The Machinist is easily in the top 5 of my all-time favorite movies, its just that good. And the whole reason I ever gave it a thought was due to this trailer. At the time there were -so- many trailers for movies that gave away the whole movie or spoiled all the good parts. But this trailer gave just enough to intrigue while leaving so much unexplained you just have to see the movie to get them answered. It's always been one of my 'how to make a trailer' examples when I go off on a rant. The movie itself is great. It's directed by Session 9's Brad Anderson and the films have the similar murky-muddled feel that allows you to feel as confused as the characters do.

I fell in love with this trailer when it was first released. Its really very stunning and awe-inspiring, like a modern Neverending Story (or at least what Neverending Story felt to me when I was a kid). I can easily see this being a new classic movie for this generation...so long as they don't screw it up. Of course, it helps that I -really- like this song.

At first glance the animation looks cheap and dated and, well, kind of creepy. But after watching the whole trailer it seems that the unique style really works with the sense of humor and atmosphere. Cute and quirky, I don't think the style will distract much from the film itself. It just doesn't make such a good impression on the general public in trailer form (presumably because people are too busy gawking at the animation than listening to the dialogue). Anyway, I certainly think this movie is worth a look.
