Don't know why people are so down on the raptor whisperer (well, actually, I do. It looks terrible). But Jurassic Park 3 also had a terrible moment when the humans and raptor have a heart to heart once their eggs get back.

So this isn't exactly out of the norm in terms of terribality.

Who wants to see some boring herbivore eating bushes or something? People like excitement and thrills. Why do people see alligator wrestling or go in shark cages? Or enjoy going on the coasters with the biggest drops?

A new never-before-seen dinosaur! Bigger than the Trex! Deadlier than the Velicoraptor! You thought you saw everything Jurassic World had to offer, but you've never seen a dinosaur like this!

Because most humans would be super psyched to just SEE a dinosaur? I dont' think there's a requirement that it be a killer before we bother getting out of bed in the morning.

I'm just saying from a plot perspective, it has trouble written all over it, especially when the folk in this movie are aware of bad history with this situation in the past.

I'm rewatching Jurassic Park now and I don't know how people can say this movie isn't in the spirit or theme of the franchise when it's literally the frutation of what Hammond and co always envisioned the park to be

- A park catered to everyone, not just the super rich
- Target audience is kids
- "More adventurous guests can opt for our jungle river cruise or for a close up look at our majestic winged dinosaurs"
- Basic tour + "other rides will come on-line six or twelve months after that" with "spectacular designs"

Jurassic World is everything that Hammond had wanted the park to be. If that's not a true faithful sequel to Jurassic Park, I don't know what it is.

And ironically, they're finally going beyond Ian's claim of "standing on the shoulders of giants" by venturing into uncharted territory and making a new creature.

I'm mostly with you. I always wanted to see the park open up to the public. Now we have that. I'm excited. Just hope it doesn't turn into a traditional dumb summer blockbuster flick.

More Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and less Marvel, essentially.

 

[Fawoosh]

Worse effects than a 20 year old movie.
Dino-Human hybrid.
I was hoping we would be going back to Jurassic Park, but this looks as dumb as 3.

EDIT: My bad, got the human hybrid bit from an old rumor. Sorry everybody.

The whole point is that people have seen dinosaurs. They've seen the same dinosaurs for 10 years.

One of your points is objective, one is factually wrong.

Come on man.

 

[playingwithfire]

So what was the impetus with naming the film Jurassic "World"?

Is this going to a Planet of the Apes type thing where the new generation of dinosaurs eventually threaten all of mankind?

Erm no, I believe it's because the park in the film is called Jurassic World. Which is a reference to real life theme parks like Sea World and Disney World. But I like your idea.

I think you meant SUBjective.

I'm sorry, but Jurassic Park was genius. In most scenes it still beats most movies coming out today. It was extremely clever how they created the special effects.

 

[Apt101]

Why are people down on trained raptors? They were intelligent as hell in the previous films, creatures that could definitely be trained. I think it's cool.

 

[Branduil]

Maybe Starlord will preside over a raptor wedding at the end? Feel good movie of the summer!

Maybe Starlord will marry a raptor.

 

[Fawoosh]

Come on man.

EDIT: Screenshots may not do it justice. The Jurassic World gate just looks so fake.

 

[More_Badass]

Oh man, even all these years later, that T Rex jeep attack is still so damn good.

[Symphonic]

That shot is a placeholder specifically made for the trailer, it's been said countless times in this thread. Gate in the movie is practical.

Now if you had picked the water dino scene, I would agree the CG is shoddy there. Worse than 20 years ago, though? No, hyperbole.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Yikes.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

And the gate is massive compared to the JP1 one.

 

[Symphonic]

I thought the CGI in the raptor/bike scene was really solid, especially in the stills.

And the gate is massive compared to the JP1 one.

Bigger, more grandiose, more successful park. Why wouldn't it be?

 

[HylianTom]

Nice choice of motorcycle.

 

[Melon Husk]

How? I must be blind or something. One out-of-context shot, mainly in the realm of realism, with a mix of practical (Pratt is actually on a bike) and CGI? Vs CGI Shia swinging through the threes with CGI monkeys, throwing physics and logic out the window? You know, maybe if Pratt was actually riding the raptor like a horse, yeah I'd agree with you.

We don't know that yet, maybe he will

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

My problem with the genetically modified dinosaur is, you've already had multiple disasters with regular dinos, so why would you want to make dinosaurs that are even worse?

Seems like it rehashes the same "corporate greed leads to stupid decisions" and "just because you can doesn't mean you should" themes from the first movie.

@2:30 RIP Grants underwear.

That whole scene is amazing though.

 

[Namikaze1]

Trailer was eh. Starlord with his trusty pack of Velociraptors reminds me of Shia and the monkeys.

I know. I have no problem with the gate.

Damn straight.

 

[Abounder]

True, but they're trying to promote the movie. And with this trailer, they're promoting it as a dumb summer action movie which will most likely be filled with these dumb one liners.

I know it just sounds like I'm hating, but I love Jurrasic Park and I enjoy Pratt in Parks and Rec.

I just want this movie to be good.

Bryce Dallas Howard is shaping up to be the real kiss of death for action blockbusters: Spider-man 3, Terminator 4, and now JP4. But I'll probably still have fun

Trailer reactions. The little girl on the bottom left is just adorable.

Dino-Human hybrid.

WHAT

 

[HylianTom]

Damn straight.

I smile because I've had pretty much the same Scrambler for two years now, hehe..

I might see the movie for that reason alone.

 

[Fawoosh]

Good point.

 

[geomon]

I'm sorry, but this looks awful. Like Jurassic Park 3 bad.

I don't think themes are really things that one calls out as "rehash". Themes should be consistent and be carried out through various iterations because they are the foundation of the franchise. The Lost World backed the themes, Jurassic Park 3 did not (and was shit, though not necessarily because they abandoned the themes).

 

[Darksol]

Well, that trailer saved me twenty bucks.

 

[Snaku]

I'm sorry, but this looks awful. Like Jurassic Park 3 bad.

 

[triplestation]

lmao Starlord and raptors versus Lookatwhatwe'vedone

this will be fun

 

[Caddywompus]

Oh, they do. And they don't care. In the book, Hammond was the only one reigning them in and keeping them from making new dinosaurs.

Didn't they already modify a dinosaur by making frilled and poisonous? They're just taking the next logical step

And in the movie, they described JP as a "major zoo and a major theme park" with rides. It was always envisioned to be more than just a zoo or preserve

I don't think the plan was ever to slap a pink tutu on a t-rex and make it ride a unicycle. The shamu-esque Mosasaurus and trained Raptors comes off as a tacky circus side show. Again it could be an interesting dynamic to explore going against Hammond's wishes.

Was the Dilophosaurus actually referred to as hybrid? I always thought it was Hollywood's creative license/misinformation about the dinosaur.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

Let's not go overboard here

I'm crying over here...I forgot this scene happened

 

[Snaku]

The Mosasaurus feeding is no different than this.

And I'm fairly certain the trained Raptors aren't an attraction.

 

[Oersted]

Philosoraptor will wrap it up with wise words and hints for the sequel.

 

[Timu]

There's been plenty of good movies that got lauded on gaf this year.


Captain America 2
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Xmen Days of Future Past

Those movies are great!!!

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Maybe Starlord will marry a raptor.

New phone background right here.

possible concept art of Lookatwhatwe'vedoneasaurus

if its the one on the far right that would be cool

the secret to enjoying this movie would be to ignore that it has anything to do with the jurassic park name

You know what? I'm not even going to try anymore
Saying how one should enjoy a movie based on one short trailer and ignoring how it ties into the ideas and plans of the original makes so much sense

 

[WAR recon zero]

i have watched the trailer 10 times

I'm on board the hype crystal ball train

 

[antonz]

That concept art was from the script from years ago. The Hybrid in world is nothing more than an oversized Tyrannosaurus with Raptor and other features

No it's not.

People are seriously making up reasons to hate the movie now.

Edge of Tomorrow

None of those are what the D-Rex will look like. Lego leaked the design out, it's not too hard to find on Google.

you have proof of this dude?

the most they revealed were arms and legs
