Jurassic Park is a perfect movie. Lost World isn't, but I still love the hell out of it, and Jeff Goldblum and I'm one of the few people that loves the T-Rex in San Fransisco bit that everyone hates. I get why people don't like the third one at all, I guess, but I'm down with just seeing the dinosaurs so I enjoyed 3 anyway (of course with the exception of the new dino killing the t-rex). So I am so down for Jurassic World. I got giddy at the final shot of Chris Pratt riding his motorcycle along his hunting dog Raptor pals.

I like the idea people are throwing around that the T-Rex is going to save the day at the very end, and it makes so much sense I think I'm gonna be a little disappointed if that doesn't happen.

I dunno why people have such a problem with the raptors being trained after being shown as killing machines before. People tame animals that should never rightfully be tamed all the time. There was that story a while ago about that giant crocodile that some dude became BFFs until it died of old age.

Honestly I really can't think of anything that a Jurassic Park movie could do that could really make me hate it. I don't care that much about how good the writing or dialogue is as long as we see dinosaurs doing their thing (I love that shot in the trailer of people kayaking down the Stegosaurus river) and eventually getting loose and causing all sorts of chaos.

Whatever new dinosaur they're telegraphing, it looks like it'll be able to fly given the camera angle of the crowds running away and that 40-foot high fence line.

I'm so on board for this.

I can't imagine it'll fly. Unless they, while making hybrid dinosaurs, literally made a dragon, which I would be like "uh" then "hmm" and then "yes good".

The overhead camera angle made me think that the pterodactyls get out (maybe the poster's idea about the new dinosaurs wrecking the other dinosaur areas releases them?). There's also the shot of the kid hiding in terror at what I imagine is a raptor, but that could be another trailer misdirection and and that could be one of Pratt's hunting dog raptors. He'll burst in and start licking the kid's face and then Chris Pratt comes in and is like "he likes you"

I think that Seaworld parody thing looks pretty great? :confused: I don't think an animatronic would've pulled that off somehow better.

I think we need to see more of the Dinosaurs before going "this is too much CG". All three of the Jurassic Park movies used both CG and practical effects, I see no reason to think this one won't.

I like 3 better than 2 for the simple reason that 3 is just kinda dumb and unambitious, whereas 2 actively goes out of its way to poo poo on the first film.

I'm getting kind of tired of the "evil/reckless scientists wreak havoc with their creations" cliche. How about a drama about awesome scientists struggling to friggin' clone dinosaurs against all odds? Nope, we need a fourth movie where the dinosaurs break out and try to eat annoying kids.

E: The giant aquatic beastie was pretty baller though.

They made this movie already. It's a few minutes long and it's the Dino DNA thing in the first movie so we don't have to suffer through an hour and a half of dorks in lab coats pulling blood out if a mosquito's butthole

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

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

I thought the big about Chris Pratt's raptor squad was interesting:

quote:

“Owen’s relationship with the raptors is complicated. They aren’t friends. These animals are nasty and dangerous and they’ll bite your head off if you make the wrong move. But there are men and women out there today who have forged tenuous connections with dangerous predators. That’s interesting territory to me.”

Which makes it sound like they aren't simply tamed raptors. Something could trigger his raptors going too out of control

Watching TLW as an adult made me laugh - because the secondary antagonist says "I'm off, laters" right before the climax and then he actually leaves. That's some bold script writing.

I don't really feel like he's an antagonist. Maybe at first a little until the two sides are forced together, but he's barely even on the side of the InGen dude who wants to capture all the dinos to bring back to America. All he really cares about is being able to hunt a T-Rex. I think his arc ends perfectly fine. He wanted to hunt the T-Rex, he eventually gets his chance but the victory is kind of ruined for him since his friend died, and he's also just not used to like. EVERYONE around him dying, since he says "I've spent enough time in the company of death". I imagine his normal hunting trips don't usually end with like half of the people he was with just now dead.

achillesforever6 posted:

He's the worst and the reason that everyone gets hosed in the first place.

I like him too, I especially like all the banter between him, Malcom and Eddie. Him sabotaging the InGen's cages and releasing all the dinosaurs didn't gently caress anything up but the camp, and I guess the tree that Roland was waiting in while he hunted. What hosed everything up was Roland baiting mama and papa T-Rex. All hell broke loose once that happened.

This sounds like I'm contradicting the first part of my post but Roland wouldn't have even been there if it wasn't for the InGen Dino Capture Party, Peter is the antagonist and he never really learns his lesson, even when a T-Rex is rampaging through a city.

The only characters I can say I'm not a huge fan of, are the daughter who felt just kind of forced into the movie so you could have a kid be in danger (even though you knew she'd never die) and Sarah who was just kind of boring (I blame Julianne Moore for that. I'm not a fan of her). They're still alright.

Really the only thing I can say I hate in Lost World, even worse than the Gymnastics Attack on the raptor, is this:

When Ian leaves, Hammond counts out the members on his team on his fingers like a preschooler who just learned to count and then is like :buddy: like he finally learned how to count up all the way to 3.

I don't really understand why this argument is happening here anyway. All three Jurassic Park movies had a good mix of both CG and practical effects, there's no reason to assume the fourth won't be exactly the same. Especially considering they've had "leaked" on set pics of the physical dinosaurs they are gonna use. The director of the film has straight up said the trailer is far more CG then they are doing for the actual movie as well, like the park gate not being CG in the final movie.

Also Azog looked fine CG wise. His problem was just he was a very basic villain. His character and design was boring

I really hope the movie shows a montage or something of how they finally built the park. Did they build the T-Rex's viewing area AROUND its nest? DId they tranq all the large carnivores and just keep them asleep while they built? How did they build anything with raptors running free?

Yea I'm more worried that the dinosaur scenes will just be the same old poo poo and the CGI won't even be AAA work. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is the new measuring stick, and if you're making a loving Jurassic Park sequel, you'd better strive to be as good or even better than what's come before. I know I'm too old for a new movie to reproduce what I felt seeing Jurassic Park for the first time, but I'm thinking more about the kids of today who will see this movie. If they watch it and say "those dinos look fake, this isn't as awesome as Planet of the Apes or Godzilla", then there is a problem.

I think some of you guys are really overestimating the amount of people who are going to think the dinosaurs look bad

Uhhhhh did that trailer show the new dinosaur was loving ordering the pterodactyls to go abduct people like they were his minions? Cause it sure looked that way.'

Also they are absolutely going out of their way to not show the T-Rex in the trailers. I thought the trailer was awesome as hell, and the dinosaurs looked great, I don't care what you guys say. The shot of the CG raptors running through the jungle looked real good IMO.

Also I remember some people in this thread were hoping the Ankylosauruses would treat that ball vehicle like a bat and ball and the trailer showed that absolutely happening

Also the trailer-over-the-cliff bit is a really nice action setpiece too, with (poor) Eddie frantically trying to pull the trailers back up and the windshield cracking under Sarah always makes my hands sweat.

I thought the shot of the three of them hanging on the rope while the trailer falls around them was awesome. I'm also a sucker for all the little quips during the movie so I liked when Eddie asks them if they need anything else and they order burgers.

Hi Jurassic World thread. I just got back from the movie and wanted to say the final battle was amazing and everything I could hope for and if you didn't like it then you are a big ol' poophead.

I loved the shot of the I-Rex coming up to the four main guys + the 3 raptors, and then the raptors looking back at the main peeps and then turning around and going full attack mode on the I-Rex. And then the T-rex showing up! And then the Mosasaurus delivering the killing blow. Oh man, it was great. I had the biggest smile on my face during that entire thing. Seriously the big final battle basically being between the "heroes" (the humans, t-rex and raptors) and the "villain" (the I-Rex) It was like it was made for me!

I see people saying the raptors talking to each other was dumb?? PFFFT is what I say to THAT. I loved that, and I especially loved I-Rex talking to them because he was part raptor. Honestly I was totally down with everything they did with the raptors in this movie.

I dunno if we're still doing spoiler tags in this thread at this point but just in case
