Ray Gunn | Official Trailer #2 | Netflix

What did you think?

Flying motorcycles and a one-eyed detective partner are futuristic enough, but Netflix's Ray Gunn trailer has viewers thinking back. Some compare its look to obscure early-2000s animation; others reach for Blade Runner and The Incredibles to describe its mix of noir, retro design and science-fiction spectacle.

That conversation gives the week's most-watched new upload something beyond its roughly 3.5 million views. Brad Bird's private investigator is hired to protect singer Venus Nova, whose "Innocent Tour" comes with decidedly less innocent complications. Car chases, assassination attempts and a city full of corruption follow. His alien partner Ira supplies the practical assessment: "We should ask for more money."

Viewers are also connecting the film with Bird's earlier work, particularly The Iron Giant, Ratatouille and The Incredibles. The trailer names a voice cast including Sam Rockwell, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Waits and Matt Berry. The film reaches select theaters December 4, before Netflix on December 18.

Across seventeen uploads, the slate stretched well beyond that crooked future. Emily in Paris teased its final season, while PLANESWALKER offered a first glimpse of its Magic: The Gathering adaptation. Those two join Ray Gunn as the channel's busiest videos right now. Documentary trailers added a different register: Jean-Michel Basquiat promises family memories and rarely seen work, while The Baddest Speechwriter of All centers Clarence B. Jones's account of helping shape civil-rights history.

Netflix added subscribers over the week even as its daily viewing ran below its usual level. That slower daily rhythm also appeared at Prime Video and BBC. For Netflix, though, the new slate's clearest audience talking point was remarkably specific: what era does Ray Gunn's future remind you of?

What viewers say

This really feels like one of those obscure early 2000s movies.

This is basically Blade Runner + The Incredibles. I'm so excited.

That 50s retro aesthetic mixed with sci-fi mystery is everything I didn't know I needed today

If it’s from the same person behind The Iron Giant, Ratatouille, or The Incredibles... it’s a MUST-WATCH.
