It just goes to show that the Hanz Zimmer's Inception music put to anything makes it 100 times better. I honestly thought half those clips were crap but the music made it suspenseful.
As someone else noted, it's actually a music by Zack Hemsey, although Zimmer did amazing job with the Inception OST anyway (also, deja vu. I feel like I already wrote this in response to someone saying exactly the same thing... Huh. Must be a glitch in the Matrix).

I dunno, it was ok but really nothing special. Like others have said the music was way too over the top for some of the things that happened in it. Also the dialogue tells you crap-all about the story, so if it were a movie trailer, which it's emulating, it would be a failure.
You know, that second argument sounds funny, because that Inception trailer with Mind Heist not only told us next to nothing in terms of plot ("I think I found the way home..." etc. was the only plot related quote), but also mislead the viewers, first by suggesting that Cobb is responsible for subconscious security, and then the process of stealing secrets from a dream is called the Inception, when in fact it's exactly the other way around.
Trailers telling us nothing about the plot are nothing new, really, so I wouldn't even bother extracting points from it for that. Trailer should pick your interest, and whether it's done by revealing a tiny bit of an interesting plot, by whole lot of action/cool scenes, or by suspenseful music (go watch that Inception trailer. Actually it's not really that interesting visually, but still hyped me up to the stratosphere) - that's unimportant as long as it works.
OT: Great job. The guy mixed the trailer music from my favorite movie of the last decade with my most anticipated game of 2011. Hats off.
