Just when you thought you had seen it all….

Justin Lin pulled the Fast And Furious franchise from the depths of diminishing returns and delivered five action packed features that audiences loved. When news broke he was stepping away from the franchise to focus on other efforts, we were more than a bit worried the series would suffer as a result. Lucky for the Fast and Furious crew, as well as their fans, Conjuring and Saw director James Wan stepped in to save the day. This weekend, we finally got to see what his take on the world’s favorite car based movie franchise will look like.

Opening with our beloved crew sitting in cars contained within a large airplane, the first minute of the Furious 7 trailer does not waste a single frame. We see our heroes, we hear a quick joke or two, and then they sky dive – while still in their vehicles – before landing on an empty highway and proceeding to engage in battle with an armored truck. It’s absolutely ridiculous and crazy awesome all at the same time. Everything that follows is equally over the top, but we’re not going to complain. You can view the film’s first trailer below:

I don’t think we need to review this trailer, but in case there is any doubt I’ll go ahead and share my thoughts:

The current synopsis for Furious 7 reads:

Continuing the global exploits in the unstoppable franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of Fast & Furious 7. James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series that also welcomes back favorites Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas Black. They are joined by international action stars new to the franchise including Jason Statham, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, Ronda Rousey and Kurt Russell. Neal H. Moritz, Vin Diesel and Michael Fottrell return to produce the film written by Chris Morgan.

Furious 7 opens April 3, 2015.
