Of course, 2001 has so much good visual material that such a recut was possible.<p>But this confirms why I stopped watching previews.<p>1. They are rarely a reflection of a movie style, although they are at least forced to use the same images (but weird fact, not the soundtrack, why?)<p>2. They give away too many twists, what's the point of showing some major twist that in the movie happens 30 minutes after the beginning?<p>3. They are not helping you understand whether you'd like a movie or not, they are there to maximize the number of people going to the theaters.<p>I know it's more complicated than that. But roughly that's what comes down to it, for me.<p>Some of the trailers are so much similar to each other that it's hard to think it's not pure software what's making them.<p>Imaging going to watch the above advertised 2001, what would you think after watching the real movie?
