Who cares for the idea of the movie, let's check the trailer for props... :lol
I'm seeing this complaint from others as well. They can believe humans created dinosaurs in a lab, but humans training raptors is what really seems far fetched for some people. Okay then.

The only dinosaur that looks particularly here good is the mosasaurus flipping its fins and leaping out of the sea (don’t think its a liopleurodon ) and that looks like a definite 3D’er right down to the audience getting splashed and that’s a brand new beast to the series.
Anyone else wonder how they got the DNA for a marine dino? I mean, the conceit of the first movies and the novels they were based on was that the dinos were cloned from DNA retrieved from mosquitoes which had fed on said dinos.

Wait... this is going to be in 3D?
Most definitely!!!!! The introduction and success of 3D films was one of the major reasons that the franchise got a "reboot" after all this time . The camera tech used to shoot it was 3D, same as Prometheus I'm told,with some 70mm used as well. They are going for the size and 3D spectacle with this one to get the proper "scale" of the dinosaurs onto IMAX screensl. Its the main marketing angle apparently. The "mystery monster" is unsurprisingly the definite focus of alot of the key 3D effects sequences. So don't be to worried by what you see in the trailer. Its just a glimpse we've got of where its going to go. If I'm not impressed by the story I'll probably be by the visual side of it.
And, as Jeyl so wisely points out (my god I can agree with him no this!!!!), if you can train lions and tigers, raptors raised from the egg ,where its easier to "impress" on them at an early age are no stretch of the imagination at all. You can do it with ostritches and nearly all other birds, including true raptors (birds of prey) quite readily today. Personally I've always wanted a pet pterosaur!!!
Not to mention that these are genetically engineered raptors, as has been suggested they probably tweaked their appearance as new research suggested that they may have been feathered (which is an explanation for why they look different between films) so it's possible that they further modified them so that they became trainable if not quite tame. Just because they're (apparently) trained doesn't necessarily mean that they're tame or domesticated, hell, we don't even know if they're really trained or just being "remote controlled" via some sort of implant, or maybe they somehow manage to trick them into believing that the park rangers are their Alpha or something.
