Whenever this topic is posted (and it has been quite a bit), this is always my answer.
Alien is everything you want in a trailer: It’s intriguing, mysterious, and draws you in. In this case, by showing a mysterious landscape and egg… you’re instantly curious as to what will happen and the visuals are matched with the eerie music. And when the egg cracks, its just light protruding from the crack nothing more yet its so fucking terrifying by that point!
The best thing?
Though there are a few clips of the movie proper, NOTHING about the movie is spoiled in the trailer, but it sure as hell gives you an idea of what you’re in for in seeing the film itself!
And though I hate to admit it, another trailer that was pretty spectacular (and, sadly, can’t say the same about the movie), is that of the first Suicide Squad film.

Not to mention it coined the tagline "In space, no one can hear you scream."
