Some trailers are just imagery that some find fascinating or engaging, without any other purpose. They don't entice us to see the film & don't inspire us to go buy a ticket or even a DVD, but may stick in our minds for days, months or even years, though we may never recall what film they were attached to. A lot of Super Bowl commercials are like this. They have great visual or story impact, but later, when asked, viewers have no idea what product was being pushed. Those are simply artistic expressions, for their own sake. It's a waste, from a business perspective, but for those who simply seek entertainment, they're hugely successful. For the audience, there's nothing wrong with that, at all. For the product seller, it's a failure.
