Kind of wild seeing a franchise develop out of a film famous for its groundbreaking special effects absolutely frittering away that legacy by pumping out made for cable level effects.

What are we doing here? The problem isn’t digital, the problem is there are no physics here! Everyone and everything floats! Where’s the gravity?! Where’s the spatial relationships?!
I’m all for suspending disbelief when I’m in the dark of a movie theater but cinematic tension comes from our proprioceptive reactions. We want to wince because something looks like it’ll hurt. Yet nothing here looks like it can hurt because none of it has any relationship with physics!
Yeah obviously they’ll tinker with it until just before release, and there all sorts of exigencies wrt releasing the trailer now, but it’s a rough first foot forward!
What kind of exigencies are you thinking of? Do you think the CGI is more of a studio thing?
Gareth Edwards has two fantastic films in terms of visuals (Rouge One, The Creator), which are both CGI heavy. Given the credits, should we trust the process?
I’m generally opposed to the “I won’t see that movie I know automatically it’s bad and morally wrong” approach, but the Jurassic World series is my one exception.
I don't really care about this series but it's especially underwhelming since Gareth Edwards is behind the camera, a director known for (1) excellent effects and (2) scale, neither of which I see reflected in this trailer

reminds me of that Marvel trope where a superhero lands at full speed hand down and knee on the ground like that wouldn’t pulverize bone instantly
I hate to compare, but the Fantastic Four trailer had a polished CGI look. Rebirth’s CGI reminded me of movies that came out decades ago. King Kong?

Both of those movies’s trailers looked better
