"Jurassic World" hybrid D-rex dinosaur is still under wraps, but other dinosaurs featured in the movie are now available on the interactive website after official movie trailer reveal. Critics are torn on whether the new "Jurassic" ruins the franchise.
The "Jurassic World" trailer has dropped, and days after, the movie's interactive Jurassic World website is sporting images of 16 dinosaurs to be seen on the June 2015 film and a planned sequel, KpopStarz reports.
The sixteen dinosaurs now seen on the website are Triceratops, T-rex, Apatosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Domorphodon, Baryonyx, Edmontosaurus, Metriacanthosaurus, Gallimimus, Microceratus, Pachycephalosaurus, Mosasaurus, Parasaurolophys, Stegosaurus, Pteranodon, and Suchomimus.
The movie will be featuring Bryce Dallas Howard in the lead as Claire, one of the scientists involved with the creation of the D-rex, the "first genetically modified hybrid dinosaur," KpopStarz says. Joining Dallas Howard is Chris Pratt of "Guardians of the Galaxy" fame, Jake Johnson, Nick Robinson, BD Wong, Ty Simpkins, and Irrfan Khan.
The revival of a hit franchise that has been dormant for over ten years had viewers excited when a new movie had been announced, but unfortunately, the release of the trailer was met with varying levels of like and dislike for the latest "Jurassic" movie.
According to National Post, "Obviously no one in this movie watched the first three 'Jurassic Parks.'"
Meanwhile, Blastr mentions, "Some dinosaur purists were angry with the idea of using a hybrid dinosaur as opposed to a regular real life dino."
However, Blastr was quick to point out that in the "Jurassic Park" trilogy, only the first movie was a success despite the second and third movie aiming to "recapture" its success. The efforts were unsuccessful, and Blastr explains why: "We've already seen that story. It was the first 'Jurassic Park,' and it was awesome. We don't need a retread of a retread of a retread."
Master Herald adds that the second and third moving tanking is the reason why there had been over a decade of dormancy in the franchise. "The studio wanted to actually take some risks and try and make a good, interesting movie that will once again spark people's imaginations. So, in this context, it's good to see that they're thinking outside the box and introducing new changes to the formula," the article says.
Blastr also considers "Jurassic World" to be a fresh take on the original trilogy, saying that opting for a hybrid was "the natural evolution of the idea that we played God to re-create dinosaurs to begin with."
