Just to dispel the misconception, this film was not made by J.J. Abrams. It was produced by his Bad Robot company but was directed by Brad Bird.
Oh, yeah, and this movie looks awesome. I'm a huge mark for spy movies and this looks like it will deliver all the international espionage, familiar character archetypes and totally implausible action I'm in it for. It's pretty encouraging that what little action that was presented in the trailer is controlled, clear and visible--this is something that has been missing from the action scenes of most Hollywood movies for quite some time and I hope that future big-budget action filmmakers follow the cues of movies like this. It's too early to tell whether it will satisfy or fall flat like so many similar movies with great-looking trailers have, but I haven't seen an enjoyable major blockbuster action flick in a while and you can bet I'll be there opening night for this one.
