Wonder Woman Trailer Breakdown: 20 Things You Need To See

18. Steve Trevor's Jaw-Dropping Crash

Easily one of the most gorgeous and impressive shots in both the trailer and the movie's marketing to date shows what is presumably Steve Trevor's ship crash-landing off the coast of Themyscira, where he is eventually pulled from the water and rescued by Diana.

It's one hell of a money shot in terms of establishing the legendary island in live-action form, and while a fairly subtle effect compared to the more high-concept action that comes later in the trailer, it's a welcome reminder that the DCEU doesn't need to be darkly, drably lit and colour-graded for maximum misery all the damn time.
