Probably depends the age of who saw it.

They've been saying that for like 3 years now, that the franchise will take a small break after Jurassic Park 6 and that this was an ending of the 6 movies before it but that it would continue on in a "new" way now that dinosaurs live with humans.

Here's 3 promotional spots for the winter Olympics

I wonder if the trailer is gonna drop during the Olympics themselves since we're getting all these crossover commercials.

Rather creative approach to advertising.

Would have been better, if they had a clip, where Xi is eaten by a dinosaur, but...I don't think it'll happen. LOL.

Looks to be the Ghostbusters Afterlife of Jurrassic Park films. Or it could wind up being the Star Wars Episode 9 and Terminator Dark Fate of Jurassic Park films.

So either average childish movie or ****** copypasta.

Its like choosing between dead pigeon on your balcony and a cat vomit in your boot.

And it seems there will "San Diego rampage x 11".

I'm waiting for the one where they just stick saddles and lasers on the dinosaurs and just morph it into a Dino-Riders spinoff series.

Otherwise there is no f*cking point anymore. So just get there already and stop dragging it out.

Trailer is fine and honestly the story seems like the best option for dinosaurs being around the world. They are two separate stories with individual goals, the dinosaurs around the world are just a "factor" not the main story. I hope the movie bombs so we don't get any seques after this one but they always mentioned this would end the saga of the last 6 movies. So it's going to be "smaller" scale.

This trailer was simply amazing. I was not expecting it to be this “epic”.

I know it would be realistic given the situation but I really hope none of the main cast dies.

It’s cool to see the old characters have more than cameos. It definitely seems that way.

If it's good, it could end up being -- in one movie -- what the ST should have been in its last two. You know, a young cast and an old cast, the old cast propping up the young cast while still having their own moments to shine.

Mmm... some parts of his treatment seemed better, other parts possibly worse. I tend to think it might have shaken out "about the same," particularly when Kathleen Kennedy threw her weight around to get her way.

There is a reason there is apparently like 4 or 5 drastically different cuts of JJ's IX. Man, that is NO way to make a movie.

Trevorrow ideas looked certainly better, its just Ruin Johnson arrogance and fanatical faith of Kennedy in his abilities, have ruined any chances of episode 9 being anything good anyway.

I like we have feathered dinosaurs, some scenes from the book will make it, we have two separate stories that will collude together in the end and the movie is specifically not about dinosaurs destroying the mainland, it's just separate stories that deal with dinosaurs and dinosaurs are in the mainland but have been for a few years now so it's not a dinosaur rampaging through cities movie.

I don't think the trailer is amazing but I think the movie should be alright. After all, all JP movies are silly except the first one. I think this is where the franchise always meant to end in from the book to all the movies so I can live with dinosaurs in the mainland. I still hope the movie bombs and we get a reboot based on the book or a prequel to Jurassic Park or Jurassic World since I just find that setting far more interesting.

TThis movie they're taking a hiatus before they make a Jurassic Park 7 which continues this same continuity, this is still an "ending" of the legacy story. Jurassic won't become Dino-Riders but the rumor is that apparently there is a Dino-Riders revival that is meant to continue dinosaurs while JP is on hiatus, it should've started this year but it got delayed because COVID delayed the movie a year. There's evidence of this so it might be true.

I don't want to derail the thread too much, clearly the trilogy was unsalvageable but I think Trevorrow understands legacy and new blood a little bit better and would've given us a better ending even if still a bad trilogy. I think his ideas were a little too against what Kennedy wanted so he got the boot and returned to Jurassic and will now end this trilogy in a better way than JJ with Rise.

This doesn't appeal to me at all. I think I'm tired of all the nostalgia wanking. The last two weren't even good anyway. I liked the first Jurassic World at the time but once the rose colored glasses came off, I couldn't even sit through a complete second viewing.

It's just a much more amateurish take on JP1 and basically a requel to it.

Dawg, I can't even sit through the original JP movie. And I've made multiple attempts. I mean, I've seen it a few times but all I remember is Laura Dern in shorts. Nothing about it sticks. Hated the sequels. Never saw the new stuff.

I don't know what it is but these movies are not for me at all. Not saying they're bad, I don't think they are. I like dinosaurs and everything, I don't know why these movies don't register with me. But I figure if I've seen something like five or six times and STILL it leaves no impression, I probably shouldn't keep pressing the issue.

My wife loves them. Otherwise I only would have seen the original movie once, and I never would have seen the sequels.

Maybe it's the plots, or the cast. I sincerely don't know. I just know that none of these movies do a single thing for me at all. I feel like maybe I'd prefer something that had the same technology but more of a horror slant. I don't feel like anything I've seen takes the basic premise as far as it should, and maybe that's the problem. It all feels like a fairy tale movie type scenario when my head says this should be a global extinction event and treated as such.

But even that's just speculation. I sincerely don't know why these movies never grabbed me. Over-hype? Maybe. I kinda wish I knew. Normally when I don't like something, I have a good idea why. This series vexes me, because I don't like it but can't put my finger on why not.
