SyFy movies aren't known for quality – unless you happen to think the SHARKNADO films were snubbed at the Oscars or something. However, the new trailer for their upcoming film REALIVE looks like the company is trying to be a bit more prestegious with their latest project. I mean, this one at least looks like a movie (that water vortex scene looked nifty) and the concept sounds pretty interesting. Here's the official synopsis:

Marc (Tom Hughes) is diagnosed with a disease and is given one year left to live. Unable to accept his own end, he decides to freeze his body. Sixty years later, in the year 2084, he becomes the first man to be revived in history. It is then he discovers that the love of his life, Naomi (Oona Chaplin), has accompanied him this entire time in a way that he'd never expected.

Honestly, like I said, that's not a bad premise, and the film does indeed look stylish. I mean, it's not Asylum garbage at least, and SyFy has made great things – like BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and THE EXPANSE – so it's not like it's impossible for this to be good. I will say some of the scenes looked to be overly melodramatic, and I'm a bit worried about it fulfilling its promise, but I'm slightly optimistic.
