I know it's a ways until the release so hopefully it will be polished, but the CGI in that trailer look like something from a SyFy movie. Also, the hybrid dino on a rampage make this look to be more Godzilla than the original JP. I loved the original, even with its many flaws. The sequels haven't seemed to even be interested in exploring what it was that made that movie (and book) interesting.
Well it would be what a SyFy or Asylum (Transmorphers, etc) script riffing off JP would sound like. Its quite clear that this is a "reboot/remake"/stand-alone-sequel (JJ's Star Trek) of the first Jurassic Park film (admittedly both sequels to that movie I did not enjoy at all). You will not have to have watched any of the prior films from the OT to watch this of course(tho I'm sure the first film will be alluded to), I mean c'mon, how many teens would want to watch a movie about animatronic dinosaurs and practical effects from over 20 yrs ago? The target audience is not that old. And no, I doubt this movie will have much to do with Michael Crichton's novel or Spielberg's storyline about boring paleontologists or mathematicians who interacted with creatures representing actual dinosaurs-- I mean dude, Galaxy's Chris Pratt is going to kick that hybrid monster's ass with that elephant gun--so cool... sigh jk
(But in their defence they had to make it a "hybrid" to avoid accusations of just outright remaking JP, tho they are)
In all seriousness tho, I think they are making the right move by remaking the first film. The sequels were quite painful and uninteresting, and if Christopher Nolan could take a concept and make it better, I'm sure these guys will do the same with the 'dinosaurs in a park' concept. It's JP '93 for the current generation, and although it won't have the impact or resonance of the first film, its better than nothing. they also might have mentioned the Actual actors on their cast like Omar Sy, Irrfan Khan and Vincent D'Onofrio.
