Indeed, and it is also mentioned in the film that they just use the frog DNA to plug the gaps from the sames taken from the amber, not go out of their way to make a new species.

common thing with CG is forgetting scale and what that does. Bay's Transformers excels at showing this particular problem (but that's pretty much a franchise thing), Godzilla thankfully didn't ignore it, with that semi-tsunami happening as it comes to land.
And of course the original JP casually ignored it, despite making it explicit with the paddock scene (which is word for word from the novel), to have to the T-rex show up at the end. If we take the movie's logic at face value, we should conclude that the T-Rex had been standing right next to the center the entire time.
Believe it or not, but filmmakers are actually getting better at dealing with scale properly.
I like the stego scene though. oh, and the raptors running seems to reference Muldoon's remarks about cheeta speed. We never actually did see them do that in the first two movies.
Not thrilled about the movie saving the hybrid plot from all the previous scripts though.
edit: and the obvious use of 'roar' (godzilla) in the trailer.

Maybe you should actually see the film before deciding all this?

Yeah I'm just going to echo the unimpressed sentiments. The storyline isn't appealing to me right now.

I haven't been following the movie so apologies if this is a silly question, but... is this a reboot? I'm assuming so, otherwise who in their right mind would finance another round of these terrible ideas (i.e. dinosaur park + genetically engineered monsters). Is this the case?
The park has been running fine for 10 years. Obviously they learned from their mistakes, as Hammond would say.

You're right. But in the case of the film, the reason for creating the hybrid has been explained in this thread. Whether you accept that reason or not...well, up to the individual I suppose.
Yeah, it's Hollywood people would feel unconfortable on the theathers if they don't bring dinos on par with the current trends.

Feel same.
Nah, it's a sequel, where the park was bought by a large corporations, and has been running smoothly for 10 years.

Reboot has better CGI.
I would have personally liked some practical effects and not this.

They will try to do that, not doubt. But I bet a pic (probably of the a toy) will leak, just like it did with Godzilla in 1998 (they tried to hide the monster's appearance there too).
But in real life, males are the ones with extravagant feather designs.
Fuck this unscientific bullshit of a movie. It's not better than creationist trying to spread their stupid ass beliefs.
Not watching it even if it was free.

I will re-read the thread and hopefully it will click for me. Initial reaction is a resounding yuk but we will see..
This is a serious movie?

A pack of trained raptors? HAHAHAfuckoff.
For the complaints about genetically engineered dinos. Is not a major part of Jurassic Park, the novel, and the film too, that the dinosaurs are not really dinosaurs, but genetically engineered monsters roughly based on the dinosaurs' fragmented DNA? Grant makes this exact complaint. They were designed to look like dinosaurs but they aren't true dinosaurs, dinosaurs are extinct.
Taking it further to make original species is hardly farfetched.
That depends....

If that's the case then I don't think a made up dinosaur would attract them either.
Let's be honest, there is no way a trip to Jurassic World is affordable for most people. It's going to be a once in a lifetime for those that even get to go there.
Of course I know that, what does that have to do with this? Disney squashes Sea World in attendance and Sea World is getting all kinds of flack for their animal shows.
Jurassic World is on a secluded island with no direct competitors worldwide. It has to be super expensive to go there. I'm sure they will justify the dino-hybrid by saying they need to bring in new attractions because attendance and/or profits are down. But to create such a dangerous one is an infinitely bad idea.
Believe I'm going to see the movie, but to act like this is an intelligent film is silly. It's a big loud fun movie about Dinosaurs wreaking havoc and eating people, also children in danger.

I agree with the ehhhhhh I dunno crowd. Looks cheap. I like Pratt and dinosaurs so I'll prob check it out with very low expectations.
Felt that way to me too. I'm hoping it's more the editing of the trailer (cobbling together lines that aren't necessarily in proximity), than Pratt himself.
The CG looked pretty bad too. Looked way worse than JP1 somehow (probably because of broad daylight, but still, you'd think 20 years later that would be achievable).
Nevertheless, I'm still pretty hyped. I like the idea of one big bad dinosaur wreaking havoc and one guy essentially being tasked with taking it out. It's like the "clever girl" guy from JP1 getting his own movie.
Agree. I think this is a very natural escalation of that initial idea from JP1. Frankly, I'm surprised it took until the fourth movie for this to come to fruition.
Watch Jurassic Park again on Blu Ray and come back to me, my friend.
Not sure. I don't know why PS4 can't handle 1080p at 60fps without fail. Stupid Technology.
This. I do understand concerns about sequelitis, but honestly from what I've read of the plot, this seems like the best way to deal with it--confront it head-on in the story.
Raptors still look solid. Saw it on the big screen when it was re-released. That's partially due to how they're used, sparingly, and the selection of shots. The only time they don't really feel meshed into the environment are a few shots in the kitchen.

At the end of the day im just glad its a park again.
Lost World and 3 I felt lost alot of what made 1 interesting by being set in mostly jungles.
I had always hoped they would return to Nublar and show ruins of the original park.

Want to watch this so badly...gonna wait til after work to do it justice with full volume though.
Kind of like putting plants around the island because they look "authentic" and failing to check if they were poisonous to the dinosaurs, or assuming the frog DNA would have no unforeseen effects on the dinosaurs (leading to them being able to breed), or relying on a contingency to deal with all the dinos if they were ever out of control that the dinos could easily solve themselves with their diet (leading to the lysine contingency not working)?
Bad ideas by Jurassic Park owners is sort of the franchise's bread and butter and they're addressed as bad ideas in the films.

Was the original park in the northern "restricted area"? Would be sooooo cool if they go back there...
