Looks fantastic. GAF is too cynical. Well, internet culture is too damn cynical. No sense of excitement for anything anymore without a bunch of nitpicking
Ted 2 makes sense, was the first time most people were even aware that it was being made.

Omg..trained raptors. This needs to die and the fucking script writer too.
Face palm.
You sound like a fun guy to be around.
I can't put my finger on exactly why but a new artificial dino bothers me more than trained raptors.

I'm not completely down on the idea, I suppose I'm just concerned it'll be too cheesy like you said. They haven't shown a good reason why they made a new killer super dinosaur so the rationale behind it is still a mystery. I'll be very disappointed if it just boils down to them making because they could. It's kinda like why the hell did they breed raptors at all in the first movie but hey, I didn't care about that in the end so maybe the same thing will happen here.It's a dumb idea, but it's also a dumb idea even within the context of the movie. You even have a character saying "probably not a good idea." They sensibly justified it with what's going on in the story, which is why I'm down for it, and the design visually gels with other Jurassic Park dinosaurs. If it were some crazy town design I may have feared that it's too cheesy, but I don't think that's the case. It looks like something that they could have very well created and it pilots the idea of how the park owners and scientists got way too comfortable with the fact that Jurassic World has been operational for a decade with no mishaps.
And yet it's thematically closer to Crichton's original warnings against unchecked genetic engineering in the original novel than anything seen in the last two films. If the first movie focused on the inevitable failure and unpredictability of complex systems, it's only right that the true spiritual sequel focus on genetic tampering run amok.

The rationale is that where World has been open for a decade and some change when the movie starts, attendance has been declining because audiences have already "been there and done that" and Indominus is their spark that they hope will start bringing people back. I think the idea is that one new dinosaur could bring back pre-existing visitors, but I also think that had Indominus not broken free and raised hell that they would have kept making new dinosaurs until something went wrong.
Yeah that doesn't really justify making a giant hyper intelligent killing machine.

Which is EXACTLY keeping with the themes of what Chricton spelled out in JP1 through Ian Malcolm.I have a feeling some of the behavior and abilities of the I-Rex weren't known or accounted for during its development.
Speculation/spoilers on I-Rex's escape:Why would they give it the ability to camouflage itself and go investigate inside the pen when it couldn't be located?
John, the kind of control you're attempting simply is... it's not possible. If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh... well, there it is.
Don't you see the danger, John, inherent in what you're doing here? Genetic power is the most awesome force the planet's ever seen, but you wield it like a kid that's found his dad's gun.
I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now
[bangs on the table] you're selling it, you wanna sell it. Well...
Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.
Agree. I want the raptors to be the villains for the fourth movie in a row. I hate that shit where the sequel actually tries something different and flips expectations by making the previous antagonist an ally.

Perhaps the biggest leap of faith is the notion that a fully functional theme park with live dinosaurs would ever struggle with attendance
I don't see that at all. Look at how humans view "commodities". New technologies are always replacing the old and the old are looked at as "outdated". Jurassic World is not "struggling" with attendance, but its numbers are declining, and for a capitalist business like Masrani, that's no good.Perhaps the biggest leap of faith is the notion that a fully functional theme park with live dinosaurs would ever struggle with attendance

hence in JP1 the animals changing sexes and breeding totally unexpected.
No doubt the I-Rex is going to pull a lot of surprises out which continues the cycle. Basically 10 years of no issues has made Wu and company full of hubris and believing once again they have mastery of genetics. The I-Rex is the next step of human arrogance (combined with capitalist greed).
So to me, Jurassic World is already taking more cues from JP1 and feeling like a proper sequel than 2 or 3

Not sure how I feel about this movie. I will no doubt see it but something feels "off" about it. I think Pratt's delivery is pretty odd. Weird delivery.
People are used to him being comedic but he's playing a more down to earth fellow in this. He's kind of a keep to himself employee who lives off-site.
Yeah, I'm kinda worried about Pratt's performance in this. His trailer dialogue hasn't been great.
I realize we don't know much about his performance but the bits in the trailer feel off regardless of his previous work. Its just not quite right. I can't really figure out how to describe it.People are used to him being comedic but he's playing a more down to earth fellow in this. He's kind of a keep to himself employee who lives off-site.
There's this, but I think sometimes people forget that dialogue does occasionally change from trailers, as well. For example, if you watched The Interview and then re-watched the trailer, some of the dialogue was, in fact changed. Editing is a looooong process and trailers are usually hastily done.
I only use trailers as a glimpse of a movie, not as complete gospel, because that's exactly right. There are usually tons of changes and alternate takes. We can hope for the best obviously.
Yeah I don't understand the whole "their acting is terrible! Dialogue sucks!" when it MAY not even be used. But I don't get people judging everything off a trailer, either. There's been crappy trailers for really good movies, as well as really good trailers for bad movies.
My beef with the "pet" raptors is as follows.
The primary statement of Jurassic Park is that nature is outside of man's control and attempting to harness or control that kind of power a) is impossible and b) has dire consequences.
The raptors in the first film were (in my mind) tied with the T-Rex as the primary physical manifestations/representations of man's hubris come back to bite him, literally...
Poor Terminator
Yeah, but it makes sense to a degree within the story as we know it; it fits hand in hand thematically with their ill-advised development of the I-Rex.
The raptors and all dinosaurs were an unpredictable wild card when they brought them into existence resulting in the events of JP1. Obviously 20 years later, we've adapted and know better how to control them. They're "old hat" now. Once you've trained raptors... the danger is gone. The intrigue is gone. Man is inexorably fascinated with the unknown, and always quick to grow bored of new technology. Ten years ago, having a smart phone was akin to magic. Now, we're not impressed with any of it. 20 years ago, well done CG blew us away... now, there's pretty much nothing that's going to really wow us. (In that regard, JP4 is almost making a meta statement about the technology its predecessor advanced.)
Tthat's, presumably, what the movie is about. Mankind has grown tired of dinosaurs. The newness has worn off. The danger has worn off. We know them too well, to the point where we're training the worst of them. So what do the scientists of Jurassic World do? They allow mankind's hubris to rear its ugly head once more, again with dire results. The genetically construct a new, more terrifying dinosaur. And it's as imprudent as it was 20 years ago, when the original dinosaurs were more mysterious and fascinating.
I don't understand the haters (not to lump you in that group). Honestly, from everything we know, this is probably the most logical, natural progression of the Jurassic Park story that could have happened. It's certainly head and shoulders above 2 and 3, although that's admittedly not saying much.

NBC Universal. So I'm sure the cost of the ad times were heavily discounted.Universal wins.
If anyone asks I'll be at home playing with myself.
Heres a first look at the LEGO Owen MiniFigure from #JurassicWorld, in theaters June 12.
Thank you LEGO! Everything is awesome!!! (Until the genetic hybrid dinosaur they made gets loose and starts killing for sport.)
They seriously CG'd his arm in. I thought I was imaging things til I went back and watched the first trailer.Not bad...
