The audio mix needs help. The dialog needs to be a lot more up front, there needs to be some Foley and sound FX work, and you should be using some of the cliche transitional sounds.

The movie is being handed off for sound editing this week, I will pass on your comments to him and have him rework the trailer as well. Thanks.

Just remember that trailers have nothing to do sonically with the film. The dialog is compressed to push it out front which you don't usually do for the film itself; you may also use lots of sound FX that may not be in the film. Remember to have peaks and valleys - a constant audio barrage makes your audience tune out.
