Trailer of the Day: Monsters



This could have also been called "Not your dads giant monster movie". Quiet and suspenseful, it's more about the people than the titular monsters, and even though said monsters are far and few between, they're still pretty awesome (and keeping them out of sight makes them much scarier). Jurassic Park came to mind several times watching this, not just in presentation but also in how the monsters acted. Like watching dinosaurs they never seemed malevolent, just very large dangerous animals.

The trailer represents the film pretty well, but still makes it seem a little too action packed. Not to mention they show all the best non-dialogue parts of the movie.
