I think you folks are overestimating my interest in troubleshooting a site's uninformative error message on an otherwise working system just so I can view a trailer on a site I don't otherwise use. I just found it a little funny that their "hacker" trailer wouldn't play on my "hacker" computer. Were this a problem I often encountered on sites, it would have been fixed long ago. <troll>And yes, I'm aware it probably works on Ubuntu. But I'm using Linux. :-) </troll>

For what it's worth, it played just fine for me on Xubuntu 14.04 in Chrome. It's just that the acting was difficult to watch..

The beginning scene was cringe-worthy.

It is a html5 video player; I don't understand ._.

I got the same error on Chrome on Windows. None of the videos work.

html5 + mp4 + Firefox don't always play well together.

No problems on an ubuntu 14.04 with chromium
