The whole concept is too ludicrous for me to buy into, even in a movie. I can handle the most outlandish sci-fi, but this is too goofy.

The more you think about it, the more it falls apart. But it might just be a case that the trailer is simplifying the premise and cutting out key information.

while i get how silly the idea of the movie is, the Trailer had me at Ethan Hawke lol it looks like it will atleast be entertaining

"Yeah."

"Oh, okay."

If the Purge was real, i wouldn't fail. Human nature would see it through.

I'm glad I don't live in a state with an urban crowd.

This is something I hope more studios realize. Yes we can call out white guys chasing a black guy as racist but the fact is it can happen. Studios are quick to say, "Oh we cannot do that because it will be perceived as racist."

It can be considered normal for white guys to chase a black guy. What if they just so happen to be chasing him for non-racial reasons, maybe he robbed a store (and yes it is possible for any man, regardless of ethnicity to rob a store). Or what if the white guys are racist and it is a part of the story.

Just because the moviemakers have white guys chasing a black guy does not make it racist subtext.

They're doing a random screening of this Wednesday for press here and my friend writes for his college paper and is taking me!

This movie looks great, I hope I get a chance to see it in theatres but I doubt it.

I am afraid to say it, but this might benefit the U.S.A if it existed. Call me crazy.

MikeScott · 06-04-2013, 07:15 AM

I hope to see it this weekend. It's one of the few worthwhile wide releases in June. I might see The Internship theatrically, but other than that it's just The Heat I plan on going to. Hopefully some limited releases expand here.

Jennifer Lawrence Fan · 06-04-2013, 05:10 PM

I wanna see this on Saturday if i can.

You spelled man of steel wrong

Ill_Be_Back · 06-04-2013, 05:17 PM

I don't even know what to think of this film, it's a strange idea. I might go see it.

Foggy · 06-04-2013, 05:43 PM

I was going to see it, but it got such a lousy release over here, I've been struggling to get the time to watch it that fits into the showtimes as well.

Man of Steel looks good for a superhero movie. Usually they aren't my cup of tea. I'm not sure I'll see it theatrically (maybe) but will on Blu-ray.

On Monday several projects applied for a California tax credit. They went into a lottery and 28 were picked. One of them being The Purge 2. There hasn't been an official announcement for a sequel yet but it looks like it will be happening.

I like these futuristic alternate reality movies
sounds ridiculous like In Time but, you just need to buy the premise and you can enjoy the rest of the movie
