    Best movie trailer ever?

    I don't know if they have awards for trailer creators, but whoever did the trailer for the new Superman should win an award. I'm not into Superman at all, but every time I see that trailer I want to go watch the movie. It's exciting and epic.

    What other trailers have made you want to see a movie you otherwise would not want to see?

          I couldn't agree more. I've never been a Superman fan but after I started seeing trailers for this movie I thought, "wow, I must see this." Reviews of early screenings have all said the movie is absolutely fantastic. IGN.com just gave it a 9/10 which is pretty damn impressive.

                          First i've seen that and yeah looks good. Wouldn't normally bother with anything to do with Superman.

                          Trying to think of some other trailers which have had the same effect. All i keep thinking of is comedies though...

                              I remember the trailer for District 9 being pretty awesome. Awesome enough to get me to go see it at the theater, anyway.

                                  Christopher Nolan taking a "comic" and making his own movies, seems to be a good formula, so I'm going to watch my first ever Superman movie when this comes out.

                                  I was never a fan of the old Batman movies, I thought they were idiotic. But Nolan's trilogy was bloody good! If he keeps doing these sort of films, I'll keep watching them.

Everyone loves and recognizes the iconic Superman music from the originals, but the new score definitely gives this movie a fresh sound and feel. That took some balls to do...

                                                              Alternatively, the monologue given by Jor-El (Russel Crowe) to his infant son is very similar if not identical to that given by Marlon Brando from the 1978 movie that was also reused in the Superman Returns film.

                                                              I also think it's interesting that this idea of crystals containing information and the ability to create structures was introduced in the '78 movie but entirely unsupported by the actual comics, yet has continued to play a role in the subsequent movies.

                                                                          Side note, Redshoe worked on that movie. The effects company he works for made the Superman suit.

                                                                          Do you know if he was involved with either of those?

I don't disagree, and it's possibly my favorite movie. I never look forward or get excited about upcoming movies, but I did with Prometheus, largely on the basis of its excellent trailer which suggested it would be as good as, or even superior to, Alien. Oh well.



                                                                                  Very creepy and atmospheric. Shows everything in the movie, but doesn't spoil it, and without a single word of dialogue. I think it would have scared the shit out of me if I'd seen it in a cinema in 1979.



                                                                                  If only whoever put that together ^^^^^ had made the full movie.

                                                                                  Every other trailer looks and sounds the same to me.

                                                                                  Originally posted by AllAboutCams

Doesn't look anything special to me, the movie or the trailer. Superman is also by far the most boring superhero. His super-power is that he can do anything and is indestructible. Yawn.

                                                                                          I agree this trailer looks amazing but so did the other 2. I love Zack Snider's style of movie making (Watchman - wow!) and Superman looks spectacular. I am also a big fan of the 1979 version. Even though some of the fx are bad by today's standards, some of them are great especially for the era.

                                                                                          Europa Report:

Finally a Science-Fiction movie with maybe, possibly, some actual SCIENCE in it! For those who don't know, Europa is one of Jupiters moons and is probably has the best chance in the solar system to have life. According to scientists, it has a high chance of having liquid water under all that nice thanks to tidal forces of Jupiter. Woo!

                                                                                                      The Alien and Prometheus ones looked very good though.

                                                                                                      I hadn't watched a trailer in over a year. Because I feel they always contain spoilers. I even remember where some trailers already seemed to contain all the action present in a movie. When I saw the movie and realized I'd already seen it all in the trailer, I was pissed.

                                                                                                      Back to not watching trailers.

I don't disagree, and it's possibly my favorite movie. I never look forward or get excited about upcoming movies, but I did with Prometheus, largely on the basis of its excellent trailer which suggested it would be as good as, or even superior to, Alien. Oh well.



                                                                                                                          Very creepy and atmospheric. Shows everything in the movie, but doesn't spoil it, and without a single word of dialogue. I think it would have scared the shit out of me if I'd seen it in a cinema in 1979.



                                                                                                                          If only whoever put that together ^^^^^ had made the full movie.

                                                                                                                          Every other trailer looks and sounds the same to me.



                                                                                                                          Ha. I love it when people get straight to the point like that. Doesn't look anything special to me, the movie or the trailer. Superman is also by far the most boring superhero. His super-power is that he can do anything and is indestructible. Yawn.

The Batman Reboot trailers were all awesome. I also went insane on the Abrams Star Trek 2009 reboot trailer; that was bad ass ("Fire everything!!!!!")

Finally a Science-Fiction movie with maybe, possibly, some actual SCIENCE in it! For those who don't know, Europa is one of Jupiters moons and is probably has the best chance in the solar system to have life. According to scientists, it has a high chance of having liquid water under all that nice thanks to tidal forces of Jupiter. Woo!
                                                                                                                                  Looked like 100 other movies to me (including Prometheus). And what is it with some character going somewhere, saying "Are you guys getting this", being ominously told to return, ignoring it (cos they're top scientists on an expensive mission so they have to behave recklessly) and sticking their face/hand/cock into whatever alien life form they find, followed by *scream*. Maybe it's just edited like that though.

                                                                                                                                  Sunshine is a good, intelligent science fiction movie, at least for about the first hour or so, before it unfortunately descends into a boring 'alien'-on-board-picking-people-off kinda thing.

                                                                                                                                                          I was never a fan of the old Batman movies, I thought they were idiotic. But Nolan's trilogy was bloody good! If he keeps doing these sort of films, I'll keep watching them.

                                                                                                                                                              It's very hard to get a very good science fiction movie these days

                                                                                                                                                              We're lucky if we get one good one every year, I think the last one that I really enjoyed was District 9. Can't believe that was nearly 4 years ago!

                                                                                                                                                              I'm hoping Wally Pfister's Debut Film Transcendence (2014) is gonna be good, for those who don't know he is Chrisopher Nolans long-term cinematographer.

I watched a few episodes but found it kinda boring. I'm not so much of a fan of theirs as other people though, so your mileage may vary, although I like The Prestige and Batman Begins.

                                                                                                                                                                      We're lucky if we get one good one every year, I think the last one that I really enjoyed was District 9. Can't believe that was nearly 4 years ago!

                                                                                                                                                                      I'm hoping Wally Pfister's Debut Film Transcendence (2014) is gonna be good, for those who don't know he is Chrisopher Nolans long-term cinematographer.
                                                                                                                                                                      District 9 was great and benefited from being relatively low budget and having an original/different setting. Oh, does Dredd count as science-fiction? I think it was also made in South Africa, and for a low budget, and very enjoyable. I haven't read the comics but the fact that Judge Dredd gave us Robocop is reason enough for him to be my favorite comic-book character.

                                                                                                                                                                      I thought Oblivion looked promising, but while it looked nice and had some good aspects it was too monotonous, and lost its way I think when other characters, the "scavs" or whatever, showed up.

                                                                                                                                                                      Prometheus had the potential to be a truly great movie, and it's ridiculous just how badly they blew it with such abysmal writing and 'plotting'.

                                                                                                                                                                      Moon is rated insanely highly by apparently everyone, but I personally found it tedious and unimaginative (sounds like I think that about everything ), and the most absurdly over-rated movie ever, until Drive, a movie that took monotony and tedium to previously unimaginable levels.

Especially from the last few years. Most mostly from a visual aspect. I also really dig the sound track.

I watched a few episodes but found it kinda boring. I'm not so much of a fan of theirs as other people though, so your mileage may vary, although I like The Prestige and Batman Begins.
                                                                                                                                                                              Interesting, I haven't watched Person Of Interest. Yeah I think people have different tastes which is to be respected, what I respect about the Nolan brothers is their consistency when it comes to producing really good movies.

                                                                                                                                                                              Yeah The Prestige & Batman Begins are great.

                                                                                                                                                                              That film blew me away, last time I was that impressed by Sci-Fi was probably in 99 when The Matrix came out!

                                                                                                                                                                              FYI Neill Blomkamp's new Sci Fi film is coming out in August Elysium (2013)

                                                                                                                                                                              Looks pretty good I'm looking forward to seeing what he does with a bigger budget!

I think it was also made in South Africa, and for a low budget, and very enjoyable. I haven't read the comics but the fact that Judge Dredd gave us Robocop is reason enough for him to be my favorite comic-book character.

                                                                                                                                                                              I've not seen that yet either, your review of it sounds like a 7/10. If films are rated 7/10 or below in IMDB I usually give them a miss, love watching great films & TV Shows but I can't stand watching anything now that's just ok. I don't like watching things that are just average

                                                                                                                                                                              I won't even start on how bad that film was, totally agree!

                                                                                                                                                                              I'd honestly put it up there with Terminator 3 for how lazy and retarded the plot was! When I pay good money and see crap like that in the theatre I understand why a lot of people download films for free.

                                                                                                                                                                              I see James Cameron is Directing/Writing Terminator 5 or as I will strictly refer to it, Terminator 3!

                                                                                                                                                                              Well I gave it an 8/10 but I understand where you're coming from. I originally gave it a 7/10 but when I considered it's $5 million budget and the fact that it's really more of a drama than Sci-fi I thought it was pretty good, plus Sam Rockwell is one of my favourite and IMO one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood.

                                                                                                                                                                              I think another reason why people gave it a higher rating is because Duncan Jones is David Bowie's son. It shouldn't have any weight whatsoever but I think sometimes if critics gave films a good review (like they did with Moon) then people already have a positive opinion in their heads before seeing the film themselves.

                                                                                                                                                                              His second film Source Code (2011) I thought was a better film personally

I think this image describes how I felt after watching Drive!

Especially from the last few years. Most mostly from a visual aspect. I also really dig the sound track.

That trailer for Elysium looks interesting, but Jodie Foster? I hope she doesn't get much screen time, can't stand her.

I'm not into Superman at all, but every time I see that trailer I want to go watch the movie. It's exciting and epic.
