If you didn't see J.J. Abrams' reboot of the Star Trek franchise, then now you have something to do this weekend. While numerous well made trailers were released for this movie, the preview titled as Trailer 3 was the best. Prior trailers had much more dialogue and spoilers; this third one feels more like a souped up teaser, showing off the spectacular visuals. The dialogue is done in mostly narrative descriptive tones, with scenes matching the spoken dialogue.
The best part of this trailer is the music. The scenes from the trailer is beautifully edited to the music, adding to the rise and fall of the dramatic emotions portrayed in those scenes. The name of the piece is "Freedom Fighters" by Two Steps From Hell. They compose music specifically for movie trailers. Thomas Bergersen, one of the composers, wrote on his blog that the executives over at Paramount liked the music so much that they bought the rights to it so that no one else could use it! The music ends up being why you're watching.
So... enjoy the trailer, its one of my favorites.
