That clip sums up everything that has been wrong with this franchise since Jurassic World. Look at the movie theater scene - it is all revealed and done with in about 70 seconds, instead of taking the time to slowly build tension, have people get uncomfortable, and then commence with the action. Look at the difference between the footsteps in the puddle and where we are now. Just night and day in terms of building tension and suspense. 

 

True but also, building lots of tension to reveal something we've seen time and time again for the past 28 years won't work either. I do agree it looks sloppily directed/edited, though.

I won't lie to ya, that was a very long 5 minutes.

In fairness, this clip is likely shortened a bit to get all the money shots in (since this is apparently the same clip that played before F9 in IMAX this summer). These movies usually also start with the Amblin logo after the Universal one, and the former is nowhere to be found here. Would explain why it feels choppily edited.

I love how little people give a shit about this film that they've just dumped the first 5 minutes online.

 

(And agreed about the absolute lack of tension.)

 

Prologue was in front of F9 this summer. It’s not new. Also this probably has a chance at being the top Grossing film of next summer so saying nobody cares doesn’t make sense

That bit set in the past showed real promise and then the theater scene was just a poorly edited mess...

It’ll make lots of money and, paradoxically, no-one will give a shit about it. See also: Fallen Kingdom.

I've given up on any Jurassic Park sequel being a legit great movie.  All the sequels are fine if you just watch them as creature features.  I got a soft spot for some of those corny ones from the 90s like Anaconda, Lake Placid, Deep Rising, Deep Blue Sea, etc and thats what Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom reminded me of.

I really believe the Haunted-Dinosaur-Mansion-Clone-Girl stuff they pulled in the last film might've turned off more people than we'd like to think, but we'll see.

the second half of the movie was so fucking weird i kinda dug it

 

the part where the engineered raptor is playing dead while buffalo bill is trying to pry himself off a tooth trophy was so schlocky and good

Im a diehard JP Fan, but this is very true. None of the sequels are anywhere close to the first in quality but i personally also dont ever expect anything from them besides beeing entertaining. Its also kind of funny how Jurassic Park/World is a now Six Film Franchise in the first place, considering the first movie was all about "we tried a new thing ... and it failed miserably. Lets not do it again" and then in the sequels they do everything again.

 

Whats even more funny for me though is that this is imo exactly what would happen in the real word as well. 

[TheDude391]

The sequels are all bad ranging from boring dumb to fun dumb. I hope this one goes full tilt on the stupidity and insanity.

 

I wish this was a feature length, dialogue-less Dino prequel set 65 million years ago.

[Barnack]

I really do no share the Bayona entry has a bad one in that franchise sentiment, was maybe my second favorite to be honest (with a lot of embracing the non-sense and quite cinematic), specially relative to the Trevorrow previous entry (which after book of Henry and Stars debacle was not an obvious choice here I would imagine).

Once again, everyone will underestimate this film based upon muted online hype and then act shocked when it blows up int theaters.

[Menor the Destroyer]

People go to Jurassic movies for the dinosaurs so I expect the WOM of the last one to have little impact. Show a lot of sweet dino action in the trailers and people will show up. 

 

As far as that clip goes, the past stuff looked like a lot of fun, present stuff was whatever.

Not me i believe. Im fully expecting 500M DOM and 1,4 B Worldwide.

[Yandereprime101189]

This is gonna be huge. . . .you could even say DINO SIZED.

[Hatebox]

Jurassic World was awful but I maintain it could have been great schlock if it was actually the movie advertised: tourists getting picked off for 2 hours all over the park instead of that being confined to a 5 minute set piece.

This clip really shocked me at how completely devoid of tension there was...like what?

#1 next summer. Book it!
