[Trailer]

Jurassic World is the upcoming fourth installment of the Jurassic Park film series. It stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D'Onofrio, and BD Wong as Dr. Henry Wu, the only actor reprising a role from an earlier Jurassic Park film.

Plot synopsis (from Wikipedia):

Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Isla Nublar now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, as originally envisioned by John Hammond. This new park is owned by the Masrani Corporation. Owen (Chris Pratt), a member of Jurassic World's on-site staff, conducts behavioral research on the Velociraptors. After many years, Jurassic World's attendance rates begin to decline and a new attraction, created to re-spark visitor interest, gravely backfires.

Jurassic World is directed by Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) and written by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (the recent Planet of the Apes films). Steven Spielberg is on board as an executive producer. Michael Giacchino will be composing the score with original themes by John Williams. The release date is June 12, 2015.

Personal note: I loving love Jurassic Park. It's pretty much my favorite film of all time and I've seen it more times than I dare to admit. After both The Lost World (which I have a soft spot for) and Jurassic Park III (for which I don't) I was a bit wary at the idea of a new JP movie, but with the recent information that's come out I'm tentatively excited for this. Trevorrow is an interesting choice for a director and the premise is at least a bit different from the ol' "whoops I guess we're on an island full of dinosaurs now, better leg it!" formula of the other films. Also velociraptors with guns is dumb and I'm glad they didn't go there. :colbert:

The 10-year old kid in me is really excited about this movie. I just hope its closer to JP 1 or 2 than the 3rd one.

Plot will be silly (who could ever get bored of seeing dinosaurs??), Raptor Posse will be awesome, I just want to see a fully functional park for more than 5 minutes. Operation Genesis was my favourite game ever.

I've seen Jurassic Park like a hundred times. I've been really hesitant to get excited about this movie, but I liked the trailer. It looks like a real theme park and I can't wait to see the other attractions they come up with and watch people get eaten.

I just want to see dinosaurs in a decent movie.

And I hope the T-Rex gets more than just a cameo.

The general rule of thumb with Jurassic Park tends to be to not expect hyper-accurate dinosaurs, but dinosaurs that look awesome and exciting. They're genetically engineered after all with maximum profit in mind.

It really does look like Operation Genesis: The movie, which is what got me excited. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rex get some justice in this one, honestly. But I reckon the new whatever-o-saurus will be the main attraction.

Guess it can be chalked up to Velociraptors also being twice the size of real ones and Dilophosaurs having super spit, so why not. The double jaw is still a little off the wall though. Like the most we know about aquatic dinosaurs is from their jaws.

I'll bet the new super dino will be the main threat/focus with the T-Rex saving the day at the end, Godzilla-style.

No they will probably have a scene like JP3 where it will kill the T-Rex to show the audience its biggerer and badder than it.

This will happen because nobody remembers JP3.

I am partly torn wanting to see the Rex vomit a laser beam into the other dino's mouth at the end. I hope Rex's glory is restored in some other way though, the saving everyone at the last moment thing happened in the first movie and all. Having it feast on the recently slain carcass of a Spinosaurus would do me.

For some reason the Raptor Hounds are too much for me. Like it's so goddamn stupid. It makes me realize the whole thing is entirely loving retarded, and I'm terrible and can't have fun if Chris Pratt can ride motorcycles around these creatures that are super-intelligent mega killer villains in the other movies.

The Rex will be unseen until the climatic battle with the engineered dinosaur when all hope is lost. As Chris Pratt lies on the ground half-conscious he will notice the puddle of water next to him rippling. It's the original T-Rex from the first movie. Old, scarred, and missing an eye it bravely battles the abomination and gives it's life so our heroes can live.

Reading that made it even more insanely glorious for me. It's that whole sequel thing of the bad guys helping the good guys fight a new common enemy but since in this case the bad guys are goddamn velociraptors, I'm so into it.

I'm super excited about this. I don't like the idea of a genetically modified dinosaur being the antagonist unless at the end the T-Rex/Raptors become the antiheroes and contribute some Darwinist smack down.

I don't even care that Rex isn't the biggest, meanest dinosaur anymore. It's a cultural icon now and deserves more than being quickly dispatched by a lovely Spinosaurus.

Oh, can I be the first to complain about something?!

Chris Pratt seems way too serious in the role. Not that I want a retread of Andy or Peter Quill, but still, he seems boringly serious.

I also have this feeling that he's going to end up being one of those shock deaths of a popular actor, like Bryan Cranston in Godzilla. That's completely unfounded, just a feeling I have, and I hope I'm wrong.

And I, too, hope the lack of t-rex in the trailer is because he/they are going to show up at the end and wreck the new monsters poo poo.

I will watch and enjoy this movie, but I thought the trailer was pretty poor.

The lines were really bad. The problem isn't that they were corny and hammy - the original had plenty of that - but it's a combination of them being extra poo poo (often due to references, like I winced hard at the 'if something's chasing you, run away' or whatever line) and/or being delivered seemingly entirely straight-faced and seriously - which yeah, not every character saying stupid poo poo in JP were Malcolm or Nedry, characters whose actors and scripts completely embraced the goofiness, but why would you use Pratt's frankly quite poor delivery of cheesy or just outright bad lines in your trailer? Speaking of, not impressed by Pratt in that trailer, but I won't judge from a couple lines that were poor material to work with in the first place.

Also the CGI stood out (in a bad way that is) to me a lot of times during the trailer, which makes me apprehensive. The kid does not make me excited either.

On the other hand, super-dino and raptor-squad are terrible, but in a way I can go 'gently caress YEAH DINOS' about instead of giving a poo poo.

I think it's supposed to be a pliosaur (maybe a Liopleurodon or a Kronosaurus).

I dont really like the idea of a new dinosaur so much as the idea of something subtly loving up in an unforseen way, like the gender switching in the original. But hey maybe that will happen too.

I feel like there's going to be a lot more going wrong than the new dinosaur getting loose. That might just be the catalyst for poo poo going down.

Does anybody remember the script that was leaked years ago that was about the genetically modified dinosaurs and how they were able to control them and turn them into soldiers and poo poo like that? This movie seems like they took the idea, toned it way down, and now we have hybrid mutant dinosaurs and bloodhound raptors (if that really is the case).

O C C O Q U A N
For those that are annoyed at the behavior of the raptors, remember that the raptors in the first film had zero exposure to anything. They sat in a cage from birth and ate things that were put in. They had no society and were hyper-aggressive and over-confident. In Lost World we saw them hunting, that's it. In JP3 we saw them protecting their eggs. By the looks of it, Pratt is their trainer and likely has raised these raptors since birth. He is the alpha male of the pack. There is actual logic behind them being "good guys" for this movie.

And if you want to say that it's dumb and unlikely, remember that there are zoos and parks around the world where trainers pal around with bears, tigers, lions, etc.

I'm excited. Looks like fun with big crowds on the island, like a blend of 1 and the encampment/San Fran parts of 2. Also opportunity for more setpieces since CG is so far along even compared to JP3 (2001).

Agree that Pratt is a big strange when somber ("Depends on what kind of dinosaur they made...") but I bet when he says evacuate the park I'll be grinning.

I just hope we get a cameo of Ian Malcolm on some talk show saying how dumb the idea is, then gloating at the end.

I don't know why everyone is afraid that the new dinosaur is going to kill a T.Rex when of course what is really going to happen is the new dinosaur will kill a Spinosaurus, and then at the end the T.Rex will kill the new dinosaur.

This movie is going to be Rocky, just wait.

Since John Hammond's ~vision~ is a pretty big part of this movie, it made me think of the "memoirs" voice overs in the otherwise shoddy Trespasser video game. They're genuinely cool, not least because they're voiced by the late man himself (Sir Richard Attenborough). I recommend giving them a listen if you're at all interested.
