In a world like ours today, people started to drift away from art and cinema. However, we can still find cinema fanatics who wait for teasing trailers that will urge and provoke them to either head to the movie theatres or watch it online. The art of making a trailer has long been appreciated as it is one of the main means that make the movie interesting for people to watch so the movie can gross billions of dollars. After watching heaps of trailers, it is not easy to create one that does not reveal much of the plot and events so you would keep the audience with bells on!
There are top 10 trailers in 2017 that make us bounce off the walls, according to FilmSelect Trailer and Game Spot.
10 Annihilation Annihilation‘s trailer is one that throws your mind into confusions; you lose track whether the movie is romantic, science fiction or horror. In the beginning, the scenes are lovey-dovey; however, you still sense the spine-chilling aura. Then, you discover that Alex Garland, the director, has carried you away on a sci-fi flight. The trailer is produced as it should be; it gives you a glimpse of the movie, combining the scenes that tickles your curiosity without revealing too much. It shows Natalie Portman commanding a squad of armed women into a sci-fi hazard. 9 Star War: The Last Jedi Epic space opera movie Star War: The Last Jedi, was written and directed by Rian Johnson. The movie’s main centre is the ferocious clash between the light and dark sides of the Force and reestablishes the connection between the fans and Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. The Star War franchise took its fans, who are mostly teenagers and young adults, by surprise. The Last Jedi’s premiere debut was in Los Angeles on December 9. Nearly a week after, the movie was released in the United States on December 15, 2017. It has garnered above $1.3 billion across the globe. The film garnered four nominations at the 90th Academy Awards; the categories were: Best Original Score and Best Visual Effects. 8 The Shape of Water Guillermo del Toro’s spectral tale can be deemed as an enchantress one that has as swoon. The movie takes a leaf out of The World of Oz’s book as it is patterned after it. This trailer for The Shape of Water displayed the way to which the director resorted in order to fly to a world of wild imagination. Like the director, The narrator grabs our hand to a glimpse of a usual day in the life of our protagonist Elisa. A bizarre aquatic creature takes us by surprise.The film’s first debut was on August 31, 2017, at the 74th Venice International Film Festival. 7 Avengers: Infinity War Fans have been crazy about the release of Avengers: Infinity War since it was announced in 2014. It has been proven that our long wait for the movie was worth it; the trailer was jaw-dropping for its audience. Infinity War has assembled the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy as well as every superhero that would come to your mind in the MCU in a bid to bring Thanos down. The trailer of the movie managed to take the essential parts and show them without spoiling the story or revealing information. 6 Crisis on Earth-X The trailer introduces elements that may seem irrelevant to one another, but of course, they come to an intersections point by the time the series runs its course. The trailer for Crisis on Earth-X--the 2017 crossover event gives prominence to Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow. Movies as Suicide Squad and Justice League were surrounded by much hype, but they were not up to the expectations; that ‘s way there were hopes raised to make it up for the audience. You think the series had glitter sprinkled on it when you see Barry Allen and Iris West lay the groundwork for their wedding, to get shocked when the wedding gets crashed by Nazis. Then, all we will say is “Let the war begin”! 5 The Disaster Artist Hats off to one of the best trailers on the list; it has accomplished its purpose to perfection. Actually, it reveals one word of a long definition, when this word gives you a hint, but it is not enough because now you got provoked to see the movie.

Yes, all you can hear is tik tak tok like we are running out of time or waiting for something to happen! The prestigious director Christopher Nolan has worked in major projects like The Dark Knight trilogy, inception and interstellar, which were featured in the trailer. We guess spotting Nolan’s name on any poster provokes us enough to buy tickets and catch the movie at movie theatres. The trailer mainly focused on dazzling visuals. 3 Thor: Ragnarok As Marvel superhero movie, Thor is the sequel to two movies held the same title and were produced in 2011 and 2013.

This is not to see the screenplay coming into a movie on the screen; it is its fourth time to be produced as a movie, but, come on, Agatha Cristie’s movies never get us bummed out! The setting is in the 1930s as a murder takes place on a train! Duh! Everyone becomes as suspect as the teaser showcases that we will mainly rummage for evidence to catch the mysterious murderer.
