Jurassic World

Post Reply New Topic

I am excited and cannot wait till Jurassic world airs in June.

A dinosaur movie with little to no dinosaur(s), like nearly all dinosaur movies.

I saw a preview for this before Mad Max: Fury Road and I told the person I was with looks like they went and made another Godzilla movie.

Today I ate at Dairy Queen with my mom, and noticed they had pictures of the movie on our cups. Personally, I couldn't care less.

I am pretty excited for this film. I mean tamed raptors and genetically engineered hybrid dinosaurs sound a little silly but a few years back I read that a proposed script for this film was a bunch of dinosaur/human hybrids invading America so..I'm keeping an open mind.

it's gonna flop imo, the whole hybrid dinosaur angle is way too gimmicky, makes me think they don't have faith in a traditional well-constructed story and so they have to invent a gimmick to lean on. I mean Hollywood seems oblivious that meeting the t-rex for the first time in a film is going to have the same power as meeting it for the first time in the first Jurassic Park movie if the presentation is well constructed... there is no need to constantly 1-up the previous film with bigger and badder dinos, because the power is not in the creature itself but how it's presented. Granted you can still have a good story with a gimmicky creature but the fact that they have to lean on that angle doesn't give me faith that they know what they're doing.


But it should be fun to see an operational park for once though, I do think the movie should have a lot of interesting parts, but I don't have faith that it will come together by the end, but we'll see, it's always fun to see the 'civilization crumbling' part in these kinds of movies.

I hope that nearly everyone in the park, including the children, get ripped to shreds.

Especially the children.

I find the Jurassic Park films humorous because it's always the "only the strong survive/bigger is better" crowd (mostly ignorant young males) that seem to get pumped up to see them. So they're sitting there watching a depiction of huge extinct dinosaurs ripping people apart and can't put 2 and 2 together in evolutionary terms: bigger and stronger goes extinct easier. With a few exceptions apex predators are the most tenuous species in their environments-- virtually every one of them goes extinct, but small stuff like bacteria is as old as life itself and almost never goes extinct.

I didn't like Jurassic Park 3, but I am definitely seeing this one because this one should be better.

Dinosaurs in a park, escaping and wreaking havoc. Again.

I've never seen so much stagnation in a film series, so much unwillingness to try anything new, expect maybe in the Bond series. When can we expect a movie in which the dinosaurs escape to the mainland, forcing average citizens to deal with them in their own backyards? The title Jurassic World shouldn't refer to yet another theme park; it should refer to a Dawn of the Planet of the Apes type world in which the creatures broke out, are populating, and taking over.

Hopefully that's how the movie ends, and it's all just a set-up for more interesting movies in the future.

That happened in the second film.

For one short scene with a T-rex knocking over a few things here and there before safely being contained again. I'm talking about the whole menagerie getting off the island somehow, making it to mainland USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia, etc, and becoming a problem for the whole world that can't be contained.

This series has been like a sitcom so far: every episode ends with the problem being solved, the status quo is restored, just so they can do it again in a few years. They can keep being movies about dinosaurs on the loose, but good god, there needs to be some progress after four movies. The Planet of the Apes movies keep moving forward; they don't defeat and contain the apes at the end of every movie just so they can break out again in the next sequel.

Problem solved: dinosaurs develop brains and start dinosaur societies.

It doesn't have to be that radical; not to mention it would be too similar to Planet of the Apes. I would be satisifed just seeing the regular old dinosaurs in new environments. New York, LA, Tokyo, Sydney, you name it, becoming overrun with pterodactyls and t-rexes, etc, creating whole new dinosaur-city ecosystems, forcing people to drastcially change their way of living, some of them trying to adapt to the new world and some trying to take it back.

But nah, let's just do the "dinosaurs escape from the island theme park" idea yet again. I can't yawn loudly enough.

The Jurassic Park series takes place in an alternate reality in which humans never learn their lesson ever.

nice one.
