Don’t know what it is, but title renderings which invoke waxing/waning/eclipsed heavenly bodies as a substitute for the letter “O” just turn me off, in gut level fashion. It’s not awe-invoking or intriguing anymore, if it ever was. It feels cheap or desperate, especially for a movie not actually set in outer space. There was some TV series/project not too long ago which played the same card as the poster for Knowing, and I immediately lost all interest. Also, it may just be the taint of Andrew Niccol’s Simone, which dropped a bunch of 1s and 0s in its title and advertising campaign, but I can do without the numeral as well. Mainly, though, it’s that eclipse that has me inwardly sighing.
Totally agree!
The eclipsed poster sun is actually waaay down on the list of this movie’s problems
