Super Bowl commercials: ‘Jurassic World’ trailer with Chris Pratt takes over the internet

You knew that there were going to be some movie trailers that completely dominated the internet the moment that they aired during the Super Bowl, and we have a great example of that right now courtesy of the official “Jurassic World” trailer released today. Executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, it is the continuation of the popular movie franchise that has been dormant for a rather long time.

Not only that, but this commercial is also one featuring a particularly popular TV actor in Chris Pratt. You know him from “Parks and Recreation,” and he also made a name for himself in “Guardians of the Galaxy” this summer.

The good – It’s dinosaurs, Pratt, and a beloved franchise. There is so much to like here for devoted fans that we don’t even know where to start. Also, it appears that the movie is making up its own dinosaur. Kind of risky, but this could still be fun.

The bad – Well, this franchise really hasn’t been that good since the original, but we’re not here to write about movies. Instead, we are talking about effective marketing. This does that, or at least so long as you continue to like this franchise. It’s not going to win over many people who already hate dinosaurs (i.e. have no soul).

The verdict – It’s a good ad for the movie. It doesn’t come across as cheesy, and it makes sure that you know that Pratt is the star of it. So far, one of the best trailers that we’ve seen as a whole for the big game. Grade: B+.
