'Jurassic World Dominion' Trailer Drops At CinemanCon, But Will The Film Have Teeth?
The final installment of the Jurassic Park franchise, Jurassic World: Dominion, has dropped a new trailer, giving fans a broader look at what they are in for when it roars into theaters on June 10th.
The film takes place where Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom left off, with the world inundated with the occupants of the former dinosaur attraction. In the trailer, we see a return of Chris Pratt's "trained" raptor, named Blue, only now she has a little one of her own. This leads us to believe that these supposedly sterile, all-female clones have the ability to breed now.
After Blue's baby is kidnapped, Pratt is dragged back into the action to retrieve the dino, only to get caught up in a battle for the planet against a slew of scaly (and, in some cases, feathered) predators.
Given this is the final installment (until they inevitably reboot the series), the band naturally has to get back together. Enter Allen Grant (Sam Neill), Elle Satler (Laura Dern), and Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) to lend a hand.
Also coming back for a final bow is Clare Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) and Dr. Henry Wu (B.D. Wong), the scientist who caused more damage than anyone in the franchise thus far.
What follows is a series of dinosaur attacks in major cities around the world as our heroes try to make sense of the chaos.
The film looks to have all of the earmarks of past Jurassic Park films, with jump-scares, humans getting devoured, and near-death action sequences - it's a fine trailer. My issue comes from the plot holes which will inevitably pop up throughout the flick.
Sure, a pterodactyl can somehow take down a plane traveling at high speed (probably not, but hey, it's a movie), but how many could there actually be patrolling the sky? Just get in a jet, a chopper, or what have you, and mow these lizards down with modern-day firepower.
Why would you even try to take these things on in a land battle? And if you did, last time I checked, these are living creatures that can take damage from, say, a TANK!
Honestly, this series, for all its spectacle, has lacked the true wonder Steven Spielberg injected into the original film back in 1994, continually delving deeper and deeper into nonsensical plotlines which only dilute the brilliance and innovation that was the original Jurassic Park. Now, I know that these are premature assumptions from a trailer, but I've been hurt before.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see if this is a hit or a miss when Jurassic World: Dominion is released in theaters on June 10th.
Check out the trailer for yourself, and let us know what you think.
