Warner Brothers has released an extended trailer for the new Godzilla movie.
This follows two very short trailers that barely show anything at all.
After seeing this trailer, I see why. Color me unimpressed.
The trailer starts with an earthquake at a nuclear power plant. In Japan. (That appears to be Mt. Fuji.) But you only show Caucasian actors in the trailer.
Followed by a tidal wave on a tropical beach.
Incorporating actual disasters in Japan and Indonesia seems a little crass to me.
This is followed by a scene that looks like it was lifted directly out of Jurassic Park.
And the movie seems to throw in a Government conspiracy/cover-up for good measure.
A remake of a remake that relies on incorporating actual events and scenes that could have been lifted from another film (and the obligatory Government coverup) just screams lack of creativity.
You can't always tell how good (or bad) a movie will be from the trailer, but this trailer does not result in me wanting to see this film. It seems to indicate another Hollywood production where all the effort was geared toward special effects and everything else was just a second thought, including plot.
