Nice and original concept, but it could be done a lot better.
The trumpet sound isn't to my taste, either because I simply don't like it or because it actually doesn't suit the track that well. I would rather prefer some oldschool synthpop detuned lead at a higher octave.
The distorted squarish and pluckish sound is a bit too static, but that should be an easy fix. Add a delay with short delaytimes, set it to pingpong and offset the stereo.
Add slightly more pumpingness in the sidechained compression.
I think the tone of the track doesn't suite the serious-sounding movie samples. It should contain more reverb.
Instead of using several moviesamples in the song, stick to only a few, and repeat them here and there.
My main impression on the structure of the track is that it's just a simple and boring song with loads of samples to save it.
Take those away, what do you have left? Not much. Give a little more effort on the track itself.
Hope it helps.
