The Beekeeper 2 trailer, second by second
The Beekeeper 2 Official Teaser Trailer from Amazon MGM Studios and Miramax, starring Jason Statham, is on YouTube's new-releases list, so we ran it through v2neuro, our brain-encoding model trained on fMRI recordings, to see where the predicted brain response rises and falls across its 1:16.
The peak comes at 0:51
The strongest predicted response in the trailer lands at 0:51. The brain system leading at that second is the scene system, the part of the model tied to recognizing a place or setting.
We can't tell you why from the scan alone, and we won't guess at what is on screen. The scan gives a timestamp and a leading system, not a description of the footage.
The steepest fall runs from 0:55 to 0:58
The steepest three-second fall in the trailer runs from 0:55 to 0:58, right after the peak. A fall like this is not a verdict on the trailer: every clip has a steepest fall somewhere. If this were your own cut, 0:55 to 0:58 is the stretch you would open first.
A low first three seconds
For the first three seconds, the predicted response sits below the trailer's own median level. That comparison is against the rest of this clip, not against any other video.
Which brain systems lead
Across the full 1:16 scan, the scene system and general visual processing are tied for the most seconds led, 19 each of 76. The auditory system leads 15 seconds, speech processing leads 10, and color and object recognition leads 8. The control, attention and motion systems each lead only a handful of seconds, including the 0:51 peak, which the scene system leads.
How much to trust this scan
This scan comes with a per-second trust score, which says how far to rely on the prediction at each moment. On this trailer the mean is 40 out of 100, in the product's fair band: usable, but at the weak end. Read the shape of the curve, where it rises and where it falls, and not the decimals.
What this scan does not tell you
Everything above is a model prediction of group-average cortical response, from a model trained on fMRI recordings. It is not a measurement of any viewer. Nobody was scanned for this post.
It is also not a verdict on the trailer or the film. The scan gives timestamps, the brain systems that lead, and a trust score.
The film from this scan
We made a short film from this scan. It puts a short excerpt of the trailer beside the brain map. It is on our YouTube channel, linked under the chart above.
The full trailer is on Amazon MGM Studios and Miramax's own YouTube channel, and the second-by-second breakdown is on the share page linked under the chart above.
Frequently asked questions
Where does The Beekeeper 2 trailer peak in the predicted brain response?
At 0:51, led by the scene system. The steepest three-second fall follows right after, from 0:55 to 0:58.
How long is The Beekeeper 2 Official Teaser Trailer?
Amazon MGM Studios and Miramax's official upload runs 1:16. The v2neuro output for it has 76 steps, about one per second.
What does a trust score of 40 mean?
The trust score says how far to rely on the prediction. A mean of 40 out of 100 sits in the product's fair band: usable, but at the weak end. Read the shape of the curve, not the decimals.
