That same philosophy extends to the movie poster below, which we reported on last fall. This Coherence trailer doesn’t provide any answers about what the hell is going on, and that’s a good thing, all the better to make you actually want to buy a ticket. It’s all too common for trailers to casually reveal major plot elements that, at least theoretically, were supposed to be a surprise. I like that the trailer is compelling without actually spoiling any of the film’s secrets. Part cerebral sci-fi and part relationship drama, COHERENCE is a tightly focused, intimately shot film that quickly ratchets up with tension and mystery. On the night of an astronomical anomaly, eight friends at a dinner party experience a troubling chain of reality bending events.
Here’s the Coherence synopsis from the official website: It’s gathered some high praise from sites we respect, so we’re cautiously optimistic about this one. At this point he’s a big question mark for us, but we love to be pleasantly surprised, so let’s hope Coherence does the trick. Since you have no way of knowing it’s just a big frozen slushball, it’s got to mean something, right? That whole “comets will fuck you up” mentality seems to be at the core of the sci-fi thriller Coherence, which, among others, stars Nicholas Brendon of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame.Ĭoherence was written and directed by James Ward Byrkit, who previously worked as a storyboard artist on the Pirates of the Caribbean flicks, had a “story by” credit on Rango, and was at one point co-writing a new Fraggle Rock movie. But then, one night, suddenly there’s a new light up there. You look up at the sky and it’s always the same, every single night of your life. It makes sense when you stop taking your 21st century science education for granted. In the days of yore, back when people still used the phrase “in days of yore,” comets were objects of superstition, believed to be harbingers of dire things to come.
