This is a surprisingly not-that-great a trailer, especially when you take into account that it’s for a Ridley Scott movie.  For a start, the song that plays in the background is not only obnoxious, but ill-fitting.

Then there’s the tone, which is hard to get a feel for.  If the two things I already mentioned weren’t bad enough, it also feels that Scott is attempting an action movie-type tone, something that he’s not particularly adept at.

Take a look and judge for yourself, and maybe you won’t find it quite as disappointing as I have (I doubt it, but it is Christmas Day).

Happy Holidays!
