Jurassic World: Dominion

You guys are crazy. Sam Neill is great in the first movie.

Chris Pratt's character should have died in the first film. He's the dumb center-piece of this dumb trilogy. Bryce Dallas Howard's character is fine, but would have faced greater danger and been easier to root for had she not been accompanied by a walking action figure the whole time.

He was the only smart and capable character in the whole film. Not to mention he was selfless and put himself in danger repeatedly for Claire and her nephews and cared about the dinosaurs. Fallen Kingdom did his character dirty.

for me he and the Trex are the stars of this franchise. Lost world was ok but was clearly missing him and jp3 while it sucked neil added a salvageable component to it

He's not particularly smart though. Everyone else is just really stupid. He's jokes and smarm half the time, and agrees to lead that ridiculous raptor charge that kills nearly all involved. He's a stock action hero in a series where the strongest characters were doctors and scientists.

My theater laughed so hard at that scene

The Raptor charge was happening with or without him. He went along to reduce the risk to everyone as much as possible. And it only failed because the Indo had raptor DNA which none of the team can be blamed for since they were not told.

Throughout the film he does the best anyone can in the situations he finds himself in.

This scene is double silly cause he hasn’t interacted with those type of raptors yet

If you ask me, he's great in both movies he's been in. Still, Goldblum remains my favorite of the whole franchise haha.

I thought he did great given the material but his Dr. Grant is definitely different than the book

Wonder if Harrison Ford had taken the role as Spielberg originally wanted, how Grant would have been portrayed as

I actually think Ford's portrayal of Grant would have been in the same ballpark as Neill's since I'm inclined to believe that the script was written with Ford in mind. He's got that same kind of Ford grumpiness about him.

What I'd have been more curious about if Ford had signed on to play Grant is what the marketing would have been like since he'd arguably be a much bigger star than anyone else in the cast. Would they have put him in the Jurassic Park logo instead of the T-Rex?

Jurassic World Dominion: Meet The ‘Brutal, Vicious’ New Atrociraptors – Exclusive Image

 

[Deck Rickard]

LOL… maybe include some dinosaurs that don’t just look like slightly bigger velociraptors? Though at least this one is an actual dinosaur that existed and not just some “hybrid” they created so it could do whatever the plot requires.

 

[DyeLorean]

Maybe I'm in the minority here but I like every single character in every single Jurassic movie. Is the big franchise exception where I don't dislike any of the movies, I could watch any of them anytime.

 

[StarLord]

Maybe I'm in the minority here but I like very single character in every single Jurassic movie. Is the big franchise exception where I don't dislike any of the movies, I could watch any of them anytime.

Even Téa Leoni's character?

Dear God.

 

[DyeLorean]

Even Téa Leoni's character?

Dear God.

Yeah, she's fine. It's at the very bottom of the list, but she's fine.

Jurassic World Dominion: Steven Spielberg’s Emotional Response To The Original Characters Returning – Exclusive

For Trevorrow, getting the three of them back together was a major moment – and one he knew he had to share with the legendary filmmaker who united them in the first place. “The moment everybody shows up for the first time together, they’re all packed into a Jeep,” teases Trevorrow. “And I took a picture of it and I sent it to Steven [Spielberg]. He got very emotional. I don’t think even he was prepared for how moving it would be to see all of those characters that he loves, and people that he loves, looking incredible and on an adventure together.”

Alan, Ellie and Ian will be back alongside Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard’s Jurassic World duo Owen Grady and Claire Dearing – and according to the director, the film will be shared equally between both generations of Jurassic heroes. It’s a balancing act that benefited from the downtime production took during the pandemic. “A movie like this, with our legacy characters playing as large a role as our modern characters, it’s challenging to bring it all together in a way that has momentum, and also isn’t a five-hour-long movie," the director says. "It was nice to have the time to make sure that every character is honoured in the way that they need to be.” Who’s ready for an adventure 65 million and 29 years in the making?

I am assuming that is why he is leading that dinosaur by a rope? Trying to get it out of there?

Not necessarily; there were some dinosaurs that lived in occasionally snowy environments, and the big ones wouldn't have too much trouble keeping themselves warm through size alone. As long as it didn't drop below freezing for extended periods of time, the large ones would be fine.

It's just an excuse to keep their brand of raptors around, but they have to keep changing the designs for the same reason MCU superheroes get costume upgrades every movie. I think this is the first time it's being justified with an actual taxonomy change, though I think the rules for the roster is basically Pick a name that sounds cool and work from there (I'm sure that's why Pyroraptor olympius is gonna be in the film) especially considering that all we actually have from Atrociraptor in terms of fossil material is this and it's only about the size of a dog. I mean if you're gonna have giant raptors, why not just use ones that actually exist? Utahraptor, Dakotaraptor, Achillobator, hell even Austroraptor are all right there...

It's kinda like how in the first Jurassic World: Evolution game, they decided to include Deinonychus (the animal that JP Velociraptor was actually based on all this time) but because they didn't wanna stray off-brand or whatever, they went and did this to it:

Spoiler

Also that Empire photo is the worst picture to use to try selling us on the Atrociraptor.

Yeah you’re definitely right: Atrociraptor sounds cool (or rather, it sounds like a direct-to-video sci-fi horror film from 1998) so OF COURSE they would want to use it. But I’m surprised they passed up Achillobator, which sounds like it also falls into that category. Although it also sounds like it could be a porn film based on The Iliad.

And I find most JP characters annoying lol

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah honestly I don’t like many JP characters in either series of films. Even in the first one, I hated how they changed critical aspects of some of the main characters and/or killed half the people who were supposed to survive while letting people who should have been goners escape. Still a very good movie but I guess that’s why I’ve never held this franchise in super high regard.

Throughout the franchise, I only felt that one character should have survived that died, and that was Robert Muldoon, who survived in the book IIRC. The man was quite experienced with the raptors and had even more experience in the wild, so him going out like that, while memorable, was still insulting. The old JP expanded universe comics seemed to agree, as they brought him back from the dead with a hand wave of an explanation as to how he survived a raptor eating his face.

On the opposite end, there's one character that survived who definitely should have ended up as T-Rex or raptor chow, and that's Mr. Vince Vaughn himself, Nick van Owen from The Lost World. By sabotaging the Ingen camp, taking the baby T-rex back to the trailers, and taking the ammo out of Roland's gun, that dude was indirectly responsible for pretty much every death that happened on the island AND HE GOT AWAY WITH IT.
