Watching trailers to estimate the quality of the picture

Does watching the trailer will help to decide the quality of the picture? Is it exactly the same as the movie? I am trying to buy good movies but also want to make sure the quality of the picture is good. I bought the first Jurassic Park and was not happy with the quality of the picture and also some of the Bond movies. I guess some of the movies before 2010 or 2000 may not be good prints.

Appreciate sharing any tips or any recommended movies for the demo. I plan to add Ford v Ferrari. Let me know any feedback on the picture quality or how you decide before buying. Appreciate it.

I asked a similar question and was told that the trailers are NOT an indicator of movie quality. I think they are provided by a third party which I guess when you think about it makes sense because K wouldn't recreate the trailers. So mine is a 'secondhand answer' with the caveat is that is what I was told.

Thanks for the answer. That makes sense as audio also 7 channel stereo. I wish there are short reviews on picture quality here similar to avs forum reviews on 4k disks.

Trailers are absolutely not indicative of the quality of the image of the actual movie.

If you don’t own the movie, the trailer is streamed from a third-party service, and the quality of those trailers varies widely. Some of them are pretty good, others are not as good. Even the best ones, though, are streaming at a not particularly high bitrate.

If you’ve purchased the movie, some movies include a trailer as part of the download package. Those are often higher quality than the streamed third-party trailers, but they may still not match the quality of the feature.
 
Beat me to it...... :giggle:
