The point was you didn't need to know story of Alien at all to be interested in that trailer. What you are suppose to get from that trailer is the creepy vibes in it, not what the story is about. Did you not look at the trailer at all? It's a silly comparison to make when both trailers seem to be aiming for different things/vibes. Plus, he's comparing a teaser trailer to an actual 3 min trailer or whatever. Teasers usually are suppose to be vague, but as far as I know the teaser trailer to this movie came out last year and was like 14 seconds long.
Why do you need to know the story of Batman or an action/comic flick to be interested in the trailer? There are plenty of elements they can show off to get people buzzing without giving away much of the story. It's the same thing. Very few action movies go into detail on the story (including Nolan's movies) in the trailers. Watch the TDK or Inception trailers again, they don't give anymore story elements than TDKR's trailer does.
