The shot of Chris Pine’s Dr. Alex Murry kneeling in some sort of prison with a sun-like light behind him looks like a painting.
The very first shot on the playground with the children playing basketball in slow motion all around Storm Reid’s Meg Murray is gorgeous.
This sets the tone for the rest of the preview, which is full of beautiful composition and confident use of color.
In a trailer full of amazing and fantastical imagery, this first shot stands out right away, even though it is seemingly an ordinary scene with nothing magical about it.
