Could be alright. Won't live up to Jurassic Park, but then again nothing will.
Not sure how I feel about this hybrid genetically modified dinosaur. What I loved about the JP series was that they tried their best to portray them as animals, not monsters. So far this feels too much like a monster movie.
But I'll still watch.I just have to go into it with an open mind. Remember that this ISN'T Jurassic Park. It takes similar themes and is a new thing. It'll be hard not to think of this as a sequel.
Apparently the monster is a hybrid of T-Rex, Velociraptor, Snake and Cuttlefish.
I'm picturing a smaller t-rex with a longer neck, and camoflauge

I know it's the same universe as the others, but wasn't Isla Sorna made into a preserve? I wonder how you can get away with starting again on Isla Nublar.

Didn't like that trailer.
As a child who loved dinosaurs and learning about them, creating a new type of dinosaur completely ruins it for me.
One of the best parts of the original was seeing the dinosaurs you've always learned about brought to life in the movie.
Except and not to be a wise a$$ those dinoasurs weren't really all that accurate, especially the Raptors that they portrayed as Velocirapters. The Raptors in JP were more like Deinonychus
You know the more I think about it the more I wish that they would have used the close to life Velicoraptors in the first movie.
I just go back to that opening scene of Guardians of the Galaxy with StarLord booting the little predators around and then grabbing
I just think it would be classic to see that hunter guy snort when the Raptor stuck his nose out at him and instead of saying "You clever #######" he grabs it by the neck and starts singing day dream believer by the monkeys while kicking the other chicken sized raptors into the t-rex cage.

Looks terrible. Speilberg just cashing out the legacy of all their decent franchises. This will be like Crystal Skull Indy, with Speilberg Southpark raping a dinosaur instead.

Did Spielberg have much day-to-day creative imput on this movie? Thought he was just an EP like the third Jurassic movie.
Also worth noting that any sperging about the size of these dinos in real life can simply be waved away with the "InGen genetically designed them to be larger/spit poison/be all female/etc".
I dunno... you'd think they would have learned the lesson from last time. It's not like people aren't going to go to a park with live brontosauruses in it.
What's the risk reward of filling it with uncontrollable predators like velociraptors.

This. The wonder of that scene when Grant and that other chick first see the Brachiosaurus encapsulates what that movie was for me. I was a total Dinosaur nerd when I was a kid. Also some great action sequences that still stand up today were in that movie. The philosophical\sciency stuff elevated it from a money making machine to a credible blockbuster. For those reasons, I hesitate a tad with the whole monster thing. Love the cast though.

Yup, I remember thinking that. Raptors had a more narrow snout, the head of the movie version is almost a complete copy of the head of a Deinonychus (aside from the whole feather thing). It didn't really bother me a whole bunch though, an accurate Raptor isn't perfect for hollywood and the name Deinonychus wouldn't have worked at all in the movie.
I wonder how many people even knew what a Velociraptor was prior to Jurassic Park, and they almost became the stars of the whole movie.
Also after the 4th viewing, I just realized the single note piano bit was the original score.
As an aside, I think the blue lens filter may be every directors' favorite thing these days.
I am hopeful this will be good. The director, Colin Trevorow, co-wrote the script. He last directed a very unique, interesting indie film called 'Safety Not Guaranteed'. While his involvement does not guarantee quality for JW, it does bode well insofar as it at least should have a decent plot, which is more than I can say for JP2 and JP3.

Dinosaurs in the first one were pretty accurate for what they believed at the time. A lot of the nitpicking I see is stuff paleontologists theorized after. It has been 20+ years after all
One of the biggest net positives of the first movie was that it turned what people knew about dinosaurs on their ears.
the warm blooded bird theory suddenly gained a lot of momentum. Up until that point people thought that Dinosaurs were these massive slow moving sluggish monsters.
That some dinosaurs couldn't hold up their own weight like the Brontosaurus and because of that they spent most of their time in the water.
The T-Rex was given a whole new treatment, growing up most of the pictures had them straight up almost like the old godzilla monster. In this movie they fully embraced the bird orientation.

I find this movie (trailer?) has already turned me into a blatant hypocrite.
For years, I've slagged the Marvel movies (Especially Avengers) for being clunky, having a dumb premise, and having outright terrible dialogue most of the time.
The trailer comes up and it's "Ooooo, Jurassic! Dinosaurs! I'll ignore everything I trash other blockbusters for!"
I just don't care. Give me this movie.
Hell, I didn't watch Guardians because I thought "Chris Pratt? In the starring role of an action oriented movie? BOOOOO" but now it's all "Look at Chris Pratt! He's so cooooooool."
