    Well it looks like the Internet has gone insane saying how bad this trailer is and that it has given away the whole movie.. I seriously doubt that we've seen anything from the second half of the movie in that trailer.

    I honestly don’t get what people were expecting. There’s a lot not being shown in that trailer.

    I’m still looking forward to it. I love all of the Jurassic Park/World movies. Even the third one. Pure popcorn movies.

    Only good thing about that trailer was Dr Ian Malcolm back in what looks like a fleeting appearance..

    .. fell asleep in the cinema at the first JW (the one time I've ever fallen asleep in the cinema in probably 25/years), so I'm gonna give this a pass.

    I'm just to cynical and critical of movies lately, i think from now on i'm just going to view the future Jurassic series as the old 60's and 70's

    japanese Godzilla movies and just enjoy it for what it is, a "Monster Movie".

    I have not seen the new trailer and i won't, i'm not even going to read what the plot line is and just hope for a good Monster flick.

    I saw Jurassic World sat in the same row as two young teenagers. During the whole movie they got excited, got scared, screamed in various parts, but thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing.

    It's closer to Jurassic Park 3 than Jurassic Park 1, but geared more towards the teen market than any JP movie. And it worked for them.

    So lazy. They're going to rescue dinosaurs so they obviously need BDH and Pratt from the first movie, some young kids just along for the ride a team of expendable militia and a plan that falls apart because they forgot to take into account how unpredictable DINOSAURS are.

    And don't forget Teus Rex Machina.

    I find it highly unlikely that an ageing T-Rex would attack another apex predator like a Carnotaurus in those circumstances. Must still be banging of guilt after eating your man on the sh*tter all those years ago and still trying to redeem herself.

    The Reddit thread on this trailer reeks of disappointment but my expectations are so low that I thought it was fine.

    Looks grand, might be enjoyable enough.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,980 ✭✭✭conorhal


    Looking at the plot synopsis, it seems that they have taken all the most eye rollingly dumb elements of Jurassic World and formed the central plot around them.
    The military seem to be intent on stealing the dinosaurs for their dino warfare project, wouldn't the be better off exploring drone tech? And we back to 'smart, friendly trained raptors', jebus this looks awful.
    The less said about 'running away from pyroclastic clouds of super heated ash pouring out of volcano's' the better....

    Don't forget those stupid mobile spheres - please let there be some Dino Footie!

    That is one bizarre, badly-paced trailer.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 35,941 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Man, that whole 'running away from a giant CGI (dust)cloud' set piece continues to look so fake, I really don't know why it persists in blockbusters as a minor trope.

    As to the trailer, meh. It looks like a blockbuster. Goldblum's moments came off awfully phoned-in, and disconnected from the main action so I'm wondering if it was an expensive, 1-day shoot to ram in some nostalgia bait.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,128 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    Bit of a weird premise and I guess I'd worry about what actually could be there, in terms of story, apart from what was shown.

    Anyway, I'd be excited for it. I've enjoyed everyone that has come out including the last one which I just re-watched recently and still thought was great.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,981 ✭✭✭Unearthly


    I'm going to be one of the few here who actually liked it. For some reason i thought it was going to be about turning dinosaurs into weapons for wars so pleasantly surprised unless they have that for part 3

    Trevorrow has confirmed on Twitter that all the trailer footage is from the first 57 minutes of the film.

    I wish more films would do this and stop showing scenes from later on, especially when they often show scenes from the climax of the film.

    But in reality it's probably a pretty bad idea from an advertising point of view.


  • Registered Users Posts: 805 ✭✭✭mrmorgan


    this looks awful being honest, but bryce dallas howard looks fantastic as always


  • Registered Users Posts: 805 ✭✭✭mrmorgan


    also did the black mirror fans smile at the start of the trailer???

    It's pretty much the norm for teaser trailers to not reveal much, especially when the film is 7 months away from release and the visual effects from the second half of the film aren't finished yet. I also suspect directors/producers tend to have more input into the early marketing material but as release approaches the grown-ups take over. Either way I think we can be assured that the next trailer when it arrives will spoil every major set-piece and most of the plot.

    I'll go to see it because it has dinosaurs, Jeff Goldblum and the music of John Williams, but scene for scene it looks like a reboot or a retelling of JP2 : The Lost World. The plot looks almost identical.

    The first Jurassic world was a nod to the first Jurassic Park so maybe this will be a nod to the lost world.

    It makes sense they’re going down that route.

    But why? Jurassic Park is well lauded. The Lost World is...not.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,881 ✭✭✭Peatys


    Normally just switch off the brain and enjoy these, but JW was on a whole new level....



    Won't be bothering with the new one..

    Fallen/Lost
    Kingdom/World

    Rehashy reboot, dollar in the bank.

    I'd nearly stake my collection of Dinosaur magazines from the 90's and my almost complete glow in the dark T Rex skeleton that there will be a second team there, headed by someone that is also in that senate(?) scene with Ian Malcolm, tasked with capturing dinos.

    Barring the gymnastics, I liked JP2, but the book deserved a better movie.

    He's sitting in what appears to be a courtroom/boardroom, arguing legal precedent with a bunch of suits...while the lead is running from a pyroclastic flow surrounded by panicking dinosaurs jumping off a cliff...a slight disconnect is to be expected I suppose :p

    Absolutely loved Jurassic world, so looking forward to this - it for the life of me I can't see where the plot or story is in that trailer.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    I don't know who that kid is, but I look forward to the constant peril he will be in where I could not give a shít if he surives or not, as a matter of fact hoping he doesn't survive so better characters can survive.

    Given Ian Malcolm's return was much publicised I had expected he be part of the actual adventure. Instead it comes off as low effort attempt to shovel Goldblums character into the movie without actually having to include him in location shooting. In fact I'd go so far as to theorise that he'll have 5 minutes screentime, probably around the debate about what to do with the dinos, then another quick cameo near the end on a TV report. Enough to slap him on the promos.

    Indeed :) (I was being facetious anyway :o)
