'Men in Black 3'

The theatrical trailer for “Men in Black 3” was released yesterday revealing additional scenes of the extraterrestrial, sci-fi comedy sequel.

From the trailer, “MIB3” looks like a good continuation of the franchise that we already love. The story follows Agent J as he travels back in time to 1969 to stop an alien from assassinating his friend Agent K, which would subsequently change the history of humankind. It isn’t clear what kind of secret will be revealed, or even who the alien villain will be.

However, I prefer movie trailers that don’t give away all the best scenes of a movie. From the short scenes in the preview, I think Josh Brolin was the perfect choice to play the stiff-faced K.

There are some skeptics out there that think the sequel is going in the wrong direction, saying MIB is not a time travel story, it’s an alien invaders story and it will leave holes in the plot. As long as the movie isn’t solely based on time travel and J and K are still policing aliens, it will be a good twist. Sci-fi movies are meant to be entertaining, not 100 percent logical.

Traveling back in time presents the opportunity for a new batch of celebrity aliens for the MIB agents to keep an eye on, one being Andy Warhol.

I’ll be there when “MIB3” hits the big-screen May 25 for the dark sunglasses, new secrets of the universe, and of course, the catchy theme song.
