It looks better than I could have ever imagined. The little kid in me who spent years rewatching the VHS all the time is bawling his eyes out.

For the exact same reason you make a theme park of cloned dinosaurs in the first place: you think it will draw people in and you think you can control it

Okay, I guess that could make a twisted kind of sense, but wouldn't simply having dinosaurs alone be enough of a draw? They had enough trouble keeping the originals under control without making new things to kill them all.
 
As much as I disliked safety not guaranteed, this looks like a classic case of a studio rushing out a piece of shit for the sake of fulfilling a date rather than any fault of the director. Hard to be too upset when there's only one good movie to ever even come out of this franchise.

Everything that's wrong with this generation in one shot.

My bad, lost track of the context there :p



That didn't bother me nearly as bad as the mother's hamfisted dialogue in the airport telling her son to run if anything/anyone comes after him. Like seriously, what kind of a mother says something worded like that to their kid? She might as well have turned to the camera and addressed the audience directly by proclaiming "HELLO AUDIENCE, I'M FORESHADOWING THE INEVITABLE PLOT POINTS AHEAD".

I'm exaggerating a bit obviously but the majority of the dialogue in this trailer just made me roll my eyes and gave me a sense that this was a film that looks like it wants to just go through the motions.

Thats the line people are definitely picking the most on, but for me its all of Chris Pratt's dialogue.

DEPENDS ON WHAT TYPE O DINOSAUR THEY DONE COOKED UP IN DAT LAB.

Like, yes, movie logic, but the sheer number of things that are going to have to have gone wrong here are astounding:

-Chris Pratt hasn't been shown anything about New Dino (required for big reveal I guess). Guy he's talking to has no clue either. Plot amnesia requires all involved to feign "huh?"
-No security camera footage exists of what actually happened. (GHOST OF NEDRY)
-No round the clock security workers survived its escape.
-The area was just a pit. The safety is "its set down quite far!", and then can easily escape into rest of park. No electrified fences? No tripwires? Nothing.
-No weapons to immediately take it down with tons of tranq turrets or whatever, after a T-Rex took on San Diego. A T-Rex that when taken back to the island was flanked by like 10 battleships ready to nuke it.
-They keep the Raptors in more secure holding pens and not their new super carnivore because "theyre a bit dangerous".
-Not even a random tropical storm can be blamed for power outage or anything like that. Perfect weather.

I hope theres another computer hacker responsible for this NEW PARK FAILURE nonsense, and his hacker screen is Goldblum making the "awrhh,hah-hawwrrhhh" sound on loop.

And that's why I'm interested: the premise of the movie is that the park is open and ten years later...people are kind of over it. So desperate to draw in new people, they make some dumb decisions.

In the film, Jurassic World has been operating without faults for over a decade. Now the public has seen all their dinosaurs and they've become commonplace like a zoo, so profits and attendance is dropping. So they decide to invent some new dinosaurs to serve as new attractions.

Don't see the problem with that. Kid's going to a dinosaur theme park. Like parent's don't mess with their kids? And why would they be worried or scared? Park's been open for 10 years without incident.

It's like going on the Animal Kingdom safari and joking that the lions might attack.

I just booted up the original one to watch. Man-Sam Neil and Jeff Goldbloom look so young...

This kid, though:

A Jurassic Park movie outlining the horrors this kid witnessed and suffers from as an adult due to his experience at Jurassic Park would probably make for a more interesting premise than what we have now.

Which is stupid if we assume the filmmakers are incompetent. Which hey, maybe they are and this is going to suck. But if they're not then it ties in very neatly to the entire running theme of Jurassic Park which is hubris and overconfidence.
Click to expand...

In JP1, their hubris was that they thought they could control "life", they didn't fully understand the genetics, which ends up biting them in the butt. Heck, Hammond specifically mentions that as far as safety, "Every precaution has been taken". Not to mention that even with the extra dinos they didn't know existed the REAL problem was sabotage. Which had nothing to do with their hubris about creating and controlling "life". Heck, JP would have worked fine if Nedry hadn't turned the power off everything.

In JW, safety seems to be an after thought. And the park going "nuts" is all about their Frankenstein's Monster escaping their meager defenses.

Well of course, to us obviously :P

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 buy it. You have thousands of people a year wanting to go to see whales at sea world (fucking horrible place it may be) I do not accept that if the managed to open a park with real life dinosaurs they would struggle to find people to visit after a decade. That is just nonsense.

I would hazard a guess and say that genetically engineering and keeping dinosaurs is slightly more expensive than keeping some whales.
 
Voror said:
It completely lost me when they started talking about making a hybrid. I mean, why?! There's no point to doing so other than saying you can and why would you make something incredibly deadly?
Click to expand...

Why is because the theme park has a declining attendance rate after being open for ten years. It's a publicity stunt to spark new interest.

This tired question pops up in every page, and it's because the trailer was shit at describing the premise. I agree with most that this trailer left a LOT to be desired. It says exactly nothing about all the characters, and the cherry picked dialogue chosen for this trailer were turds.

But I'm also hyped to see anything coming out about the only dinosaur movie franchise in existence.

Oh, I didn't know this was it running for that long with no issues. In that sense, I guess I could understand if they were desperate and thus trying out new things.

Would have been nice if the trailer outlined that as I'd kept off the radar on this one for the most part.

Aren't these the same people who wanted to make a dinosaur zoo in the middle of San Diego? Hammond was the voice of reason, but he's long gone now. Making something that's thrilling and exciting and new takes precedence over safety.
 
This looked...bad.

The dinosaurs are all CGI now, but somehow, the dinosaurs from the original film in the mid 90s look more convincing.

And the writing...*shudders*

Yeah trailer's not great at explaining this stuff. I only know cause I've been paying attention to interviews and such
 
I'm hyped for this. The let's create a new genetically engineered dino seems like the kind of hubris that is in character for the world of a working Jurassic Park and make for an entertaining movie.
 
Pratt's delivery was terrible and WHY IS HE TEAMING UP WITH RAPTORS?

Killed all hype.

And in turn they could charge astronomical prices.

Let's be real here. If they opened up a real life park with real life dinosaurs there would be a ten year long waiting list to even be able to visit. I just cannot buy the basic premise of this that they need to make a hybrid to generate interest.

Could it still be an interesting film? Perhaps. I hope so. The more horror aspect is great, the best bits of JP for me were not the sweeping views of dinosaurs but the tense parts, hiding from raptors. If it has more of that, great.
 
Ugh genetically modified dino kinda ruins the whole battling nature theme of this series...

Also where is Chris Pratts Spas 12

Why isnt he riding a KLR at the end

and how does a mosquito get aquatic dino dna
 
Shocked on two fronts:


1. This is getting made.
2. People are excited.



The exact same movie 4 times? Making the same mistakes as the sequels?

Contrived sense of awe followed by PG-13 Slasher tropes? Check.

Senseless child companion? Check.

"Nature can't be controlled." theme? Check.

"Corporations are greedy." theme? Check.

God, this looks dumb. I was actually interested until this trailer.

I think I'm good.
