I had to stop watching about 3/4 in when I realized they were showing all of the major plot points. I was looking forward to this, but now that I've seen most of it in the trailer, I'll spend my $20 on a half-decent bottle of booze.
What happened to the little aboriginal girl they showed like five times in the last trailer, without a word of dialogue or explanation as to why she was shown so much? It was rather annoying how she was inserted as some kind of exotic, mystic child presence as opposed to an actual story element.
I've been following this movie since day 1. All of the major plot points were NOT shown in the trailer, and the "aboriginal girl" happens to be a boy, and he's a major player in the story.

This movie looks like a wretched, cliched melodrama even Ed Zwick would be embarrassed to have directed.
Which imo means it'll either be a giant $200mil+ hit or an abysmal flop.
Depends on how poisonous Nicole Kidman *really* is at the box office.
