This is seemingly the first trailer that explains any plot details beyond “Steven Spielberg made another movie.” I’m excited, but concerned that they waited until the film was 2 and a half weeks away before pushing any significant marketing aside from a Super Bowl commercial

I’m just glad it isn’t that same tight shot of Emily Blunt’s vacant face trying to emote we’ve been seeing for a month.

I don’t think I need another trailer. Apparently the first 2 had nothing from the third act, and I kind of don’t want to know.

I just wish it didn’t look so much like the polar express

Doesn’t look great tbh. Lately Spielberg has been a lot more miss than hit so I’m skeptical.

This movie looks like straight dog water.

Looks so ass. Spielberg was my favorite director when I was growing up but I haven’t enjoyed anything he’s made since Munich. That’s like 20 years

I gotta say his movies are great and all, but what I really love is his chicken. I mean, eleven herbs and spices, you can’t beat that. I miss the white suit however.

This looks very messy. I want to love this but the trailer is not giving me much hope

My level of interest in this could not be lower

So with the ‘aliens appearing as animals to lure children into UFOs’, this is a straight-up follow-up to his *Taken* series from the 00s, right? Or at the very least he’s reusing that story element wholesale here & incorporating it into a new story.
EDIT: I can’t say I’ve watched it since it’s original run, so someone feel free to jump in and say there’s too many contradictions to be a follow-up.

This whole thing is a marketing campaign more than a movie. What, Steven Spielberg is going to reveal the most closely-guarded secrets in a summer blockbuster movie?! No…
He’s going to sell you Reese’s Pieces and Happy Meals, and say whatever he has to to ensure that opening weekend dinero fattens plenty of fat-cat wallets. They’re setting to profit from us, by dangling dubious droplets of manufactured truth over our heads.

Is it a close encounters sequel

already seen this damn movie from all the trailers. Not much interest now.

I can’t stand Reddit haters. This looks extremely fun and sure he’s just hyping the “what if this was true” view, but also hell yeah Steve. Suspend me in some disbelief and let’s enjoy some aliens.

Calm down there, Steve.

Feel like people would be ragging on this movie’s trailers if it didn’t have Spielberg’s name on it. The cinematography and cg just looks so bland.

This trailer looks better than the previous one, but the fact they put a Spielberg interview in there is odd… it feels a bit desperate.

God, this looks cool.
Please be cool.
I want Mean Spielberg back again.

Seriously? We got a face reveal of the aliens?? There goes so much of the movie’s intrigue.
I’m shocked they’d put that in a trailer. If there’s anyone that could push to keep that hidden in marketing material it’d be Spielberg.

Personally I feel like Universal doesn’t know how to sell this movie, I think thematic wise it’ll probably be more resonant when watched the whole movie(hopefully)because so far all they can market is aliens and Spielberg(which he has done a lot in the past), otherwise it just doesn’t have the IT to grab the audience, like I probably won’t even know it’s from Spielberg if u didn’t tell me

They really have Spielberg talk about real life aliens for this one. Jesus

Emily Blunt’s American accent sounds like she’s doing a Kamala Harris impression.

Spielberg finally gave in to Lucas, and they ARE interdimensional beings.
