I have no expectations of JW being any good at all but their cynical application of nostalgia is reeling me in.

achillesforever6 posted:The Lost World had a deleted scene that talks about how InGen has lost so much money paying off families of the deceased and for the dismantling of the park. Should have run the park through a web of subsidiaries and shuttered them after the incident, instead disseminating the money to offshore tax havens or something.

I was all onboard for Jurassic World until it turned out to be about an amazingly dangerous fake Dinosaur engineered to be a park attraction. gently caress that poo poo man. Half the appeal of Jurassic Park is that it's not a simple monster movie.

Uh Jurassic Park is about as simple as monster movies get-- dude tries to make a dinosaur theme park; it backfires spectacularly. That said where are you getting that Jurassic World is going to have or revolve around an entirely fictitious dinosaur, because given how tenuous most dinosaur information is anyway--Jurassic Park and going by this poster Jurassic World are both out of date since their dinosaurs don't have feathers; "yeah but they used frog DNA blah blah blah  "--it seems weird they'd invent a dinosaur out of whole cloth.

But the Dinosaurs themselves are treated as individual animals, even if collectively and with the hurricane they become a force of nature. The new fictional dinosaur however is the size of a T-Rex, amphibious, smarter than Raptors, can chameleon with its surroundings and has to be taken down by Chris Pratt and an army of trained Raptors and a T-Rex. It just sounds like lovely power creep that turns regular animals into a singular super villain, which isn't something I give a poo poo about watching.

PriorMarcus posted:But the Dinosaurs themselves are treated as individual animals, even if collectively and with the hurricane they become a force of nature. Per my post a few above I actually agree, I just also think that Jurassic Park is a very simple movie when you get down to it-- that's part of its appeal.

Peanut President posted:That was in the book sequel. It was one of InGen's "future developments". It's hard to tell what they're going for with the limited details they've given. In the book it wasn't clear if that dinosaur was genetically modified, in fact I'm pretty sure it's done in the standard Crichton style of explaining the ability like it was a real, known dinosaur feature. The dinos in the sequel were all supposed to be more wild and beginning to re-adapt to their niches. The Lost World book is great, it's filled with tons of little dino details and JP backstory and all these crazy action setpieces. It doesn't have the same high concept charm as the first novel, but for my money it's just as good of a read. I'll never understand how they chopped it up and wound up with the movie. Awesome motorcycle chase scene with raptors and tranq guns? No, we'll cut that. How about, like... a T. Rex shows up in San Diego? Also, Jeff Goldblum is supposed to be off his tits on morphine for half of the movie. What focus group didn't want to see that? edit:VV Oh, is it? I can't be bothered to rewatch the movie and find out. Ror fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Jul 22, 2014 |

In the novel a bunch of raptors chase a jeep up a steep hill or something, in the movie they chase and capture dinosaurs using customized jeeps and motorcycles. The trailer/cliff thing is in both the novel and the movie though. The San Diego sequence is cool though.

Well I err on the side of modified because it makes sense compared to the first book of EVERYTHING was. The gas station scene was definitely weird and I still remember it to this day. I have no idea how good it would look on film, though.

There are two annoying kid characters in the Lost World book. Both are even worse than the annoying kid character we got in the movie. T-Rex vs San-Diego is awesome. Are we done snarking at the Expend Ables 3 posters yet. Because you guys missed out on the best one.  All hail the beak boner.

You see the thing about Jurassic Park is that they're actually not that great at running a dinosaur theme park. That's why the dinosaurs keep escaping and eating people.
