"Us" is amazing

19. Still a really well-plotted movie and worth seeing!

Trailers are notorious for spoiling...but that was such a good one and it had more fun momentum than the movie, as trailers do.

I suspect they liked the trailer so much and the plot is so genuinely twisty that they didn't suspect people like me would love it and play it over and over and analyze the images. They created the trailer knowing what went down in the movie and didn't realize seeing trailer then movie would spoil the Act 3 suprise on subsequent view.

That, or they planned that to be a kind of lock-key puzzle for observant viewers who know how movies work. I had the correct visceral reaction when I prematurely realized the finale in Act 2, but that just subtracted a bit from the reveal at the end which would have been momentous as The Sixth Sense if they'd been a little more conservative in the trailer edit.
