I think the trailer is kind of amazing. I've watched it too many times. At first I was a little underwhelmed--but not sure why, exactly. I realized it was because I went into it with such a clean slate, in terms of zero expectations, that I forgot to bring my feelings with me. I watched it as a pure machine, taking in whatever data there was to be gleaned, impartially. Systematically. But then I was like "wait a fucking second. That was Grace Slick. That was White Rabbit. And there was a lot of music and sound in back of it, not found in the original". So then I watched it again and was like "ohhh, okaaaay, I get it: this is fucking amazing. Of course". The editing--visually and sonically--yields something akin to cinematic poetry.
