Jurassic World - Part 5

[TheVileOne]

You say that but then they put an alien and a flying saucer in Indiana Jones.

The Indominus Rex doesn't look like a cephalodpod, though. No more than the other dinosaurs look like frogs.

I don't think it jumps the shark because it has good grounding. Human attention spans, abuse of science and the lure of economic benefit. That straight up dinosaur clones just aren't exciting visitors as much as they had a decade or so ago. They have become the norm. The science in this world has also advanced rapidly and the JW team so readily utilise it. To give the public something brand new, which has never existed up to this point. Something with a sense of threat - which has been eroded based on previous comments about this film. Park visitors routinely take selfies in front of glass enclosures with dinosaurs inches behind them. The mother in the trailer even jokes about the dangers of visiting Jurassic World.

I think l missed something but they don't look too desensitized in the trailer? Maybe if they showed people looking visibly bored, it might be better.

Yeah exactly.

Double post

 

[Victarion]

I don't think the Indy thing works here...what we've been given still looks like a Carnotaurus whereas the saucer brings in heavy SF to compete with the mystical plot devices of the last three movies.

The kids are riding around in those orb bikes on their own in a field among dinosaurs. And there's people paddling up rivers right beside dinosaurs as well. They seem pretty comfortable in their presence.

The park in the film has been around and functioning as a success for 10 years so yeah.

He's referring to the kids not the dinosaurs.

The film makers have to do something different to up the ante. JP1 the park malfunctions. JP2 they bring the park to San Diego. JP3 they go back to an island overrun to rescue a kid. Here, it's a hybrid dinosaur that causes the park to malfunction...thus creating the same morality behind JP1 but with an upped ante. The film makers were looking to which film was best suited to model JW on and thank God they chose JP1. This movie is basically what JP2 should have been (or at least that's my hopes).

 

[Victarion]

I think it'd be interesting if the I-Rex could control some of the other dinosaurs. Like it's a queen, and the others are little drones.

We almost got Dino's with guns so this looks way better.

Yeah, this looks a lot better for JP4 than that idea did. Overall excited for JW.

 

[terry78]

Somewhat off topic, but Pratt was awarded the Hasty Pudding Man of the Year award at Harvard. Hilarity.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

I get what Spielberg was trying to do with The Lost World. The concept is fine. It is basically a modern day retelling of King Kong. It was the execution that was off.

Yeah what we are getting now is a million times better than the original ideas for the fourth film.

I love TLW still. And I also really enjoy all the San Diego stuff on the mainland.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Yeah I don't think TLW is a bad film in the slightest, it's just nowhere near as good as the original.

 

[Loki882]

The problem is that Spielberg tried to go all political with it. I don't have a problem with "environmental" movies in theory, but they're rarely done well. There's usually a lack of subtlety to the message, and usually the "anti-conservationists" are little more than mustache-twirling caricatures. People don't like being preached to in their movies, and TLW delivered it's message with all of the subtlety of a brick to the face.

One of the biggest mistakes that that movie made was trying over and over again to paint Malcolm and co as being in the right when they're actually bunch of hypocritical morons who's actions are CONSTANTLY getting people killed/maimed and making things worse. By contrast most of the mercs, including Roland, don't seem all that bad. And they don't do anything all that bad really. Basically the preachiness of TLW, and the really poor execution of said "message" is why I don't particularly like it.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Malcolm himself is okay. It is the idiots with him that really destroy the movie.

Even worse, JP3 has the exact same problem. It is Grant and a bunch of jerks who deserve to get eaten.

JP1 works in part because we actually like the characters.

TLW could have been two movies, easily. But I like all three JP movies.

I'm with you, I love the JP movies. Always have always will. And I pretty much know I will love JW. There's a few things about JP3 that bother me but still, all good. It's dinosaurs, it's humans and they're interacting. I'm a happy camper t:

Speaking of TLW, here is a great part. Awesome stuff IMO. Love the imagery.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

TLW had some awesome atmosphere. When they're in the long grass, and when they walk across the bones of the dead dinosaur...just awesome.

Eh, he got what he deserved.

Hahaha

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
