This video gives me the creeps.  I not really sure why.  I like it that Michael Fassbender is doing a great job on portraying a robotic role.  There is a touch stiffness but at the same time his eyes can show emotions.  Contradicting qualities but blends well with Fassbender's acting skill.   David also reminds me of Steven Spielberg's 2001 sci-fi drama AI: Artificial Inteligence, where the main protagonist is also called David.  I don't know if the idea is intentionally the same but both has a distinguishing quality of having emotions despite being mechanical creations.  The only difference is David 8 has an Adult form while David from AI is a mecha child.  This movie is slowly getting better and better with all this viral marketing gimmicks.  I'm quite very excited but at the same time very worried.  Very worried that behind the hype is an underwhelming film.  I really hope it is not.
