Jurassic park meets alien

Ok sure

That was the tone of the first book actually.

 

[Xater]

Can't say I'm too impressed. There better be a lot of cool deaths in this.

In a PG-13 film?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I really do not like the idea of the genetically modified Dino, why do we need it? There are so many REAL amazing dinosaurs that have never had an appearance on film.

The point wasn't to have some new big bad.
It was for the park to have some "amazing new attraction" like all theme parks try to do every year.
In World the park has been running for 10 years so many dinosaurs have probably lost their luster by that point.

[AllIsOneIsNone]

I'll watch when it comes to vhs.

 

[sappyday]

forgot Park and Rec

How does that count

There can be cool deaths in a PG-13 movie. The original was PG-13 and had cool deaths, same for Lost World, which had a guy getting ripped in half.

 

[Blader]

Moneyball.
Zero Dark Thirty.
Her.

I don't believe you remembered he was in Moneyball without looking it up first.

 

[Bold One]

That looked OK, just not spectacular,

I just didn't like what was coming out of the character's mouths, it sounded like something I had heard a dozen times before.

 

[border]

Did they intentionally make her nipples lopsided and misaligned? Haven't see the show in a decade.

 

[moltonasty]

Looks pretty meh. But I'm still gonna see it. I'm part of the problem.

RIP Eddie, the only death in TLW I felt really sad about.

Lmfao

There were not "lots" of cool deaths.

 

[Jaeger]

!!! YES !!!

 

[Gonzalez]

Holy shit, they fucking repurposed the Jaws 3D script. The Chris Pratt character even has a similar gimmick(Uses Raptors to help fight evil dinosaurs) to the Dennis Quaid character(Uses Dolphins to help fight Jaws).

 

[CheeseConey]

Not sure why people are complaining about the hybrid, its pretty much in line with the themes of the book.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Come the hell on.
That is one of the worst scenes in movie history.

I don't even want to know the name of the movie. It's disgusting.

 

[kassatsu]

They had me until he teamed up with Raptors

This.

 

[Doctor West]

I'm still excited to see this to despite some of the apparent silliness.

 

[Mirk]

Andy running with a pack of raptors?!

Sign me the fuck up!

 

[Daffy Duck]

Looks like that synopsis was correct.

Not down with the end scene.....

 

[ViewtifulJC]

the dialog hurts me to listen to

 

[Purple Cheeto]

So many horror movie cliches in one trailer. All it was missing was a minority and a virgin.

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

RIP Eddie, the only death in TLW I felt really sad about.

I remember being annoyed as hell with this scene, because TLW was one of the first full novels I read, and I read it before the movie came out because I was so hyped. I was like 12 years old, so this was my first time I had been aware of how different books and movies can be. Anyway, his character didn't even fucking die in the book, yet we had to put up with Vince Vaughn's annoying as hell character.

 

[Divius]

Man, this looks bad.

JP is one of my childhood favorites.

 

[Ominym]

Well of course, to us obviously

In the film, visitors have just been seeing the same stuff for the last decade, it's understandable to want to create the next wild thing to attract people again. Theme parks do this all the time.

I don't see why this is such a hard concept for people to grasp. Eventually everyone would get tired of dinosaurs (10 years might be a bit of a stretch, but whatever) and they'd need to keep attendance high. I can only imagine what it'd cost to run a park like that.

Simply put, you need something new to get people coming back. This was their solution.

I really ought to read the novels, having been a huge JP fan my whole life :[

Must become trufan

 

[jmdajr]

Kids will love it though! Really all that matters.

 

[MHWilliams]

Why would you start building hybrid dinosaurs with a carnivore?

Other than the obvious "because it's a movie" answer.

 

[Alric]

Beelzeboot strikes again on your childhood.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

This was 6 months before the premier. They were much more aligned in the final product.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I wish I didn't know what franchise it was from, because it retroactively hurts the originals knowing thats coming up.

 

[Danielsan]

Haven't had the chance yet to watch it myself. Based on the reactions it sounds like a disaster in the making. Shouldn't surprise based on the director (Safety Not Guaranteed is college student quality movie) and the leaked script plot synopsis. Still bummed out.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

They had me until he teamed up with Raptors

Pretty much. Is he Raptor Whisperer or something? Hopefully they explain it well.

More exciting.

 

[AuthenticM]

FUUUCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Jack Scofield]

Wait, so is this water shallow or not? It looks shallow from the establishing shot, but when the mosasaur jumps out of the water it must be super deep.

This is the t-rex paddock all over again!

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Steven Spielberg.

Do people also forget the the dinosaurs in the first movie are genetic hybnds, and that's what allows them to start breeding? While its a bigger issue in the book (undocumented dinosars/nests, especially raptors) that's part of the point. InGen played God and got it's just desserts. Someone mentioned Wu in the books wanted to create scarier dinosaurs:

Wu says that they could and should make better, slower and tamer dinosaurs. Hammond scoffs at the idea, saying that they have real dinosaurs; who would want more? Wu's reply is that they should not bother with reality because the people coming to see Jurassic Park do not want reality, they want their expectations.

What happens here? Masrani needs bigger, better, bolder to get butts in the seats. Wu is like, hell yeah, I've wanted to do this since day 1. They play God. You can guess what happens.

Also, regarding the raptors, JP1 established them as a pack with a clear Alpha. I see no reason why, after enough exposure to humans, a raptor pack couldn't accept a human as part of the pack. Especially also if they are trying to create raptors more accepting to humans (selective breeding). But I don't know if they're going to go into that.

The premise is that after a decade of the park being open, regular dinos aren't as captivating as they used to be. The hybrid is worked on to generate interest again as something new, something unseen before.

a genetic hybrid herbivore would excite no one lol

 

[Death Metalist]

Looks disappointing to be honest but I'd love to be proven wrong. The first scene where the mom said "when something chases you *whispers* ruuuuunnnn *smiles*" made me facepalm to no end and that last scene reminded me of Shia Lebuttfuck with the monkeys in KOTCS or that "NO PRISONERRRSSS" scene with Lawrence and the Bedouins in Lawrence of Arabia. Overall, I felt meh about the trailer but liked the look of the park, lake full of dinosaurs on the side and those hamster balls.

 

[Sapiens]

My childhood is being molested by the Telepod union of Bill Cosby and Gian Ghomeshi here.

Just kidding, I'm not a complete man child idiot. Looks cool.

 

[Calcium]

Other than the obvious "because it's a movie" answer.

If you are aiming to create the most exciting new attraction at the park of course you'd go with a carnivore. Most people would name a carnivore if they were to name their favorite dinosaur. It's what the people want to see.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Why go through all the trouble to make something many kids(your park's target) would call a lame dinosaur.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Not feeling it. Not feeling it at all. Big swooping CGI shots looking far worse than the originals is bad enough, but then the dialogue is atrocious and they're having Andy Dwyer play a straight laced 'knows better' dinosaur hunter/whatever? Feels like whoever made this was tone deaf to what they were working with.

Also, not to take movie character thought processes too far but creating sea dinosaurs that modern battleships couldn't take down and then going on to create some super dino and be like "oh, it climbed a wall huh" is just a level of "ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID" I can't get on board with. Is it a sequel and not a reboot, as in Jurassic Park happened and everyone didn't learn JACK SHIT?

 

[Jb]

The CG is distractingly underwhelming but we'll see what this ends up like.

 

[fierrotlepou]

Who has allowed a bunch of nitwits to get the Jurassic Park license?

 

[FiveElementNinja]

Day one.

 

[LaserBuddha]

I dont have problem with the trained raptors.

Raptors are smart, and smart animals can be trained to some degree if you raise them from birth with that goal. If tigers can be "tame" I'm sure raptors can.

 

[MHWilliams]

That does make sense.
