The first trailer is brilliant.
Anyway I'll try reserve judgement on the Jurassic World trailer 'til I see the movie. Could be a different story altogether.
Film Jurassic World
- Thread starter Nickosaur
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

The element of surprise has long gone though hasn't it? Jurassic Park was essentially ground-breaking for many reasons, chiefly, CGI. People didn't really know what they were gonna get, or what CGI could do. Broadly speaking though, the point you make is valid, there is a huge difference in trailers now and then, and so by and large is there in the audiences.
I'm sure I read an article recently which discussed how studies of late revealed we don't like to be surprised and that movies and movie trailers accommodate this.
Interesting that every shot of a dinosaur in that original JP trailer is non-CGI. Maybe they didn't have finished shots ready to use in the trailer.
But I agree with the general point
I don't know, I haven't read that, but I would have put it more down to the instant gratification nature of the current audience. Of course these are both terrible generalisations but then I do enjoy a good generalisation.
It's like, why should we wait to see the dinosaur when I can just look them up on my phone.
Yeah that's true, they probably didn't have them ready, didn't Speilberg order a major overhaul of how they looked at one point as well?Interesting that every shot of a dinosaur in that original JP trailer is non-CGI. Maybe they didn't have finished shots ready to use in the trailer.
But I agree with the general point
The Prometheus trailer was a good example of trailer with a lot of footage, but which showed you nothing that ruined the mystery. It can still be done.
Perhaps the issue is that the majority of people won't want to go see a movie they don't have heavily spoon fed to 'em beforehand.
You'd think that would apply far less to sequels (let alone of hugely popular franchises) than original films though.
Probably, but I'd imagine a lot of the people they're targeting with this movie weren't old enough to remember Jurassic Park or even The Lost World.
Chris Pratt will bring the kids I'd imagine. And the dinosaurs obviously.

Another reason they may have saturated us with the new dinosaur is because it's nothing new really. A big reveal in the actual movie would be pretty disappointing.
I reckon the dinosaurs will be put off, it doesn't really paint them flatteringly.

DAS - Dinos against Speilberg.
He's a monster.
I'd hunt a triceratops.
The sheer levels of meta-incorrectness has amazed me.Prometheus also showed that an incredible trailer can lead to an utterly shite film.
Which in that case was a shame cos it could have saved us some precious time.
One of me favourite trailers is an early Social Network with a Creep cover over it, very well done.
Jesus that looks fecking terrible. Jurassic Park and The Lost World were classics, this just looks like a pile of shite.
The Lost World has aged horribly for me. All the characters really annoy me except for Goldblum. The t-rexes pushing the bus off the cliff still plays great though
Excellent trailer that, brings back memories. Movie marketing cnuts, can't live with them, can't live with them.
Don't like that clip.....
As a kid, who grew up obsessed with Jurassic Park and bullied my parents into buying me all the merchandise, that clip has left me as cold as the day I found out Gary Lineker shat on the pitch

There's a f*cking petting zoo.
I've read a couple of reviews online and it looks like it won't disappoint fans of the franchise, which is a bit of a relief. Apparently Pratt is very good in it.
Well that's encouraging.
Let's be honest, we weren't going to be talking about film of the year, but I'd love to see it get around at least around the 60 mark on Metacritic. If it does that, Trevorrow has done a really good job IMO.
I'd agree, I just think the fact he's such a big fan has to help.
No Crichton, no chance for a quality script/story
I don't care what anyone has to say, I'm going to see the midnight release of this and I'm going to love it.
Well considering an early script had a plot involving human dinosaur hybrid soldiers I think we can be happy with the story.
So true
I'm really looking forward to this now!I like what they did at Waterloo station.
It's one of the most advertised movies I've ever seen. Connolly Station is done up over here too, although not nearly as cool as that.
Feck my arse, I was in Waterloo for an hour on Sunday. They set this up Monday morning.I like what they did at Waterloo station.
When does the review embargo get lifted? Usually not a good sign when they leave it so late...

I need to see that tomato meter score.
Yep. And those verified reviews on Metacritic.
Yeah they've been out for a couple of days over here, and overall they're quite positive, say it's a fun and entertaining watch and that Treverrow has done a good job.
