i don't think it's the movie/trailer per se. it's the kanye west background music that cheapens everything.

No, these are some serious low-budget looking shots. There's no expansiveness to them.

It just looks really amateur-hour to me, like they brought Uwe Boll back to do it or something.

FWIW, ramping up a director to higher budget features by 10x isn't that uncommon.

E.g. Peter Jackson did this multiple times: low budget schlock, mid budget schlock, Frighteners, Lord of the Rings

Heh, when I first heard he was doing LOTR, I still thought of him as the guy who did Bad Taste.

It literally made no sense how he would be able to do that kind of movie. I'm curious how he was selected, actually.

IIRC, Jackson made increasingly more expensive (and increasingly higher grossing) movies, steadily.

I don't remember his career looking like the Creed situation, where your previous movie opened at < $100k
