The 'Jurassic World' Global Trailer Is A Case Study In Humans Making Terrible Choices

We'd like to think that, in the real world, if news broke of an island theme park filled with prehistoric monsters that devoured half the team of beta testers who were sent to check it out, the general population wouldn't be clamouring for another attempt at close-up dino-human interaction any time soon.

In the world of the Jurassic Park franchise, however — and, more specifically, at the outset of impending fourth instalment Jurassic World — human hubris is apparently at an all-time peak, with the former site of the would-be Jurassic Park now fully realised into the titular attraction promised more than 20 years ago in the original because toilet death? What toilet death?

Of course, we knew all that already, but the freshly released global trailer for Jurassic World — which stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Omar Sy, Nick Robinson, Ty Simpkins, Irrfan Khan, Jake Johnson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Judy Greer and JP original BD Wong — gives us our first real look at just how careless humans have gotten in the intervening 22 years since John Hammond decided to give the responsibility of securing his park of monsters to an IT department comprised of two people. Here's a hint: very.

To their credit, the Jurassic World scientists seem to have cracked the velociraptor code that had former park game warden Robert Muldoon (RIP) so rightfully terrified, with the dinos now seeming to be trained minions of, rather than constant threats to, central hero Owen (Pratt), which is both awesome and yet slightly disappointing for a dinosaur once deemed to be so uncontrollable that the entire brood should be straight-up "destroyed".

Still, despite whatever advances they've made in taming raptors, there are plenty of bad decisions being made throughout Jurassic World — for starters, attendance at any one time is apparently in the vicinity of 20,000 walking meals, while the central call by "Corporate" to create a genetically modified dinosaur in order to boost attendance yields a wealth of unenviable outcomes, including the development of the dino's ability to communicate, to locate (and remove) its own tracking device, and a newfound sense of needless bloodlust as the scientists realise the dino is "killing for sport".

Also, Wong's character, Henry Wu, seems way too enthused about the fact the new GMOsaur was specifically "designed to be bigger than the T-rex" considering he actually knows people who ended up in pieces the last time somebody tried to play god. Great job, humanity!

Jurassic World is directed by Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed), with original-film director Steven Spielberg back on-board the franchise as executive producer. The movie is scheduled for a 12 June release internationally.
