The first trailer for Jurᴀssic World Rebirth has dropped, and it’s already looking like it’ll rectify a major mistake from the last couple of Jurᴀssic World movies. Set to be released on July 2, Jurᴀssic World Rebirth will follow a group of paleontologists and covert operatives to a dinosaur-infested island that served as a research facility for the original Jurᴀssic Park. David Koepp, the writer of the first Jurᴀssic Park movie, is back on scripting duties, and Godzilla’s Gareth Edwards is in the director’s chair.

Over the past few months, a handful of tantalizing plot details, casting announcements, and first-look images have been revealed. But Universal has finally given audiences a solid look at the new film with the recently released Jurᴀssic World Rebirth trailer. The trailer gives a tantalizing look at Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey’s characters, as well as teases for a bunch of thrilling action set-pieces. It also promises that the new film will bring back one of the core elements that made Steven Spielberg’s original movie so great.

Jurᴀssic World Rebirth’s Dinosaurs Are Already Scarier Than The Ones In The Past Sequels

The New Hybrid Looks Like A Rancor Crossed With A Xenomorph

It’s been a while since the Jurᴀssic World movies’ dinosaurs were actually scary. The first Jurᴀssic World movie had some terrifying sequences, like the Indominus rex’s jungle attack seen through the security team’s bodycams and the excessively gruesome death of Zara. But its two sequels have lacked genuine scares. Jurᴀssic World: Fallen Kingdom becomes a haunted house movie in its second half, but it’s so goofy that it fails to be genuinely frightening. Jurᴀssic World Dominion has plenty of dinosaur action, but the dinosaurs just don’t seem as threatening as they did in the early films.

Jurᴀssic World Rebirth looks like it’s going to rectify that with some of the scariest dinosaur designs in the franchise’s history. The new hybrid inspired by Star Wars’ rancor creature and the Alien saga’s bloodthirsty xenomorphs looks absolutely terrifying, and it’ll be a joy to see it in action on the big screen. Jurᴀssic World Rebirth seems to be bringing back the fear factor that was sorely missed in the past couple of movies.

Making Jurᴀssic World Rebirth Scary Connects Back To What Made The Original Jurᴀssic Park So Good

Spielberg’s Movie Was Genuinely Terrifying

The terror of Jurᴀssic World Rebirth will tie it back to what made the original 1993 movie so great. Spielberg’s film was a family-friendly action-adventure, but it was also a genuinely terrifying horror movie. From the T. rex’s escape to Dennis Nedry’s death to the raptors stalking Lex and Tim in the kitchen, Jurᴀssic Park is a really scary movie. Not all of its sequels have been as scary, but it looks like Jurᴀssic World Rebirth will bring the franchise back to its horror roots.
