I really enjoyed Gareth Edwards’ Monsters in 2010, which saw Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able as a mismatched couple trying to work their way back to America through Mexican territory infested by alien creatures, so I was already sold on Godzilla.

What interests me about this trailer is that it feels like it’s the first action film in a LONG time not to use the Inception-style foghorn effect, instead using what sounds like the score from 2001: A Space Odyssey, specifically the score played during the monolith’s first appearance in 2001 (about three minutes in to this video). It gives Godzilla a proper other-worldly feel to it; this isn’t just another film where something big’s going to turn up and smash things; this is something different.
