This is peak cinema right here. The colour grading, shots, Shadow’s design and backstory remaining intact, Keanu as Shadow, Carrey back both as Robotnik AND Gerald, the action, the music, everything about this trailer slaps so hard. This is the best time to be a Sonic fan right now [for real],” said one fan.
