How good were the films of 2016? It’s a natural question to ask as January quickly approaches. Some may say this was a relatively weak year for movies, but judging by an incredible mashup from YouTuber and filmmaker Morgan Ermter, it was an absolutely kickass year for movie trailers. Clocking in at over eight minutes and composed of clips from over 300 different movies, “Film Trailer 2016” shows that the medium of cinema is still capable of creating heartbreaking, heart-stopping, and visually arresting moments—at least for a few seconds at a time. Ermter limits himself to footage from online trailers, which means that there are no “boring parts” here, just lots of visual razzle-dazzle and big emotional payoffs. It’s fiendishly effective. Even those who stayed away from cineplexes in 2016 might find themselves wanting to see a few dozen of the movies excerpted here.
