Movie Preview: Zemeckis strips years off Hanks and Wright for a tale of love through the ages, “Here”

Robert Zemeckis was always a sort of sneaky effects innovator. “Back to the Future” to “Polar Express” “Cast Away” and “Forrest Gump” all had innovative approaches to practical effects, and digital ones.

Making his “Gump” co-stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright years younger for this time-lapse fantasy is his latest trick.

The cast, the presence of Yes music, the upbeat and hopeful “I’ve Seen All Good People” in the trailer give off a strong “boomer” vibe.

Paul Bettany, Michelle Dockery and Kelly Reilly also star in a story embracing the magic of a place for different families in widely different eras, people in love, present, in the moment, “Here.”
