I wasn't gonna let myself have any presumptions or expectations about the movie until I can at least see the trailer. And now that I have, I have some very mixed feelings about it.
On one hand, the trailer seems to suggest that the movie is entirely a complete re-hash of the original Jurassic Park. You send some regular Joe to a dinosaur theme park, the scientists re-create the dinos from some extinct DNA, some of the dinosaur(s) turn out to be deadly, chaos ensues as everyone tries to get the fxxk out of the park. The previous movies in the series were following the similar man-vs-dino theme as well, but this one is just a blatant ripoff of the original in almost every sense of the plot. On that front, everything is predictable and in fact has already been seen before. When I look at the movie that way, it will be boring as fxxk.
On the other hand, watching this movie will literally be like a trip down the memory lane again. I watched the original movie as a dumba$$ teenager, and was completely left in awe. As a dumba$$ teen, I obviously thought the animatronics were awesome, but when I watched the movie again as an adult, there were obvious flaws to those. From the trailer, it doesn't seem to me that the CG dinosaurs were too fake, and I can still easily fool myself into thinking everything was real.
Gonna be looking forward to seeing this one on the big screen. I hope it won't disappoint.
