I really wanted to love it but I found it to be just OK in the end. I liked Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard but never really connected with the kids and found the story pretty incoherent. The dinosaurs' actions were pretty incomprehensible at times too. Hopefully I'll enjoy it more next time I watch it.
I wonder what movie this was?

Imax, its great.
Heh
BoxOffice Mojo numbars:
For some reason they never tact on Thursday's number to the Thursday charts, but it's reflected in the JW totals above. Still, over $200 in just 2 days is niiiiiiceeee
(I know there's a whole topic on this too, but I just wanted to touch on it here with how well it did^^)

Decided to go for a second viewing Wednesday or Thursday in IMAX again. All IMAX screens and DBox enabled theaters have the film scheduled towards the end of this month, so I figured I might see it again in IMAX and give DBOX a go as well. Really liked it when I got out of the theater opening night, but I haven't been able to get it out of my head since haha.
Haven't seen a film in DBOX since The Amazing Spider-Man 2 so would be nice to do so again. Anybody seen the film in a DBOX-enabled theater?

2d (or perhaps IMax). Saw it in Real3d and the 3d was minimal and not used to good effect.
As for the movie itself, I thought it was quite good and was impressed they didn't hold back on the gore (for a PG-13), but it wasn't gratuitous either (if you have younger family members). 7/10.
When they really get to stretch their legs in
the LOLbike scene
Big f'ing danger time sign every time they were on screen. They move so fast.

Movie was a fucking blast. Loved every minute of it.
I don't really remember the first three in the series but I have an itching to go see this just because of nostalgia. The majority of this being GCI is like a sore thumb, I know it's there but I don't know if I want to pay attention to it. It's either this or Avengers, help me decide quick before tonight (4 hours or so). I really have no basis toward either franchise, I just want to see a good movie and JW has goddamn dinosaurs!!
The Rotten rating doesn't bother me much as it'll be pretty a toss up whether you'll like it or not but I'll take them all into consideration.

It's holding strong onto that 70%
71%* so i have to go
Yeah man, why Claire wasn't a dual gun wielding raptor killer is beyond me. So sexist.

I haven't seen it but a few posts above said 3D was used minimally and didn't add much to the movie itself. try for IMAX if you go 2D

Cant wait for it, perhaps a movie that should have been in HFR as well.

Out of ten?
Trying to go in cold so I'm not reading the thread, but can someone tell me how this compares in terms of intensity to part 3? My son loved parts 1 and 2, but the beginning of part 3 was a bit too much for him with the plane and everyone dying. He's excited about this one because Starlord is in it, but I don't want a repeat of part 3.
I'd say in terms of intensity it's closer to 3 than 1&2. There's a decent amount of chomping going on.
I think this one ups the intensity a bit with a few of the deaths.

I just don't understand why we need to have shitheel kids. The kids in the first movie were fine, they didn't need a

"redemption from being a stereotypical teenager" arc.
Also.
InGen storyline and Kingpin are entirely unnecessary and the movie would have been considerably better without a cheesy evil humans subplot.

Good. Hope we get a better script for the next one!

Agreed. I really liked the kids in the original. Found it hard to like them in JW, especially the older one.
Thanks! Guess I will be holding off for now...
I think the thing about 3 was that it all happened really fast one after another in the beginning when they first landed on the island.

Liked the kids a lot. Maybe I can relate to family issues bearing on the mind when you're supposed to be having fun.
I actually dug the duo in this film. Mainly because I can kinda relate with my own younger brother.

After the first hour, i really really wanted to hate this movie, but after that became awesome and didn't stop. Not as good as JP1, better than 2 and 3.
I don't think there can be any movie made in the franchise that will ever "be better than Jurassic Park". The original just has too much grandeur and nostalgia (deserved) around it along with being the first of its kind that I don't think anyone could get around even if they do make a critically "amazing" JP film in the future.

Seems like a movie made by corporate
It hit every cliche check box (
and nostalgia factor. Must be as easy script to write
It didn't do anything for me
What are the two famous dinosaurs in the franchise?
Edit: I did enjoy all the human deaths
line in movie which seems the director poking fun of

Yes and this movie didn't try to be better. People worry too much about comparing. It's not a remake or something and did its own thing.

I would have rather spent more time with Owen and Claire than the kids. Their only purpose was to show the change in Claire's character from the start of the film to the end.

This movie was easily the most "monster movie" of the Jurassic Park films, and that's even beyond the use of the Indominus.
I liked it for what it was--a dumb monster movie, better than TLW or JPIII, sure, but I hope they try at least a little to avoid sequel escalation in the inevitable next one and tone down the explosion filled monstrousness.
The pterosaur attack was nuts, the velociraptors are at their most destructive, the mosasaurus functions like little more than a monstrous garbage bin, and the T.rex does nothing but show up to kill another dinosaur in a fight scene that would make JPIII blush. The finale with the melee a trois between Indominus, the T.rex, and the raptor, plus the final appearance of the mosasaur, was just absurd nonsense. Exciting nonsense, but it felt more like a bunch of toys duking it out in a playset than an actual confrontation between animals.

And I still can't get over the assistant lady's death scene. That was just unnecessarily drawn out, brutal, and cruel for such a neutral minor character.

It feels like a remake to me with fresh coat of paint. It followed the story beat of the first
kids get attack by mutated dinosaur = trex scene. Even when they were tracking the kids to the waterfall = is pulled from the first when they found out sam neil got the kids out. Final scene of going in doors felt like the climax of the first

It wasn't my only complaint. The kids in JP actually felt crucial to the film. Looking back it wouldn't have been as good without them, I didn't feel that with JW.
No need to get funny because I didn't enjoy the film as much as you did. I wanted to love it.
