    I was speculating on why the movie is underperforming by looking at the trailers, thinking about how people might form opinions based on those trailers, and by using what the word of mouth I hear and snap reactions I read online. In this analysis, the deep plot details are somewhat unimportant. While it might be subjectively “unfair” to compare the movie to Fury Road, that’s what is happening.

    I’ve seen the movie, but I’m not factoring that into thinking about why a potential audience isn’t watching it. Because of course, the people who aren’t watching the movie, aren’t watching the movie.
