I was laughing my ass off every time they showed that kid with the big hair. SERIOUSLY!

 

[Neverwas]

i may be in the minority, but i am hyped for Raptor Squad.

 

[brandonh83]

I sort of wish the first part of the movie was like going through the park from the kids perspective. Seeing all the cool dinosaurs, then shit hits the fan, park is evacuated and a team of badass dino hunters are sent in ala the movie Predator.

That seems to be the case.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Totally

I love how the other thread had pages of people complaining about the "CGI gate", which turned out to be a practical effect. Makes it hard to take "horrible CGI" complaints seriously, especially when the CG is not demonstrably worse or "horrible".

That kinda seemed like what the third movie was gonna be.

Until, ya know... they all died about five minutes into the movie.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

The first film isn't cheeseball at all.

It is, but that's not why it's overrated. It's overrated because outside of the spectacle and the Berg's excellent direction, it has a pretty tepid story full of characters that aren't really worth rooting for.

I'm the biggest Spielberg fanboy around and the original JP is one of my least favourite films of his.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

This is great.

 

[ProfessorLobo]

Looks terrible, looking forward to it. That last scene was wtf in a good way for me. Bring on the cheese and camp.

That all depends on one thing...

What kind of movie they cooked up in there.

 

[funkystudent]

Everything looks so soulless.

 

[Ithil]

That's not quite fair. This isn't a leak. This is a trailer. it should look good

This is how every single CG heavy movie goes. They literally can't finish them that fast, otherwise the movie wouldn't have a year of post production.
The same conversation every time:

"Why does the CG look unfinished?"
"Because it is unfinished"
"Well why put out a trailer with unfinished CG?"
"Because they have to put out a trailer"
"Why not show no CG in the trailer then?"

Because then you get:

"Uh, eventually you do plan to have dinosaurs in your dinosaur movie trailer? Hello?"

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

And you're certain there is zero divide below the water between there and the stands? Or that the dinosaur isn't only let out of an enclosure to do the show?
Judging the entire technical aspect of the movie from literally one trailer shot is silly.

I'm not judging the movie, I'm judging the park as if it's a real thing, cause it's fun to speculate about what can go wrong.

I don't care what kind of divide you have down there, I wouldn't trust it. That thing looks like it could smash through damn near anything. Wouldn't even trust an electrified fence cause we all know how well that went. Always prepare for the worst when dealing with a giant dinosaur that eats sharks for lunch.

Sure it's no fun if you can't share a beach with a carnivore, but I'm just being one of the practical characters from the JP films.

Jesus Christ what a shitty house. Did a four year old build it? it doesn't even have a roof.

It could be worse, instead of a dinosaur park, it could be Nazi Germany.

 

[Vidpixel]

Except that kid didn't go to JP, he was the one on the excavation site (the one that said the raptor looked like a large turkey)

Haha, really? It's been way too long since I've seen the original. I was mainly just kidding.

 

[Angry Puppy]

uhhh shit that looked terrible

 

[The Technomancer]

i may be in the minority, but i am hyped for Raptor Squad.

I'm not hyped for it, but neither do I think its unforgivingly dumb. It will live and die by its execution

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Looks great.

Also, what that Bryce Dallas Howard? Looking great if it was.

 

[Guy.brush]

ILM did the CGI on the three SW prequels.

They aren't infallible.

They also got rid of a lot of senior San Francisco engineers about 1-2 years ago.
Including people with years of particle, TD knowledge to get costs down.
Lots of stuff is probably done by their Singapore unit.
Not saying those are not ILM but ILM is not a monolithic "always perfect" VFX house. Sure they have their pipeline for rendering, their libraries for rocket trails, explosions, they have their settings for accurate motion blur etc but you can't automate CG to the point of where anyone can do it. Much to the detriment of cost cutters world wide I would assume.

 

[More_Badass]

So what happens when someone's camera scares a baby stegosaurus and mama tail-spikes a kayak?

 

[brandonh83]

I'm the biggest Spielberg fanboy around and the original JP is one of my least favourite films of his.

See this makes me respect your opinion more. You don't even care much for the original so there's no way in hell you were going to like this.

 

[Jack Scofield]

So what happens someone's camera scares a baby stegosaurus and mama tail-spikes a kayak?

Or hell, if one of the dinos simply decides to cross the river.

 

[strafer]

Looks great.

Also, what that Bryce Dallas Howard? Looking great if it was.

That's her alright.

All three.

 

[Kathian]

I didn't...I didn't realise there were dinosaurs in that shot.

 

[TheKaeptain]

It looks better than I could have ever imagined.

Video games really have killed the youth's imagination.

 

[Ominym]

Lastly, the whole premise of the film is...weird. Did they not learn from the first mishap? I guess not.

If the technology already existed with most of the research and development complete, all that was needed was the finances needed to turn said R&D into a multi-billion dollar brand? I promise you someone would have another go at it. It would be a one of a kind product in it's own category of entertainment.

That's like saying that because sometimes we've had space shuttle failures everyone should just want to just quit and not try again.

Also, I bet the Yelp reviews of Jurassic World would be fucking great.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

See this makes me respect your opinion more. You don't even care much for the original so there's no way in hell you were going to like this.

If anything, it should mean I'm the one that's least going to be overhyped. Lowered expectations are a bad thing now? Shit looks bad, man.

 

[raphier]

Part of the reason the 1993 CG looks so good is because it was based on months if not years of stop-motion work before it and the people doing it all were one team (as opposed to having a dozen unconnected VFX houses do the work for the lowest bid)

Look at the number of bones in that T-Rex: Less than 30 joints! They knew what they were doing back then. Today a Rigger TD would probably put at least 10x the amount of bones in.

Or you know, it's dark, lowkey light, and it's raining noise.

 

[Guy.brush]

That's her alright.

All three.

The new Jurassic World staff sure learned from the pioneers.

 

[nictron]

Jesus Christ what a shitty house. Did a four year old build it? it doesn't even have a roof.

This post feels so good. Like a balm.

 

[yodandy]

I see people hating on the little kid, but the real issue is the emo angst ridden :rollseyes: teen from the beginning.

The kid is the same kid from Iron Man 3, who wasn't bad at all:

 

[Ithil]

Or hell, if one of the dinos simply decides to cross the river.

My next door's dog is prevented from leaving the yard by one wire and a collar. I think they can come up with a way to make them stay put.

 

[The Technomancer]

I'm not hyped for this because I don't really get hyped for things anymore. But this looks interesting enough that I'm almost certainly going to spend the $12 it takes to see it

 

[Dmax3901]

Looks pretty meh. Gonna lower expectations.

 

[Jacobi]

Jesus Christ what a shitty house. Did a four year old build it? it doesn't even have a roof.

Keep on defending a multi-million dollar project. If they don't know how to market it (ie NOT SHOW unfinished scenes, just things that are good enough to be shown), it's their fault.

Oh shit didn't realize that. Really liked that kid actually!

Don't you go to college? See if your book store sells tickets for your local theater for like 7 bucks.

 

[More_Badass]

Now I remember what that river shot reminded me of

Hope there's a T Rex at the end!

 

[Delta Assault]

My next door's dog is prevented from leaving the yard by one wire and a collar. I think they can come up with a way to make them stay put.

Hopefully something that works a bit faster then the Lysine contingency.

 

[strafer]

I feel this place would be a much nicer place if people would start respecting each others opinions.

Some will like this movie. Some will not.

It will not please everyone.

It's bad enough when someone threatened to kill me for liking TLW.

 

[brandonh83]

If anything, it should mean I'm the one that's least going to be overhyped. Lowered expectations are a bad thing now? Shit looks bad, man.

You're entitled to that. I'm just saying that if you didn't even care for the original that Spielberg, one of the greatest directors of all time made, the chances of you responding positively to this were going to be slim to none.

 

[The Technomancer]

Don't you go to college? See if your book store sells tickets for your local theater for like 7 bucks.

Nah I'm a good year and a half out. But there is a theater near me that does $8 tickets and they often have first run stuff

"Gee mom, I really have to go babysit my little brother at a totally wicked dinosaur park? But I was gonna go to a concert with Becky this weekend!"

 

[MattPeters]

The monorail whizzing by at the start looked pretty bad, still want to see it though. Hopefully the CGI gets smoothed out before release.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

That seems to be the case.

No I mean like badasses are sent in. If one can't carry a giant ass chaingun it's not working. Something like the characters from Evolve are sent in. Maybe Chris Pratt is the brains of the operation sort of thing.

 

[Ithil]

You want them to put out a trailer about a dinosaur movie, and not show any dinosaurs in it?

 

[Roven]

meh

 

[brandonh83]

"Gee mom, I really have to go babysit my little brother at a totally wicked dinosaur park? But I was gonna go to a concert with Becky this weekend!"

I'm not a nerd, I'm a *hacker*

This shit should be spoiler tagged:

Spoiler

there is a division of badasses from Ingen I believe, someone correct me if I'm wrong. The crazy guy that shot the sargeant and himself in Full Metal Jacket is supposedly playing some kind of hardened soldier type, possibly even a "bad guy" and there is leaked test footage of a submachine gun firing at a dinosaur moving through the jungle-- so it's very possible you'll get something along those lines

 

[Jarmel]

It is, but that's not why it's overrated. It's overrated because outside of the spectacle and the Berg's excellent direction, it has a pretty tepid story full of characters that aren't really worth rooting for.

I'm the biggest Spielberg fanboy around and the original JP is one of my least favourite films of his.

Grant, Goldblum, Grant's love interest, female daughter, and Hammond were all fine characters.

The cast was fairly good by and large.

 

[The Technomancer]

You want them to put out a trailer about a dinosaur movie, and not show any dinosaurs in it?

They should have a better workflow in place to prioritize shots that are anticipated for the trailer

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Is this a reboot? Or a sequel?

EDIT: Okay, I just checked. It's a....rebootquel. Huh.

Either way, excited to see the Raptorsaurus Rex.

 

[Kinsei]

You want them to put out a trailer about a dinosaur movie, and not show any dinosaurs in it?

In this case it probably would have been better.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

Hyped!

Also the amount of hate in this topic is hilarious, one would think that at this point people have learnt not to judge a film by a trailer.

Dude, I'm sorry to break it to you but this movie will blow. It's pretty much inevitable.
