* '''Action (Welcome)''': First, | * '''Action (Welcome)''': First, there is 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, there is 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: There is 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. There is 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." | * '''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.

'''Audio:''' Throughout the whole trailer, | '''Audio:''' Throughout the whole trailer, there is a somber, yet powerful-sounding piano/orchestral tune. In the middle of all this, Kidman says "We come to this place for magic. We come to AMC Theaters to laugh, to cry, to care because we need them. All of us. That indescribable feeling we get when the lights begin to dim. And we go somewhere we've never been before. Not just entertained, but somehow reborn. Together. Dazzling images on a huge silver screen. Sound that I can feel. Somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place like this. Our heroes feel like the best part of us, and stories feel perfect and powerful. Because here, they are. AMC Theaters. We make movies better." | ||
