Movies like 300 and Sin City prove that the [visual aesthetic of a film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/droga5s-wake-up) can leave a long-standing impression on the movie-viewing public, and this Henry Waltz teaser trailer looks to give those two films a run for their money in the special effects department.

The Henry Waltz teaser trailer is made by Emil Goodman and is meant to showcase the proposed visual style of the upcoming movie. I’m getting a major Blade Runner vibe with hints of Avatar from the fantastical designs of the creatures. It’s pretty obvious the film draws inspiration from the Matrix, especially in the sound department. Without too many details being revealed, I still can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this film once it’s released.

**Implications** - As North Americans continue to recover from the economic recession, there's still a high demand from consumers for [escapist media](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whats-after-the-movie). Corporations can capitalize on this consumer desire by providing goods and services which divert attention from the recession.
