Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - Part 1

[terry78]

The first JP turned into a horror once the raptors started opening doors and ****.

The latest trailer kind of gives me the feeling they are going into direction of Planet of the Dinosaurs. At least, that's sort of how it comes off.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I’m with you bro Nice to see some others in here who are excited like myself besides the usual stuff in this thread. They were some beautiful shots in this trailer as well.

There were some great shots I agree, and loved Jurassic World so was always looking forward to the sequel.

I just realised how much of a Lost World remake this looks like. This really looks like trash.

 

[I Am The Knight]

... I mean sure it does look similar to TLW but "trash" ? I think it looks like it has a lot of potential to be really fun.

 

[marty mcfly]

Lol looks like trash? Seems a bit hyperbolic don’t you think? There’s a finite number of original stories involving humans and dinosaurs that go beyond a typical monster movie (Kong, Godzilla, Cloverfield) and even if you don’t like the idea of saving the animals from a corrupt company who wants to weaponize/sell them, the movie looks FAR from trash. Gorgeous cinematography, suspenseful scenes, great CGI. Looks like a fun time to me!

 

[Hunter Rider]

Just watched the trailer, looks awesome to me! some of the shots are fantastic, like the Mosasaur attacking the chopper, and I like that they've kept the fun banter despite adding a slightly more monster movie feel to things. It also seems like only part of the movie takes place on the Island while the rest has the evil scientist and his corporation trying to sell a new hybrid as a weapon, which is an interesting shift.

 

[jmc]

I think this looks terrible the more I watch the trailer. Not only that, but the fact they are retreading the same ground yet again is proof enough that Jurassic Park isn’t a concept that can sustain multiple films. The characters are getting increasingly stupider and the dinosaurs more ridiculous.

Same here man.

There’s Hunter! I’ll have to PM you so we can discuss more.

Once again B movie story, over the top action scenes and explosions, imaginary dinosaurs , cliche characters , dinosaurs behaving like humans, bad CGI all over the place...

Sad thing they kept everything bad about Jurrasic World and added some more. What a mess.

Jurassic Park is dead, these are megabudget Sharktopus series...

The trailer is trending #1 on YouTube

This franchise has always been a B movie story.

The dinosaurs are all imaginary to some degree Real dinosaurs, even the ones in the first 2 films, didn't look like these and some of them didnt even exist.

There are no dinosaurs behaving like humans in that trailer. Just predators behaving like predators and Blue behaving like a trained pack animal. Nothing wrong with that. Not all animals are dumb.

Blockbuster action is fine for a franchise like this.

The cgi looks fine and will probably be more polished in the final film.

Mmm, your guys' posts could be more hyperbolic, I don't think you're giving your best here.

By your measurements, its been dead since The Lost World. And really, in all respect to Spielberg, even the first one was still just a monster movie. Which, to be fair, is something he made super popular.

 

[jmc]

The first one was a cleverly crafted monster movie. The issue is the concept never had the depth to go beyond that, hence why every film since has been a poor imitation of it, even Spielberg failed to match his own work. There's been no real path for the series to grow naturally beyond film one, so the only way to keep the series alive has been make it ever more ludicrous.

 

[Ninjablade]

Trailer was alright. I'm definitely way more interested in the second half of the movie than I am the first half. Just hope theres enough stuff to keep things interesting while they're on the island.

I enjoy World for what it's worth. Not a great movie, but a good popcorn flick to watch with some buddies if I'm bored.

The issue is you're looking for a lot of depth in a monster movie about dinosaur theme parks. There doesn't need to be much depth to justify these films. The path for this franchise is simple: man makes dinosaurs and dinosaurs eat man. The only thing the franchise needs to do is change the specifics and scenarios from film to film and introduce new monsters in each film.

The first one brings up some very good questions about how far science is willing to go and the dangers of tampering with natural selection wrapped in a monster/horror movie. It's every film since that has essentially been as dumb as you've described it.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Basically, the original film said all they ever needed to say about this stuff. All the sequels have basically been different degrees of trending the same ground, with varying results of quality. I don't know exactly what people expect at this point. If you aren't along for the right, I feel you. I am not really. But at this point complaining about it to a large degree feels like raining on those who are's parade.

As for the trailer. Definitely has some neat moments.

Exactly. Every movie after the first one is just a glossed up Scifi channel Saturday Night movie.

 

[terry78]

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is the obvious ramp up. Basically Mad Max/Jurassic World.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Trailer looked great. I can't wait!

Where we are right now:

The inevitable upgrade:

 

[DyeLorean]

I wanna say that I do like the suspense vibe of this. Is like they took the kitchen scene from JP and tried to recreate that.

 

[Sithborg]

I wish they would at least attempt to bring back the DinoRider toys.
