TODAY, THE LATEST trailer for Jurassic World was unleashed onto the internet.

The trailer features Chris Pratt training an army of tiny velociraptors, screaming children, explosions and giant CGI dinosaurs.

In other words, it’s perfect summer blockbuster fare.

The trailer has left many longtime fans feeling nostalgic for a simpler time, while others are positively champing at the bit to see it.

People are giddy with excitement

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Though in fairness, that wouldn’t be too hard

The new Jurassic World trailer could have just been two minutes of Chris Pratt eating dino nuggets and I’d still probably be excited.

“Hey, you know how everyone’s favorite part of Jurassic Park is when the t-rex and the raptors fight? Let’s make an entire movie of that.”

Does it look like big, dumb fun? Yes.

Does that mean you’re any less inclined to go see it? No!

"Jurassic World" is definitely the stupidest movie that I'm the most excited for. This is my "Furious 7."
