Trailer Park: Jurassic World's Second Trailer

In which I discuss the latest movie trailers.

With everything awesome coming out of the Hollywood marketing machine in recent weeks, it's easy enough to forget that Jurassic World is still a thing.  And that's really more the shame, because it actually looks really good.  That goes double for the new trailer that came out over the weekend, which you can see here:

So we're starting to get a better idea of what we're up against as all of the pieces start coming together.  Growing concerned over public ennui and falling park attendance, the owners of Jurassic Park pushed for producing genetically modified hybrid dinosaurs that never existed in nature in any form.  It's bigger than a T-Rex, smarter than a Raptor and hunts purely for sport.

The movie seems to be doing everything it can to make us forget about the last two movies in the franchise, and I'm more than happy to chomp at the bit.  BD Wong's back in his old role and Star Lord  Chris Pratt's character looks to be about as much immature fun as her was in Guardians of the Galaxy.  And that's not even mentioning how awesome it's going to be to finally see a functional, tourist-populated Park in the franchise.

While the trailer doesn't spoil too much of the movie (unlike some movies that I could mention), I do feel like it gives away a few too many set pieces.  We see the destruction of the Pterodactyl habitat that results on them picking off tourists from the first trailer.  We see more trained raptor action and theme park exhibits.  It connects just enough narrative dots for us that I would have preferred to remain in the dark about for a while longer (even if nothing that they revealed was ever too much).

I have to admit that the trailer has me pretty stoked about the movie, which ultimately the reason why they make these in the first place.  They have a great cast (something old, something new), great effects and a story that I can get well and truly excited about.  Here's to hoping that the movie will live up to its promise.
