Heneral Luna 2015 official trailer Biographical Historical Epic adaptation of General Antoni Luna's Life portrayed by John Arcilla

What is there to say about the Heneral Luna official movie trailer? The Heneral Luna trailer is simply intense and promising. There is somewhat fire ignited deep within me while and after seeing this trailer which I can't really exactly point my fingers to. Was it because of the powerful portrayal of John Arcilla as the controversial First Republic War (National) Hero? Was it because of the solid cast featured in this biographical film? Was it due to the film's cinematography? Was it because of the good musical score? Was it because of the set designs, costume, and overall production value? Was it because of all of this was present in a film which caught me off guard as we no longer have seen this kind of element in mainstream Filipino films produced nowadays?

It has been quite a while since we were last presented with a historical drama with over all superb quality. By now you probably started noticing that I liked the Heneral Luna official trailer. This is enough hype to build for me which is somewhat dangerous, as expectations will only lead to disappointment. But I have high hopes that this film will deliver. I will be seeing this when it hits the theaters and will give you a review. Finally a film that is actually worth spending money to. Let's just hope that it will deliver in flying colors.
