Pratt isn't very convincing rattling off these more serious-faced lines. I guess he's just typecast as the funny guy in my mind.
 
That fake CGI shark really is the biggest thing to me. Kon-Tiki's CGI sharks, by comparison, looked almost photorealistic in spots, and that was a low budget 2012 indie flick.
 
I think Pratt's "serious" tone is jarring because you're only seeing a few seconds of him in completely different scenarios.

It will be different when he's on screen for 2 hours and you actually get used to his character.
 
So...the story is hybrid dino on the loose? Ok I guess.

I don't understand the bitching though. Yeah Sam Neil, Jeff Goldblum and Attenborough were iconic in the first movie. But it's time to let it go, and appreciate new blood. It's this attitude that we can never be better than the first is why Terminator and Die Hard movies are still alive but nothing more than a shell of their former selves, with the original cast trying to recreate the original magic.
 
In this case it probably would have been better.

Ah, now eventually you do plan to have dinosaurs in your, in your dinosaur movie trailer, right? Hello?
 
Grant, Goldblum, Grant's love interest, female daughter, and Hammond were all fine characters.

The cast was fairly good by and large.

What. The biologist was not his love interest (in the movie)

Pratt isn't very convincing rattling off these more serious-faced lines. I guess he's just typecast as the funny guy in my mind.

I agree, it's kind of weird. He's neither cool like Sam Neill, nor is he tough like the 'clever girl' ranger man.
 
Holy shit that looks AWFUL. Chris Pratt has no charisma whatsoever.

The fact that this movie was filmed in about 20 seconds by someone nobody has ever heard of should have been a red flag for anyone hoping this movie wouldn't be garbage.
 
And not sure why people actually want dinosaurs in the trailer. Some of the best moments in movie history come from amazing reveals.

I'd rather them not show any dinosaurs in the trailers to be honest, though I understand that they probably have to.

At least PLEASE don't show the Rex or D-Rex
 
Looks decent, not sure about the genetically modified dinosaurs though. Seems like its going to be used to create a theme that GMO is bad. Not surprised that GAF thinks its terrible, almost every reaction to a trailer on GAF is people saying its horrible and commenting on the CGI lol. I wonder if the new star wars trailer will fare any better (if its released online)

The new Jurassic World staff sure learned from the pioneers.

This comparison/complaint seriously makes no fucking sense to me.

A flare was used in two different movies of the same franchise?! OMG.

Yeah that thing looks like a plastic bath toy.

Not that I disagree, but I like how you identify some of these memorable characters as "character's love interest" "female daughter" :)
 
This is going to be bad, but at least it'll be entertaining.

The best part about the trailer was the piano version of the original JP theme.

Wouldn't make sense for either of those characters to come back anyway considering they have both been in bad dinosaur situations twice now. They would want to stay as far away as possible.
 
I'm not really that on board. Looks like a bunch of running and screaming, but with token action-y setpieces thrown in. Dialogue is wonky some places as well. "She is highly intelligent, and will kill everything she sees". Besides the delivery being weird, it's just a dumb line.

Anyway, I hope the movie shows the animals as being animals, even badguysaurus, that each of them get their moment, that the movie has a lot of character focus with cute little scenes between characters with fun dialogue, and that the themes of nature vs. science, and the chaos inherent in nature are expressed in some way, in a way that isn't just "making dinos up is bad". I short, I want stuff that made they original great, and for them to develop on the themes of the original. And animatronic effects, lots of em, not just CG drum solos all over the screen.

Not saying these things will make the movie great for me, that depends if stuff is well done and put together. That said, I'll probably watch it and will possibly be entertained at least in parts.

And hopefully all the dinos won't be grey, green and brown in color. Adding color to more dinos was one of the best things JP3 did. I want blue, red, green, black, yellow on the dinos. Hell, throw some purple, orange, magenta, salmon, aquamarine, etc in there as well. If there's gonna be no feathers, at least make them colorful. And call the raptors by their proper scientific names, pls.

A opening trailer absolutely should have been character-focused more than dinosaur/thriller-focused. In that way, I think they dropped the ball. People can only extrapolate the worst from the few lines of poorly chosen dialogue shown without any context of what kind of world it takes place in. I still want to see dinosaurs, but this trailer didn't show off anything particularly well. I had a better impression with the old rough cut with placeholders more than this, personally.
 
Trailer didn't really do it for me. I'll still wait and see how future previews look, but it's hard to get a sense of what this film will offer other than a possible rehash of plots we've already experienced in previous JP films.
 
Go ahead and write that in concrete somewhere because fuck opinions.



I can't believe people are whole heartedly bashing this.

dat pendulum!

It's really just swinging between people who respect Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg's original vision versus the flock of Pratt fans.

I haven't seen the movie in damn near a decade. The only reason I remember Grant's name is people mentioning it in this thread.

What. The biologist was not his love interest (in the movie)
Ellie Sattler (now that I looked it up) was his girlfriend in the first movie.

It'll probably have better CG and it also has animatronics...
And this trailer IS terrible, Interstellar's trailer for example was pretty cool
 
Terrible dialogue delivery from Chris Pratt.

Yeah. All I can think of is Plinkett's Harrison Ford clip "THAT'S the best take you could get?" looping over and over in my head.

I don't even give a fuck, it's a new Jurassic Park. This is awesome.

"I don't even give a fuck, it's a new Star Wars. This is awesome."

"I don't even give a fuck, it's a new Tron. This is awesome."

"I don't even give a fuck, it's a new Superman. This is awesome."

"I don't even give a fuck, it's a new Indiana Jones. This is awesome."

Yep. I don't need to see dinosaurs in the trailer. But at least make me semi-interested in the fucking characters. I know as little about them after the trailer as I did before.

Just an awful, awful trailer. The CGI especially is SO bad.

I loved the book, loved the film, really couldn't care less about Pratt, and think the movie sounds like a fitting continuation of the themes of the franchise. Definitely more of a sequel than JP3, that's for sure

I'm not even that big of a Pratt fan. I like him, I think he's a good actor but I'm not really a fan of any actors. Also Steven Spielberg is a producer on this and they're lifting themes right out of the book and original movie.
 
I was like meh up until that last scene with Pratt and the raptors.

So it's gonna end up like Pratt and his raptor pack hunting down a genetically mutated super dinosaur? I'm in!

Well it feels indicative of rebootquel business as usual:
It will have some of the nostalgic key lines, it will play on scenes we love, it might even have a brainy hacker kid. All this stuff imo makes the universe smaller and the elements therein feel like they circle around the core of what people remember fondly instead of going boldly where no man has gone before. (and yes Star Trek is another one of those: Let's use some of the memorable lines, places, setups and remix them)

Also: Bryce, love you, but stay out of Ghostbusters please. :)

This isn't something you should use as a good sign.
