Too bad we get to see this disaster coming…it might be more pleasant if we never saw it.

Pompeii, trailer #2, poster #1

	Plot Summary: From IMDb: “A slave turned gladiator finds himself in a race against time to save his true love, who has been betrothed to a corrupt Roman Senator. As Mount Vesuvius erupts, he must fight to save his beloved as Pompeii crumbles around him.” Release Date: February 21, 2014

	Rating: C+ Commentary: It’s colorful, but vacant. Establishes the volcano, but doesn’t make it seem menacing.	Rating: C+ Commentary: A little more action heavy, but still unable to convey the reason the film exists in the first place. Setting romantic stories into historical events can work, but with a disaster like Pompeii, it just doesn’t make sense and the trailer does do a good job indicating how or why, though it does feature figures covered in soot. I guess that’s a good thing.
