Jurassic World

[Vegas Disney Fan]

Something about the look reminds me of Peter Jackson’s King Kong.

I love these cartoons, they’re obviously made for kids and appear cheaply done but I find the stories more intriguing than most the Jurassic movies.

The original JP hasn't aged a day for me. Still a classic and one of my favorite movies ever made.

Solid agree on that one. Out side of a couple effect shots, it still holds up the best of all of them from a visual standpoint. Whenever I watch it, and Grant Ellie get to the island. And just after they see the brachiosaurus. They look out to the distance and Hammond says, welcome, to Jurassic Park. 30yrs later goosebumps everytime. It's one of my favorite movie scenes ever.

Agree, I think the jump scare with the Raptor (in the electrical building) still ranks as one of the best jump scare scenes ever also. JP is still amazing, it’s aged extremely well.

still a classic nearly 32 years later. i wish spielberg would make more movies like this again, but i know age is becoming a factor. when we’re either at the park or hearing about this, everytime pirates is down, i think a tourist has been eaten

And as much as I love the original film, I wonder if they'll ever do a remake of it alone, basing it solely on the Michael Crichton novel... which is straight-up HORROR.

They should give it the Westworld treatment. Big budget premium TV show aimed at adults. There's plenty of fertile ground that could be expanded upon in the novels to explain the backstory. A lot had to have happened for a long time to get to the point we see the Park. Beef up the genetics arms race going on between Ingen and the other company. Corporate espionage angle. The insane hubris of Hammond wanting to make the theme park after plenty of missteps along the way. There'd be a lot there a good writer could explore that could lead into new darker adaptions of the events of the novels. It's all an escalation along a path where one things they have noble intentions but keeps ignoring all the signs its a bad idea.

I have no expectations but I will see it.

I hate how far these have strayed from their original “realistic” dinosaurs, every sequel seems to push the villain dinosaur more into science fiction monster rather than a modified dinosaur.

That trailer looked very promising until the Rancor from Star Wars showed up, that lost me.

I think the quote about "bigger, scarier, cooler" dino's in Jurassic World was really meta commentary on the franchise. Unfortunately I think the audiences have demanded them, and the filmmakers provided.

It's a switch off your brain and enjoy the pretty scenery and dinosaurs chasing people film. Your ability to do so will determine how much entertainment you have. It was alright to decent. It did what the label on the tin said. I was entertained but not wowed.

I suspect it'll be a massive hit this summer. I saw it in a crowded theatre and the younger people certainly enjoyed it. One kid stood up and cheered at something towards the end of the film. Some of them clapped at the end.

I would liken it to Alien Romulus. It's fine, but we've seen it all before, but if you haven't seen it all before, you'll probably enjoy it a lot more.

Hopefully, it's a palate cleanser for the series from whatever happened in the previous couple of terrible films.

F1 is a far more entertaining summer blockbuster this year, but people wrongly think they need to know F1, and so are hesitant. Everyone understands Dinosaurs. Monster goes roar and snaps mouth.

Also, movie takes place on Pandora. Wierd.

Sounds about right, every review I’ve seen, from professional critic to YouTube critic, has absolutely trashed it… and the RT audience score is 72%, textbook definition of turn off your brain and just enjoy the flashy lights popcorn flick.

That’s been the case with all the Jurassic sequels, it’s interesting how a bad movie can still be enjoyable... for a while. I really liked Jurassic World the first time I watched it but after a few viewings the spectacle aspect was lost and it became unwatchable. The original Jurassic Park is still the only rewatchable movie in the series for me.

romulus was a lot more entertaining than i thought it would be, tbh. watching rebirth later this week.

So I saw Jurassic World: Rebirth on Friday. I would agree with @Screamface. You can't think to much into the plot. There's several events that happen early on that just seem highly illogical. Overall though it was a fun popcorn flick. The cast had good chemistry, the effects were good. The dino's looked great,

Spoiler

Even if the D-Rex was extremely derpy.

The critics always had a hate for this franchise, which is why people should...you know...stop listening to them when going to see a movie

finally got around to watching it. nothing you haven’t seen before but it was entertaining.
