My thoughts exactly - the low camera angle also.
Looks good!

As a teaser it really leaves me remarkably unimpressed. Part of the reason for that are all the teasers that have come before it that only resulted in movies that weren't all that great including Cloverfield. They gotta give me something more to get my interest piqued.

Rumor has it this movie is somehow related to Cloverfield. Of course that's just rumor and is likely completely wrong.

Prior to the trailer, that was the common notion.
However, Abrams already made a statement that this film has nothing to do with CLoverfield.

Good, and I hope it's not shot the same way either.

 

[silverskyes402]

I'm sure alot of it's gonna be shot in super 8, so either way it's a different style movie.

From what Ive heard, it is an homage to the Spielberg films from the 70's.
The basic storyline is about some kids trying to be film makers, using a Super 8 camera and they stumble across this train wreck, etc.

I thought the same thing. A teaser is supposed to well, tease and leave you thinking about it and wanting more. I could care less after watching that.

I just saw Cloverfield yesterday. WTF!?!?!

 

[KarlBud420]

Meh.

Completely and utterly meh.

FYI a teaser trailer is in no way a spoiler.......



wasnt a fan of cloverfield, and from what ive heard, this is about the same .....but shot on super8.......and set in the 70-80ish.

 

[silverskyes402]

Yea, I put spoiler in the title just cause your never sure what people will ***** about these days lol

I agree. Can't be too safe, especially here.

So is that ET in there - but he's really pissed off now?

Saw the trailer in the theater today...Not as dark as the bootleg version floating around the internet, so I was actually able to see the first scene in the trailer.
The first scene actually shows an extremely wide shot of the truck driving through the suburbs (Nearly identical to the wide scene in CLose Encounters where Roy Neary is driving out to investigate the power outage.)

I gotta be honest, if this movie is made in a way that accurately emulates Spielberg's film style of of the 70's, Ill be there just for the nostalgia factor...I miss seeing those 70's style films.

I agree, it was very different seeing it in the theaters, when I first watched it online I thought it was a joke and was just scenes form close encounters at first, I love area 51 and alien movies from that era so its looking good to me
