   What reviewers gush about is, at best, what the film does that was   
   worth the time they spent watching it. Any item they don't mention   
   probably sucks.    
      
   In this case, that would include the plot (if any) or even the   
   underlying story (if any).   
      
   And, although it probably doesn't apply here, if the entire trailer   
   has no dialog, the film is probably subtitled.
