Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

It’s because over the years my intelligence and consciousness expansion has grown far beyond the bounds of what other people find fascinating. I’ve searched high and low and it’s seems I can’t find anything that lives up to my standards anymore.

I’m not depressed, but I am stumped at why I can create something so much more interesting or actually funny without nearly any effort in my own mind instead of going to see an awful movie that costed millions of dollars.

lmao

I skimmed over a lot of the responses, and I've seen pretty much all that was mentioned, all of which feel like relics of the past that don't touch on any forward thinking subject matters that I'd expect by now. It seems we've hit a wall, at least for now.

Black Mirror had maybe slightly brushed itself onto a few scenarios, like experiencing being virtually trapped in a room without dying for thousands of years. People discuss whether it's moral or not because they were a simulation and not a real person, but this is an invalid argument since human thinking is substrate independent. Though having a subjective experience being tortured basically for thousands, or perhaps trillions of virtual years could be a very real thing in our near future, and reproducing this as a story on film in a convincing way is important for humanity to take a step back and consider how we should go about our decisions in the future.

Without sounding like I demand pure science fiction, why don't movies ever have the main characters be what humans become in the future, like non biological beings in a virtual reality? I'm not talking Matrix style VR, but a completely abstract version of themselves and their world that can be portrayed in a movie? Maybe beings span across multiple existences and can experience several worlds all at the same time. This could make movie scenarios more multidimensional, and seeing something on screen other than your ordinary human.

Why do movies need to have humans or animals in them anyway as their characters? Have we even explored non-character movies much? I really liked the idea of Rubber where a tire gains unexplainable self awareness and blows people's heads off with telekinesis, although it's not worth repeated viewings.

Pretty good troll until that last paragraph. You got greedy.
