Two things to remember:

1. This was a teaser released for a small audience never intended for wide release. It is likely VERY rough and not indicative of the final product overall. Not a lot of time was put into it given how it's not a proper trailer and was done, again, for a small viewing. Literally it's only purpose is to tell us that the movie exists. You want better, wait until November. That's when the real trailer hits.

2. Pretentious is a pretty big, ill-fitting word. It's trying, and succeeding, to be dramatic and take Godzilla back to it's roots as an alegory for the atomic bomb and mankind's willfull abandon of mother nature in it's own desires for progress. Hardly pretentious, hardly worth being "irked" over in my opinion. It really helped the mood.
