Did we really want a sequel to Jurassic World? Not really. But it's coming.
Despite its record-breaking performance at the box office, Jurassic World didn't captivate its audience the way Jurassic Park did, with its mutant creation Indominus Rex failing to resonate with dinosaur fans. But it seems like the producers learned from that and decided to keep the focus on the more popular dinosaurs for the sequel.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom does not follow humans surviving dinosaurs but rather has a new villain; a volcano. Chris Pratt returns as Owen and he is now attempting to save all remaining creatures from this new baddie. Humans and dinosaurs unite? Let's see how that works out.
Jeff Goldblum reprises his role as Dr Ian Malcolm and we can bet this will be the primary reason many will head to the cinemas to watch this flick. Even if it's a cameo, because, Jeff Goldblum. Is it just us or has this man aged to perfection?
Our second best returning character is the T-Rex. The makers of Jurassic World finally figured out the key to a good dinosaur film is an awesome Tyrannosaurus Rex. That roar took us back to the iconic scene in the first Jurassic Park!
It's official. The key to making a good Jurassic anything is Jeff Goldblum and a T-Rex.
We don't know how we feel about this upcoming movie. Yes, its full of nostalgia and palaeontology fans would love anything dinosaur, but the storyline has us feeling rather skeptic. Are we expecting raptors to suddenly work alongside humans for the greater good? Hey, if we can come up with it, you know someone's gonna make it!
Side note: one of our favourite moments in the trailer was Chris Pratt's running. How has that not been made into a thing yet, people?
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is the second film in the reboot trilogy and the sixth instalment of the Jurassic Park series. The film is slated for release on June 22.
