Poll: Did You Like The 3D Superbowl Movie Commercials?
Filed under: Animation », Fandom », Trailers and Clips », Polls »
Prior to this year's Superbowl, a lot was said about the special 3D movie promo for Dreamworks' Monsters vs. Aliens. Not only was it making TV history, but it was the only commercial I ever planned ahead to watch -- going so far as to track down special glasses to wear while it was on my television. But was it worth it? The two 3D commercials aired right at the end of the second quarter, and the group at my apartment really enjoyed the experience, even if we weren't exactly dealing with new technology.
Was the 3D unbelievably awesome? No. But for folks who weren't even expecting that sort of interactive experience during the big game, they seemed to really like it. It was fast food 3D; quick, simple, marketed to the masses. They weren't out to blow any minds -- just get people used to 3D again by bringing it into their most personal spaces. As someone who's followed this latest burst of 3D-speak, of course I wanted a little more ... everything -- but the meal we were served was fun for the moment.
Question: How was it for you and the people in your home? Did everyone dig it? Hate it? Answer our poll below, then continue the conversation in the comments section. (Oh, and if you missed them, check out the two 3D spots after the jump.)
'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' and 'Star Trek' Super Bowl Spots Online

I may not have liked Transformers (as previously established), but two things are certain: I'm in the minority on that one (to the tune of something like a gajillion dollars), and all of youse would gladly pay to see more of the same, and if this leaked spot is any indication, that's exactly what you'll get -- alien robots that indeed transform, stuff blowing up, Shia LaBeouf breaking his hand and Megan Fox breaking my heart.
I can't promise how long this spot will stay up, or how similar the soon-to-come trailer will be when it's attached to the Michael Bay-produced Friday the 13th remake a week from Friday (which is getting some surprisingly good buzz, BTW).
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen allegedly rocks your face off on IMAX and regular screens come June 26th.
Additionally, check out the Star Trek (which hits theaters on May 8) Superbowl spot below.
Superbowl Spots: 'Year One', 'Land of the Lost', Pixar's 'Up' and More!

Tomorrow's much-anticipated Superbowl movie trailers are beginning to arrive online, with G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra and Race to Witch Mountain landing earlier today (and yesterday), and now we have new previews for Year One, Land of the Lost and Pixar's Up. First we have Year One, which I don't believe is a Superbowl spot because it's over two minutes long -- but it's definitely our first look at the flick, which stars Jack Black and Michael Cera as a couple of moronic hunter/gatherer's living during biblical times. Watch as both Black and Cera stumble across two legendary feuding brothers, played by David Cross and Paul Rudd. Produced by Judd Apatow, and directed by Harold Ramis, Year One hits theaters on June 19.
And the actual 60-second spot is here
Next we have Land of the Lost, starring Will Ferrell, Danny McBride and Anna Friel. Based on the classic TV show, Ferrell plays a scientist who's sucked back through time and into some alternate universe where all sorts of funky creatures reside. Personally, I think this one looks real fun -- c'mon, Ferrell and McBride together on screen can only produce awesomeness times twelve. It's in the rule book! Land of the Lost hits theaters on June 5.

We've shoved our way through several different waves of G.I. Joe character posters in order to finally arrive here with our first look at actual footage from the film -- and I must say, despite all the naysaying, it looks pretty damn rad. Coming Soon has just debuted the Superbowl TV spot for G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, and while it's wayyy too short to grab any strong indication of whether or not the flick will rock our socks off, what we do get is a nice helping of summer action -- complete with chases, crashes, fights and foxes. Starring Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Christopher Eccleston, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Byung Hun Lee, Sienna Miller, Rachel Nichols, Ray Park, Said Taghmaoui, Channing Tatum, Marlon Wayans and Dennis Quaid, G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra hits theaters on August 7. Check out the spot below or in HD over on Coming Soon. So ... whaddya think?
Star Wars: Superbowl Commercial and Freaky New Posters

It amazes me how much Star Wars junk pops up online each day, and while this post started out about one thing, it's now grown large enough to house a few galactic tidbits. First off, MTV landed a look at our first movie-related Superbowl commercial, and it involves the flick Race to Witch Mountain, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson ... and Storm Troopers? Check out the trailer below to see what I mean ...
Next up we have a trilogy of very cool Hungarian Star Wars posters for each of the original three films (courtesy of Superpunch), and tell me these don't freak you out. Especially the one for Empire Strikes Back, and those alien-like At-At Walkers -- or even the one for Return of the Jedi makes it look like some creepy underwater adventure ... or something. Check them out in the gallery below.
Also in the gallery below we have a poster for the book Deathtroopers, written by Joe Schreiber, which promises to be the first Star Wars horror story. Talk about creep-tastic, Shreiber added this about the book over on his blog: "I'm doing the final edits now, and I've tried to make it into exactly the kind of book you'd want to read if you were a child of the 70s who grew up with the original Star Wars trilogy and really digs horror in the vein of The Shining and Alien, with a little dose of William Gibson mixed in." Um, awesome? That's part of the poster up above; you can see the rest of it -- along with the Hungarian posters -- in the gallery below. [via StarWars.com and Slashfilm]
