Except in the new trailer when the Millennium Falcon is flying into the engine of a crashed Star Destroyer there is a zoom which I really dislike. There is a zoom in the orgy scene of Eyes Wide Shut which I also hate. Kubrick used zoom in other movies but never so poorly. The Star Wars zoom is some kind of "reality" zoom, as if some putz is sitting there in the Star Wars universe with his handycam. I can't stand that.

The Star Wars Teaser Trailer Has Added $2 Billion to Disney's Value
The new Star Wars teaser trailer is so awesome, it’s already given Disney’s stock a $2 billion boost, indicating the excitement among investors (nerds) over the upcoming movie.
And this is just the beginning. Analysts are already saying we could witness a repeat of A New Hope’s 1977 box-office-obliterating success when Star Wars: The Force Awakens is released in December. According to CBS Money Watch:
The first installment of George Lucas’ galactic soap opera has grossed more than $1.1 billion in inflation-adjusted terms, according to Box Office Mojo. Analysts expect history to repeat itself when the latest installment in the franchise, “Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens,” is released in December.
Keith Simanton, the managing editor of IMDB.com, expects the film to gross $225 million during its opening weekend, breaking a record held since 2012 by “Marvel’s the Avengers.” He estimates it will earn $1.8 billion altogether, the biggest total in history behind “Avatar” and “Titanic.” Ray Subers at BoxOfficeMojo isn’t quite as bullish, expecting a $125 million to $150 million opening weekend and a total gross of $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion.
“I haven’t heard the buzz that I have heard for “The Force Awakens” for a very long time,” Simanton said in an interview.
That’s all well and good for Disney—now let’s just hope they deliver the earth-shattering movie we’re all so hype about! Anyway, just writing about that damn trailer has got me so excited that I have to go watch it again right now.
