If the trailer "shouldn't" elicit excitement, then why should people be "rightfully" excited about the film?
You mentioned the concept was already trite, so, presumably, that shouldn't elicit undue excitement. Nolan has failed in the past, so simply because his name is attached to the film shouldn't automatically warrant excitement. Matthew Mcconaughey is still trying to rectify his abysmal cinematic outings from earlier in his career, and is hardly a lock to pull off the role of an engineer/scientist.
On what ground do people have to be "rightfully" excited about the film, if not for the trailer itself?

I don't get what they are trying to do, the planet is almost dead and they are going into space for...?
Even if they did find another planet how do they even mine the materials and bring it back or migrate enough people?
From the trailer it look like they are trying to find more resources or alien life.

Doubtful, unfortunately.
People who have read the full script have mentioned that every frame in this trailer is from the first 1/3 of the film, and that the actual plot doesn't truly commence until the ship enters the wormhole. So, while this trailer shows us nothing about what the film is actually about, I feel that subsequent trailers undoubtedly will.
The second trailer for Inception showed every major action sequence from every major level - limbo, level 3, level 2, level 1...even the plane. There wasn't one scene in the actual film that was a "surprise", simply because we had been exposed to every segment of the film from the trailer.

There is an extreme food shortage on the planet. From the trailer, it appears that a wormhole opens up near Saturn, and we apparently travel through it in hopes of finding aid.
Based on the quotes in the trailer, this doesn't seem to be a "save the planet" type of film.
"We're not meant to save the planet...we're meant to leave it."
"Mankind was born on Earth...it was never meant to die here."
"We must reach far beyond our own lifespans."
"We must think not as individuals, but as a species."

they are 2 different things. we know the basics of the film, and knew them prior to the trailer
the trailer added nothing except it showed you some of the DP/cinematography and some of the acting
...and it had the song from V for Vendetta
i guess another way to put it is there is nothing noteworthy about the trailer. it adds nothing to what we knew

no
i said the concept is not novel, so proclaiming it to be novel is off base. i can get excited for non-novel movies

director, actor(s), concept. things that were known prior to the trailer and to which teh trailer added 0
nolan makes good movies. MM is a good leading man. nolan has shown he's solid in the concept of fantasy/sci fi merging
all of those things create an aura of excitement, which i will not deny (as i am excited over the movie)
the trailer, however, did nothing for me. as i said earlier, this is not an indictment on the movie itself. it just adds nothing, so its addition to any excitement should mirror that and constitute nothing

Most individuals had no idea what the film was even about from the teaser, and some individuals still don't comprehend the basic premise (see the post 4 spots up). So, I would posit that there are quite a few individuals who were "excited" to learn details related to this film that weren't explicitly revealed in the teaser, such as wormholes, global foot shortages, cryostasis, as well as an introduction to the characters, their relationships, etc.
Additionally, excitement is a subjective emotion - something that may elicit excitement in one individual may not elicit the same degree of excitement in another individual. It seems a bit fatuous that one could think they could set an objective standard by which the emotion of excitement is generated within an individual. It's akin to saying that you don't love someone, so you don't see a reason why anyone else should suddenly love that person.

Pretty meh, even by Nolan standards. It may be the intent, but remember, people thought Gravity would trail off into something COMPLETELY different until details came out.

I wouldn't engage SFP. He will literally post 100 times in a thread to tell you why your subjective opinion is wrong and his is right.

quote:TDK is flawless
the best example of people claiming i was trolling and then me being proven 100% right was the dark knight. the group think and expectations for that movie were so high, any criticism of the movie during the theater run was called trolling. years later looking back, the flaws are accepted 100%
I'm assuming you mean TDKR
I caved and read the leaked Interstellar script from 2008. It's good, although there are some plot points that I don't think will fly with Nolan's anti-CGI ways.

Far from it.

I guess there's no such thing as a truly "flawless" movie then.
TDK gets as close to being flawless as a big-budget modern blockbuster can get.
