‘2307: Winter’s Dream’ Trailer: A Sci-Fi Flick Described As “‘Mad Max’ On Ice”
It’s bold and risky to hype a movie by usingMad Maxto describe it, especially after the action masterpiece that wasMad Max: Fury Roadwas nominated for Best Picture. But that’s exactly what a new sci-fi movie called2307: Winter’s Dreamis doing, and once you watch the trailer for the movie, you’ll see that it’s at least accurate in terms of the style of the movie – but unfortunately, not the quality. However, it does look like it would be a fun discovery if it were sitting on the shelf of a video rental store.

Here’s the indie sci-fi trailer fromVimeo(viaFirstShowing.net):
The film doesn’t have anybody super recognizable, withPaul Sidhu,Branden Coles,Brad Potts,Anne-Solenne HatteandArielle Holmesamong the cast, but it’s the action that’s the star anyway (which is good since the acting could use some improvement).2307: Winter’s Dreamis on sale over at the Cannes Market during the film festival in France right now, so this might just be a sales trailer in order to pick up distribution. Hopefully that’s why the sound design for the sci-fi weapons doesn’t sound all that great.
While the winter desert setting makes good on theMad Maxon ice description, the story feels more like something akin toThe Chronicles of Riddick, but with a much smaller budget. There’s even some flares ofThe Thingin there, if only because of the cold climate and snow bases on display, but that’s another comparison that won’t do this new movie any favors. But maybe this is just a stepping stone for writer/directorJoey Curtis, who previously wrote the tragic romanceBlue Valentine, on the way to direct a movie with some money behind it.
2307: Winter’s Dreamdoesn’t have a release date yet, and it’s still trying to find distribution for now.
