I dunno. I'd probably have to watch the movie to find out.
I also don't think the dialog is particularly awful. It's kinda standard/rote, but it's not BAD. It certainly doesn't stand out as being anything too dissimilar to previous entries in the series.
This movie might not clear the bar Jurassic Park III set. But then again, I appreciated Jurassic Park III for embracing its role as a straight up monster movie. So if it gets close to that, I'll probably be okay with the film. I don't place the series particularly high up on my list, really. They're great spectacle with a whole bunch of silly filler inbetween dinosaurs eating people. This seems in line with that.

I swear I thought the pterodactyl, or whatever it is, was fishing the sea dino with people... that would be pretty fucked up lol
Sure, I can agree with that. Deep Blue Sea at least had some fun subversions and owned its stupidity in many cases. Jurassic World just looks like Jurassic Park in the most reductive, dumbed down version. Now it's not nature run amok, it's an absolute freak serial killer dinosaur and all kinds of other silliness.
Do you think that the huge Mosasaurus will kill the I-Rex?
I cannot understand how anyone would think this movie won't absolutely crush at the box office.
It's got Pratt and BDH (good looking male and female leads)
It's a follow up to a dormant but beloved franchise
It has DINOSAURS!!!!!!!!
It's gorgeous
It's going to be marketed more than any movie in 2015 not named "Disney's..."
How could it possibly fail?

"We're talking about an animal!"
UGH.
UGH.
2:00 - "something's wrong. They're communicating". cut to I-Rex roaring (therefore it is the one communicating). Followed by scenes of raptors attacking humans suggesting they've turned for some reason.
2:10 - Chris Pratt describes it as a highly intelligent animal. Cuts to I-Rex roaring at Pteradons. They fly off and start attacking visitors

Just gimme a Goldblum/Dern/Neill cameo!
Well, there's the difference I guess. To me the fact that 100% of the trailer's dialogue is either bland/forgettable or actually awful IMO tells me enough to make the call.
Of course there's the potential that the trailer is cut weird and the dialogue is actually pretty great, even that "it's an animal - an intelligent animal" could have parts cut from it that make it superior in its final form. If that's the case though why present it in such a bland, witless way?
I suppose I lack the faith to believe, years of Hollywood removing the magic and wonder in favour of well worm template design will do that to a kid.

First, I wanna say that, despite the bad posters and the bad teaser (imo), this trailer was good (despite the CGI). This could be a really fun movie and Pratt is a charismatic lead.
But yeah, the plot looks really absurd and dumb:

So that they, you know, don't eat the tourists?

2:00 - I think the guy was talking about the raptors.
2:10 - Roaring to scare them so they fly away, maybe.

Looks just like Jurasic Park
I wanted to see the park working for a long time.

Shitty Youtube grabs.
Raptor CG is looking good IMO--much better than before:
I-Rex(?) chasing some ankylosaurs:
I-Rex design is growing on me:
Michael Bay shot:
I like the underlying idea here that deals with the fickleness of modern society and the relation to the natural world. I mean, genetic modification to make dinosaurs more interesting to people IS a Crichton idea.
Now we just have to see whether it's actually explored in a believable way or just set dressing.
The director must love the shit out of turquoise.

The I-Rex is a hybrid Raptor/T-Rex. It makes sense that it would be able to communicate with raptors and given its size they would probably see it as an alpha. I don't think the I-Rex is "talking" to the Pteradons, probably just roaring at them.

The Gallimimus part wasn't bad at all IMO but the Brachiosaurus CG isn't that great.

It's absurd that anyone thinks mrklaw's assessment is wholly accurate. "Bad Dino can talk with the other dinosaurs and have them do its bidding" is so off-the-mark. It clearly is from the same scene with the raptors at night and is more than likely a meeting between Pratt's raptors and
"wild" raptors.
Yeah, I really wish they had stuck with a natural grade, rather than the blockbuster look.

Agreed. That's why I said "looks". I'm talking about the trailer impression. I hope the movie turns out to be good.
Got love movie side of GAF talk, calls films with shitty dialogue and acting while talk about how awesome Furious 7 is, a film that is masterpiece of shitty dialogue and acting with extra sprinkle of shit plot. That film is trying be serious so don't use the shitty excuse it not trying be a serious film
eh still not sure on this but I'm still baffled some people don't understand the whole public getting bored of dinosaurs so they create a new attraction plot

I'm so happy that they refrained from showing... certain things.
Also, that Raptor pounce.. soo good.
Owen (Chris Pratt) is ex military.
Hoskins (D'onofrio) is InGen Security - the largest private military in the world. They literally ARE mercenaries, and are different than the usual park security.

Frankly I could care less about what is going on in the film, I'd just like to do more than passively watch something, especially if it's trying to cash in on my nostalgia. The original script for JP4 to have a SWAT team of talking raptors sounded awesome, but they've gone from that to bland hunter with a heart of gold. At least Bay was subversive with his take on the Transformers.
He's still the merc with the heart of gold, so where the regular military is all guns a blazing, he uses his heart. The juxtaposition of his rifle versus their automatics is blatant enough.

You do realise that "movie side of gaf" isn't one person, right?
It's not that it's confusing, it's that it's an incredibly obvious way to set up the "raised bar" that's expected in a sequel.
What uhhh, what kind of things?

^ June 12th should be fun.
Also, I'm pretty sure the "Somethings wrong...they're communicating" line isn't talking about the I-Rex. It's about the Raptors.
