GTA 6 Trailer Gets Mocked on Letterboxd as If It Were a Movie

Ever watched a game trailer and thought, 'That deserves a spot on Letterboxd'? Well, you're not alone. The GTA 6 extended look, which premiered on Netflix last week, has become the unexpected target of movie-style reviews on the social platform dedicated to film journaling. Yep, people are logging and rating the 25-plus-minute ad like it's the next Oscar contender.

One of the top reviews comes from user eddyburback, who hilariously pans the 'film' with: 'Structure was a mess, narrative was vague and confusing (felt like a trailer instead of a movie), animation looked like a video game. I would be embarrassed to release this film.' But just in case you missed the sarcasm, they added, 'gameplay looked incredible.' Classic.

Another popular critique references the ongoing GTA 6 leaks, with a user noting it's unbelievable 'the trailer starts with Cyberleek's execution.' That's a nod to the mysterious leaker(s) who've been causing chaos. And of course, memes are thriving: user Albert simply wrote, 'GTA in Letterboxd before GTA VI.'

Not everyone is joking, though. User Atrius questioned the very premise: 'So we are logging ads now?' Meanwhile, Stephanie Gillespie delivered a scathing one-star review, criticizing Rockstar's approach: 'Legitimately embarrassing. Where Rockstar used to do these fascinating trailers that talked you through tech and mechanics to really show why their games are interesting, this is just ... A bunch of limply edited-together footage of Grand Theft Auto.' Ouch.

Last but not least, one user joked that the extended trailer is 'Netflix's Oscar contender for best short film.' And this isn't the first time GTA 6 has crossed paths with the movie world—last week, folks compared Jason Duval's voice to Tom Hardy's Bane, because both are equally hard to understand.

If you're craving more, we've got 29 big takeaways from the trailer, plus the news that a full playthrough could take around 80 hours. And don't worry, there will be no microtransactions when GTA 6 drops on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. So, what do you think? Will you be logging the trailer on Letterboxd too, or is this just a bit of fun before the real thing?
