The trailer for Michael Bay's "The Island", shows a good example of a dystopia because the world the main characters live in is a supposed Utopia, and the citizens living their fear the world outside where they live and the island itself. The catalyst, Lincoln discovering that "the island" does not exist and that their is a real world outside the facility where he lives, sends him and Joran, a female citizen, on a journey to escape the slaughterhouse in which they live.
The trailer is fast paced and includes many flashing images that do not necessarily pertain to the plot, but do make the viewer more intrigued in the film. Quick snippits of voice saying things such as "the island isn't real!" or, "don't you want to live?" Make you sit at the edge of your seat.
Overall, the trailer presents a great example of a dystopian world.
