The trailers were different because Avatar had a lot of computer generated imagery and trainspotting didn't have any at all. Trainspotting was fast paced from he start but had stops where they could show the names of the characters where as Avatar had a build up and when it was really fast paced it started showing titles. The trailer for Avatar was a lot more informative compared to trainspotting, as it showed you the basic storyline of the film where as trainspotting had a lot of different scenes but didn't really tell the audience what was going on.
