Sci-Fi Gareth Edwards's Jurassic World Rebirth

[Pennywise]

This was the Monday mystery movie that played at select theater chains tonight! The JW instagram account gave it away last Friday, so I bought my ticket.

After seeing it, I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised. Rebirth does pay homage to the original JP film, both in obvious and subtle ways. The kills are graphic even for PG-13 and Edwards delivers the Dino goods even better than Trevorrow or Bayona did. It’s a stripped down thrill ride that deserves to be seen on the big screen.

And John Matheison’s camerawork— stunning!

Great poster. Good cast. And yet despite Edwards and Koepp, I can't bring myself to be trusting / interested / excited for this project.

 

[Sithborg]

Better than the AI ones.

Better than the AI ones.

But what of the AI mutants.

There was a big standee cut out for this in my cinema when I went to see Ballerina tonight.

What did you think of, Ballerina?
I Quite Liked it!

I get they're running out of interesting dinos to hunt the humans, but IDK if mutants are the answer. Indoraptor was enough.

They're all mutants, Lily!

That's been a weird fascination for them ever since Jurassic World. Maybe it's because TLW and JP3 used to have a bad reputation for being "more of the same but worse" and they figured by adding these new stupid ideas like creating brand new dinosaurs that doesn't exist or cloning humans or having giant grasshoppers would save the franchise. Now there's this big mutant thing again and it's just like "really?!".

It's funny because I feel like the only thing the JW movies have done is make people look back at TLW and JP3 with a much stronger positive feeling. They might have had their flaws but at least they weren't pandering to the audience.

I'll give Disastrous Rex and the others a pass here if they were genetic experiments gone wrong and not created on purpose.

But I swear, if I see a fire-breathing T-Rex I'm fastballing an Icee at the screen.

I mean, its a good solid thematic throughline of the new movies. Although, it is kind of hilarious that Wu created 2 more hybrids after he was almost killed by the Scorpius Rex.

I feel like once you introduce the ability to clone humans then anything dino-related just fades by comparison. I get that it's a natural next step of the technology and if they can clone dinosaurs then "why not humans?" but once you go to that stage then the dinosaurs become irrelevant in their own franchise.

 

[Sithborg]

I mean, once you have essentially resurrected an extinct animal, human cloning is merely a question of ethics, not ability.

Shouldn’t there be some law or some form of regulation at least an attempt at such things when we are dealing with a species that is,LETHAL to all other forms of life on the planet?

I don't disagree with you, it's just that once you take that step towards cloning humans then all this dinosaur stuff becomes a drop in the ocean. All these subplots of these movies about humans wanting to weaponize or just make money out of the dinosaurs, that becomes irrelevant if you can clone humans. That's the real gold mine.

Seeing Jurassic World Rebirth next Sunday and I'd say my initial hesitant mindset has only gotten the bar set lower by all the negative early talk. Maybe the movie will surprise me but a couple of things I have heard I'm not thrilled about. Have a feeling it will be one of those very lukewarm "It was better than the last two" (but ultimately forgotten in 2 weeks).

I looked into seeing if there were showings on Tuesday evening but the only ones I see are all midnight screenings.

They're avoiding those Tuesday discounts.
