterful narration. It seems to have a unique dead pan vibe with some wacky things going on in this man’s pursuit for treasure, which seems to be more about his own happiness. ›››

The Quest Begins… Focus Features has unveiled the first teaser trailer for Laika’s stop-motion animated movie Kubo and the Two Strings, a fantasy adventure inspired by “Japanese folktales and mythology, with lost civilizations, mystical origami, noble heroes, star-crossed lovers, and blood-curdling monsters.” The voice cast includes Matthew McConaughey, Charlize Theron, Rooney Mara, Ralph Fiennes, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, and Art Parkinson as Kubo. This teaser doesn’t reveal too much yet, but it does give us a glimpse at the characters and the world, and I have to say – this looks awesome, I am so looking forward to it. It looks like Laika is really pushing themselves, with huge sets and challenges like rain. Enjoy! ›››

“It’s true. All of it.” IMAX has launched another new featurette for Star Wars: The Force Awakens with a week left to go until opening. This doesn’t really feature any new footage that we haven’t seen before, so everyone trying to steer clear of any more footage before next week, this video is okay. The featurette is a reminder that The Force Awakens has at least one major sequence (on Jakku) filmed with IMAX cameras, and the entire cast talks about how the format enhances the experience. We’re so close, and as much as I still wish this was shot entirely on IMAX cameras, I’ll take one good sequence. “When you go to see a movie in that format you know you’re going to get something that is the best version of going out to the movies.” ›››

“Not all of us can control our powers…” Fox has unleashed the first trailer for Bryan Singer’s latest X-Men sequel, X-Men: Apocalypse, introducing the big bad villain Apocalypse – played by actor Oscar Isaac, who can also be seen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens opening next week. The huge cast for this includes all the young fresh new faces: James McAvoy as Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Olivia Munn as Psylocke, Rose Byrne as Moira, Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, Evan Peters as (fan favorite) Quicksilver, and Ben Hardy as Angel. Plus there’s Lucas Till as Havok, Alexandra Shipp taking over as Storm, and Kodi Smit-McPhee as Nightcrawler (who I’m glad is back). This actually looks a bit better than expected, with some very epic footage once Apocalypse arrives. Dive in! ›››
