The only thing in the trailer that is REMOTELY science fiction looking is the space-ship, and if this is anything like the '80s version, even that is based on rock-hard science. The rest of it is just visual explaining how the universe works, so nothing to do with movies, but more to do with documentaries (which this is, basically).
The space ship would be a reference to our humanity in the future, so yes, a little "fiction" for our imaginations. As we learn more about the cosmos, we naturally wonder how we would get there, and how our technology might help us. Anyway, that's my take on it. Here's a screenshot from the show 30 years ago where Carl Sagan is narrating on a fictional space ship:
