What is new and fascinating is that because of “The Prologue,” a 5 minute teaser that units up the world of the third Jurassic World movie, co-author/director Colin Trevorrow could have revealed how our authorities is looking dinosaurs.

What Jurassic World Dominion’s Prologue Shows Us

Most of the 5-minute sequence that units up Jurassic World Dominion reveals the precise prehistoric dinosaurs that have been the genetic templates utilized by Dr. John Hammond and his group at InGen. Creating the beasts we’d see in Jurassic Park, in addition to the Jurassic World movies, that DNA gave the world points of interest like Roberta the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Unfortunately for her, she has no concept how the world of humanity works in any respect. 

The again half of “The Prologue” is what actually begins to clue us into the type of fashionable issues InGen’s former property are going to trigger. What begins as an idyllic evening on the drive-in turns into pure chaos, as Roberta stomps in out of curiosity. Just as Dr. Ian Malcolm might have predicted, everybody begins working and screaming; and that is on high of the dinosaur in query being chased by a helicopter from the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

How Is The US Government Hunting Dinosaurs?

Limited to what we’ve been proven in Jurassic World Dominion’s 5-minute set-up reel, it appears just like the US Department of the Interior goes to have its fingers full with dinosaur element. Just on this occasion alone, it appears like US Fish and Wildlife are monitoring Roberta for far earlier than all hell breaks free on the drive-in. Helicopter patrols are in all probability just the start, as skilled hunters/conservationists will doubtless be drafted in as properly. That’s in all probability the place Chris Pratt’s Owen Grady and Bryce Dallas Howard’s Claire Dearing come again into the image, as that pair respectively maps up with these two pursuits.

Now skilled dinosaur handlers after two earlier adventures, Grady and Dearing are going to be an ever vital useful resource to those that wish to peacefully entice the dinosaurs which can be on the market. Whether they’re formally deputized into US Fish and Wildlife or they’re a part of another group aiding these efforts, we already know the way the federal government is trying to seize and presumably discover new properties for the previous inhabitants of Isla Nublar.

What Can We Guess About Jurassic World: Dominion’s Dinosaur Landscape?

There’s one other supply of knowledge on the market that really provides us a greater image of what’s probably happening in Jurassic World Dominion. Believe it or not, there’s a mini-stationary set you could have seen on sale at your native Target; you’d understand it by the pocket book that claims “Raptor Country” on the entrance. The satan’s within the particulars although, because the stickers included with this set trace in direction of the panorama this newest dinosaur drama now sees as the brand new regular. Take a have a look at these stickers under:

At the top of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, we did see a few of the new migrations lead the previous residents of the titular theme park to new and harmful locations. Details in these new decals observe developments, like how the possibly herbivorous Gallimimus now roams within the “Midwest Passage.” There are even species particular “observation committees” designated to trace beasts like Triceratops, and even Raptors, within the wild. Plus, as we’ve seen on this new prologue, Roberta the Tyrannosaurus, the useful foremost character of this new footage, is a creature of the mountains and the woods surrounding them. Dinosaurs are roaming the earth but once more, and now you understand the place you could find a few of them within the identify of pictures, and a few spontaneously intense cardio.

How Could This Prologue Tie Into Battle At Big Rock?

Back in September 2019, Battle at Big Rock was the primary tease in direction of that world that Jurassic World Dominion can be working in. Showing a household tenting out within the California wilderness, solely to be interrupted by a Nasutoceratops household and an Allosaurus crashing the celebration, it felt like the right setup for the following summer season’s potential blockbuster. Then the pandemic crashed the celebration, delaying the manufacturing and launch of Dominion to its present 2022 slot; which form of units up the query of whether or not or not Battle at Big Rock and The Prologue might work as one singular product. 

That prospect really does work for 2 completely different causes, the primary being that there’s no conventional narrative being informed in these reels. However, lining up the top of the brand new brief with the start of its predecessor, we go from the rampage on the drive-in to information studies of different dinosaur sightings. Ending with its personal have a look at what this new period of prehistoric motion appears like, Jurassic World Dominion’s two shorts spiritually mix collectively to make a 15-minute brief film that’s the right appetizer. It all fall squarely into the US Department of the Interior’s present jurisdiction of dino element, so it is in all probability finest to maintain all of it collectively anyway.

The Prologue initially resulted in its IMAX presentation, connected to the summer season blockbuster F9, with random glimpses of contemporary day mayhem that occurred outdoors of the drive-in encounter with Roberta, which for some purpose have been omitted. While not the identical scenes because the one’s included in The Prologue, that’s precisely the type of footage that ends Battle at Big Rock’s brief journey into terror. Colin Trevorrow’s level nonetheless will get throughout moderately properly within the barely modified model of The Prologue, and we even get new Michael Giacchino music out of the deal as properly. 

Watching these two prolonged teases collectively actually does set the temper for the following Jurassic chapter, and it isn’t even utilizing footage from Colin Trevorrow’s subsequent movie to take action. There’s nonetheless no clue when an official trailer could possibly be launched for Jurassic World Dominion, which suggests this newest spherical of knowledge goes to show very important to those that are eagerly awaiting the primary correct have a look at the movie. Who is aware of how a lot better the federal government will get at capturing dinosaurs between the time this footage takes place and the place the following movie begins? At the very least, we all know that it could actually’t get any worse, and there’s nowhere to go however up!

Not to say that if anybody is getting a bit antsy for extra potential connections within the Jurassic World trilogy to be revealed, Season four of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous may have its personal treasures to share. That enjoyable begins once more, solely on Netflix, December third; with Jurassic World: Dominion set to debut, solely in theaters, on June 10th, 2022. Perhaps these new episodes ought to be required viewing for US Fish and Wildlife brokers in the help of serving to them higher perceive their cinematic prey.
