 Though at least judging from the trailer, it seems to have gone rather well.

. IIRC the last time I see a prominently-featured Cerato it was in Asylum's dreadful B-movie Age of Dinosaurs:Quote:

I didn't have high expectation for JW1 and was only hoping for cool scenes with dinosaurs. The movie delivered. I had a lot of fun with it. I guess I'm gonna continue that tradition for JW2. Hell, we got volcano-action along with dino-action. That'll at least guarantee a good time at the theater (as long as it's not directed by Michael Bay).

It looks alright. Not getting the "holy crap!" feeling from it, but seems like a solid setup. A bit of a rescue mission operation that may likely go wrong. A race against time while trying to save some less than friendly animals. Though hey will be nice to see more of Blue and the good old T-Rex.

Well, I'm awake now and rested.
I have the feeling the eruption is actually a stepping stone for a third movie and an excuse for an actual dinosaur outbreak. It might actually be an indirect nod to the original novel's ending, wherein small groups of dinosaurs are confirmed to have migrated off Isla Nublar and are travelling deep into the South American jungle. Thing is, with the premises showcased in the trailer, I even think we won't see much of Henry Wu and his little hybrid venture, aside maybe from a passing spoken reference or two. Aside from the Carnotaurus (somehow I keep mixing Ceratosaurus and Carnotaurus today...different horns, you dummy! ), we might have also have an Allosaurus (1:51), judging by the lacrymal bone horns jutting out in front of the eye sockets area; I first thought it was something like an Albertosaurus or even a Daspletosaurus, but the horns are unmistakable. There are rumors of another hybrid, tentatively called Indoraptor, skulking around Isla Nublar, but that dinosaur in the lava-dripping scene is more reminiscent of a Baryonyx...and it's quite the right size, too.I additionally hope the writers are not going to pass off (i.e. name it) that volcanic smoke stuff as pyroclastic flows, because it pretty much means we just watched Owen Grady die in the trailer. Not only are pyroclasts incandescent (1000°C), they also move downhill so fast (upwards of 700kph!) they produce their own precursor shockwave that literally (and instantly) squeezes the air out of your lungs before the said rolling, burning clouds can touch you and roast you to a crisp. The pyroclastic cloud scene in Dante's Peak is actually a good depiction of the violence behind a PF. EDIT: little pet peeve - no one bothered conducting a geological study (and the mandatory risk assessment for the insurance companies) and tell Masrani his park was near an active volcano? Note that the original map for Isla Nublar does show volcanic steam vents on the southern part of the island, so the idea of an eruption doesn't exactly burst out of nowhere. The Lost World novel also confirms that it's a volcanically active area judging by the geothermal energy that kept the Isla Sorna powerplant alive, even years after Site B's abandonment.

The trailer is actually evocative due to the possibilities it presents for bringing the dinosaurs off the island as a conservation method, but grappling with whether "extinct" species should remain as such. It's an ethics question ostensibly unique to the series that is more captivating than the desperation to create a deliberate monster unlike any scientifically feasible projection. The lived in aesthetic also gives the advertisement an authenticity absent from Jurassic World

Well, wow. Some of these scenes are fully steeped in the horror genre. And again, how the F_ did Grady survive that pyroclastic cloud? He should have been roasted alive. And so that's not necessarily a Baryonyx Walkeri but another hybrid running loose on the island?

My personal opinion? This trailer is MUCH better than the original. Then again, the appeal of Jurassic Park/World has always been the horror aspect- basically, it's a horror movie for kids, and this trailer brought out that effect fully.
... granted, that opening scene of the trailer creeped me the hell out.

Speaking of that first scene...for a Dromaeosaurid (as I assume it is one, seeing that its foot had that trademark falciform second toe), it surely does have a long arm. I mean, judging by skeletons, I don't think even the Utahraptor Ostrommaysorum and Velociraptor Mongoliensis were able to extend their hands that far in front of their own snouts (unless the head was kinda cocked back, which wouldn't make sense). If so, their arms would be dangling so low they'd practically be quadrupeds.
Sure, it's done to maximize the horror element, but it feels rather unrealistic.

So.....I just saw the movie and I don't know if I want to talk a lot about it or not before others watched it. I'll just put it like this (spoiler free, I guess):
Fallen Kingdom (FK) is The Lost World (TLW) of this second (would be) JP trilogy. It's gloomier, it's darker, it's less fun and it can be a bit of a slog compared to JW. FK's story quality is more or less the same as JW for better or worse. For me, I like the first half more than the second half. Here are some things to note before you go to the cinema to watch FK:
