That does look awesome! It's like they distilled EVERY ACTION MOVIE EVER into pure explosivey goodness.
I suspect that they're going to find out that it was all orchestrated by a powerful person or shadow group on earth, and wasn't just some random, crazy inmate who got really lucky. Political intrigue ensues.

So what? I never said it didn't look formulaic. I just said it looked flipping awesome. I'm not going into it expecting some Oscar-winning masterpiece. I want to see shit blow up.
Sorry, I didn't mean to demean it - it does look awesome, and the trailer makes me want to see it.
The idea is interesting.
I'm a big fan of actions movies, so saying it's distilling action movies is, to my twisted thinking, a good thing.
If I see this I'm going to replace this guy with snake in my head while watching.

Great minds, dude, great minds. I totally expected the exact fucking thing and was a little disappointed it wasn't.
Yeah, I was totally expecting somebody. The main guy, at least in the trailer, seems a little generic. I think this movie really needed a unique protagonist, ala Snake or John McClane.
Pretend he's Leonard from Memento?
But I agree with others, it did seem when they were introducing the person that it was going to be a pre-established character.
I love Guy Pearce but it's a little weird to see him not looking like he hasn't eaten in 2 years. That movie trailer has just about every cliche there is in it.
In a woooooorld.....the most something of something than can never be something.....until now....now he's the only man that can something before the something SOMETHING!

Ehhh...pass.
But he's a LOOSE CANNON!
Ha, i just thought about how it would have been cool if it was, but i knew it wouldn't be... pessimism wins again...
It's a prison riot movie...IN SPACE. How can you go wrong with that?!
My first thought upon seeing him was, who gave the vegan a cheezburger?
I kinda need a little more than that, really.
Same here. The trailer is certainly cool, but as I said in the Phantom Menace thread, with my gift cards and free tickets I can see only a handful of movies this year. Lockout isn't make the cut in year with such heavyweights as we're getting this summer.
*sigh* Okay. Deep breaths, Nick.
MindDetective, may I call you Mind? Come have a seat over here. Put up your feet. Let the hot girl behind you give you a good, relaxing shoulder rub. That's it. Relax.
Now, I don't think you quite get what I'm saying here. See, it's a prison break movie...but IN SPACE. You get that, right? In space? Everything is more awesome when you add "in space" to the end. Titanic...in space (Doctor Who episode). Rebellion against an evil empire...in space. Sex...in space! (Sounds like my prom night.) You see? Everything is made infinitely awesome with "...in space."
Now, let's end this argument...IN SPACE.
(Heh, but seriously, I totally understand, man. I don't even know if I'll have the chance to see it, either, with all the other good stuff coming out.)
That's Shego and she's rubbing you out. Gangsta style.
True! But that doesn't mean it breaks the threshold into actually awesome. A turd is technically more awesome with whip cream on it (and in space!), but I still wouldn't want to eat it.
That's true. Treasure Planet was Treasure Island...IN SPACE - but that didn't turn out so well. Still, I think this might be fun, at least.
I had the same thought :\
Kurt Russell is a little old for the role I suppose but I think that he could have pulled it off.
maybe next time some one can do Star Wars, in SPACE!
