Jurassic World - Part 5

[AnneFan]

Define realistic please?

Indeed. The Jurassic Park clones aren't perfect dinosaurs from back in the day, per se. The scientists filled in the genetic code gaps with other creatures, etc. So that's more than enough reason and suspension of disbelief for me why some don't have feathers or look exactly like scientists now think.

 

[Doc Ock]

Feathers.

I don't know this bothers people, dinosaurs are awesome with or without feathers.

Yeah.

Especially without!

I got you LiLo...here you go Darth:

Feathers.

This is America. My raptors are featherless and my T-Rex is the king of the jungle.

Exactly.

I wouldn't mind a really good next gen Jurassic Park game.

Just a thought.

 

[Dave McFly]

god have not played a JP game since the Genesis days

 

[Thundercrack85]

I would like a game with survival elements. First person. You get weapons, but you – at first anyway – can only kill some dinosaurs, like say raptors. T. Rex, **** out of luck.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Something like the King Kong game that came out a few years back would be pretty cool.

Exactly...easy to explain the fact that they used frog DNA to fill in the gaps...thus the skin and no feathers.

But shouldn't they go ribbit ribbit ribbit?

I'd love an Alien: Isolation-type game. Especially if you're being hunted by raptors a good majority of the time.

You could play as one of Isla Nublar's original scientists, and the game would start right before all hell broke loose.

Sadly they're not even really raptors.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Sadly they're not even really raptors.

They are the only raptors in my house.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I think you just made my mind up...I'll watch it as well!

We should both post mini reviews of our latest viewing in the JP thread on Christmas Eve.

I plan on having a marathon this thanksgiving weekend of the trilogy

I know some are sitting here trashing the sequels, or just rating them.mobviously the original is the best and I love it. But I love the whole trilogy.mexcited to rewatch them all again t:

Bump the thread when you finish them.

I thought The Lost World was pretty good up until the point they go to the city. JP3 loses the magic IMO but is still an entertaining enough action adventure.

I'm up for it.

There was a hint at Lego Jurassic Park in Lego Batman 3, by the way.

 

[WorthyStevens]

I watched all three last night. JP holds up incredibly well. Lost World is ok, but I don't care for how incredibly stupid some of those characters were. III was just way too rushed, and the less said of Airplane Raptorhead, the better.

The same scars from the raptor attack from Jurassic Park 1 I see.

From Colin Trevorrow's comments he says:

This new creation is what gave me a reason to tell another Jurassic Park story. We have the most awe-inspiring creatures to ever walk the Earth right in front of us, but for some reason that’s not enough. We’re always hungry for the next thing, and those who profit from it are always looking to feed that hunger. The focus groups want something bigger than a T-Rex. And that’s what they get.

I thought it would be cool if we had this massive animal and the park used one of our most fearsome modern predators as food. There could be a whole other facility where they used shark DNA to mass-produce them to feed the bigger beast. It’s a bonkers idea, but I’m comfortable going to Crazytown, because I used to live there when I was a kid.

Owen’s relationship with the raptors is complicated. They aren’t friends. These animals are nasty and dangerous and they’ll bite your head off if you make the wrong move. But there are men and women out there today who have forged tenuous connections with dangerous predators. That’s interesting territory to me.

Trevorrow was asked if we’ll be seeing the iconic T-Rex in the film, to which he replied: “You bet your ass you will."

He's saying all the right things. I like what he says about the raptors still being animals and not completely domesticated. And very interesting that they grow sharks like dinosaurs to feed the Mosasaurus.

 

[Broseph44]

Yeah I posted about that interview a few days ago, but he definitely is saying the right things and seems to get it. I have all the confidence in him.

 

[Iceman]

Yep great responses.

Are we expecting the Mosasaurus to have much plot relevance given that it's confined to water and there are plenty of land-based terrors ready to drive the plot? It looks like it is just a big Sea World style attraction at the park although like someone mentioned before, it could attack/destroy the sky-train route.

 

[AnneFan]

What if this time the power doesn't go out, but surges. The skytrain speeds up and comes of the rails, falling into the Mosasaurus area.

 

[Iceman]

Haha, that's an awesome way of making the Mosasaurus much more relevant.
