The trailer gave me this weird feeling like I've seen the movie before, even though I obviously haven't. Then it started to dawn on me. Nearly every line in the trailer is a line from another similar action-adventure movie. I bet if you searched a corpus of scripts from all past movies, you'd find each line directly in some other movie. Then I noticed the same thing about the characters. They may look unique at a surface level, but the essence of the characters are all tropes from previous movies. Same for the fight choreography, same for the score. It's as if the movie creator's AI prompt was "Take every movie made in the last 10 years that would have appealed to 14 year old boys and mash them up into another movie with visibly different characters."
