The cinematography makes The Passion's look like Clerks's. Wow.

Now here's a fun thing. Watch the trailer in HD and freeze it at 1:46.

I think Mel needs to take his medication

I can't wait, honestly. I saw the trailer on a morning news program a few days ago. I think it looks great.

It looks like it might be interesting...I just don't get what it's about. Not that you need to know that from a trailer, strictly speaking. Anyway, I'm not inclined to like the guy, so *shrug*.

Seems to be about the Mayans.

Well, yes. But I'm not getting if it's historically based, or some kind of morality tale, or really an apocalyptic story, or some combination of those things. *shrug* Like I said, that's okay; you don't absolutely need to know the plot from a trailer. This one is meant to be atmospheric more than anything else, and it works at that. It's just that whipping out Gibson's name and awards as a selling point does less than nothing for me.

I believe it is about the fall of the Mayan empire specifically. Totally in Mayan.

Intriguing at the least.
