Some Thoughts On The Jurassic World Trailer

I love nothing more than a fun surprise, and getting the trailer for Jurassic World two whole days early certainly fits into that category. The first time footage from the feature had been shown, this was the world's first glimpse into what's to come for the beloved franchise. If the first trailer is any indication, we're all in for a treat come next summer.

Jurassic Park sequels have been hit-or-miss, to put it lightly. The Lost World I consider to be Steven Spielbergs weakest feature, while Jurassic Park III is derivative, but pretty fun. But Jurassic World gets something those sequels don't; these dinosaurs aren't just props for action sequences, they're animals. They can be both majestic and terrifying, and I love that the\trailer gives ample time for both sides of those creatures to shine.

The opening, depicting how cool the park opened up to the public is (and hey! Judy Greer!) is magnificent to watch, and the way fear becomes prominent fixture of the trailer by the time its conclusion is executed terrifically. The music is a major help here, a piano heavy score that helps reinforce both tones of splendor and terror. Really, there's so much to enjoy in this trailer, and my excitement for the film itself couldn't be happier.
