That part where Xavier is telling his older self that he doesn't want his future, that gave me the chills. Gosh, the trailer was awesome. I can't wait to watch this film!

The trailer is pretty poorly cut, though, that mid transition was particularly awful. Still, great seeing all the characters back, I know a great cast doesn't mean much on its own, but I'm hopeful they won't screw it up.

 

I was just going to come here to day exactly that. Especially when wolverine said "Isn't my strong suit" ..that cut was HORRIBLE!!!!... I could have done better editing... Also the music in the front part of the trailer reminded me of Kickass, the part where she runs in the room with the blinking strobe, and obviously the 2nd music is from the Perl Harbor trailer.

I liked the trailer but I didn't like the music they used. Also, the cut in the middle where Wolverine screams was really bad. I'm really looking forward to this movie and I'm sure they'll release an even better trailer.

This is the music from the first part:

 

 

Next to Inception horns, probably the most overused piece of music used in trailers, eveeeeeeer.

I see that Neowin is full of great filmmakers.

 

It doesn't take being a filmmaker to criticize a film (or in this case, really poor editing of the trailer and the unoriginal choice for the score), much more than it takes being a cook to criticize someone serving you a piece of **** for dinner.

You guys do know that this trailer was made months ago for a convention right? They basically wanted to show the public what they were working on. It's just a trailer, and the very first one. It's just a bunch of scenes that have been finished and were worth showing. At the time when they made the trailer, they didn't have much else to show I guess. Plus the VXF isn't even done yet so that's another reason why the trailer isn't movie quality. And they certainly don't have an original score yet that's ready to be used.

I'm just trying to understand why you guys are being so critical about a simple first trailer of a movie. It's not like this trailer is going to be the selling point of the movie. It's like trailers need to be short movies nowadays. I for one thought the trailer was pretty damn good for a first one and it definitely made me excited to see more!

I see wolverine has his adamantium claws again in this, which I guess makes sense if it's his physical body from before the last movie but now I wonder how the process works out?    How does this work with the timelines?   I mean knowing what he knows about his own life having gone back would easily change events.    Setup for another batch of X-men movies after this with redone timeline?

Well, if they first showed it at ComicCon, that means they had two months to improve on it. Anyway:

 

-no one said the trailer is really THAT bad or anything, just poorly cut, especially in the middle. I mean, that's objective, the transition is just too sudden, it's like it's missing a second or two before the switch.

-no one is criticizing the trailer for the lack of action or FX. I actually like this approach better, and I completely get the point behind not having any of the FX in it.

-the particular music theme is also, quite objectively, kind of overused in trailers and in movies, to the point it's fair to point that out. No one said "OMG worst trailer music evaaa," it's just that warwagon recognized it and I recognized the source.

 

I just didn't think it's really that great, and as I said, I'm actually really, REALLY glad they didn't share too much because most trailers today chronologically tell the story (just today saw the new trailer for The Wolf of Wall Street, same thing) in those two-three minutes, which is just awful. I will in no way base my opinion of the movie on it either, as I generally try to avoid trailers, because of the thing I just mentioned prior.

Well, it depends on which timeline the Wolverine with the adamantium claws is in, since that's hard to figure out from the trailer. If it's modern times, it can simply mean that X and Magneto helped him restore them.

 

If it's the past, it could mean they're ignoring the events of Origins: Wolverine, which wouldn't be novel, since First Class also retconned some of the things in it: Emma Frost is a girl in Origins, but is 30 in First Class, and Professor X is seen walking in Origins, but he gets paralized by the end of First Class. Either way, I think literally NO ONE would care if they completely ignored Origins: Wolverine, as that movie was one big giant turd.

 

What I'll say, tho, I didn't even consider the implications of this movie, because I never knew how they make the time travel happen (I thought they literally send someone back, not do a mind-hack of sorts). But I wouldn't mind if the end of it offered sort of a clean slate, in fact that could even be refreshing. I was never a big X-Men fan, but I liked X2, and I particularly enjoyed First Class, would love for them to somehow do some timeline mumbo jumbo and keep some of those characters and actors, or at least continue making stories in that time line as well.

They called it their "World Premier Trailer" ... that's usually a pretty big deal.

    • I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.
    • I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
    • A lot of uncertainty in this story. Might. Could. Maybe. The truth is we don't know what will happen to the universe in the end, or if it will end. Our own Milky Way galaxy will merge with the Andromeda galaxy in about 2.5 billion years, with our solar system as part of a new, larger cluster. I guess we'll have to and see how it goes down.
