I ended up a theater for the first time in a while and enjoyed the trailer to Crawl a surprising amount. Lots of the percussive sound design you guys have been talking about, and I noticed that it doesn't actually reveal what the monster is for a bit. I think it was this cut in particular:

 

 

It was in the middle of actually 20 minutes of other trailers I enjoyed significantly less, so I'm feeling like I need to find a new place to watch movies.

Haha that Crawl trailer shows off SO much of the movie, but it does have lots of fancy editing. I don't really have any desire to see it, but I still kind of wish it showed less.

 

Some of the artsier movie theaters tend to show fewer trailers, but big chains like AMC definitely do show what feels like 20-30 minutes of trailers.
