Star Wars: Episode VII-The Force Awakens (Teaser Trailer HD #2)
After almost five months of no official clips from The Force Awakens, we finally have an amazing premier. The trailer has been long in coming, owing to J.J. Abrams' secretive ways, but now I can say that the wait has been worth it. Although, this caught most everyone off guard. The trailer, according to Collider, wasn't supposed to come out for another month, with the premier of Age of Ultron. That would be obvious, and Abrams wasn't obvious last time, posting the first trailer in late November, not attached to any film. The tantalizing 88 second teaser consisted of only eight shots, but it drove the Star Wars frenzy into overdrive. This trailer is a whopping TWO MINUTES and some odd seconds long. Of course, it has much more detail. I don't really want to spoil the details of this, but the original cast makes an appearance, we get to know some of the newer characters, and also the plan of the remnants of the Empire. I love the reveal shot at the end that gets the audience excited. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more dialogue to make it a little clearer as to what the plot was. But I get it. It's a trailer. It did what good trailers should do. It gave us just enough to want the meal. I'm glad Abrams was minimal on the details. It spices it up. I wonder how much J.J. fought the company execs at Disney to release the trailer this way. With 261 days left until the release date of The Force Awakens, this makes me even more eager for the film. Of course, this raises a serious question: will this trailer build up fans so much that the film cannot hope to meet their expectation? It could very well be a horrible flop. But that is extremely doubtful, with all of the money and effort gone into making this. I'm just glad that's the question we're asking instead of, "Is the movie bad? Or is it just the trailer? Fans will find out soon enough.
April Fool's :)
