Did I miss something in the trailer?

Nope. Moonie's just pointing out one possible answer to your question, a logical one based on the scenario in, ya know, the Planet of the Apes series.

Well, to me, the smart writing, nice performances, and fun of it overrode any pedestrianism I might have noticed in the direction. Sometimes, though, I noticed quite the opposite. I liked all the James Bond touches. I liked the training segment which used split screens instead of standard montage.

I don't know that it will stand up so well to repeated viewings, but I really liked XMFC and, though not a particularly high bar, consider it way near the top rung of comic book movies.
