It looks quite funny, a bit over the top funny, but funny nonetheless.
I would watch it.
And I think that any mature jokes that may be will blend in seamlessly, so as not to "offend" parents.

Gotta admit. I'm impressed with the cast. but Disney has the money to get the actors!

Of course this is allegedly a Disney production, which if true, means people will mindlessly flock to watch it just because it's Disney. See the annoying crapload of shows and movies aimed at pre-teen boys and girls as Exhibits A through Z.

Yea, High School Musical was the worse offender. I'm still trying to talk to Disney about doing a HSM: Columbine.

While Disney did give us Brittney Spears, they also gave us Jodie Foster and Kurt Russell.

Wait... isn't Lindsey Lowhan a product of Disney also?

I was expecting it to be five teenagers trained to fly like birds, which will somehow help them defend space, where 'flying' is kind of irrelevant.

It could be worse. There could be no Miley Cyrus and we would have to all focus on Jamie Lynne Spears.

Achy Breaky Heart was a deliberate and malicious action on his part. Miley was an accident.

Yea, but you're pretty much asking us to compare piles of shit. One of them being 3 feet tall, and the other 4 feet tall. At the end of the day, it's a pile of shit.

High School Shooting Musical.

Heh... that's nothing. Consider these:

High School Musical: College
High School Musical: Jobs
High School Musical: Retirement
High School Musical: Post-Death

Or alternatively (and incredibly further over the top):

High School Musical: World War III
High School Musical: Post-Apocalypse
High School Musical IN SPACE!
High School Musical: Ancient Times

And so on...

I am proud to say that I have never seen any of the High School Musical films. I can think of some horrible possibilities, though.

Disney/FOX: That 70's High School Musical
Disney/CBS: CSI: High School Musical
Disney/ABC: Dancing with the Stars: High School Musical

After all, Disney does like to turn its films into TV shows...

back on topic: I thought the trailer looked interesting, albeit somewhat juvenile. It won't be as good as the usual Pixar fare, but they do own Pixar now and it could turn out better than we expect. I am unfamiliar with whatever this movie may be based on, though. Some of you sound it's a beloved childhood memory being destroyed.

The Title of the film is the American version of a Japanese Anime series called Gatchaman.

Americanized (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076983/).

The team was referred to as G-Force.

The g could stand for gay. I mean, gayforce would not be terribly inaccurate for this film.

Disney likes to milk its franchises to death. I mean, who honestly likes Mickey Mouse anymore now that Disney has turned him into a laughing stock.

I would say the same for Nintendo's Mario, but the Mario spinoffs tend to be awesome. Especially Mario Kart. Pure awesome.

I watched that show back in the eighties, it was pretty impressive when I was a kid. I didn't understand everything, despite the subtitles. The action was pretty satisfying, though.
