Watch the 5 Minute Prologue to JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION Directed by Colin Trevorrow

Universal Pictures has released an opening five-minute prologue to the next chapter of the Jurassic World franchise, Jurassic World: Dominion. The prologue was directed by Colin Trevorrow, and it “rockets audiences back 65 million years into the past to experience the world before humans existed—and offers a glimpse of a world in which dinosaurs are living among us.”

This is actually awesome and visually stunning! As someone who has been fascinated by dinosaurs since I was a kid, it’s pretty incredible to see that world brought to life in such an incredibly beautiful way. Seriously, I don’t recall ever seeing anything like this before, what it would have actually looked like 65 million years ago when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

After that, it cuts to the present day with a T-Rex being hunted down by people in a helicopter as it stomps through a drive-in theater terrorizing people. I’m excited about this movie!

When previously talking about the movie director Colin Trevorrow talked about how this film is a celebration of the whole franchise saying:

"To me, [Dominion] is a culmination of one story that's been told. When you got to the end of the Jurassic Park trilogy, it may not have been as clear in what the complete story of those three movies was because they were a bit more episodic in the way that they were approached. But this trilogy is not that way. It's very much a serialized story. What was important for me was, when you watch Dominion, you really feel like you are learning how much of a story that first set of movies was and how everything that happened in those movies actually informs what ultimately is able to happen in this. If kids who are born today are going to be presented with six Jurassic Park movies — you hope the parents will buy them the box set — you hope they are going to get to feel like they watch one long story."

The movie stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Justice Smith, and Daniella Pineda, and they will be joined by additional original Jurassic Park stars Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, and Laura Dern.

Jurassic World: Dominion is set to hit theaters on June 10th, 2022.
