Pretty cool but no dice for me. First I was intrigued but then they all looked the same. I saw a lot of these movies and tried to relate to the poster, but I could not. Then I thought , would I watch the movie if this were the poster on Netflix or Prime or at a theater and I knew I would not. It feels very much like abstract art, which I don't particularly enjoy.

I also missed the personal connection and the prompt I get from seeing human faces, actors I like and enjoy.

I’ve seen most of the movies and could only guess a few, usually by identifying some specific image in the poster and then deducing the movie, like the ghosts and library for Ghostbusters. Some did a better job of getting the look and feel down, for example I said Forest Gump for Field of Dreams, which are pretty similar.

Yes, I think I detect a definate bias towards a Picasso/cartoonesque style :-)

Even Dr Stangelove is in colour.

I think our jobs are safe for the forseeable future.
