The 'Man from the Future' LG ad will air during this year's Super Bowl, making it the first-ever Big Game commercial from the brand. The commercial aims to make a big impact, with a production by Jake and Ridley Scott that stars Liam Neeson.
The commercial promotes LG Electronics' OLED TV line and uses the theme of a "technological disruption" to set the tone for its 60-second ad spot. In the Tron-inspired sci-fi commercial, which seems like more of a fast-paced action movie trailer, there are mazes, motorcycles and enemies that attempt to get their hands on the brilliant OLED technology from LG.
Since the full-length Super Bowl commercial from LG was shared to YouTube just one day ago, it's already managed to rack up more than a million views.
