New extended TV trailer

[TheVileOne]

Not looking like **** for starters?

It looked better in Team America. Which is why this all so ironic.

This is basically Team America except the joke is on us this time.

 

[The Guard]

That's...incredibly vague, at best.

The tower itself is very nicely done. It's believable the way it comes down. I just don't like the "eating away" effect.

Yeah, that's pretty silly to me. I mean, let's face it... if someone shot a missile at the right spot on the Eiffel Tower, it would topple over. It’s just physics. Shooting some sort of acid missile at it that makes the base disintegrate just seems unnecessary.

 

[bunk]

Maybe it is unnecessary, I haven't seen the movie. I'm saying the CGI is well done.

 

[M.E.H.Z.E.B]

It's not acid. It may be nanobots which eat metal. Hence the eating away effect...?

 

[The Guard]

I suspect the green dust is supposed to be some sort of "rapid corrosion/disintigration" effect. It wouldn't show up as well if it was silver or brown, and would look like dust or something besides. Looking like nothing, just having the metal disappear, would be boring visually, so it's green instead.

The nanobots are intended to consume Paris itself in that scene, in order to show the world what McCullen is capable of. They start with the Eiffel Tower. It isn't just overtkill, it's symbolic, and a cruel, cruel way to destroy a city and its people, albeit a somewhat silly one.

The nanites are basically the McGuffen of the story, so it makes sense to use them in Paris instead of just firing a missile.
