The song is interesting and can evolve very well. The most convincing part is that which goes from 1'15 "to 2'15". After this point, in my opinion, a change of tone and an addition of some reinforcing sound element (for example choirs or an electric guitar) could be fine to create the necessary climax for a cinematographic piece. Best wishes and good work.
so since you asked for some feedback i can give you some :)
since i dont know (accurately) what DAW you use, im going to say that you use either FL Studio or Ableton. now since i like FL Studio a lot more, im going to say you use FL Studio :)
there are a lot of things in this track that can be improved on and made better (i.e some of the ways you did things)
during the break at 0:23 the 808 could have been muted and the volume of the loop/vst's could have been increased to give a push into the next verse
during the bridge at 0:38 the filter (sounds like a highpass) could have been layered with either a gross beat or love philter and made more dynamic
the over all snare could be changed entirely and a more punchy/crispy snare could have been used but this is entirely dependent on your sample library (i.e what samples you have) if you would like any recommendations on individual sample packs, i can give you some :)
the 808 could use a little (not too much) distortion so that it stands out a bit more because in the current state it sounds like the volume is raised not saying that thats a bad thing, but in this genre, the 808 is the main part of the track and sometimes distortion makes it stand out a lot more than what volume can do
now lets shift our focus to the mix a bit more :)
overall the mix is actually really clean... not the greatest, but its clean
one way that you can really beef up your mix and make it stand out a lot more is to simply use a soft clipper maxing out the Threshold and barely increasing the Post Gain so that it stays somewhat clean while still giving off the illusion that its louder
along the lines of that, try adding a compressor and increasing the output volume just slightly while keeping everything else untouched
many people have very different views on how to properly mix a trap track and my mixing mentor has told me the same. everyone has different views but the main concept is almost fundamentally the same: make it louder while keeping dynamics and maintaining a clean, smooth mix
overall, these are just my thoughts on what can be done :)
hope you found some usefulness to this and i hope you have an absolutely beautiful day :)
If this is an original composition then nice job Grozzou!
As for the sound, one thing would be more variation in dynamics of each instrument. I want to hear bigger swells in the strings and brass, and lots of them.
The best advice I ever got was use reference tracks. Pick a track that is similar to yours in style and use it to get the levels and space of the different parts right. This makes me think of Hans Zimmer, so find a track like 'Taken' from 'The Last Samuari'. Download it, and keep comparing the sound to yours.
But really this is pretty sweet, wouldn't be surprised if I heard it in a film.

JackLake is right though, reference tracks will take you far when it comes to making "cinematic" music.
