It's always lame when "The Hubris of Man(kind)" is supposed to be a main theme in these movies, but they set up such idiot strawmen that it's hard to really get the message. Like, no poo poo you did a bunch of really stupid things and then failed. None of the JP failures have anything to do with man playing god, but instead are just because they didn't bother with basic safety features. You could make the next jurassic park movie have no dinosaurs and take place in a textile mill and it would be just as much a of a disaster movie.

"We are switching to a new type of dye that should be revolutionary"

"This NEW DYE is flammable, and it's catching our machines on fire"

"The new fire suppression system is kind of buggy, let's reboot the entire system"

"Oh poo poo, when we turned the system off, all the valves opened and dumped hundreds of gallons of chemical right onto the factory floor!"

"Okay you have to climb through the loom and manually reset the weaving computers"

"Our emergency systems go through the weaving computers, there's no way to call the fire department"

"We have to get this 5th grade tour out of here" "There's no cars in the parking lot, we're trapped"

I would watch the poo poo out of this. Like they thought they could spend millions of dollars and make a big success, but they didn't plan for reality.

Arguably, this is half of The Aviator

I don't understand the main plot point.

If an organism was watched for its entire life by thermal and normal cameras, how in the gently caress did they not know it had sci-fi cloaking powers?

I find it highly unbelievable.

I brought this up earlier, and it's pretty clear that while they had these cameras, they weren't using them. No one was watching the dinosaur. If it was being watched, how would someone not have noticed it climbing out of the enclosure?

It's like in Speed, where they drop the money off for Dennis hopper, and after awhile no one has come to pick it up and they turn on the tracking device and find out that he's already gotten away with it. Like why the gently caress did you even bother putting a tracker in it?

I mean, I get that nobody was watching the monitors (because who would do that?), but why don't they...rewind the cameras? Watch the film? Check its GPS tracker that somehow was not linked to the highly complex and advanced computer system integrated into the compound?

I hate this movie and I hate myself for caring enough to hate it.

Why don't they have someone watching the monitors? Why is the first thing they did when they suspected that it climbed out "back up the video and see"? Then they would have seen "oh it clawed up the wall and walked off" "Where did it go?" "It just walked into the middle of the enclosure and HOLY poo poo IT CAN CAMOUFLAGE" the end.

what's hilarious is that nedry could have just went on the boat with the other employees evacuating rather than the boat that's docked on the other side of the island. i mean the whole barbasol can was so everything would be stealth and poo poo, its not likes hes taking out a crate marked DINO DNA.

just go on the boat with all the other employees you fat stupid poo poo.

Eh, presumably Nedry would have been stuck in debriefing/quarantine etc for more than the 18 hours or whatever his shaving cream storage was good for. Especially since he was the guy in charge of the poo poo that hosed up.

he would have been found out either way eventually. but at the time the people on the island couldnt communicate with the boat, and the people on the boat had no clue what was going on at the island. everyone was evacuating anyway. i can't imagine it's a terribly long boat ride since it seems no employees live on the island and nedry designed the park systems to run by itself for 3 days.

what im saying is that fat retard could have at least tried to make a plan that didn't require driving through a dinosaur paddock and he would have gotten away alive.

it's so fuckin dumb cause nobody thought of checking the tracker until AFTER they went in to check. and apparently they couldn't check the tracker at the irex pen, the girl had to call the control center.

also having verizon sponsor your dinosaur attraction on an island with the shittiest cell phone service is lol.

I'm not sure that "Nedry could have tried to make a better plan" follows from "Nedry is a fat retard"...

Also, I think the only reason they said paddock in JW was because they said it in JP. Like, they never say paddock until they are like PADDOCK 9, get it? they said Tyrannosaur PADDOCK in JP.

i love his waddle run.

god bless dennis "the menace" nedry.

the book goes into a lot of poo poo that would explain a lot in the movies, like renting an south american island to skirt genetic experimentation laws and how lovely of a person hammond actually was. him being eaten by the raptors would have gone lovely with his whole "im there for every dinosaur birth so they like me" poo poo at the beginning of the movies.

I mean, they wouldn't have had the sound like that if they didn't want that effect. It's like a twofer, where you can be like, "There is good audio work and foley artist work in this" and "we definitely did not add cartoon sound effects to a fat person tripping".

Spielberg also made Hook, which is a great movie, and also has a lot of slapstick gag stuff with cartoony sounds.

My favorite story about Hook is when Bruce Willis brought his kids to tour the set shortly after he gave an interview where he poo poo all over the stagehands union for being a bunch of overpaid jerks. He got a bucket of water dumped on him and when the tour was over he came out to find his car covered in spit.

The best part of this movie was the scene where the Chameleon in the lab grabbed that grass and ripped it out, when I saw that I felt so relieved that this movie wasn't a complete waste of time.

And did anyone feel like the dying Brontosaurus looked like an animal straight out of the jungle book? I 4 srs thought it was about to put on a hat and start singing a song.

Jurassic World is to Jurassic Park what Aliens was to Alien so I guess we can expect Jurassic Park 5 will be the Aliens 3 of the franchise. All the ships transporting everyone from the island at the end of Jurassic World sink and everyone except Dr Henry Wu dies, and he washes up on the shore of an island containing nothing but a monastery full of ex-cons who have become peaceful monks. Unbeknownst to everyone a lone dilophosaurus was on board the ship and also makes it to the island!

There was an assload of product endorsement in this movie, but I've come to expect that, so big whoop
What really got me is that the aunt character was abysmal. I have seen at least 30 Aunt Claires in other movies. "I care about my career to the complete exclusion of emotions and humanity" is a stereotype with no basis in reality that is played out beyond belief. I was rooting for the raptors to tear her face off. Instead, another lazy character type (loosened-up underdog who isn't really an underdog because he's over the top handsome) comes to "save" her
The movie was fun eye candy but I'll likely never watch it again
