G-Force

Spoiler:
It’s a mix of live action and animation and it’s about a covert government program to train animals to work in espionage. Armed with the latest high-tech spy equipment, these highly trained guinea pigs discover that the fate of the world is in their paws. Tapped for the G-Force are guinea pigs Darwin (voice of Sam Rockwell), the squad leader determined to succeed at all costs; Blaster (voice of Tracy Morgan), an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude and a love for all things extreme; and Juarez (voice of Penelope Cruz), a sexy martial arts pro; plus the literal fly-on-the-wall reconnaissance expert, Mooch, and a star-nosed mole, Speckles (voice of Nicolas Cage), the computer and information specialist


Great cast!

Re: G-Force

From the title, I was expecting a live action remake of my favorite childhood cartoon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoO5H_UKCrw

Re: G-Force

A lot of people are getting this movie confused with the cartoon. Hopefully, this trailer clears up the confusion. I will give this movie a shot. I have to admit, I laughed out loud at a couple of those lines.

Re: G-Force

Apprarently the 3-D was done in post (2-D to 3-D conversion) and I have to say from the 3-D trailer I saw it didn't look too impressive. Maybe I'm biased, but I prefer movies to be shot in 3-D, not converted later.

I'm trying to think of how this could look worse...

Still thinking.

Re: G-Force

I had a pet guinea pig growing up, so the trailer made me chuckle. Guilty as charged I supposed. One thing that stood out to me was that Jerry Bruckheimer is producing this movie. This is his first 3-D film, so that has to be worth something. You can't look at this picture and think that kids won't just eat this up!

Re: G-Force

This is going to be like a cast full of Rhino which will get Disney tons of money at the Box office.

Just saw the trailer, I thought it was a very elaborate joke.

It certainly helped my confusion -- as to why they're making a guinea pig movie and not a Battle of the Planets movie instead.

Re: G-Force

I'm going to see it. It's got Tracy Morgan, Sam Rockwell, Will Arnett, Bill Nighy, and Zack Galafanakis. And the trailer didn't look wholly awful, which is more than I can say for most kids movies.

Re: G-Force

Suprmallet-- That is kinda my view point on it too. I saw Will Arnett and instantly had a smile on my face. I love that Penelope Cruz is also in this. You left her out!

Re: G-Force

I wanna hate it. I really do. Especially since when I first heard of it, way before the trailer, I thought it was a movie based on my favorite cartoon. Someone here corrected me and then some months later the trailer showed up, Still, the trailer didn't make me cringe as much as I thought it would and then there's the Bill Nighy factor.

I don't think she's much of a draw for a comedy, but you're right that she is in it.

Yeah, when I saw the trailer in the theater I found myself laughing a lot more than I wanted too.

I think her voice is so distinct that it will add to the movie. She definitely fits the character of "Juarez (voiced by Penelope Cruz) – Sexy martial arts expert". Haha. It will just be a new role and genre of film to see her be a part of. I guess that was my point.

Re: G-Force

Saw this movie tonight. Much funnier than I expected, although it does fall apart in the final act. It's nowhere near the level of classic Disney or Pixar, but it's far better than most of their recent output.

Nic Cage does a great job of disguising his voice as well.
