'''Logo:''' | '''Logo:''' | ||
* '''Action/Sci-Fi (Welcome):''' An AMC circle logo appears on a white background, then turns into a parachute that zooms into the screen, transitioning to several dots parachuting onto a field at night as UFOs blast lasers at them. One dot juts away from a saucer, then pulls a cape off another. The saucer crashes onto the ground, landing to the left of "amazing" as its backside shows an AMC wordmark, which moves to the center. | |||
* '''Action/Sci-Fi (Policy Trailer):''' | |||
* '''Action/Sci-Fi (Emergency Exit):''' The UFO re-positions itself and zips to the right. The UFO abducts a cow in a field of them and zips away, and "Keep track of your stuff" appears. An army of helicopters head towards a giant angry robot, which holds one of the helicopters. A ninja dot climbs a helicopter rope and lands on the ground, where it and and several other dots in Viking and ninja gear charge at the robot ("Report suspicious characters"). The robot hits some dots with a bomb, then begins to walk around, revealing "Watch your step" on a footprint. The robot walks over "walk" and steps on a Viking dot. In an auditorium with a screen displaying "Front, Left, Behind, Right" and a few helicopters, its doors open and some dots exit an AMC theater. The robot comes across the theater and breaks a hole in it, startling someone at the concession stand, then grabs a popcorn machine and consumes all the popcorn. A helicopter transitions to the AMC logo on a black background. | |||
* '''Action/Sci-Fi (End Tag):''' A dot on a cliff struggles to use its jetpack, as a helicopter approaches it. The helicopter fires two rockets at the dot, and it flies away before he could be hit. The cliff is revealed to be part of the second M in "AMC Theatres Mobile App '''download now'''", with App Store, Google Play and Windows Phone Marketplace buttons below. | |||
''' | * '''Comedy (Welcome):''' An AMC circle logo appears on a white background, then becomes the logo on a car driven by a male and female dot through the woods. A bear dot reveals itself and the two dots swerve away from the bear. When the dots look behind them a couple seconds later, they find the bear on their car and panic. The car and bear drive away, and the AMC Amazing logo appears in the sky as it fades to black. The AMC logo moves to the center. | ||
* '''Comedy (Policy Trailer):''' | |||
* '''Comedy (Emergency Exit):''' The AMC logo turns into a keychain on the pair's car, driving across a mountain. The male dot bumps the car left, then the female bumps the car right. The car causes a gang to fall off their motorcycles, then they go after them, which the pair notices as they're in a tunnel. The pair and gang exit the tunnel and pass a family of five dots at a bus stop ("Report suspicious characters"). The pair move past a herd of cows at the road, which the gang thrusts into the air in a slow-motion shot ("Keep track of your stuff"). Some of the cows end up on motorcycles and pass by "Watch your step". The road splits into north, west and east directions with a sign displaying "Front, Left, Behind, Right"; three out of five riders take the north path. A cow lands onto a biker's two-seated motorcycle. Five riders drive into the night under "Exit the building", and the camera pans towards the moon, which dissolves to an AMC logo on a black background. | |||
* '''Comedy (End Tag):''' The male dot, wearing a towel, walks onto a tiled floor and then yelps and zips to the left, dropping its towel as "You still here?" appears. "You should join" and an AMC Stubs logo flip into view, and the dot drags its towel away with a toothbrush. "amcstubs.com" appears below the AMC Stubs logo, then the dot with towel moves to the right, and briefly peeks from the right. | |||
* | * '''Drama/Romance (Welcome):''' | ||
* '''Drama/Romance (Policy Trailer):''' | |||
* '''Drama/Romance (Emergency Exit):''' | |||
* '''Drama/Romance (End Tag):''' | |||
''' | * '''Horror (Welcome):''' An AMC circle logo appears on a white background, then cuts to a dot at a spooky swamp's walkway, infested with mosquitoes. A mosquito lands on the dot before it notices it, then drains the dot of air until it falls flat. The bloated mosquito flies towards the swamp, then sinks itself into the water, transitioning to the AMC Amazing logo. The AMC logo moves to the center. | ||
* '''Horror (Policy Trailer):''' | |||
* '''Horror (Emergency Exit):''' The AMC logo turns into a female dot at a haunted house. The dot gets distracted by lightning strikes as another dot runs across the stairs. Three chairs and a cushion rumble, then stick to the ceiling alongside "keep track of your stuff". The dot becomes frightened and runs through the house, noticing two twins in a corner at one point. The dot stops herself near a TV set, which then displays "Report suspicious characters" and shockers her. A cellar door opens and the dot is dragged through it. The dot falls out of the house, and into a cemetery, falling into a pit behind a grave reading "Watch your step". The dot climbs out of the pit, as red skulls emerge from it and graves displaying "Front, Left, Behind, Right". The dot comes across a skull, and runs away from the cemetery into a forest displaying "move far away" (the o being a hanging zombie head). The camera pans towards an AMC logo in the sky as the background fades to black. | |||
* '''Horror (End Tag):''' A male dot nervously looks around a sewer. Something runs past the dot, causing it to run towards a hole. The dot gets startled by a skull and falls out of the hole, revealed to be the o in "amctheatres.com". The skull growls and then disperses from the o. | |||
'''Technique:''' All in CGI animation. | * '''Coming Soon:''' A hole is drilled around the AMC circle, revealing a spy with a rope who jumps through the hole. A male and female dot kiss each other on a boat on a lake on a moonlit night, and several small heart dots appear. A masked dot at a doorway yields a chainsaw, then is hit with a pie. Having lost its mask, the dot laughs as "coming soon" appears from within its throat. "coming soon" zooms towards the screen and reveals the MPAA "accompany this feature" screen. | ||
* '''More Trailers:''' The camera zooms away from the words "see more trailers at amctheatres.com" in space, then they dissolve away and an AMC circle appears. | |||
* '''RealD 3D:''' In a mountainous area with the RealD 3D logo carved into a mountain, the angry robot walks towards the screen and bumps into it. The robot grabs some one-lensed RealD 3D glasses from its top compartment, then extends its right claw at the screen. The robot feels content and places its glasses into a recycling bin. | |||
* '''Pre-Show Coca-Cola Cup Holder:''' Six dots are gathered at a futuristic platform. Three helicopters carry a large Coca-Cola cup to the platform as it reveals a glowing opening, then the cup is placed into the opening. Four small birds and the angry robot place a lid onto the cup, and the robot is given the duty of inserting a straw into the cup. After completing its job, some birds give the robot a lift. The cup is then drank by the dot that went to the haunted house, in a crowd of other dots at a theater auditorium. The lights dim and the theater's screen displays "It's movie time!" and an AMC Amazing logo in the bottom right. | |||
* '''Coke Freestyle:''' Several dots, including the jetpack dot, bounce towards a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine in a field. The jetpack dot pours a grape Sprite Zero from the machine, then becomes supercharged from drinking it and disappears from the field. The dots and a few helicopters crowd towards the machine. A ninja dot chooses an orange Coca-Cola for another ninja dot, who is then teleported to a theater auditorium along with the other dots. The theater's screen displays "It's movie time!" and an AMC Amazing logo in the bottom right. Introduced in Summer 2014. | |||
'''Technique:''' All in CGI animation, designed by "Fletch" at Psyop under the agency Bailey Lauerman. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' It varies: | '''Music/Sounds:''' It varies: | ||
''' | * '''Action (Welcome)''': First, we hear a faint whoosh in which its reverb gets louder with a flapping sound. This segues into a dramatic fanfare with bleeping noises and explosions. As the dot is taken away, we hear the sound of the UFO powering down, and then a loud crash. A female announcer says, "Disarm your phone, soldier. Arm your senses. Engage. AMC Amazing." | ||
* '''Action (Emergency Exit)''': When the UFO flies away, a low synth drone is heard, followed by the sound of the UFO powering on and flying off. During the policy rules segment, this in order is heard: We hear the sound of cows mooing, followed by a repeating whirring noise which gets faster and higher in pitch, followed by the sounds of "thunking" and stretching, with the cow giving high mooing noises. This ends with a faint splat, and more whirring noises. As the helicopters fly over, a dramatic fanfare builds up and reaches its peak as rotors can be heard. Metallic noises from the robot are heard when it grabs the helicopter. Whooshes when the ninjas drop down, followed by noises of the Vikings yelling. The sound of a helicopter powering down and crashing. A loud "stomp" and the sounds of weapons clanking/bullet ricochets when the Vikings attack the robot's foot. Then, a mish-mash of sound effects, including yelling, bullet ricochets, and rotors from the helicopter. When the robot gets to the theater, ricochet-like noises can be heard, along with a loud crashing sound. The music stops here. We hear the sound of a chute opening, faint sounds of the popcorn falling, and one final sound of the helicopter rotors as one last dramatic note plays. The announcer says "Let's start this mission with a few safety tips. Keep track of your stuff. Report suspicious characters. And in case of angry robots or other emergencies, watch your step, and walk to the nearest exit, which may be in front of you, behind you, or on either side. Then, exit the building, and move far away from the angry robot." | |||
''' | * '''Comedy (Welcome):''' Begins with a synth tap. As we zoom out from the car, we hear the sound of it driving and a person whistling. After this, we hear the sound of a shocked bear roaring, combined with a person gasping and another person yelping. We hear the thumping noise as it falls out, along with stomping noises. When the bear chases the car, we hear the people gasping, screaming and the bear roaring behind them. A country-style tune plays throughout this segment, which later fades out. The announcer says "You won't need a phone where you're going. You are now entering AMC Amazing." | ||
* '''Comedy (Emergency Exit):''' The country music resumes, then gets interrupted as the sounds of bickering and the car skidding are heard from inside the car. A voice saying "Whoa!" can be heard. The music turns into a pounding rock theme as the motorcyclers line up and drive away, followed by the sounds of the motorcycles revving. This is combined with the sound of the car. We hear the people cheering as they all drive past them. When the car approaches the cows, the tires skid, followed by the cows mooing. We hear the cows being bashed. The music lowers in volume when they fly to make room for the announcer. A cow moo can be heard after she speaks. We then just hear the music and the motorcycles driving until the cow lands on one of the motorcycles, where we hear one last moo before the music continues and eventually fades out. The announcer says "Let's get this show on the road.. with a few safety tips! Report suspicious characters. Keep track of your stuff. And in case of cow collisions or other emergencies, watch your step and walk to the nearest exit, which may be in front of you, behind you, or on either side. Then exit the building, and keep on moving, baby!" | |||
''' | * '''Horror (Welcome):''' A low "thoom" noise is heard. Then, a loud thunderclap interrupts the ambience, followed by an eerie track with the sound of mosquitoes buzzing and the dock creaking. A synth bang followed by slurping sounds and a shrill note is then heard. We hear a pop noise and a "slurp" as the dot slumps to the ground, followed by buzzing sounds. Faint "putt-putt" noises can be heard. The announcer says "Honey, I'd beware if I were you. Welcome to the spine-tingling world of AMC Amazing." | ||
* '''Horror (Emergency Exit):''' After the AMC Amazing logo wipes away, we hear quiet footstep noises, followed by a crack of thunder. The girl gasps as she looks behind. More cracks of thunder are heard with the sounds of the furniture rocking and crashing with the sound of the girl gasping. A low synth drone is heard, followed by the sounds of the girl screaming loudly. A quick whoosh is heard. Another scream from the girl. Static sounds are heard from the TV as another loud crack of thunder is heard. Banging noises are heard as the cellar opens up, and another scream from the girl is heard followed by the door closing. She screams more as thumping is heard. Cracks of thunder. Groans from the zombies are heard as they rise out. We hear one last scream from the girl as she runs away, with a shrill track in the background. A whoosh when the camera pans up. The announcer says "There's nothing to be scared of. We just have a few safety tips. Keep track of your stuff. Report suspicious characters. And in case of hauntings or other emergencies, watch your step, and walk to the nearest exit, which may be in front of your, behind you, or on both sides. Then exit the building and move far away. Because there may be zombies." | |||
The announcer | |||
* '''Coming Soon''': Begins with a loud sparking sound and a sonic whoosh. A buzzing noise as the dot leaps at the camera. A stock sound of an owl along with faint sounds of the water, as well as a harp arpeggio with the sound of kissing. The sound of balls filling, which is jarringly interrupted with a dramatic note with the sound of a woman screaming and chainsaw buzzing. The chaos is interrupted with a pie splat. After this, the sound of the plate falling and a woman laughing. Final whooshes close out the trailer. The announcer says "Coming soon to AMC." | |||
* The "Coca-Cola" variant has an orchestral fanfare with a choir in the background, accompanied by the sounds of the helicopters. We hear a whirring noise, then a "slam" as the Coca-Cola cup is inserted. We hear more sounds of the helicopters as the lid is placed on, followed by sounds of pushing clouds. A spinning noise is heard as the robot spins the straw, followed by a "thoop" kind of sound as it is inserted. The fanfare rises into a triumphant state as the robot is carried off, followed by one last sound of the helicopter rotors. We then hear sounds of the audience in the theater, paired with a sip and an "ahh" from the girl. The fanfare concludes as the camera cuts to the theater screen. | * The "Coca-Cola" variant has an orchestral fanfare with a choir in the background, accompanied by the sounds of the helicopters.

* '''Adventure''': The AMC logo fades in with a blue spotlight shining on it | * '''Adventure''': The AMC logo fades in with a blue spotlight shining on it. The camera moves past the logo towards "keep track on your stuff", showing a golden pharaoh head idol on the left, and a bag of sand that activates the text rumbling. An assortment of letters are near a red centurion helmet and form "report suspicious characters". The words "front, behind, left, right" fly through a blue hyperspace tunnel and land left of a futuristic door, which opens itself to reveal a bright room with moving lines throughout. The camera zooms into the door, then "walk", "move", "far" and "away" are revealed by spotlights. To the left, behind some leaves are "coming soon" and a cup of water which get shaken twice. The camera moves away and transitions to the MPAA "accompany this feature" screen. | ||
* '''Family''': The AMC logo appears again with the scene changing to a fuzzy carpet with Reese's Pieces-like candies scattered around (a reference to ''E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial''), and "keep track of your stuff" hovering over it. A {{color|magenta}}-tinted spotlight hovers over it, sucking up the Reese's Pieces and the text. The camera zooms through it, revealing the text "report suspicious characters" (with the letters from "characters" twirling into their positions) is seen over a tiled floor as a Willy Wonka-style purple hat with a "10/6" tag (similar to the Mad Hatter's hat from ''Alice in Wonderland'') flies in and places itself at the end of "suspicious" and "characters". The dot of the first "i" in "suspicious" then comes off, releasing steam and a loud whistle. The camera pans to the right, which reveals a cartoonish hotel door with a stone bat on the top, a red carpet, and a sale sign with "NO HUMANS" scribbled on it, all on a stone floor (a subtle reference to ''Hotel Transylvania''). A white suitcase with a red handle rolls in from the darkness and stops next to the door while bats fly out from it. The camera zooms into the door, revealing the text "walk", hovering over a red wood floor and lit by a spotlight, with the camera moving up to reveal the text "move", "far", and "away" being lit in sync with the announcer. The camera pans through them and reveals the text "coming soon" hovering around a green crystal ball (similar to Elphaba's crystal ball from ''The Wizard of Oz'') on a stone floor. The camera zooms into the ball, segueing into the MPAA band screen. | * '''Family''': The AMC logo appears again with the scene changing to a fuzzy carpet with Reese's Pieces-like candies scattered around (a reference to ''E.T.

* '''Horror''': The AMC logo appears and pans down, revealing a platform with blood stains all over it, the text "keep track of your stuff", and a white doll (resembling Annabelle) with {{color|red}} ponytail hair, an orange flower on the heart, {{color|red}} lips, sharp teeth, and glowing cat eyes. The doll cracks its head, then lunges towards the screen, blacking it out. We rotate around the text "report suspicious characters" with lights circling around (similar to the deadlights from ''It''), which then fade away. A static TV can be seen on the side as a hand appears and rocks it for a second. We zoom past the TV to see a door with a white glow behind it, and the text "front, behind, left, right" beside it. The door opens, revealing the floor to be a wooden textured one. We see the text "walk", with lights turning on behind it to reveal "move", "far", and "away". We zoom past the text and go up to an egg sitting on a chamber which opens (a reference to ''Alien''), with the text "coming soon" glowing blue for a moment. We zoom into the glowing portion of the egg, segueing into the MPAA band screen. | * '''Horror''': The AMC logo appears and pans down, revealing a platform with blood stains all over it, the text "keep track of your stuff", and a white doll (resembling Annabelle) with {{color|red}} ponytail hair, an orange flower on the heart, {{color|red}} lips, sharp teeth, and glowing cat eyes.

* '''Animation''': The AMC logo appears and we pan down to an ocean floor from the inside of a sea anemone (referencing ''Finding Nemo'' and its sequel ''Finding Dory'') while a blue tang is swimming outside (Dory from the aforementioned movies) with the text "keep track of your stuff", which is covered with seaweed and moss. The camera then zooms out of the anemone to the "report suspicious characters" text, which is made of technology parts, and below that is a test table with a banana on it (a reference to the ''Despicable Me'' movies), and the banana shrinks and then starts to grow large while we hear the Minions (likely it's Stuart, Bob and Kevin from the aforementioned movies) offscreen. When the banana fills the screen we zoom out and reveal a cantina made entirely of LEGO bricks (referencing ''The LEGO Movie'') and the text "front, behind, left, right" appears forming on the studded floor like the letters are made of LEGO bricks. On the right, a wall and a door assembles and we zoom right into it. The text "walk" is seen, with lights turning on to reveal "move", "far" and "away". The camera then pans through a wooden floor to reveal a crook, a cowboy boot with "Bonnie" written on it, a green dinosaur and a cardboard box that says "army base" on it with green army men toys on it (all references to the ''Toy Story'' movies, with allusions to the characters Bo Peep, Woody, Rex and the Green Army Men). Over one of the army men with a pair of binoculars, wen see the camouflage-styled text "coming soon" as two paratroopers descend into frame. We then zoom into the binoculars of the army man, segueing the trailer into the MPAA band screen. | * '''Animation''': The AMC logo appears and we pan down to an ocean floor from the inside of a sea anemone (referencing ''Finding Nemo'' and its sequel ''Finding Dory'') while a blue tang is swimming outside (Dory from the aforementioned movies) with the text "keep track of your stuff", which is covered with seaweed and moss.

'''Music/Sounds:''' | '''Music/Sounds:''' At the beginning of every trailer for the AMC logo, is the sound of a light being turned on and the faint sound of buzzing. A whoosh is heard when the camera pans down from the logo (keep in mind that whooshes are heard every time the camera zooms through, past, or away from something in the trailer). | ||
* '''Adventure''': The first policy rule has a tense orchestral theme with the sounds of bats squeaking. After the camera flips, a faint sound of the plate sliding and a rumbling noise as the text shakes. A loud gunshot followed by bricks breaking is heard when the smoke appears on screen. The second policy rule has high ringing noises syncing with Magneto's helmet. The third policy rule has loud whooshes with the sounds of doors opening. The music then calms into a mysterious-sounding theme with subtle "thoom" sounds for the "coming soon" segment. The trailer ends with the sounds of leaves rustling. The female announcer says "Welcome to AMC. Before we begin our adventure, let's talk safety. Keep an eye on any ancient artifacts, or valuables you may have brought with you. And if you spot any villainous characters with suspicious agendas, report them to our crew. And in case of an alien encounter or any other emergency, be sure to search this vessel for the closest exit, and watch your step as you walk out of the theater and move far away. Now that that's covered, let's find out what's escaping soon to an AMC near you." | |||
* '''Family''': On the first policy rule, we first hear a held string note, followed by a whimsical tune made from flutes and chimes. We hear the sound of whirring combined with the candy clacking. The second policy rule has the sounds of sonic whooshing with a ticking beat in the background (it sounds like a clock) followed by a pop and a high whistle. The third policy rule has a whimsical orchestral theme with high squeaking noises for the sign and the sounds of bats squealing. The trailer ends with a mystical-sounding tune with triangle dings and a harp glissando. The female announcer says "Welcome to AMC. Before our family fun begins, let's talk safety. Keep track of all your stuff, and any candy-loving companions you may have brought with you. And if you happen to see any suspiciously strange characters with mad agendas, report them to our crew. In case of a spooky sighting or any other emergency, you'll want to check out quickly, so find your closest exit, and watch your step as you walk out of the theater and move far away. Now that that's covered, let's see what the future holds for you at AMC." | |||

During the second rule, tense piano taps are heard with the sound of static, along with the sound of glass breaking and the TV rocking. The third policy rule has a held string note with faint piano taps. The fourth policy rule has a rather calm-sounding score as the tense piano taps return when the camera zooms past them. The held strings come back as we get to the ''Alien'' egg, ending with an abrupt two-note piano finish as the camera zooms into the egg. The female announcer says "Welcome to AMC. Before this frightening feature begins, let's talk safety. Keep track of all your possessions, or any "possessed" objects you may have brought with you. And if you happen to see any evil spirits with suspicious agendas, report them to our crew. In case of a haunting, or any other type of emergency, you'll want to find the closest door to safety. Watch your step, as you walk out of the theater, and move far away. Now that that's covered, let's find out what's hatching soon at an AMC near you." | ||
* '''Family''': On the first policy rule, we first hear a held string note, followed by a whimsical tune made from flutes and chimes. We hear the sound of whirring combined with the candy clacking. The second policy rule has the sounds of sonic whooshing with a ticking beat in the background (it sounds like a clock) followed by a pop and a high whistle. The third policy rule has a whimsical orchestral theme with high squeaking noises for the sign and the sounds of bats squealing. The trailer ends with a mystical-sounding tune with triangle dings and a harp glissando. | * '''Comedy''': For the first policy rule, we hear a reversed guitar strum which rises in volume before segueing to a hard rock theme with the sound of a girl laughing, as well as the cards falling and the chips clacking. After the text flips over, we hear a "clink", followed by the phone buzzing and ringing. During the second policy rule, we hear a faint scream, followed by the sounds of the ghost trap and zapping noises. During the third policy rule, the music turns into a hard jamming tune with an audience cheering. The sound of the door opening is heard. During the "coming soon" segment, we hear the sound of the bowling ball rolling down the lane, which then ends the trailer with the sounds of the pins being knocked down, followed by a reversed whoosh. The female announcer says "Welcome to AMC. Before we start the shenanigans, let's talk safety. Be sure to keep track of your stuff. And any best "friends" you may have brought with you. And if you happen to see any slimy characters with questionable agendas, report them to our crew. This party's just gettin' started! But in case of an emergency, scope out the closest exit, and watch your step as you walk out of the theater, and move far away. Now let's be like the dude, and abide, as we find out what's rolling in to an AMC near you." | ||
* '''Horror''': During the first policy rule, we hear an eerie-sounding theme with bending strings, with the faint sound of a girl laughing. During the second rule, tense piano taps are heard with the sound of static, along with the sound of glass breaking and the TV rocking. The third policy rule has a held string note with faint piano taps. The fourth policy rule has a rather calm-sounding score as the tense piano taps return when the camera zooms past them. The held strings come back as we get to the ''Alien'' egg, ending with an abrupt two-note piano finish as the camera zooms into the egg. | * '''Superhero''': Throughout the pre-show, a dramatic, heroic fanfare plays in the background, with choirs joining in and getting more dramatic until the near end. During the first policy rule, police sirens and a reversed ringing noise are heard as the haze is on-screen, followed by a loud whoosh as we zoom through the window. During the second policy rule, we hear the sounds of pages flipping. For the third policy rule, laser zaps and phaser-like sounds are heard both for the "X" lasers and when the safe opens. Closing out the trailer are faint sounds of dripping and phaser sounds with a hip-hop theme which sounds like the beats from the theme song of the 2012 ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' TV series. The female announcer says "Welcome to AMC. Before we begin our heroic adventure, let's talk safety. Trust your super-senses...and keep track of your valuables at all times. If you witness any shady characters with strange agendas, report them to our crew. In case of a mutant takeover or other emergency, use your superpowers to scan the area for the closest exit, and watch your step as you walk out of the theater and move far away. And now, hang on to your shells, as we find out what's oozing into an AMC near you. | ||

The second policy rule has a somber-sounding string score with faint thumps and a quiet "thunk" when the mask settles on the text. A bell tune with the sounds of clapping and the door creaking is heard for the third policy rule. Closing out the trailer is a calm, light piano tune for the "coming soon" segment. The female announcer says "Welcome to AMC. Before we begin this love story, let's talk safety. Keep an eye on your most precious valuables. Don't let them 'slip' through your fingers. And if you happen to see any suspicious characters with masked agendas, report them to our crew. Just in case you come down with cold feet or if there's any other emergency, you'll want to find the nearest exit, and watch your step as you walk out of the theater and move far away. Now that that's covered, let's find out what's set to make a lasting impression at AMC." | ||

As the sound of a car speeding dies down, we hear an adrenaline theme with the sounds of the watch beeping and the suitcase closing. This theme continues as the sound of a door being slammed open is heard, followed by the sound of the door sliding open as the theme calms to an angelic choir. Closing out the trailer is the sounds of a racecar speeding and its tires screeching with a dubstep theme ending with a bell toll. The female announcer says "Welcome to AMC. Before we start this action sequence, let's talk safety. Keep track of any crucial contraptions you may have brought with you. Don't let anything get left in the dust.
