Logline (probably): When two teenage siblings find an antique ViewMaster from their Grandmother's basement, they discover that it can transport the user into various worlds, both real and magical.

I know you're right and that's probably what the movie is but it would be a lot funnier if they instead just ripped off John Carpenter's They Live. Put on the ViewMaster to see the truth kids!

So basically Jumanji, but probably worse

I had to double check where this was posted. At first I thought this was theonion community.

Double something something.... I feel like there's a pun in there, just can't make it out.

If they have an interesting angle for the film it could be good, like The Lego Movie or Barbie. No idea what that could be though.

This seems more like the Trolls or Emoji movies for the basic subject matter.

[–] jdeath@lemm.ee 1 points 4 weeks ago

but far worse than even those! at least those have faces

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe some plot based on a true story that focuses on the impact of the toy, à la Tetris (2023)?

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

I can't wait for the Etch-A-Sketch movie!

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

This has got to be one of those movies that's only made to be a tax write-off.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You think it's cheaper to spend money doing a tax write off of some of the spent money, than to not just spend the money in the first place?

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 1 points 4 weeks ago

Well then you tell me why Steven Seagal has made 50+ movies

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Is it gonna join the Transformers films like G.I. Joe was hinted at?
