Yeah, I dig it, but it's a bit odd. I hope the movie explains why they're air dropping these guys in and what their mission is. The seem to have no chance. Also, why the red smoke trails?

BECAUSE HOLLYWOOD!

As for the trailer, eh. I didn't see that much destruction, there was absolutely no spectacle, and it was not fantastic.


The one thing I did while watching the trailer was wonder IF something like this ever were to happen, if the government would just nuke the thing. I think eventually they would.

Granted it's just a short trailer so there may be a reasonable explanation why they would deliver a response team via a halo drop (note that they say some have not been trained for it, wtf).
I really believe that if they shot it in Japan and in Japanese with clumsily dubbed English, remixed the original soundtrack from the 60's and played it at midnight showings... it would cost less to make, make way more money and have legs for a long life of DVD sales and TV licensing.
Maybe my perspective is not indicative of the reality of the market but I would love that and so would my friends. As it stands, well, won't be paying to see this one.

Probably because its more exciting than guy who saunters into city to obtain Godzilla defeating objective X?

the halo drop makes no fucking sense... i bet this movie will make no fucking sense... R.I.P. hollywood

GOJIRA!!! I ruv-a Gojira! Love...that...roar! Please, please, please don't suck! This one of the few films I have to see in a theater.

Halo drop into the facility to get some sort of bio-agent to use against Godzilla. Red Smoke due to bad visibility of the drop, and to see where other members of the team are dropping. They are dropping into San Francisco, so my guess is to have an idea of where everyone is landing due to the size and destruction of the city.
