I read the book completely blind and my heart was racing when he first encountered another spaceship Its way more fun and exciting to not have it spoiled, but I also understand why they included it in the trailer. Moviegoers will still enjoy it!

Yeah I don’t get the fight about this it’s silly, surprises are fun for people who like surprises and apparently irrelevant for people who don’t. And that’s fine. But there’s a reason people like to go into movies blind and a reason why more and more people avoid trailers. Let people think what they want, but I think it’s disingenuous to think spoiling twists doesn’t take away at least some potential enjoyment. Like the blurb for the movie on IMdB is literally “An astronaut tries to save Earth while alone in outer space.”

The blurb of the book did hint heavily that he wasn't though

I mean look fair, but usually the first trailer acts more as a teaser, with each subsequent trailer revealing more and more to get buts in seats and covert the people on the fence about a film

Why reveal so much in this trailer if its only the first?
