It didn't blow me away, but I like the tone. Kinda Close Encounters. While not the first thing I go see at the theater, it's at least on the list.

I'm curious to see more trailers with a bit more substance.

It did what a teaser should do. I want to see more...which is when we will know just how much of a reimagining this is. My gut still tells me this is going to be a stinker, but that is based on what the actors have been saying for the past year.

I hate myself for saying this, but...it does have my attention.

I like it a lot more than I probably should.

I really like the Ultimate origin, and the cast is solid. Now, I'm hoping that the script is decent and that the film doesn't look cheap.

That said, I do think that they could have used the more traditional 616 origin given how man still hasn't mastered space travel.

Hopefully, they do a good job with Annihilus and the Negative Zone. Heck, I'd love a Blastaar cameo too.

It's captured my interest.

Man hasn't mastered space travel, but we've done enough of it beyond the Van Allen belt for the original origin to raise questions about why none of the Apollo astronauts got pelted with the right kind of cosmic rays to get superpowers (unless some of them did and the government kept it a secret all these years). The previous movies justified it with the specific 'cosmic storm' hitting just as everybody was in the lightly shielded habitat except for the guy exposed in his space suit. Planetary justified it for its FF analogues The Four by having it actually be a Monolith-like (except actually Ming/Darkseid-like) alien intervention. But on balance, the Ultimate variation of exposure to an alternate universe/dimension probably works better now.

I liked the trailer, and it makes me cautiously optimistic. They seem to get the importance of the whole explorer/scientist aspect of the group. Of course, I did quite like Chronicle, so I suppose that makes me disposed to give this director benefit of the doubt.

The guy doing the narration made it sound profound and meaningful. I'd listen to him reading poetry or Shakespeare for an hour. He's a five star narrator. I genuinely hope the movie itself lives up to what he makes it feel like it's going to be.
