There is also just no peril in Jurassic World. Everything takes place in broad daylight, and the main characters are incredibly obviously the main characters. Let's see, are they going to kill off the older brother? No, he's not nearly enough of a piece of poo poo to do that and it's PG-13. They'd never kill off the questionably-autistic little brother, that's just so obviously not an option. How about Chris Pratt's character? Of course not. Nor are they going to kill off the redhead workaholic; she's obviously going to be into Chris's character because he's gross and that's how movies work. I'm not trying to argue that the characters in the previous movies didn't seem obviously tagged with life or death, I'm just saying that the movie made it SEEM more dangerous. JP1 is fraught with danger - it's raining, nobody knows what the hell is going on, people have trouble communicating, dinosaurs spit nasty crap at peoples faces, Timmy get's shocked halfway to death... poo poo was going down. It's legitimately scary at times. But you know what else? As much as I can pick apart Jurassic World it is still somehow a watchable movie. I don't know why, either; I should hate the movie - it's predictable, it's filled with somewhat bland CGI, and it never really goes as far as a fan of the first JP wants it to go. But I don't hate it - it sweet and goes down easy, like a milkshake. Tumble fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Dec 8, 2017 |

All those dinosaurs drowning just made me sad.  This movie looks batshit crazy and I can't imagine what else is going to happen in it given that they show in the trailer how multiple threats against the characters are resolved.

3 A.M. Radio posted:The worst death (up until lady assistant in Jurassic World) was Eddie Carr in Lost World. The t-rexes ripped him apart. He was a good dude, trying to save a bunch of dumb, ungrateful assholes. The T-Rex in 3 has the worst death in the whole series, dude gets his neck snapped like it's some Primal Rage fatality.

MrMojok posted:Save the dinosaurs from an island that is exploding? What in the blue loving hell?!? I guess corporate policy now is to always go bigger with sequels. Why can't they just make a gritty dinosaur movie about surviving carnivorous dinosaurs? There's more than just raptors and T-Rex's you know. The dinosaur scenes in Jackson's King Kong are still easily the best since the first Jurassic Park film.

Have to think there is more to the plot than just going to the island to save the dinos B D Wong is confirmed to be in the movie, but he's also absent from the trailer. I think this looks cool and I'll be there opening day because I'm a huge sucker for Jurassic Park, but the one thing about this movie's premise that has me scratching my head a little bit is that if this cataclysmic volcanic eruption was inevitable, did no one consider it as a possibility when the park was built in the first place? Like, let's say the disastrous events of 'Jurassic World' never took place, and there was just a happy dino theme park full of happy tourists. Would they have had enough warning to evacuate the still-operating park before a volcanic eruption devastated the place? Like yeah I get that the volcano is a plot contrivance so this movie can have a ticking time bomb, but I'm genuinely ignorant re: real-world volcano predicting capabilities. Also, Carnotaurus confirmed in the trailer!!! I've been waiting for those dudes since The Lost World book.

I would assume that they are going to say that the eruptions are due to abandoned work they were in the middle of when Jurassic World was evacuated. I can't remember, did they ever mention Isla Sorna in Jurassic World? While they built a working park on one island is the other still sitting there as a nature preserve?

Yaws posted:This series has to have to worst track record. We got one amazing movie in 1993 and nothing but poo poo since. I'm seeing a weird "expectation" pattern with you. Like, I could see not expecting TLW and taking it on its own terms when viewing as being completely different, but there's no way it's possibly "poo poo," just given how ridiculously well crafted some of the scenes are (moreso than JP1 in half of the cases) and Kaminski upping the cinematography over the first. The only explanation to ignore that is not caring about what it was going for and feels like but more for what it matches what you expected or wanted.

I can't remember him ever caring starting to care about the Dinosaurs in 2 though if he does then gently caress it. From what he says in the trailer (Probably most of his lines in the film right there), his stance is more or less the same as it was in Jurassic Park. He starts by remarking about how he's being asked to talk about dinosaurs again, and repeats line for line his warnings from the first movie. It sounds less like he just began caring about dinosaurs and more like he's being dragged into talking about it again. That's actually one thing that stands out about Malcolm - he never stops seeing them as monsters that don't belong here. Even in The Lost World, he's just there to find his girlfriend and doesn't give a drat about dinosaur welfare. He's one of the least involved in the Greenpeace antics the rest of his group gets into, and his main concern is that InGen will bring the animals to the mainland and create another disaster. Other characters that survive their encounters with dinosaurs like Grant and the Kirbys tend to come around to appreciating them on another level at the end of the movie.

Wandle Cax posted:This film is like 20 years later it's possible he may have changed his mind in that time Plus throughout TLW the biggest thing going on is the parent t-rex trying to rescue their kid and the movie isn't subtle about that being a parallel to Malcom's situation. So it's not like the seed wasn't planted pretty clearly in his own movie that he might see them as more than monsters later on. You want an abrupt Jurassic Park character change check out Pete Postlethwaite's Great White Hunter dude in TWL. Guy goes from a demonstrably ruthless unflappable rear end in a top hat even in the face of the t-rex to sick of his life and retired in the span of a few seconds. Like there had to be a deleted scene or something.

Yeah, a modern or more "by the numbers" film would've had him come back in the climax of the rampage in the city but I think it's the right choice (or at least interesting and expectation-defying) to have that character just be broken. It lingers a bit. He doesn't get a payoff because sometimes people just don't, especially people who get what they want and find out it's not really what they want.

If the movie is just about the volcano going off then they have pretty much shown us the money shot in the teaser trailer with the ball flying off the cliff. I don't think they will do that. I think there is probably a second act that will be a bigger badder version of dinosaurs on the main land from The Lost World. Also I don't think we saw Ian Malcom anywhere but the court room.
