It's also really weird for having a single line plot point that goes loving nowhere but is the most interesting thing in the film.

The problem with The Lost World is that it was a sequel to Jurassic Park, that along with Jaws is one of those few perfect movies. That isn't to say The Lost World is great or anything, but it is pretty entertaining and fun.

The t-rex in san diego IS great and so is the t-rex roaring infront of the backdrop of the city and so is everyone in the boat somehow torn to pieces by the t-rex that was inside the big cargo hold Every scene from the Lost World is great. The Lost World is great. Well, the scene where the daughter beats a raptor by doing gymnastics is pretty whatever but

It's really dumb that the scariest dinos of the first film have been whittled down so that Chris Pratt can hang out with them

Jurassic Park III is basically Galaxy Quest. It's about Sam Neill, the artist, coming to terms with the fact that he will forever be known as 'the jurassic park guy'. The only trouble with this premise is that it's based on the idea that Jurassic Park is somehow a disreputable film. They compensate by having him literally roped into a mercenary sequel, but that leads into some unfortunate 'ha ha it's bad on purpose' humor. The thing is, though, that this is absolutely no different from The Lost World. They just replaced Jeff Goldblum's wry detachment with Sam Neill's Orson Welles/Alec Guinness contempt for the material. There's also, I suppose, a difference in the basic joke: Goldblum is begged into participating in the fiasco by a sad old director who wants to make something socially responsible. Neill, on the other hand, is only on it for the money and a quick vacation - and then can't back out once he's contractually obligated. That all sets a cynical tone that most people can't get past, but the joke is ultimately on the cynics. Like, the villain of the film is basically the embodiment of cynicism.

That kind of reminds me of what happened to Darth Vader or the Xenomorphs: holy poo poo, were they scary at first but they ended up being normalized due to people liking and wanting to see them so much.

I have no problem with the trained velociraptors because I find the idea cool and I also have no doubt that they will be eating people by the end of the film. This is a Jurrasic Park film and there was a part in the trailer with one of the kids hiding from a raptor so...

By the way for those worried about it (I thought everything in the trailer looked fine but), here's a bit from Jurassic World's director on twitter: So that shot and I imagine a lot of the big sweeping park shots you see in the trailer were probably made specifically for the trailer edit:

Gammatron 64 posted:JP3 just didn't do anything interesting. It was just a bunch of people trying to escape the island and there wasn't much plot beyond that. The movie was a letdown because it just didn't try to do anything. This is why I like 3 better than 2. I like an ambitious movie that succeeds most of all, but I'd rather have an unambitious movie than a movie that fails in its ambitions.

That sounds like one of those things that got left in when a plot line got taken out in case they get another sequel. In Jurassic World we have another company running the park. It's possible they had already taken over by JP3 but were under the radar and just dumping dinos on the island.

LaughMyselfTo posted:This is why I like 3 better than 2. I like an ambitious movie that succeeds most of all, but I'd rather have an unambitious movie than a movie that fails in its ambitions. When I was a kid I liked 2 more than 3 because it's the one with a T. Rex rampaging through a city, but on rewatching I realize it's not as coherent as 3. Sure the plot of 3 about some people looking for their kid doesn't have a very wide scope, but at least it's not the insane pile of colliding motives that is The Lost World. A lot of the second book, and to some extent movie, is just about addressing criticisms and trying to keep the science current. There's some references in The Lost World book about scientists wanting to reclassify Deinonychus antirrhopus as a subspecies of Velociraptor, hence the raptors are actually the right size but only the name is wrong. There's plenty of other stuff, but that one really stands out. It fits neatly into the book but you'd need a really ham-handed scene to cover anything like that in the movie, which is why The Lost World kind of struggles.

I don't even really hate JP3 per se, I just think it's kind of boring and mediocre. The Lost World is most definitely flawed, but it's pretty entertaining and tries something new. JP3 is just Sam Neil and a bickering family running from dinosaurs again. The mysterious origin of the Spinosaurus and Dr. Grant's sidekick stealing raptor eggs were both plot points that could have been interesting, but they just didn't do much of anything with them. Where did the Spinosaurus come from? Is InGen still breeding dinosaurs? Is some other company with questionable ethics trying to breed them? What if raptor eggs got brought back to the mainland? I don't care about the family squabbles of a few unlikable characters, and I think most people in the audience didn't, either. This new movie looks extremely dumb... but hey, at least it's trying.

PriorMarcus is mistaken; the Spinosaurus was created by InGen, but wasn't officially listed because it was a failed experimental project or something.

I prefer practical effects because the internet told me I hate CGI. I like to critique trailer CGI because I'm a giant spergy pedant. If I were unable to share my uninformed views on CGI with the internet I'd never be project the illusion that I have actual opinions. I exist on a TVTropes level of reading comprehension. I believe story ideas and plots can be stupid unto themselves and aren't reliant on execution. I have opinions, world. I am alive, and I can be hurt, but in fact the pain does not come from CGI but from being a vapid mindless nerd incapable of analytical thought. I have ruined my capactiy to enjoy things for their own merits. I must make judgements without information. If I don't tell people what sucks they'll think I'm some kind of plebe who actually likes things. I am goon. Hear me *fart*
