Good Decisions
Well, most often, you can't go wrong with Tom Hanks. Throw in director Tom Twyker and the production team that made The Matrix and you have an interesting combination of some pretty talented people. Very happy to see Ben Whishaw in something, too, who I loved in Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. Plus, you have a number of other very dependable actors, like Susan Sarandon and Jim Broadbent. It's based on a substantial novel with a lot of themes embedded in it.
Bad Decisions
Is it wrong of me to throw Halle Berry into the bad decision camp? I just don't think she's a good actress and a story this big doesn't lend itself well to actors who can't expand themselves much. It's nice to see a romance with someone closer to her real age, but this even looks awkward (maybe it's Hanks and his hair). As gorgeous as this trailer is, it feels all over the place and a bit scattered, which is bound to scare audiences off.
Jury Still Out
Another philosophical film, seemingly following in the footsteps of movies like Tree of Life and The Fountain. It feels weighty and deep, even if it looks to have an unnatural amount of CGI in it. I'm just not sure if even Tom Hanks can pull people into the theater unless the first shortened trailer focuses more on the interpersonal side of it, rather than the sweeping epic aspect.
