Jurassic World -Franchisen wrote a check that the rebirthetrailer refuses to cash

2025’s summer movie season officially goes prehistoric because First trailer before Jurassic World Rebirth is here. The seventh movie in Jurassic Park franchise and the first of a “new era” after Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard-led trilogy wrapped with Jurassic World Dominion, this new post comes from director Gareth Edwards and has a brand new role crew, including Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali. Despite the talent involved, including the return of the original Jurassic Park manuscript writer David Koepp, the film’s prerequisite feels as shown in the trailer as a step behind this series. Where is the world of dinosaurs that fallen richly promised and dominion again seemed to tease?

Let’s look at what the trailer is doing and doesn’t show and why Jurassic World Series seems to be missing out on its greatest opportunity.

Back to chalk

The Jurassic World trilogy may have had one Mixed reception From critics, but the franchise stands as one of the most consistently lucrative blockbuster properties at the worldwide ticket office in the last decade and is changing. Global audience loves their dinosaures, and although Universal planned to draw the role crew from the first three world films, several dino -blockbusters were all guaranteed. The study was quick to look up a new role and crew for additional rates, with director Gareth Edwards from 2014’s Godzilla and Rogue One fame was the most interesting element. Edwards may be unmatched among his contemporaries when it comes to conveying scale in VFX-Tongue Blockbusters, and his background in CGI gives him a leg up on four-quadrant film compared to the many Sundance Babies or Indie Movies Darlings as they can Like Marvel, who often pour up to their projects.

And it shows in the trailer: The dinosaurs look amazing in motion, and Edwards’ eye behind the camera and a lot of attention to detail when it comes to proportions, and lighting already makes this new movie watch leagues in front of many Incredible Blockbusters We have seen in recent years. That he achieved this on a truncated schedule (he was only hired in February 2024 and was already in production In June) is all the more remarkable. We don’t get enough time with the new role crew of characters in the trailer to get the best sense of whether they will be worth investing in, but the action looks good and we definitely get lots of dino -screening, something that is not so guaranteed As we would like to think. Do you remember the evil grasshopper from Jurassic World Dominion? Wait, don’t you? We don’t blame you.

Although we have reasons to be carefully optimistic in terms of rebirth, the fact that the film does not appear to use the “World of Dinosaurs” concept teased since Fallen Kingdom’s end hangs over the trailer as an exploding volcano.

An island? Again?!

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: There is another Island full of dinosaur. Apparently neither Isla Nublar nor Isla Sorna, but a secret third thing, Jurassic World Rebirth takes place on an island said to be “the research facility of the original Jurassic Park.” By putting aside that it is not really square with former Canon, it retreats to franchise tradition to put the film on a tropical island populated by dinosaur removed from any form of civilization. Why are we doing the same song and dancing when the former trilogy ended with dinosaures all over the globe? According to the official synopsis provided by Universal, ”five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proved largely invaluable to dinosaur. The remaining is found in isolated equatorm environments with climates similar to the one where they once thrived. “

I mean it assumes, but does this not beat anyone as an unnecessary course correction? Why use so much of the earlier trilogy to try to create a literal law world if you didn’t want to use it? Similarly, Dominion went back Fallen Kingdom’s ending to contain most of the dinosaur action within a gated-off preserve in the Italian Alps, rebirth now vomiting Best new idea The series had for years with dinosaurs that exceeded the world in the wake of Fallen Kingdom’s events. It is a Bisarr creative choice when you try to establish rebirth as a relaunch of the brand with new characters and ideas as they continue to run back to the same well that the franchise has always boxed in.

Nor does it really seem to make sense with the established Lore for the previous films. Dominion showed Dinosaurs all over the world in its first half, from snow -covered areas to urban environments. If the outside world was so invaluable to dinosaurs, why did they seem to have no problems with it in the last movie? Especially when Malta Chase in Dominion, where we saw predators tearing through a city, was the best and most creative set in that movie? The Jurassic franchise is one of the safest efforts in Hollywood; People will definitely always want to see dinosaurs. So why not take a chance and do something really different with this series and maybe unlock new dimensions that you haven’t explored before?

Of course, it is possible Jurassic World Rebirth has more tricks up the sleeve than they show in this first trailer. The original title of the film even was rumored to be Jurassic CityThe hint of a type of environment, the trailer intentionally hides. But no matter what it may be, it is a lot of time for the Jurassic franchise to move past the tropical island motif. We do not say that they have to go full planet of the apes with dinosaur (but maybe they should …), but there may certainly be some middle ground to see the dinoses of new environments. We’ll see how Jurassic World Rebirth is shaking out, but so far we hope the franchise finally learns the value of exploring something new instead of packing something old.
