New Green Lantern trailer explains the rules

By Ryan Fleming May 23, 2011

If you are a fan of the Green Lantern comics, then the information in the trailer below is going to be fairly basic stuff. But for those that aren’t in the know, it explains what exactly the Green Lantern Corps is, and what the framework for the world that the movie takes place in is.

The Green Lantern Corps are a group of intergalactic peacekeepers, chosen for the fearless natures to defend their sectors of space. Thousands are chosen and given power rings, which can manifest the will of the wearer into physical constructs, as well as give them certain abilities like flight.

If the voice narrating the trailer sounds familiar, that is because it is Geoffery Rush, who voices Tomar-Re, a CGI-based character that helps to train Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) in the way of the ring and the Corps. Joining Rush and Reynolds are Mark Strong, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard and Tim Robbins. Directed by Martin Campbell, Green Lantern is due out in 3D on June 17.

The best sci-fi movies on Hulu right now

Caesar rides with a grim expression on his face in War for the Planet of the Apes.

Among the new movies on Hulu in April, the only prominent additions to the lineup of sci-fi movies were The Fifth Element and Pacific Rim, both of which have been on Hulu before. But as long as Hulu has top-tier titles like War for the Planet of the Apes and the 2021 remake of Dune, then sci-fi fans should be very happy with their options.

You can find the rest of our picks for the best sci-fi movies on Hulu below. They include the original Alien, Blade Runner 2049, and more. Not all of these films on this list are owned by Disney or 20th Century Studios, so catch them while you can. They won't be around forever.
