It will not win any Oscars but it looks like a damn fun movie and a true successor we pretty much deserved.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Okay if (and I understand it's an if right now) they actually make it so that Darth Dinosaur can actually use its genetic force powers to influence and command all other prehistoric animals somehow, then this will not only surpass Serial Killer Spino and Genius Planner Raptors from III; it'll surpass the orca from Orca purposefully blowing up a town with a gas explosion out of revenge; it'll surpass the latter Jaws movie's implications that the giant killer sharks have a psychic/magical communication network that they use to get revenge for their brethren by following a specific family around the world and fucking with them with traps and shit.

 

[Manu]

Seemingly not.

Though, some of the audience seems to have forgotten as well... *looks around thread*

You don't get to decide what people liked about the other movies.

 

[atr0cious]

That's obviously what they're doing. How much of the story, aside from it having a theme park setting, was in the other movies?

It doesn't just have to be in Jurassic Park movies for it to be old hat. Creating something new that fucks you up is an old as hell concept. The original was great because the dinos had little do with the chaos, it was all because of man. Unless we found out the IRex was hired by Nedry's old group to take down the park, this just feels like a bog standard disaster flick, or King Kong mixed with JP3.

 

[Dysun]

Looks like shit, setting expectations at 'Michael Bay Transformers spectacle' level

[flkraven]

I'm worried that there isn't going to be very many dark scenes in this film. My favorite part in JP movies is when it's dark, rainy, and people are alone trying to survive. It's so tense seeing them in that environment, trying to avoid predators.

 

[Razmos]

I really like the way the trees are blown back by the explosion.

 

[Blablurn]

i love that u can see the rex on the camera (right side) of the phone. nice detail.

I'm just saying that the footage I've seen from this doesn't look like the same thing I've seen in the other movies. In fact some people are right here criticizing that it doesn't look like "Jurassic Park."

 

[SJRB]

I'm totally imagining a Total Recall-esque scene with the I-Rex janking out the tracking device through its nose.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Nice trailer. Im in.

trex blowjobs are best blowjobs

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

really good trailer, now I might see it the weekend it comes out, instead of half off tuesday.

...correct!

 

[marrec]

You don't get to decide what people liked about the other movies.

I'm specifically referring to people implying that the wonder and greatness of the first film was simply due to having Dinosaurs on screen.

There was a lot more to like about Jurassic Park than good animatronics and decent CGI.

This movie seems to be a completely different animal, lampshaded by the line in the trailer about the GMO Dinosaur.

"Audiences need CRAZY SHIT these days"

 

[MMarston]

Man, for something that's supposed to be a hybrid between a Giganotasaurus and a Carnataurus, I just keep seeing an oversized Allosaurus for some reason.

 

[atr0cious]

Well technically, it literally doesn't just because of the color grade, so those claims have merit. And as I just pointed out, the movie has a very different tone, although similar, where the first 3 focused on man's inherent ability to fuck himself over in even the most dire situations for self, this just feels more like a man's hubris catch all in the form of Frankenstein. Visually it's been compared to Bay and others because it has no identity of its own.

 

[Ragnarok]

I predict that even when it's supposed to be dark and tense everything will be over lit and fake in that modern Hollywood way that all big budget movies are nowadays. What a bunch of shit.

 

[Anton Sugar]

The original was great because the dinos had little do with the chaos, it was all because of man.

The I-Rex was literally created by man, fueled by man's desire for more (money, spectacle, whatever).

Well technically, it literally doesn't just because of the color grade, so those claims have merit...Visually it's been compared to Bay and others because it has no identity of its own.

More saturated and stylized color grades started with JP2 (for worse, IMO). JP1 is the only movie to have a very natural, muted grade.

Eh, you can't deny the dinosaurs were a big part of it, if not the biggest.

Of course it's not just the dinosaurs, otherwise the sequels would be just as good and they're not.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Can they be that dumb though? Is that even possible?

I know the movie doesn't look good, but man, I don't think it'll go that dumb. You never know though.

I'm pretty sure most of this big action stuff is the middle section of the movie, and that it gets more like what you're describing after the island security force is taken out.

I think the idea is to show how formidable and scary it is before thrusting the main characters into these scenarios.

 

[Prez]

Looks like shit :/

 

[WillyFive]

Huh, the scenes and CGI actually look better with the Tumblr over-saturation/over-contrast. The first gif even looks like the Spielberg art style from his newer movies.

Yeah exactly. The movies aesthetic has been Michael bay'd , ugh.

 

[-griffy-]

Got love movie side of GAF talk, calls films with shitty dialogue and acting while talk about how awesome Furious 7 is, a film that is masterpiece of shitty dialogue and acting with extra sprinkle of shit plot. That film is trying be serious so don't use the shitty excuse it not trying be a serious film

eh still not sure on this but I'm still baffled some people don't understand the whole public getting bored of dinosaurs so they create a new attraction plot

I don't think any of the recent Fast & Furious films are trying to be serious. I think they are completely self aware and know exactly what they are doing. The characters in the films may be taking the events seriously, but that doesn't mean the films don't realize they are gigantic, insane action movies with action scenes that defy logic and the laws of physics.

 

[Grym]

the lead being some sort of Raptor Whisperer or Raptor Tamer is fucking stupid to me. They lost me right away with that.

I dunno. It could be a dumb-fun kinda action-y movie. But I'm not hyped. It doesn't appear to capture whatever made JP such a memorable movie for me.

 

[brandonh83]

Visually it's been compared to Bay and others because it has no identity of its own.

Guns and explosions obviously means it's Michael Bay. It looks nothing whatsoever like a Michael Bay movie. If this looked like a Bay movie I would be out.

 

[Badosh]

looks dumb but dumb fun, so I'm in.

Not sure how i feel about the GMO-Dino though.

These kids do not inspire confidence. I mean, kid actors usually aren't very good, but at least the ones in the original were decent. Some of the reaction shots I've seen from these new kids though. Man...

 

[Anton Sugar]

Huh, the scenes and CGI actually look better with the Tumblr over-saturation/over-contrast.

It's the sharpening, mostly. CG looks bad on Youtube because of compression, among other things.

Once the high quality Quicktime trailer is out, it'll look better, as well.

I think the CG looks fine--even great, in some shots. Dinosaur animations, overall, look fantastic, as well.

 

[brandonh83]

Not seeing how it's better or worse than Tim or Lex. Or especially Kelly. Fuck. They look fine to me. Ty Simpkins has been good in everything I've seen him in. Plucking out actor expressions in trailer shots can usually yield this sort of thing due to lack of context, scenario and atmosphere.

If we saw this before seeing the movie how much confidence would it inspire?

 

[Mr.Pig]

That was ridiculous.
Hopefully, it will be amusing.

 

[atr0cious]

The I-Rex was literally created by man, fueled by man's desire for more (money, spectacle, whatever).

It's more than that. JP1 is about a man's hubris to build an illegal park. Nedry's group in turn uses this shitty situation to do their dirty work. JP2 has Vince Vaughan and crew being terrible despite being in a terrible area. JP3 is a fever dream about rich people stealing raptors eggs. All shitty situations compounded by even shittier planning. JWorld just seems like, Occam's Razor the movie.

 

[oatmeal]

Looks like another Jurassic sequel. Doesn't look like Jurassic Park though.

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

I just realised this is being finished in 4k. Should look pretty amazing once the first 4K discs hit!

 

[strafer]

But sometimes you can just kind of tell. Not saying they're going to be terrible, but they just don't inspire confidense. My reply wasn't in reference to that shot you quoted in particular though.

 

[marrec]

C. Pratt's a hater whisperer.

He's taming the haters.

 

[brandonh83]

I edited with a still from the original with Joseph Mazzello. But okay, your feelings and opinion is fine. I'm just saying I don't see how they're better or worse personally.

 

[Various Artists]

Don't know if anyone mentioned it already but I like that the scientist from one is back.

 

[Anton Sugar]

I think these are the Rex's feet behind Claire:

Thank you, sir. Looks great--animation is excellent and that closeup of the raptor is fantastic. Some of the CG looks dodgy (still not sure about those herd scenes) but the raptors have been given a lot of care.

 

[Eggbok]

Fake edit: Just realized your avatar is from MoS too lol!

It does look better than the one you qouted earlier though

(I'm messing with you a bit)

 

[brandonh83]

Don't know if anyone mentioned it already but I like that the scientist from one is back.

Yeah, and he comes across just as much of a "we can do THIS now" moron as he does in the original.

It does look better than the one you qouted earlier though

Regarding actor expression, I really have to disagree.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

I'll watch it just for the entertainment, but it looks like it's directed by Michael Bay. wtf.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Ok, this is more like it.

Best trailer yet and visual effects are looking great.

 

[Razmos]

I think these are the Rex's feet behind Claire:

.

I'm sure I saw a theory that Claire is leading the T-Rex with the flare, ala Ian Malcolm in the original, leading it to the I-Rex potentially?

Is.. she running in heels though?

 

[SJRB]

Yeah, and he comes across just as much of a "we can do THIS now" moron as he does in the original.

I doubt the "real" Henry Wu would ever agree to genetic manipulation to this extent.

 

[brandonh83]

Holy shit please.

I doubt the "real" Henry Wu would ever agree to genetic manipulation to this extent.

Isn't he exactly like this in the Crichton novel, at least more or less?
