Trailer suffering from tunnel vision


The trailer only showcases like the first 30 minutes of the film. There's a lot more to it after what we see.

How do you know?

IMDB's movie description:

Jean Grey begins to develop incredible powers that corrupt and turn her into a Dark Phoenix. Now the X-Men will have to decide if the life of a team member is worth more than all the people living in the world.

Google:

The X-Men face their most formidable and powerful foe when one of their own, Jean Grey, starts to spiral out of control. During a rescue mission in outer space, Jean is nearly killed when she's hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. The X-Men must now band together to save her soul and battle aliens that want to use Grey's new abilities to rule the galaxy.

Rotten Tomatoes:

In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite -- not only to save Jean's soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.

Nope, that is not an accurate plot description

Well whatever, they don't show any "aliens" in the trailer. Therefore, they will be in the movie.

I'm HOPING what you say is true and that they're keeping some sort of 'big reveal' a secret. Then again, I've said that with all the X-Mens in the past and have been disappointed every time. I'm interested and eager to see what FOX did with this film, being that it's post Deadpool and Logan. I can only wish they took notes.

Oh boy, just what I wanted to see an emotional rollercoaster drama x-men style. There better be at least a little cohesion to the source material and "aliens" or else this will be DOA.

Doesn’t look like it. But we’ll see.
