On the other hand, that fight between the T-Rex and the Spinosaurus is one of the best dino scenes in the whole series. I'm also not really convinced that the T-Rex is supposed to be the newborn. There's no reason to believe that those two Rex's and the newborn were the only ones to ever live on the island at Site B.

I wouldn't say I love it, but it does have a lot going for it. There's only so much I can complain about a movie with William H. Macy, Sam Neil, and a bunch of dinosaurs.

Everybody shorthands the talking dream raptor on the plane as the lowpoint of the series and I’m always like what are you smoking, that’s the best scene in the movie.

I feel like the more common complaint is just the overall subplot of the 3d printed raptor vocal chords. It was kind of a lame way to mix things up with the raptors, I guess they felt like just having characters running and hiding from raptors was old hat.

Completely, it works on so many levels, it's the middle of the day and everything is brightly lit as the family is reunited with bright happy music, then it dawns on them that something is hosed and they turn to find this massive beast staring at them like Michael Myers. The happy music becomes droning strings/choir like something out of Bloodborne but has that god drat chiptune ringtone going. It's fantastic.

If they're going full crazy, they should have someone disembowel a raptor with a halberd or something, and have the other raptor be all confused because that's supposed to be their thing. What I'm saying is Jurrassic Souls please.

Since its kind of related its pretty wild that the new Jurassic World game actually has an actual story for its campaign mode which is something you don't see in tycoon games. What's great is that your 3 advisers from each dept (Science, Entertainment, and Security) are all representative of the hubris involved with Jurassic Park. Also Ian Malcolm spends all of the game just telling you why this is all a bad idea/going to go to poo poo, but we can't do anything because the genie is out of the bottle.  I really can't wait to read the encyclopedia in this game since the devs apparently went deep with the lore and paleontology research/dig sites. As for JP3 I kind of hate it, but its pretty funny how the ending Spinosaurus scene with it in the water is actually pretty accurate to how it lived (though it was much goofier looking in real life)

I'm kind of looking forward to the game. I want to just play it as a park simulator though and design nice attractions and watch the dinosaurs chilling out. I get the impression it'll basically rail road me into constant disasters and politics.

I know that stupid people making stupid descisions are a staple for these kinds of movies but maaaaaaan are there some incredibly stupid folks in this movie. Movie is....ummmm a bit of a mess, there's enough there I like I guess, Chris Pratt is a charming presence. The kid is a big eye roller though. I swear Hollywood has this factory where they push out perfectly bland and modelled kid actors that are used once and then never again. I mean, christ, the kids in the first Jurrasic Park were pretty annoying at times but they had a personality! This one acts like a lifeless clonse...

It's neat to have a director who's actually adept at horror. I wish he got to use those skills in a much better movie.

I'd like to see the next one be like a post apocalyptic thing a la Planet of the Apes where Chris Pratt has to fight the raptors with improvised weapons and ingenuity. And maybe a moderate Raptor who seeks a detente with the surviving humans.

I loved this movie. I went in expecting a big stupid summer action film with incredibly stupid decisionmaking by the bad guys, and that's what I got. Highlights: The running joke with the big carnivorous dinosaur getting owned by the t-rex everytime it tried to get a meal. Right at the end it seemed like it was going to get a break and get to eat the main bad guy, BUT NOPE, in comes t-rex again. At least it got to taste the guy's legs. The ridiculous amounts of intelligence the indoraptor and Blue showed. I swear Blue read the warning sign on that loving exploding gas tank. I also swear that after indoraptor climbed back up from falling through the glass it shook its head a bit, as if to say "that won't work fucker". Also despite Wu's small role, I liked it. He's still just a man who loves making superdinosaurs without giving a gently caress about ethics.

Initial thoughts - better than 2, 3 and 4. Way more enjoyable than I expected. I didn't really enjoy the first half, because it was just The Lost World beat for beat and it felt incredibly rushed. But then I realised that it was all setup for the real movie: The Spencer Mansion with Dinosaurs. It was really fun.I did enjoy how quickly they abandoned the pretence that the transparently evil militaristic hunters were on their side. The movie didn't even attempt to present it as a surprise when they betrayed the heroes after literally three minutes. God drat is the characterisation weak though. Other than the key traits established in the fourth movie Chris Pratt and BDH may as well be playing slabs of meat who may or may not kiss. I do feel cheated out of Jeff Goldblum though. I wasn't expecting his part to be big but Jesus. stev fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Jun 8, 2018 |

Woooow that film was a big old bag of crazy. I enjoyed it for the spectacle, and I generally have no problem turning off my brain for these sorts of films but there was so much stuff in that which took me out of it. I have to confess though I was a little bit disappointed that the young Lara Croft clone didn't turn out to have juuuuust a smidgen of dinosaur DNA in her or something dumb so she could control the indoraptor. In fact, when it did that really big zoom on her eye, I fully expected her pupil to turn to a slit. What a wasted opportunity. FiftySeven fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Jun 9, 2018 |

Steve2911 posted:Initial thoughts - better than 2 Hell no. 2 has better setpieces than 1, even, in places, and some masterfully directed sequences. And Kaminski's cinematography works incredibly well in certain sequences. I actually *like* 2 more than 1 (because I like satire and Ian Malcom makes one of the best audience stand ins ever), even if I'll easily admit it's not as tightly made or important. This movie was stupid as hell, but not stupid enough to be farcical and good. It only had to go a little more in the ridiculous direction to go over the top in a good way, but it was far too held back and ended up being just average and silly. The direction is a notch above 3 and 4, at least, but couldn't really save the tone.
