Jurassic World Official Trailer

I've noticed a lot of people I know are wanting to see the movie just because of Pratt.
Looks like JW lucked out with getting him into the film, especially as his next big film after GotG.

Yeah, seems like a no brainer now but GotG was unknown if it would be a success when he was cast for Jurassic World. It was lucky for sure.

If Jurassic World turns out great (which I really hope it does), it'll be another big boost for Pratt, being a lead in three mainstream sequential hits (LEGO movie, GotG, Jurassic World).

One thing that kind of irked me with JP3 was the overall intense aggressiveness of the Pteranodons. I mean they were seriously hostile...did that have any basis in fact/research? Weren't they fish eaters?

There are tons of things wrong about JP3's pteranodon.

  • They lack pycnofibers (hair-like filaments), which would have likely covered the real life pteranodon's body.
  • They have grasping feet to pick up prey, which were not present on the real animal.
  • They have concave pointy bat-like wing membranes that can't fold properly and match no modern pterosaur membrane reconstruction.
  • They can pick up a small child with ease; a real pteranodon would have likely weighed as much as if not less than the kid
  • They repeatedly attack humans, when the real pteranodon were primarily fish-eaters.
  • The babies are confined to waddling with the mother bringing them food for a long time like birds; baby pterosaurs fossils had well-developed wings and could likely fly from an early age.
  • Speaking of babies, I can't imagine any real life animal leaving live prey that large next to its young

Agreed.

Despite being the only fresh segment in the film, it also was given the Spinosarus treatment. The Pteranodons were nonsensically the instigators of the entire sequence, bloodthirsty and relentlessly persistent to eat the humans simply because they showed up.

Fish eaters somehow prioritizes the humans for food and drops him off to the babies without even maiming him critically first. That kid could technically have picked up every single baby and thrown off the plateau since they can't really fly lol

Every dino on Site B essentially became the raptors of the previous two films, while the raptors became rational and somewhat civil.

Yeah. At that point you could just substitute any CGI monster and the movie would lose nothing.

I think one of the reasons why the Tyrannosaurus in the rain segment of the original Jurassic Park works so well is that it's treated as a big frightening animal. When the dinosaur sees something new, it takes a moment to judge instead of immediately going into kill mode. When it attacks the car, it doesn't distinguish between the screaming kids inside the car and the car itself because there's no reason for it to know the difference. When you want to distract the tyrannosaurus, a flare works fine because it's not a rational being. All of this makes it more interesting to watch because it's like seeing a living, breathing thing on the screen.

Agree, the Rex was handled really well in the first film and I think the scene with it ambushing the Gallimimus adds to this. We get to see it acting like an animal again. It's free from it's paddock, it's hungry, it has a chance to hunt so that's what it does. It's not just lying in wait for a chance to attack the characters.

Absolutely. I seriously hope the director makes an effort to stress this angle for dinosaurs. What I really want more than anything is for them to be portrayed like natural animals again from the first two films. I want the D-Rex to be unpredictable and extremely aggressive/confused/dangerous, but I absolutely don't want it to be something that primarily targets humans for no reason, like a typical hollywood monster.

But raptors shouldn't be "friendly" with humans or something. You ever see wild lions, tigers or bears mingling with humans? Didn't think so. /sarcasm

If anything, the creation of I-Rex gives them creative freedom to go nuts with monster movie stuff AND allows the other animals to instinctively protect themselves from it by playing hero. So we have a JP movie where we can actually root for the dinos without being at the expense of the humans. I'm all in.

Edit: hahaha @ "The Lost Park"

Chris Pratt gets intel from his raptor cohorts of a Site C - an island used to create humans to attend the now defunct park. These humans now run wild and threaten the dinosaur population. Can Pratt save his raptor bros' family and friends? Find out in Joe Johnston's Jurassic World: The Lost Park.

It will have to come down to execution and how far they push it. I like the idea of cool classic dinosaurs being defensive with the destructive new hybrid but it's gotta be handled with care.

I feel like its physical features and intelligence will give it that extra "monster" edge already since it's a brand new creature: a huge theropod that can camouflage and is extremely intelligent, which can lead to really unique scenarios you won't get otherwise.
 
Probably been mentioned already but another thing that bothered me was the "we learned more about genetics in the past year than a century digging up bones" part. I'm pretty sure you don't learn anything at all about genetics from dinosaur bones?

Probably mentioned at some point but I didn't realize that Dallas and Pratt's characters were in this photo :U

Also, fuckin' bums sitting in the stairs.
 
Im sure someone touched on this but its a long thread.


Anyways the trailer was awesome until the scene with the raptor gang teaming up with the guy on the motorcycle to take down the genetically altered dino.


I cant really get behind this ... seems awfully cheesy.
 
Just like a lot of others in this thread the blatant CGI, simple dialogue, and the whole genetically designed dinosaur thing has me worried. Hopefully it succeeds in just being a really fun popcorn movie.



Jurassic Park is one of my all time favorite films, but I learned to never get too excited about it's sequels after seeing The Lost World on opening day when I was 11. As I sat there watching the movie unfold I couldn't believe what they had done. Just...

Soon after I became a man after seeing The Phantom Menace in theaters, as it stomped out any childlike wonder left inside me.

I find some of the points interesting in the article. The movies have the theme of we have gone too far with science and genetic fuckery is wrong. He wishes it was more a of movie that celebrated it's fictional scientific progression instead of demonizing it.



...But then it would be hard to have dinos escape and eat people if it all went good.

Honestly, a T-Rex that can turn invisible is a really really bad idea.

And it's not like JP cautionary morals is the reason why we can't clone dinosaurs yet.

Edit: The whole article almost sound like "The original Godzilla is the sole reason why we can't nuke any country that burns our flag anymore. Fuck progress haters!"

It doesn't make sense how close it is to the audience though.

That scene was really dumb IMO. I know the whole concept of a dinosaur theme park is stupid (which is fine), but that part made me feel outraged or something.

Like, what's to stop the big sea monster from choosing Row B over the shark for its afternoon snack? They literally set up a Whitman's Sampler of people for the dino to choose from.

Maybe the camouflage-ability is an unintended side-effect, similar to the gender-shifting abilities of the original park.

It would explain Chris Pratt going into it's paddock, everyone thinks it's escaped, but it's only hiding and while they're investigating, D-Rex goes "SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER!"

Looks like people are just hanging out. I think this could be after the scene with everyone running from something outside the Jimmy Buffett's. They probably ran into the visitors center to escape.

I mean, in Operation Genesis, when a dino gets loose or a typhoon strikes and you don't have emergency bunkers, then everyone goes to the visitor's center. That's canon. :p

Uhm I don't think everyone would be relaxing and reading brochures when their life is threatened.

Yeah I don't think so.

I hope so, because there's an uncomfortable amount of babies in that picture. Aka "distractions to throw at big dinos to slow them down".

A lot of those people don't look comfortable. Plus, this could just be a shot between takes.
 
I just managed to watch the trailer on a bigger scrren than a cellphone and I have to say - while I don't mind the content yet, I already don't like the look.

It's the modern Spielberg look (War Horse, Indy 4) that is washed out a bit and just doesn't transport a necessary sense of reality with it. At that point an all animated movie would probably work better with me.

Still too early to judge it though. Could work out just fine, could become a point for me that just kills the mood :P
 
They've put so much into the worldbuilding that it would be really odd if there were not plans to make a new JP/JW game after this film. I mean, the environment layout, creature designs and such has already been put together.

I'd love a FPS/CryEngine style survival game for this one.

I think it depend on the species, there were insect eaters, fish eaters and some big enough to hunt little dinosaur
