Review: (#1, C-) Is the universality of this design a thematic reference? Even if so, this design doesn’t embrace its gimmick effectively and provides no intriguing details of note.

(#2, C) Sticking with the galactic theme and taking a dancing moment from the film might work better if it didn’t look so empty. You can figure out the figure from the titles but it’s so poorly positioned, it’s almost unrecognizable.

(#3, C) This designers for these posters have clearly stuck on an idea they love but which is utterly underwhelming. They are cheap-looking and amateurish.

Trailer Rating: C+ / C+ / C+

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: (#1, C+) There are a few moments in the trailer that contain some potentially exciting elements but they are few and far between and the general feel of the trajectory of the trailer is one of mediocre intensity.

(#2, C+) The second trailer continues the struggle to present a story that audiences will want to see. There’s little here that is bound to excite people and the mealy-mouthed narrative presentation lacks intrigue and purpose.

(#3, C+) At what point will this film start to look good? After three trailers, there’s an insubstantial amount of information to go off of and being told something is life-affirming makes the disappointment more frustrating. If only the film looked more interesting than it does in any of these trailers.
