I’m not sure why I didn’t think of this segment before but I’m glad it’s starting today. As many of you might know by now, I don’t hold a lot of weight on movie trailers with regards to how good a film will be. And it’s for good reason. Too often we’ve been duped by a trailer that absolutely rocks and then the movie itself, doesn’t nearly live up to how awesome we thought it was going to be. It’s because in reality movie trailers are a big business. They play an integral role in marketing of films so the studios want to make sure they get the best possible “commercial” out there for their films. It’s just too bad they didn’t deliver on the films themselves.
Today we begin with the trailer for the movie Battle: Los Angeles. I feel like everyone knew that with that title we’d be seeing a movie that could really blow it, but the trailer was nothing short of awesome. It’s a slow build up that begins with old footage of potential alien sightings but continues to build and build and build.
It’s like “OK, I know this is another alien kind of movie but maybe it’ll be different?” Well, it wasn’t and it in fact stunk. Still though, the trailer’s definitely cool.
