New Jurassic World Dominion trailer introduces Baby Blue

The newest trailer for Jurassic World Dominion is asking the important questions, like “Can a dinosaur truly be adorable?” or “Shouldn’t the child of Blue be called Green?” Regardless, the bigger questions after this trailer are “Who stole Baby Blue? And what do they want with her?” Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) had better find out fast, because with Baby Blue gone in the wind, Momma Blue is no longer his best friend. The bond between Owen and the raptor named Blue was a key part of the last two films. But now, Blue is having some trust issues.

A lot has changed after the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Since the rest of the dinosaur clones were released into the wild, they’ve been springing up all over the place. It’s sometimes easy to forget that Earth was once their world, and now they’re taking it back. But perhaps the scariest dinosaur of them all is the Giganotosaurus, which is briefly teased in the trailer. A more familiar-looking T-Rex also puts in an appearance.

Fortunately, Owen and the current generation of heroes have some backup. Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are all returning from the original Jurassic Park trilogy. And this time, they have much larger roles in the story.

Yes, they’re bad, but the Jurassic World movies are fun too

Jurassic World Dominion remained atop the box office during its second weekend, mainly because Lightyear severely underperformed. Despite Dominion's negative critical reception, it's undeniable that the film is a hit with audiences; it has an A- on CinemaScore and a 78% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Sure, those two aren't exactly badges of honor when talking about quality, but they sure as hell are indicators of a film's potential success at the box office and longevity in streaming services.

We look down at most modern blockbusters because they offer us nothing beyond the cheap thrills of their basic premises. And although recent examples -- Dune, The Batman, Top Gun: Maverick -- have proven there is space for depth and nuance in major motion pictures, most modern blockbusters remain firmly set on the repetitive and by-the-numbers approach spearheaded by the superhero genre and championed by the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, there is something noteworthy -- dare we say, admirable -- in a film that knows what it is, who it's for, and what its ultimate goal is. After all, a blockbuster's purpose is to entertain. More than any other type of film, a blockbuster should keep audiences happy for the required two hours. While it can have a deeper meaning, an extra layer of sentimentality, or a thought-provoking message, at its core, the blockbuster exists to entertain its spectacle-hungry audience.

5 games to play if you liked Jurassic World Dominion
A dinosaur roaring in Jurassic World Evolution 2.

Jurassic World Dominion is out to close the six-movie storyline that began with Steven Spielberg's all-time classic, but there are other ways for fans to satiate their appetite for dinosaur-themed content after leaving the theaters. Given the natural mainstream appeal of these awe-inspiring animals from the prehistoric ages, blockbuster IPs like Jurassic Park naturally paved the way for tie-in media when it comes to video games.

The most recent example would be developer Frontier Developments' Jurassic World Evolution 2 to help coincide with the newly released movie, but there are other dinosaur-themed -- or dinosaur-adjacent -- video games worth checking out outside of the synonymous Hollywood IP. Whether it's park simulators, action RPGs, or survival games, there's something for everyone to indulge their inner dinosaur enthusiast.
