The cultural critics released an honest trailer for the box-office hit on Thursday. The trailer wastes no time suggesting that the latest Jurassic Park sequel was made “to exploit a new generation by selling them the same basic premise they already sold to their parents.” It outlines the story of how a bunch of “one-dimensional characters” have to work together to “thwart InGen’s plan to strap cameras on barely trained raptors’ heads and use them to hunt terrorists in Afghanistan.” Screen Junkies has plenty of questions to ask about the film’s plot, including “Why would they give a dinosaur created for public display the ability to camouflage?,” “Why do you have one fat lazy security guard for the most dangerous animal on the planet?” and “Why do these two characters (Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt) hook up despite never really liking each other?” Although they also point out that the movie had some high moments: “that T-Rex and raptor tag team fight was awesome!” ### Celebrities Who Look Uncannily Alike  Jessica Chastain & Bryce Dallas Howard Getty Images (2)  Orlando Bloom & Luke Evans Getty Images (2)  Javier Bardem & Jeffrey Dean Morgan Getty Images (2)  Minka Kelly & Leighton Meester Getty Images (2)  Daniel Radcliffe & Elijah Wood Getty Images (2)  Will Ferrell & Chad Smith Getty Images (2)  Henry Cavill & Matt Bomer Getty Images (2)  Tom Hardy & Logan Marshall-Green Getty Images (2)  Natalie Portman & Keira Knightley Getty Images (2)  Nikolaj Coster-Waldau & Josh Holloway Getty Images (2)  Mark Ruffalo & Chris Messina Getty Images (2)  Jeremy Irons & Daniel Day-Lewis Getty Images (2)  Johnny Depp & John Mayer Getty Images (2)  Mila Kunis & Sarah Hyland Getty Images (2)  Zachary Quinto & Eli Roth Getty Images (2)  Will Arnett & Patrick Wilson Getty Images (2)  Ryan Gosling & Ryan Reynolds Getty Images (2) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4071857/jurassic-world-honest-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4071857/jurassic-world-honest-trailer/"},"headline":"This Honest Trailer For Jurassic World Asks All The Right Questions","datePublished":"2015-10-13T19:35:41.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:46:53.773Z","description":"\"The best Jurassic Park sequel ever made, which really isn't saying much\"","url":"https://time.com/4071857/jurassic-world-honest-trailer/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","entertainment","Movie trailers","honest trailers","chris pratt","Jurassic World"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4071857/jurassic-world-honest-trailer/","name":"This Honest Trailer For Jurassic World Asks All The Right Questions"}}]}] ```
