Oh yeah, that looks like pure badassery. For the most part, this hits all the beats the CC footage did and it's so satisfying to finally get an actual look at that. Soldiers dropping out of planes, Wyatt Russel in a role that'd probably make his father Kurt proud, what appear to be some sort of Nazi zombie-vampire creatures, so on and so forth. That use of AC/DC's "Hells Bells" is such a good touch. I'm having a hard time coming up with articulate ways of expressing how much I like this trailer.
Every time I think of a sentence, I scrap it and just want to jump from my desk, shouting "[insert your favorite expletive here] YEAH! THIS LOOKS SO AWESOME!". Anyway, all joking aside, this is one of my most anticipated releases of the year. J.J. Abrams producing a grindhouse-style sci-fi horror action war picture with a hard R rating is unquestionably within my wheelhouse. Oddly enough, this may be the least cryptic and most straightforward piece of marketing I've ever seen for a Bad Robot production. There's no hiding what this is (except for a few twists and turns that'll probably be awesome) and bless its heart for that. It looks creepy, action-packed, utterly bizarre and just a great old-fashioned time at the movies.
We'll see if it lives up to the hype, come November 9th*.
*NOTE: This was originally supposed to come out on October 26th, which is a shame that it changed because it would've been really cool to see this on Halloween night. Still, it's not that far away I suppose.
