Review: (#1, B-) While it’s visually striking, it’s also perhaps bit too minimal while also being a bit over-the-top. It’s a strange balance that may or may not hold much appeal for the passer-by.

(#2, C+) It’s a simple design that has some background detail of interest, but it also feels a bit too sterile.

(#3-#13, C+) These character posters range in quality from almost looking like they are hand drawn to looking natural with unique backdrops, but a static title. They are generally striking, but lacking in creative details. (#14, B-) This design definitely looks drawn, which is a nice effort, but trying not to look exactly like Star Wars (like it probably wants to), the effort feels a bit square and lacking in flow.

Trailer Rating: B- / B

Review: (#1, B-) There are some stunning visuals here, which is what you expect from Zack Snyder, but the premise seems very hollow and almost a cross between Dune and Jupiter Ascending, which might not be the best amalgam possible.

(#2, B) A little more exciting than the prior trailer and a bit more information about the stakes at play. It should do well to encourage viewership, especially those familiar with the director’s other works.
