Seeking a Friend For the End of the World trailer – Armageddon looks like quirky fun

Posted in Trailers by - February 10, 2012

Just  yesterday we showed you the poster to Steve Carrel and Keira Knightly’s oddball “end of the world”, romantic drama. Well now just a single day later, and the trailer has been released.

And to be quite frank, I can’t remember when last the apocalyptic end of mankind looked this charming.

Against all odds, that actually looks like it could be a charming and fun film. The unique concept should hopefully help elevate the story above usual rom-com trappings, while Keira Knightley appears to be far less annoying in here than anything else she’s been in in recent memory. Maybe it’s the new hair.
I would like to comment on how Steve Carell is starting to get typecast in this type of role, but the thing is that he is actually really good at it. He is becoming the King of Dramedy, it would seem.

Hello ladies. Look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped watching horrible Michael Bay movies, he could be as much of a hardcore film geek as me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on a South African movie blog with the man your man could be as big a film geek as. What’s in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It’s a warm box of freshly popped popcorn, butter melted awesomeness wafting in your face just like you like. Look again, the popcorn is now diamonds. Anything is possible when your man stops watching Michael Bay movies. I’m on a horse.

    That looks absolutely fucking brilliant. Granted, I can already spot the ending from a mile off, but I’m really tired of End of The World movies that are about the heroes who save the world and there’s lots of explosions, shouting and running.

    This looks like something of how the Everyday Joe would deal with the Apocalypse and it seems miles fresher than a blockbuster approach
