Just "located" it.

The bottom one there is pretty good though. Has a nice Raiders vibe.

It'll look better once they CGI Lama Su in there.
Irvine511 said:we saw very, very little of the film, and i think the rope/whip swinging stuff in what i assume is the room where the Ark was put at the end of Raiders looks amazing. we also (hopefully) got some of the cheesiest lines, and they weren't even on the same planet of appauling barfness as the worst parts of "Clones."
i think this will be good. i do. in this kind of genre, i trust Spielberg absolutely.
lazarus said:Meh.
Sure as hell wasn't no Star Wars teaser.
30 seconds of old footage, followed by some move that looked like it was out of Die Hard.
Ford still doesn't appear to have lightened up. He can't even sell the funny lines anymore.
This may have a cool story, but I'm saying it right now: Ford is going to be the weak link of this thing.
Come on, Ford can't even sell the funny lines anymore. It's not that he looks to old, where's the charm? Plus we get some kind of Die Hard gymnastic bullshit? I'm not sold.
Lancemc said:Yes it's a teaser, but for a teaser it shows a hell of a lot of different clips from the actual film, which automatically puts them up for analysis and critique. Nothing shown in the trailer seems to bode well for the film.
And it's worth talking about its service as a teaser. This video really has no idea what it's trying to accomplish. It's a shitty teaser in that sense as well. A good teaser takes a singular or maybe two elements of a film, strikes a chord or excitement or anticipation in the audience, promising something more than what we're seeing. Take the Star Trek teaser for a recent comparison. Simple theme music, builds to a crescendo, Singular line of dialogue and a shot of the Enterprise. It gets right down to the very core of the film without any exposition or montage. Same with the original Dark Knight teaser. Music, snippet of dialogue building to the finish with the Bat symbol bursting into fragments signifying the entrance of the Joker. Or a different route like the Youth Without Youth teaser, which features a beautiful slideshow of images from the film, along with the short clip of music and singular line of dialogue to compliment the atmosphere conjured by the imagery.
This trailer starts out with what was essentially the same teaser we've seen before for these films, but then continues with an incoherent series of clips from the finished product, highlighting (hopefully...yeah right) the worst parts of the film, with no real goal or finish line. At the same time it fails as a regular trailer because it offers absolutely no insight into the specifics of the film or provides any sort of restrained narrative summary like the best trailers do.
Lancemc said:Whatever. Just going on record now. I predict a wholly disappointing film. When I have a strong negative reaction to a PROMOTIONAL material for a highly anticipated film that most people seems to be clamoring all over with great admiration, it feel the need to elaborate. Because to be honest, I haven't seen a well-explained reaction anywhere yet detailing what's so great about it either.
