Letterboxd Users Are Reviewing GTA 6 Extended Look Like a Movie

Letterboxd users are reviewing GTA 6's extended-look trailer on the social film platform as if it were a feature film. The 25-plus minute advertisement, officially titled Grand Theft Auto VI - An Extended Look, was published by Rockstar Games on August 28, 2026, after premiering on Netflix last week. According to a report by GameSpot's Evan Campbell, the social media site—which is built for journaling and rating movies—is allowing users to log the promotional video into their diaries. This has led to account holders offering up their two cents on the 25-minute advertisement, with many using the film database to post humorous reviews and satire.

Satirical reviews and leak jokes

GameSpot reported that reviews are already rolling in for Grand Theft Auto VI, albeit in an unexpected format. One of the most popular reviews logged on the site comes from user eddyburback, who assessed the advertisement as a movie release. The user wrote that the structure was a mess, the narrative was vague and confusing, and that it felt like a trailer instead of a movie. The review further commented that the animation looked like a video game and concluded that they would be embarrassed to release this film. To make sure readers knew they were joking, eddyburback added that the gameplay looked incredible for GTA 6.

Other top critiques on the platform addressed recent security breaches surrounding the title. According to GameSpot, another popular review stated that it was unbelievable the trailer starts with Cyberleek's execution. That critique refers to Cyberleek, identified as the unknown person or persons behind the ongoing GTA 6 leaks over the past couple of weeks.

Debating ads on Letterboxd

The inclusion of promotional material on Letterboxd also triggered jokes about the game's overall timeline and discussions about site policies. User Albert posted "GTA in Letterboxd before GTA VI," poking fun at the fact that a Letterboxd entry arrived before the game's actual launch. Meanwhile, user Atrius questioned the presence of commercial advertisements on a movie logging site, asking, "So we are logging ads now?" While memes and jokes dominated the discussion, GameSpot noted that not all users treated the listing as a gag, pointing out that user Stephanie Gillespie took the opportunity seriously to engage with the extended look.
