The first part of the trailer made it seem pretty interesting. Then all of a sudden huge plot twist is revealed. The 'vessel' was actually a real person who was killed or captured or whatever...
share ... TOTALLY AGREE with the OP!!
I now refuse to watch any trailer the second I see/hear it.🙈🙉 To most this will sound completely whacky, but in our home, what I do is considered normal! The second a movie trailer appears, I shut my eyes, my fingers go straight into my ears and I start humming (been warned not to sing)! My reason for this is, between the amount of movies I watch (see lists), combined with how much trailers give away, nothing is a surprise or unexpected anymore. I don't read reviews before watching a film, nor do I read a synopsis. I have no preferred genre, so I'm happy to watch anything and not have a clue what I'm about to view.
But, that's just me! My partner is the opposite, happy to sit down watching trailers online all Sunday! It's fine by me, so long as no-one mentions what they know to me... the 'normal' one!

I agree with the OP, it's terrible advertising by these companies. Around 60% of trailers/previews give away too much of the films these days.
They have lost tons of business from me because of it, I know that for sure. If I see too much of a story, I can just imagine it all in my head my way, and I don't need to watch the most likely lamer Hollywood version. If I can see the basic entire plot in a film such as this one, I rarely ever bother to watch the film. If they had just told me Ben and Ryan were in this film and shown a couple of decent moments from the film, I most likely would have been at the theater watchin this flick. I say it's their loss really.
And no, you cannot avoid these trailers. I saw the Self/Less trailer at the theater a couple of times. It's very hard to ignore that. All this on the set/behind the scenes talk shown on theater screens before the films are bad too.
I went to see Black Mass a while back and right before the film, Depp is talking about the film and they are showing clips of the very film I just paid to see. They are giving away parts of the film, right after I pay and right before I am able to watch it. What the hell!? It's bad enough these clowns bombard us with car and phone ads before every film now. These executives in Hollywood these days are so out to lunch. They are killing their own industry to some degree, unbelievably stupid people they have running many of these advertising campaigns.
My body's a cage, it's been used and abused...and I...LIKE IT!!
It goes hand in hand with the dumbing down of society in general.
shareCan you stop watching trailers? Seriously, just stop.
