People Are Reviewing The GTA 6 Extended Look On Letterboxd Like It’s A Movie
The GTA 6 extended-look trailer, which premiered on Netflix, has become the subject of humorous reviews on Letterboxd, a social media platform traditionally dedicated to cataloging and discussing films. The platform has enabled users to log the 25+ minute advertisement as if it were a feature film, allowing them to rate and review it using the same mechanisms used for actual movies.
This phenomenon has generated numerous comedic reviews from Letterboxd users who are playfully critiquing the trailer through a cinematic lens. One of the most popular reviews, from user eddyburback, humorously criticized the trailer’s “structure,” commenting that the narrative was “vague and confusing” and that it “felt like a trailer instead of a movie.” The review also noted that the animation looked like typical video game graphics.
The trend highlights an interesting intersection between gaming culture and film appreciation, demonstrating how audiences creatively repurpose platforms and formats to engage with gaming content. By treating a video game advertisement as a legitimate film entry on Letterboxd, users are making a lighthearted commentary on the cinematic ambitions of modern video game marketing while also extending the social experience of discussing games beyond traditional gaming platforms.
