Primal Trailer Review

Originally, I hadn't intended on making a trailer review on what I'm about to show you guys here, mainly because of the intensity that was held in it. However...

Today, after seeing this trailer so many times, I decided to make my 9th trailer review on one that promotes an upcoming TV Show called "Primal". An adult-oriented animated series that's set to air on Adult Swim at the beginning of October and is made by animation legend Genndy Tartakovsky, who is best known for creating "Samurai Jack".

According to what is known so far, the series is a dialogue-less adventure about a caveman "at the dawn of evolution" and a dinosaur "on the brink of extinction", who form an unlikely friendship. Bonded by tragedy, it may be the only hope of survival in the kill or be killed world they live in.

Before I tell you guys my thoughts about this trailer, take a look for yourselves first *Warning: Contains violence, maturity, intensity, and blood*:

So, wanna know what I think of it?

I think this series looks like something really interesting to see. Original even. And, in a time where the dinosaur genre itself seems on the brink of extinction, with only the "Jurassic..." series to hold it over, this seems like something that could very well breath life back into it.

I can't help but feel particularly interested in finding out how the two bonded and what it was that brought the caveman and Tyrannosaurus Rex together. The fact that the team decided to incorporate non-dinosaur creatures into the mix at the same time dinosaurs themselves are around, like Woolly Mammoths, also made things all-the-more interesting. Accurate even, because I never believed dinosaurs, man, and creatures like mammoths were ever separated by time. That they all lived together.

Plus, the hand-drawn animation that was shown here looks so spectacular, like a made-for-screen comic book combined with a made-for-cinema feel. The music it had was likewise melodiously ear-catching. I don't know who did it, but I'd be interested in finding out, because whoever composed was able to bring a certain emotional and theatrical feel to it.

My only real issue is that I can't help but feel unsure about seeing it myself, and if others would want to see it, because of the violence that was displayed. Especially at the 1:29 to 1:30 mark of the video.

In spite of this, though, I nevertheless can't help but find myself to be hooked by this with interest, and I'm pretty sure others are going to feel the same way.

What do you guys think?
