With less than a week to go until Jurassic World hits the cinemas, the final trailer has now been revealed, offering fans of the series one final chance to check out some fresh new footage prior to the film’s release on June 12th.
Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, the original dream is at last fully realised and Jurassic World has finally become a theme park open for public consumption.
This latest trailer for the film prominently features a new genetically modified dinosaur created at the park, the ‘Indominus Rex’, demonstrating the new dinosaur’s destructive path as it causes havoc throughout the park.
The underlying humour we’ve come to expect from the series is illustrated when a park employee, rescued from the raptor pit by Chris Pratt’s character Owen Grady, is then asked ‘Did you ever wonder why there was a job opening?’. Despite the hint of humour there is definitely a distinctly darker feel to the film than past efforts in the series, and the trailer offers an action-packed display of dinosaur devastation as humans and helicopters alike come under attack at the hands of the truly terrifying Indominus Rex.
Darkness and shadows are utilised to fantastic effect throughout the trailer, intensifying the sense of foreboding as the problems at the park continue to escalate. In a magnificent mix of night and day, the final Jurassic World trailer deliciously juxtaposes awe and terror as those in attendance at the park are taken on a journey of discovery and despair which ultimately leads to them battling for their lives as they seek to outmanoeuvre the most deadly of all dinosaurs.
Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson appear in the film as the nephews of Claire Dearing, the park operations manager, and find themselves forced to jump off a waterfall in order to avoid the clamping jaws of the Indominus Rex. The velociraptors are brought on side by Owen Grady in a quest to hunt the dangerous dinosaur down, and the dinosaur’s incredible intelligence is made perfectly clear throughout; the Indominus Rex is not just a dinosaur with an unquenchable thirst for blood, this is a highly intelligent killing machine with an overwhelming ability to seek and destroy.
Jurassic World was directed by Colin Trevorrow and looks set to smash the $100million mark in its opening weekend.
