Jurassic World 2: Genetic Boogaloo

I thought they were rebooting? Its just another sequel? Can this universe even sustain it?

It's been around since 1993, so I think it'll survive another decade.

Aside from the cast and the director, hard to be optimistic about this. Dominion was a huge disappointment for me. This can't be worse... right?

[Arachnerd]

Hard to be worse than Dominion. Plus for all his faults, I think Gareth Edwards is a better director than Colin Trevorrow.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Meh. Gareth Edwards’s best movie was one where he had to have Tony Gilroy take over to make it work. Give me Gareth Evans instead. I want a movie where an Indonesian special ops unit has to retake a run down apartment building full of dinosaurs who are all masters of pencak silat.

I'll probably end up watching it begrudgingly but nothing about it makes me excited in the least. I did enjoy the visuals of The Creator so I'm sure visually it could look good but the biggest problem with the last few movies was the writing and the characters so the cast really does nothing to make me more excited because the script could still be hot garbage.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Dominion wasn't very good, but it at least set up an interesting world where dinosaurs and humans were going to have to find a way to live with each other.

So what do they do for the next movie? Jettison all of that and virtually go back to the containment of the previous movies. I like Edward's and the case but not liking the approach here.

Jurassic World : DOA

About that title, I think it's a mistake to keep the “Jurassic World” brand, as the “Rebirth” subtitle probably won't be enough to give the impression of novelty and a project distinct from the last, contested trilogy. But as the same time, is this film really something new?
The synopsis is nothing to get excited about... It feels like it will immediately undo the new status quo from the last film.

Also, I've got nothing against Edwards, but if I recognize him for a certain eye when it comes to visuals (albeit a bit overhyped to me), that's never been enough for me to enjoy one of his films...

------

On a more global note : as much as I think it might be interesting to go in the direction of Planet of the Apes, I wonder if we would still be in the spirit of the franchise...
Without wanting to sound like a gatekeeper, I sometimes get the impression that Jurassic-Park is one of those franchises that can only tolerate a limited number of sequels before being completely diluted into nonsense...

I also think that he original novel has enough material for a filmmaker to return to it.
If Spielberg brought to screen the action and adventure side of things, I think there's some potential to revisit Crichton's work, this time focusing on the thriller/horror aspect...
But I get why Hollywood just want to keep milking that one cow...

As long as Rebirth doesn’t make me fall asleep like Dominion did, it can only go up.

 

[Arachnerd]

This presumably won't have locusts and a clone girl as the main focus, so it's already an improvement.

 

[JurassicWolvie]

From what I’ve heard of the plot synopsis, it sounds very promising and helps back up my argument that the best Jurassic films are the odd numbered ones. I didn’t hate Dominion like everybody else but I do admit that it was very disappointing and could’ve been a lot better (i’ll gladly take it over the first Jurassic World though). I’m glad they’re doing a huge time jump with this film to help distance it a bit from the World trilogy while not ignoring them completely. I’m just glad they’re not pulling a Halloween H2O with this film and ignoring everything that came after The Lost World or something. That was a fear I had that they were going to do when it was announced that David Koepp came on board.

Surving is one thing. Giving us quality is another.

 

[Deck Rickard]

I honestly wish people would stop going to see these movies. Aside from the first one, they’re terrible (IMO). It’s just that the more recent efforts have been so mind-numbingly stupid that they made The Lost World and JP3 look like The Godfather. I really don’t get what the appeal is anymore. Does watching dinosaurs attacking humans really wow people that much for the sixth or now seventh time? The films either have nothing new to offer and are just retreads of prior films (JW & JWFK) or take the story in such a weird, idiotic direction that you can see why new ideas aren’t always good ones (JWD). Aside from some of the actors, nothing about this new film gives me any hope that it will be an improvement over previous films.

 

[Rick190293]

Unfortunately Dominion made money, they won't let it go right now. This franchise needed a rest from the movies. Maybe a live action series or a game would keep the interest alive, and in the future a reboot closer to the book wouldn't be bad.
Who knows, maybe this is the first JP movie that is really great in 30 years?

I mean, I can't say I don't understand where you're coming from, but by that logic, then any potential dinosaur horror media that's not Jurassic Park related should just be put to rest or not be greenlit because "it's been done before".

You sound like as if none of these movies have been mediocre to above average since the first one.

 

[Sithborg]

How dare they make fun movies that people seem to enjoy.

I could see a biblically accurate dino film being different enough:

Also sounds like a certain kind of parody...

 

[DyeLorean]

I don't think they understand what makes the first one so good. It isn't the action or the spectacle, it's the suspense that makes it wonderfully rewatchable. The atmosphere, the thrills, the edge-of-your-seat set pieces.
That's why I like JPIII more than most people. It recaptures some of that.
They keep making them bigger and bigger and they lose focus... I mean Jesus Christ the last one was about clones and locusts. If that isn't losing sight of what's important...
