Do movie trailers give away too much of the plot?

Reba Ludlom

Movie trailers are short videos that show a preview of a movie that is coming out soon. They are meant to get people excited about the movie and to encourage them to go see it. However, some people think that movie trailers give away too much of the plot. This means that the trailers show too much of what happens in the movie, so when you go to see it, there are no surprises left.

For example, let's say you see a trailer for a movie about aliens coming to Earth. The trailer shows the aliens landing, the humans trying to communicate with them, and the aliens eventually attacking. If you go to see the movie, you already know what's going to happen. You might still enjoy the special effects or certain scenes, but the overall plot has already been spoiled for you.

This is a problem because movies are supposed to be a form of entertainment that surprises and excites us. If we already know what's going to happen, it takes away from the experience and leaves us feeling disappointed. It's like our parents telling us what we're getting for Christmas before we even open our presents. It's not as exciting anymore.

So, to answer the question, yes, sometimes movie trailers do give away too much of the plot. But, it's important to remember that movie studios want to make money, and they believe that showing more of the movie in the trailer will make people more likely to go see it. As viewers, we can choose to avoid watching trailers or only watch teasers that show less of the plot. That way, when we go to see the movie, we'll be able to enjoy it without any spoilers.
