The best part of Jurassic Park 2 is that everyone who made it watched Jurassic Park and correctly realized they needed way more Goldbloom.

It's just a small touch really, but it's a dumb thing that's so easily avoidable. My other favourite moment is "Do you still have those matches?", because it's so completely out of nowhere that I can only presume there was an earlier moment that was cut. I was enjoying myself right up until it just made increasingly dumb decisions and as much as I appreciate a good kill scene, that one death is so incredibly mean spirited and unearned that it put me right off.

Also I'm hoping I wasn't alone in laughing when The raptor and chris pratt are having a moment and then its cut off by a slow moving rocket that blows the raptor up? I feel like my group were the only people in the theater that found it funny.

Evil D'Onofrio says 'kill the rogues and preserve loyal bloodlines' - which exactly what the heroes do at the end. Also at the end of the movie: the autistic kid counts all the dinosaurs' teeth and says "we need more teeth!" That weird, forced line is a direct callback to earlier in the film, when Chastain says "consumers want them bigger, louder - more teeth." The joke's on you if you were psyched about the Spinosaurus skeleton getting desecrated as fanservice.

Saw this movie tonight, it was ok. Liked it more than the third film, not sure about the second. The petting zoo was pretty much the best thing in the whole movie, holy poo poo just give me 2 hours of baby triceratops' rolling around omg I really didn't like Pratt's character since he was a one-dimensional perfect superhero but I think I'm in the minority there, considering I also thought the kids were pretty cool and they had some actual character development. The command room team were also great but the villain In-gen guy sucked rear end and I don't even remember what his name was. Weirdly, the first thing to take me out of the movie was the baby I-rex using its claws to get out of it's shell

Cute theater moment: right after the I-Rex first escapes and eats the Fat Dude, there's a lul where the audience is completely silent. After a pause that you couldn't have done intentionally if you tried, a little kid excitedly says to his mom "That was SCARY!"

Apparently the system is smart enough to stop them from getting too close to the animals but not the massive wall the surrounds the whole area and out of the perimeter.

I thought a raptor getting killed by gymnastics was the dumbest poo poo ever when I saw the lost world in the theater when I was like 12. The movie is pretty decent up until that point, though. After that it's all just downhill. Also how did the T-rex eat everyone on the boat? Did it shrink down and go into everyone's cabins? That said, yeah, the gyrospheres are probably dumber than a girl killing a raptor with gymnastics, yeah.

Not really. I mean I'm not a fan of the gyro spheres either but if you look at what Disneyland did in the 1960s with ride technology and that Jurassic Park was always billed as having futuristic and cutting edge rides in both the novel and movie it would make sense that the engineers would design a super safe transport that guests can tour the park in. Disney over the years have drawn up similar ideas to the gyro spheres like this ride that they proposed to replace Peoplemover at Disneyland:

I wanted so much more out of the "actual working Jurassic Park" concept, and really only the pteranadon escape pays that off in any meanigful way. It felt like a waste of having an open park to only use it for one cool sequence. I mean, I get it. It's easier to stage things without hundreds of extras, but man, that's a disappointment. The kids were awful. I wanted them to get eaten, which I am sure is not the emotion they wanted me to feel towards them. I don't mind Malcom's daughter in The Lost World that much, and I really like Tim and Lex. So, these dudes rank about the same as "kid who figured out T-Rex pee scares away certain dinos" from Jurassic Park III. One thing I really did like though was Book Dr. Wu making an apperance. The ignorance of InGen is a theme of the movies, but the outright arrogance of InGen is mostly in the books. I know that people bitch about the I Rex being a concept from a SyFy movie, but in the books, Wu was pretty much already developing splices of creatures to further his science, so it's not all that far fetched (in terms of the franchise internal consistancy, that is) I am sad that Wu didn't have a tiny elephant in one of those glass cases they find at the end

Book Dr.Wu isn't really evil though he's just ambitious. In the movie they made him more of a bad guy like Peter Ludlow or that android from the first ALIEN movie. He was never like that and I kinda hope they retcon/smooth that over in an eventual sequel.

This movie gave me a very Godzilla feeling to it as I watched it. And not just the fight between the I-Rex and the T-Rex, although I did honestly expect nuclear fire to come out of the latter's mouth at one point but how they have this top secret project involving a creature that they really can't control. Also, speaking of Godzilla and regarding the fight at the end- The I-Rex and the T-Rex both seem to reference different interpretations of Godzilla. The I-Rex draws from the 1954 film, where man plays God and Nature fights back. All of the actions of the I-Rex are directly because of the people in charge, be it the creature's genetic makeup or how not telling Chris Pratt and co about it being half Raptor caused tons of problems. By contrast, the T-Rex draws from the "avatar of nature" that other films and especially the 2014 film emphasizes. True, she's technically a lab creation as well but she's more or less "pure" and independent (though restrained until the very end of the film). The last shot is her emphasizing the dominion of nature over those that would threaten it, be they man or monster.

Just awful. That film had terrible script problems. The entire time I was wondering how this was the best they could do with a jurassic world script in tyool 2015. Keep the hideous product placement and groan inducing throw backs: you give any competent screenwriter that premise and they have something better than that in like a latte and a half.

Harald posted:This isn't exactly your A-game. It's accurate. JP/// featured the Spinosaurus as a brutal killer animal, but ended with the heroes chasing him away and then asking the raptors for forgiveness. In this film, Blue - who can obviously communicate with the iRex - is given a choice between killing US or HER. The idea of a third option (where he talks her down or something) is never even considered. And why not? iRex is not a mindless killing machine. She understands what a helicopter is, and lures it towards the aviary as part of an elaborate plan to destroy the thing - so surely she can understand a basic concept like 'forgiveness', or just 'these pink things are raptors too'. Instead, the name of the game is brutal crowdpleasing vengeance for the death of an unrelated animal that had like three minutes of screentime in an entirely different film. And this affiliation is based purely on species. When Wu says nothing in the park is natural, he's performing a sort of basic ideological critique - up to and including Pratt's personal philosophy, based on obsolete, unscientific stuff about 'Alphas'.

If I need to charge said park a couple million for six months of liability insurance coverage so that people can experience that RAD theme park, and that cost gets passed down to the customer through absurd ticket prices, I am personally good with that also. But I do want my insurance company logo on at least some of the cars, and maybe also on a hotel.

Yeah, if this was a real park they wouldn't make the most dangerous hybrid possible first. Knowing how zoos work they'd want something small and cute they could advertise as a baby.

They called them all 'she', I assume they kept it up and just trimmed out the gender-switching genetics. I-Rex and her dead sister and the raptors were definitely all female. There's a nice little bit where we see early in the movie Owen clarifying that Blue's definitely female, but one of the last things Vincent D'Onofrio says when he's begging the raptor for his life is to call her 'boy'. Because he wasn't even paying the least bit of attention. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 08:50 on Jun 17, 2015 |

FizFashizzle posted:Just awful. That film had terrible script problems. The script is perfectly serviceable/salvageable. The film is just extremely badly directed. Basic example: the two kids are riding the monorail. Autistic Kid says he's afraid of his parents' impending divorce. Older Kid, cruelly, tells him to grow up. Immediately after this exchange, Autistic Kid turns and sees something in the corner of his eye: a speck in the distance. It's the park security, rushing to some emergency. The next couple shots are of their jeeps driving past the various exhibits - and this all leads to the scene where the security guys get killed by the iRex. On paper, the meaning is straightforward: being told that nobody will help him, the Autistic Kid's illusion of the happy park shatters. He sees through the beautiful facade, to the ugly machinery underneath. Meanwhile, the security guys are struggling to maintain that facade for kids like him. So the script is psychological: it is (on one side) about a kid struggling to deal with his parents' divorce, and (on the other) about the corporation trying desperately - and failing - to placate him. In practice, though, there is absolutely nothing about this sequence that captures the kid's feelings. The jeeps do not appear as some obscene intrusion, and the kids don't seem to occupy their own illusory consumer wonderland. The whole scene lands with a plop.
