Sci-Fi Poster Analysis

Guardians of the Galaxy

This poster shows the four main characters in the film, the 'Guardians'. It is very colourful but certain aspects of the poster stands out such as their costumes, the sky and Gamora's skin and hair. The bright colours show the audience that it's not a dark scary film and that it actually shows it's a fun film for people to watch. The main actors names are at the top of the poster and are in a bold font. The title of the film is a bright colour and also looks worn out and rusted.

Inception

The Inception poster has a blue overlay over it to give it a cold feel to it. The main title is large, bold and red which signifies that it is mysterious. The tagline is near the centre of the poster and the main actor is above all the other main stars and then below that is advertisement of another film and shows that the director is recognisable. The imagery in the poster is a lot different to normal Sci-Fi posters as it gives you clues of what the film is about and that it is strange because part of the city is being moved over them. The main stars are all looking around the poster in a clueless way and are on a small scale compared to the rest of the poster. 

Pacific Rim

 The Pacific Rim poster has a blue and orange overlay, the main Jaegar (robot), Gypsy-Danger is the largest object on the poster and has a light shining around it, the other Jaegars are beside it in action. Gypsy Danger is the most colourful object in the poster and shows how large it is by making it walk in the ocean.The title is in large bold letters with a colourful orange rip behind it. The actual camera shot is looking up at them to also show us how large they really are.

Looper

This poster has the two main stars at the front (Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Bruce Willis) with these strange little pieces coming off them and the city below them which links to the story of the movie as Bruce Willis is the future version of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and they inter-wine into one story. It has a blue overlay because it is a Sci-Fi movie giving a futuristic look. The title of the film is widely spaced which could show the space between their lives.

Edge of Tomorrow

The edge of Tomorrow poster has got the two main characters at the front (Tom Cruise & Emily Blunt) in a war zone from the movie with futuristic helicopters falling from the sky. The title is in a large bold font and the "Tomorrow" is red and not a silver colour which links to the movie because he dies and repeats the day. The main stars names are above the title in large text to show the dominance these two actors have compared to the rest.
