The
movie trailer for the highly anticipated Jurassic World dropped early today,
showing something that was always wanted from but never achieved by INGEN. A
fully functioning Jurassic Park, renamed Jurassic World.
It’s
on an island, as was the dream, with kayaking down rivers of stegosaurus and
riding through glass balls to watch walking Apatosaurus – it seems like a dream
come true of all the original ideas with new upgrades (and not touring through
carnivores, about time they stopped that mistake). With even more ideas than
before, such as an outside amphitheater to watch a Svalbard Pliosaur jump out
of the water? That’s insane. How in-depth is this island in its immersion of
dinosaurs? It is more than a park, it seems like this is, indeed, an actual world
you are being flung back into.
This “world”
doesn’t look like it was on its “grand opening,” either, or its pretesting like
in the initial Jurassic Park: it is up and running. Swarms of people are seen
throughout the trailer, with sun hats and taking pictures and videos with their
iPhones. I mean, the parents of the two unnamed kids are totally fine with
letting their sons (who can’t be of legal age) go to the park alone. Although,
the for the Jurassic Park franchise, the parents have always seemed okay with
putting their kids in questionable danger. “Hey, why don’t you go ride in this
tour car with complete strangers by a king of the dinosaur’s exhibit when a
tropical storm is coming.” Or my favorite, “go ahead and para-glide with my
weird boyfriend by a condemned island known for years for murdering people that
come near it.” So the question of how long and how safe the island is from the
trailer from the kids going alone is only so sound, considering the franchises
track record, and can only be speculated on so much from the trailer.
Genetics is the new theme,
or the advancement of genetics is, with “a whole new frontier.” In the trailer,
it is announced proudly that the “first genetically modified hybrid,” was
created, with a questioning Chris Pratt. Of course things would go wrong, and
they have to hire a known, skeptic badass to come save the day. That plot point
seems a bit overdone, from Splice to
the creation of MewTwo, but there is
something that is different in each of them: how do they stop it. And that’s what
I want to know.
From the trailer alone, I
can tell that the soundtrack is already fantastic and the cinematography is superb.
The money and talent is definitely behind the movie, bring even Steven Spielberg
back to produce it. I mean look at how many extras there are. Even if the movie
has a disappointing plot, from the CGI and imagination put into it, it’s going
to be a hell of a summer movie.
Here is just my reaction to the trailer:
Hearing the original
theme brought back on piano brought me straight back to my five year old self
watching Jurassic Park on repeat while squeezing the life out of my triceratops
toy. I grew up on this movie more than any other (besides maybe Alien) and just
the fan service from the trailer its making me get goose bumps. I mean, motorcycle
with raptors? My heart is pounding from this trailer, I want to know what
happens so bad. Yes, I want to know what that dinosaur that they made is, but
what I really want from that movie that even the trailer gave me a taste of is
that nostalgia. Going back to this impossible dream that even though everything
goes wrong, there is a serene magic there among the blood and ruin. From one
nerd to another, if you liked the first Jurassic Park, I feel like this movie
is going to deliver that heart flutter of the original more so than any of the
previous sequels. I have a good feeling about this movie.
The Park Opens June 12
