15 Big Revelations From Guardians Of The Galaxy Trailer 2

15. Beautiful Cinematography

The first thing worth noting about this trailer is how absolutely beautiful it looks. The Marvel films are known for being colorful, vibrant spectacle pieces, but Guardians of the Galaxy looks, all puns aside... well, out of this world. The visuals in this film are absolutely stunning, from the bright cityscape of the planet Xandar to the dark, eery depths of space. Everything has a very "lived in" feel, making the cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe immediately inviting. With an outlandish property like this, filled with multi-colored aliens, talking raccoons, and walking tree-men, it's important to ground at least some of it in a reality that audiences can latch on to. By making the environments and settings in the film feel authentic, James Gunn has found an immediate, visual, and subliminal way of letting moviegoers into the fold and dropping them right into this crazy universe of outlaws and intergalactic assassins. And, with three months left to go before we finally get to see it on the big screen, the effects will likely be given an additional polish, making things look even better.
