Trailers don't summarise the whole movie. And even if you feel they do, knowing the outline of a movie isn't going to ruin the actual movie experience itself. I avoid heaps of crap movies simply because I dismiss them out of hand by their trailer. Obviously there is the occasional movie whose trailer was crap but was actually exceptional. These come around again.

There is so much drek out there a strong filter and upturned nose is essential to carefully picking something that won't waste your time and money. Otherwise you're saddled with Transformers 12: Re-revengance the pre-sequel. Or Star Wars 8 ;)

It's how the same old variation of a story is told, how well did they pull it off, was it charming, was the dialogue and it's delivery any good, etc.

And watching a movie with another person changes the movie again. Or watching it at a cinema surrounded pigs at their troughs.

So many ways to appreciate movie watching that a trailer can't ever touch.
