News - People Are Reviewing The GTA 6 Extended Look On Letterboxd Like It’s A Movie
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Reviews are already rolling in for Grand Theft Auto VI, but not the way you think. <a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/grand-theft-auto-vi-an-extended-look/">Letterboxd</a>, a social media site focused on journaling films, is allowing users to log <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6s-big-reveal-all-the-things-we-learned/">the GTA 6 extended-look trailer</a> that premiered on Netflix last week. That means people can rate the 25-plus minute advertisement like a movie and even offer up their two cents--with humorous effect.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the most popular reviews is <a href="https://letterboxd.com/eddyburback/film/grand-theft-auto-vi-an-extended-look/">from user eddyburback</a>, who wrote: "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." As if you didn't need to know they were joking, they added that the "gameplay looked incredible" for GTA 6. Meanwhile, <a href="https://letterboxd.com/looeewain/film/grand-theft-auto-vi-an-extended-look/">another top critique</a> notes that it's unbelievable "the trailer starts with Cyberleek's execution." That's a reference to the unknown person(s) behind <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-leaks-a-timeline-of-the-events-so-far/">the ongoing GTA 6 leaks</a> over the past couple of weeks.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Memes are addressed on Letterboxd, too, as <a href="https://letterboxd.com/albert_laro/film/grand-theft-auto-vi-an-extended-look/">user Albert</a> typed, "GTA in Letterboxd before GTA VI." Speaking of which, <a href="https://letterboxd.com/atriusss/film/grand-theft-auto-vi-an-extended-look/">user Atrius </a>questioned the GTA 6 trailer on the site: "So we are logging ads now?" <a href="https://letterboxd.com/stephenage/film/grand-theft-auto-vi-an-extended-look/">User Stephanie Gillespie</a> took the opportunity seriously and provided a strong critique of the presentation: "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." There's plenty more from Gillespie, too, who gave the whole thing one star (out of five on Letterboxd).</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Last but not least, <a href="https://letterboxd.com/321_movies/film/grand-theft-auto-vi-an-extended-look/">a user jokingly noted</a> that the extended GTA 6 trailer is "Netflix's Oscar contender for best short film." This hasn't been the only way the game has been referenced to the movie industry lately, either. Last week, people <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6s-jason-has-a-case-of-bane-itis/">compared Jason Duval's voice to Tom Hardy's Bane character in The Dark Knight Rises</a>, since they both incomprehensibly mumble.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We have compiled <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-all-the-biggest-takeaways-from-the-big-new-trailer-that-you-need-to-know/">29 big takeaways from the latest GTA 6 trailer</a>, as well as learned that <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-playthrough-can-last-roughly-80-hours/">a playthrough can take roughly 80 hours</a>. There also will be <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/grand-theft-auto-6-will-have-no-microtransactions-or-generative-ai/">no microtransactions in GTA 6</a> when it launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.</p>
