    Saw a trailer which was quite literally just a compilation of Tom Cruise clips from his other movies.

    No info on plot, setting or story just “y’all love him” and… no, no I do not. Incredibly off-putting.

      So many people complain that trailers give too much away about a movie. Here’s a trailer trying real hard not to do that, and people complain it’s just a bunch of disjointed clips with no info on the plot.

      I’m telling you that’s for a reason. It’s avoiding spoilers. The trailer is not half as good as the movie. The movie is unique and compelling. The trailer is only confusing. And I can’t say I know how to make the trailer better without messing up the first viewing experience.

        Can you describe the genre? I don’t have any particular love for Tom Cruise, but he’s been in several movies that I have liked, of the ‘dystopian sci-fi mindfuck’ style, for want of a better description. Oblivion, Edge of Tomorrow, Vanilla Sky and to a lesser degree Minority Report.

        Never heard of this movie until yesterday.
