New global trailer for Jurassic World [JURA4] remrej Apr 20, 08:18

The new posters are pretty awesome, too, especially the underwater shark one. {nm} RollingThunder Apr 20, 08:20

Not that impressed actually. The marketing seems to have got worse with time. {nm} reelreptile Apr 20, 08:22

So raptors can be trained and made subservient??? Talk about jumping the shark... {nm} numbersix_99 Apr 20, 08:27

It's a brilliant idea. Today's raptors could be trained, not to mention lions, tigers and killer whales. {nm} Antibody Apr 20, 09:40

In the first JP raptors were far more dangerous than any of those creatures. More like the creatures in the Alien franchise. numbersix_99 Apr 20, 10:43

Disagree on "subservient" or "bowing down". They are still animals, so it's good science fiction. Wild lions and tigers will eat you too. {nm} Antibody Apr 20, 10:50

That raptor didn't go crazy . . . he went RAPTOR! {nm} Chris Rock Apr 20, 11:14

PRevious films portrayed raptors as much more dangerous and intelligent than lions, tigers, etc... numbersix_99 Apr 20, 11:29

"more" is subjective. They hunt in packs like other animals. They are raised in captivity and would be subject to conditioning. {nm} Antibody Apr 20, 11:54

That's a reductive comparison. Like saying training pugs and tigers are the same. Look at the differences. Size and dexterity matter {nm} numbersix_99 Apr 20, 12:05

Size? Bears can be trained. Dexterity? Apes can be trained. {nm} Antibody Apr 20, 12:08

CPRAT is just so good, thrilled for his rise to stardom. Can't wait for this. {nm} skunkrunner Apr 20, 08:45

if your ass is dumb enough to go to a theme park with dinosaurs in the exhibits, you deserve to be eaten {nm} professor smartbrain Apr 20, 10:49

Esepcially after the first 3 attempts {nm} Dorfman Apr 20, 13:21

Is there any info on whether this is a solo movie or if they're planning to do more? {nm} MattW Apr 20, 11:08

It's planned as the first of a new trilogy {nm} notfabio Apr 20, 11:33

and then the inevitable crossover with Fast & Furious {nm} professor smartbrain Apr 20, 12:03

Fast & Raptor {nm} Dorfman Apr 20, 13:21

I just wish they left more to the imagination...or has it been proven more folks go to the movie is they get the cliff notes in the trailer? {nm} Catzan Apr 20, 12:37

God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs... {nm} Dorfman Apr 20, 18:48
