I know a lot of people will disagree because they think the movie was pretty good, but [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkZFWr0vR8Q) was a pretty awesome teaser trailer for what turned out (IMHO) to ultimately be a pretty disappointing movie (the 2009 remake of _Star Trek_). ---

[Alien 3 teaser trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk_x9W1xKng). My wife was quite PO’d when we actually saw the movie and it was nothing like the film we were told we were going to get. ---
