The natural progression?

There's definitely a lot of rage in here.

Wow. That sounds down right awful as hell. Might actually take the title of Worst JP movie from 2.

Man, Monsters said NOTHING. Part of that has to do with the fact there was never a script, sure, but hundreds of hours of ad-libs and nothing worth much got carved out of it. Godzilla is a better movie than Monsters by far, but even then, it only highlights what Edwards' deficiencies as a director are, and they become all the more obvious when you look at Monsters in that light.

I dunno, I thought it was an interesting perspective on immigration into the United States, and seeing it from an outsiders perspective. And I don't think Godzilla is better in any way, except cinematography and (by necessity) a rousing climax.

Also, I think Monsters managed to have a unique style and tone to it (although still in the mumblecore threshold), and give perspective to a landscape and culture that isn't often utilized in American film--especially monster movies. Whereas Safety offered nothing that I haven't seen before: a simple, by the numbers, romantic-comedy with the often aped 'indie' aesthetic, full of quirky characters and feel good spontaneity that permeates many of the films of that ilk. And aesthetically I found nothing of substance either, it was a very bland looking film.

Ima be honest. I had no real interest in this project pre trailer until now. I actually do not want another retread of a film setup they've done 3 times now.

And I've seen enough of their "normal dinos" too. I'm cautious but man, the idea of crossbread creature with the the smarts of the raptors, size of a t-rex, and the ability to camouflage itself too? I wanna see this on the big screen. Sorry it's Jurassic Park but since when has it been such a sacred franchise anyway. Especially post 3. Lol

Diablo has child bearing hips

There's a good reason for that if you play the game!

 

[Makai]

Off topic, but does anyone recommend the books? How different are they from the movies? I'm interested in this Carnotaur.

Superior to the films if you like hard scifi.

 

[TitusGroan]

Superior to the films if you like hard scifi.

But inferior if you like snappy dialogue, brisk pacing and decent characterisation

 

[Kagari]

This sounds super bad. Worse than JP3 levels of bad.

Did you ever think you'd be writing that?

 

[Kyleripman]

The worst thing about this is that if the movie really wanted to have "new" dinosaurs, why couldn't they pick from the 1000+ known dinosaurs and simply give those traits (intelligence, camouflage, etc) to an otherwise realistic depiction? This is what Crichton did with the Carnotaurus.

Hmm, interestingly there is a Diabloceratops lol.

 

[Cow Mengde]

When the director outright said no feathers, I said it'll be worse than JP3. Even JP3 tried to update their dinosaurs.

 

[Neuromancer]

This sounds horrid.

I dream of a Jurassic Park reboot film that sticks closer to the book and goes for a hard R. I want to see Nedry's

Spoiler

intestines spilling out. I want to see Dr. Hammond taken down by a pack of procompsognathuses.

 

[lazorexplosion]

You want to create an artificial dinosaur with camouflage, because visitors will love an exhibit with an animal you can't see. Obviously.

 

[PhoenixDark]

This movie has train wreck written all over it. Those anticipating it through nostalgic glasses are going to be disappointed.

Yeah, it'll never be visible. Who knows how chameleons or cuttlefish are captured/photographed all the time seeing that they're always invisible.

This man knows.

 

[lazorexplosion]

And of course people will be bored of regular dinosaurs. It's just like how zoos are working on the lionophant because nobody goes to zoos anymore since people got bored of regular animals.

 

[SJRB]

The logic behind creating a fictional dinosaur to bring tension to a movie about fucking dinosaurs is beyond me.

This whole thing is so bizarre.

 

[lazorexplosion]

Yeah, it'll never be visible. Who knows how chameleons or cuttlefish are captured/photographed all the time seeing that they're always invisible.

Yeah it's only hours at a time that they're very difficult to see, not ALL the time. Perfect sense guys, perfect sense.

You know this... how?

Maybe not R, but when the recent rumblings about a new JP film started, I expected an updated adaptation of the first novel. Instead we have whatever this thing is.

 

[Darksol]

I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but holy shit did they find a way to make it dumber than my wildest dreams.

 

[Jaeger]

I think this movie will be so awesome. Lol
