Trailer: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’s fun to fright ratio is just right

Jurassic World fallen world trailer 1

Everyone thought a Jurassic Park reboot was a daft idea. Okay, not everyone, mainly just me. But the series has evolved into a remarkable money maker, and a notable highlight on the release roster.

That could also ring true for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

The sequel to Jurassic World still stars dinosaur whisperer Chris Pratt as he’s brought in to betray the dinosaurs on behalf of evil suit-clad bean counters. Blue reprises her role as last remaining and most adorable raptor, while Bryce Dallas Howard also rejoins the cast.

The trailer itself strikes a comfortable balance between frightening, funny and frivolous, with Pratt bringing the humour, while the special effects boffins bring the sharp teeth.

It’s great that the series isn’t taking itself too seriously, and even the camp Jeff Goldblum cameo adds to the clip’s levity.

The movie hits US cinemas on 22 June and 8 June in South Africa, but for now have at the trailer below.
