There’s something a little off about this trailer for Jurassic World

If the official Jurassic World trailer is any indication, we have learned little in the quarter century since Sam Neill was first menaced by velociraptors. By doubling down on a bigger, better theme park, its creators are basically daring something to go wrong, which obviously it must. In many ways, Jurassic World the attraction is a metaphor for Jurassic World the sequel, as the logic of unnecessary redundancy is pitted against the spectacle of bigger budgets and better effects.

Maybe that’s what so delightfully absurd about this parody trailer. When a herd of Goldblum-headed Gallimimus appears, the nonsense is chaotic, as if the Cinco Corporation had assumed a controlling interest in the park. But by the time Chris Pratt is flanked by raptors astride their own dirt bikes, it feels suspiciously like there might be a message about excess buried in all this strangeness.
