Jurassic World - - Part 11

[-Arya-]

You've avoided an entire movie experience just because someone told you that?

Yes, however that's why I came here and asked people who have seen it for confirmation.

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

Why haven't they announced another film yet?

 

[Boom]

The Universal executives have been hospitalized for suffocating in money.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I don't want them to rush a sequel, I think they need to take their time and think of a good concept as I really don't see where they can go from here without it feeling like a re-tread.

 

[OcStat]

I personally wish they would leave well enough alone and let this be the (more or less) perfect Jurassic swan song.

 

[Sithborg]

At the barest of minimum, they have to plan just where to put it down. Remember, we are getting a glut of superhero movies soon. And Star Wars will be retaking it's May spot in a few years.

 

[Iceman]

Another decent weekend. $600m really not that far off.

No movie studios would pass up a chance to make a sequel for a movie that made as much money as JW did. However, none of the sequels for JP1 were that great, so I think the executes at Universal should be cautious as they move forward with a follow-up movie.

Sweet summer child. Universal is going to bleed this franchise dry now that they've seen JW's box office.

 

[OcStat]

Yeah I know that's what will happen, and it's a shame. Unless they keep the bar extremely high, I can imagine the next two movies not being as good, not making as much money, and 5 or 6 years later we'll say they should have stopped after 4.

Age of Ultron made over 1.4 billion dollars, and just because it didn't surpass the original some people seem to be writing it off as a loss. So what happens when Jurassic Whatever is released and it only makes 1.3, or doesn't obliterate every record it's first weekend like this one did? Failure.

Since Trevorrow's second film (his first big-budget Hollywood film) is the highest grossing film of the year and shattering records and is a crowd favorite, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he won't drop the ball on the sequels. He clearly knows how to deliver a good time.

Personally, I'm not one of these people that wants something to stop while it's ahead. Keep making sequels. Odds are Ill enjoy some of them. I don't require that they all even be good. I'd like for them all to be good, but a dud or two want ruin a franchise or retroactively sour previous films in a franchise. Not for me, that is. Look at James Bond. Fifty years of sequels, and I don't like a large chunk of them, but I love some of them. If they had simply stopped while they were ahead I wouldn't have gotten to see The Spy Who Loved Me, the two Dalton films, Goldeneye, and the Craig era films. So onward I say.

Trevorrow won't be involved with the sequels.

He has stated he is not coming back for sequels.

 

[OcStat]

Ah, that's right.

Another week or so, and it should be at $600 million.

 

[John McGuirk]

For anyone who's interested, the first film is on SyFy right now.

 

[John McGuirk]

Who would be a good director for the next film? Spielberg doesn't want to do it again, unless seeing the success of this film re-sparks his interest in JP directing.

I'd say Gareth Edwards if he wasn't doing Godzilla 2 and Rogue One.

 

[Manofplastic]

just went to see it again, a friend didn't see it yet and i didn't want to leave him all by himself.

anyway, i must say i still like the movie but my perception - offcourse - is a good amount different now.

Things i've noticed after second viewing

- the amount of action in the movie. a bit too much if you ask me.
- i missed the tension of the first JP1 movie. I can watch that time and time again and still get tense when rexy breaks through the fences and is trying to eat lex and tim, and chasing malcolm. same goes for the danger of the raptors.
- i liked the human bond with raptors, bringing them a bit closer, and though i think that has been executed really well, in another sense, i really don't like it anymore because it totally destroyed the paramount and insane danger that the raptors were in the first movie.
- i disliked the ability for i-rex to take use of all his genepool tampering even more
- the i rex got owned quite humiliaatingly when it was eaten by the mosasaur. IMHO, it deserved a more epic finish.
- i much more noticed the CGI effects on Rexy, and i didn't like it
- i see no point on why Masrani and the helicopter had to die/explode/crash. Birds avoid helicopters too for obvious reasons and it's weird that these dactyls would simply kamikaze into a foreing weird inunderstandable thing. I think there could have been numerous ways to terminate the gun,
i think Masrani was a much too usable character to simply kill off like that.
- the dying brachiosaurus looked even worse 2nd time and his wounds even look less lethal. they could have had some deep bite wounds, open legs, dying from a couple of scratches?
- i think there should have been more then 1 raptor survival, and they should have grouped off in the distance instead of just 1 lonely poor little raptor.
- the raptor communication on one level is very cool and storywise a great addition, but it's unrealistic, it is just killing for fun, going on rampage, trying to see how much he can eat, it doesn't know what it is, yet it instantly knows how to communicate with raptors and even get them to act like it wants to.

despite all of that, here are the good points

- still really like the movie
- still really like the way the i-rex was portrayed visually, at cage breach, the camouflage, the ankylo fight, the hamsterball scene, and the bossfight.
- really like that the scene where rexy is let out of it's cage
- like that the park [was] functional
- really like the addition of the old park
- the raptor hunting
- the humourous scenes
- the Ingen villians
- evil Henry Wu
- the evil mad scientist backstory in there
- still really like how JW is able to fix their incorrect dino portrayel by simply putting in that they're not 'natural' becuase they were engineered with foreign DNA, and that if they were natural, they would look and be very different.

also, i was surprised at just how much and big of a crowd still is attending this movie. it's recieved so well, time and time again.

i'm hoping forward for a sequel, which imho should also find a way to tie-in henry wu's character from the first movie all the way to this one, and how or whether he always was or became evil/friends with the devil.

Whoops, Trevorrow will be involved with writing the sequel, but not directing.

http://www.jurassicworld.org/index.php

"Colin and Steven had a meeting with Donna Langley and the goal is for Colin to have a very rough script by August. Colin isn't directing the sequel but he will be very involved just like Spielberg. And if Spielberg doesn't like the script, the studio won't set a date yet. In other words, this won't be like the Furious films. We'll be getting a sequel and it's all happening quickly but the camera won't start rolling until both Donna and Spielberg are happy."

 

[OcStat]

Well that's promising news.

This is how they approached the script of JW. Trevorrow wasn't happy with the original script and Universal moved the film's release date back a whole year so him and Spielberg could rewrite it. If that's how they handle the sequel(s) then they are off to a good start.

Only a matter of time...

 

[galmorzu]

Still hate the part with the Ankylosaur. It's my favorite dino and the poor little guy really tried to put up a fight.

He should have had back up. Wonder how many of his buddies it would have taken to even the odds.

Where could they go from here?
