Totally thought that the music in the beginning was the intro to 'Time to pretend' by MGMT

It's kind of funny that the movie this game is based on is directed by Zack Snyder. 
  
Also this looks like it should just be a mini-game for Hedwig in one of the Harry Potter games (well I guess it can't because the only one left is Deathly Hallows and Hedwig is in that for like the first two chapters)

No. You're none of those things. 
 
You're an owl. You eat mice and cough up their fur and bones in a perfect ball. 
 
 
 
Also, stupid indy rock.

Before anyone gets excited, just like to remind everyone that is a game based on a movie.

Owl simulators have never been this exciting! *cough*
 
I suppose it would help to know the source material first, huh?

Okay I totally thought this was a joke when it first started.  Despite the irony of that, I do really like owls... probably my favorite animal... in fact there are three owl related things within arms reach of the computer.  I will have to play this for that reason alone.

THIS! IS! OWLS! 
 
Thanks Zack Snyder for being so variable with your ability to make a good movie... 
Although I guess 300 wasn't technically good, so I guess you're even Stevens.

Anyone else notice that was the same voice actor that voiced Kain in the Legacy of Kain series?

So it's like a game where you fly? Damn, they stole my idea.
 
What a turnoff. Also, I believe we have born witness to one of the most hideously mis-soundtracked videogame trailers ever in the history of videogame trailers. Ever.
