10 Trailers That Make You Nervous About 2016's Biggest Movies

3. Gods Of Egypt - Official Trailer 1

Unlike all the other trailers mentioned on this list, this one outright makes the film in question look unashamedly sh*t, doesn't it? And so, having glimpsed this footage, there's pretty much no doubt that Alex Proyas's $140 million blockbuster will one day be relegated to bargain bins everywhere. Tell tale sign: Gerard Butler is in it (of course he is). Everything about the trailer for Gods of Egypt is terrible: the cheesy voiceover, the awful CG landscapes and cities, the way that it looks and feels about as "real" as a video game - not to mention all the awful slo-motion stuff and the CGI creatures fighting one another for reasons that the trailer fails to make properly apparent. Why did the studio decide to go forward with another generic action movie of this kind? Wasn't the failure of Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods and Kings warning enough? Didn't Pompeii prove that people seriously hate this stuff when it's done badly? Gods of Egypt looks really, really awful; you should more than worry about this one. You need to pray that the world actually ends and it never, ever gets released.
