Pan and Jurassic World trailers

So before I go on, I should mention that it might be a little bit until my next review. I am in the middle of one of the last weeks of my time here in South Africa and part of that time here is writing a 40-60 page paper. I feel guilty writing anything other than that paper so there is a good chance you won't get another review until December...

Good thing December is 4 days away...

But, since I cannot seem to write a proper review of Die Hard (a review that may or may not be coming soon), I thought I would do a quick reaction post to the two new trailers that have come out in the past two days.

The first one I want to talk about is Jurassic World.

In all honesty, I don't have the emotional connection to the original Jurassic Park that a lot of people do. I've seen people react to it saying, OH MY CHILDHOOD IS COMING BACK! And I just don't feel the same way. I'm figuring out I had a very different childhood experience than a lot of kids my age, even kids I grew up with. While everyone else read Harry Potter and watched Jurassic Park I read Lord of the Rings and watched Star Wars... and when I say I watched Star Wars... that's ALL I watched.

Now of course, I have seen Jurassic Park since and I really enjoy the film. I think the music is great, the story is phenomenal, and the visual effects today are still pretty great. But when its 4th sequel is announced, ten years after a really shitty sequel, honestly I'm wasn't anymore excited that I would guess someone was who hadn't seen the film at all. Then I watched the trailer...
