When a movie trailer depicts enough scenes to leave one feeling as if though they have effectively seen the movie.

The thought of actually going to see the movie is greatly diminished after viewing the trailer; The feeling of wanting more or anticipation is lost.

Opposite of trailer fraud
- "Did you see that trailer about "that new movie"
- "Ya... A bit of a let down..."
- "What do ya mean?! Doesn't it look totally far out radtacular!"
- "Well, what more can they show, it was a Trailer Travesty"
