Saw it too now. The best I can say about is that it's better than the last two… It was bad alright. Kinda liked the first 30 minutes but latest from the point where the T-Rex shows up it's a downward slope of stupidity.
Who writes these scripts? I mean, the credits say David Koepp but damn me if this movie wasn't co-written by some idiotic studio executives.

1. Its not about the fucking dinos, its the whole world making this zone illegal that makes it fucking dumb to go there with kids!
3. Why does it matter if they talked about it being a sin???? they should have brought guns!
4 and 5.
Here is the evidence, they are right next to the water! its almost hitting them!
And here is the second evidence. The first dino is behind the hill, then when Scarlett turns her head, it teleports ahead and stands right next to the one right in front of them!
6. She should have inflated the boat away from the fuck t-rex, not dragged it in front of it, the parent shoulf have hid instead of standing in the open!
No one calls movie writers "authors", they are script writers. The author in this case is the person who wrote the book.
7. Jesus christ, ask chat gpt if you dont believe it. Those boats needs extra tanks to cross that much water.

The one with the cartoon dinosaur in the mansion is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. You can at least laugh at The Room. The movie that came after was just as bad, but at that point I had stopped caring. They are really trying to beat the shit out this franchise like what was done to Terminator.
I'm glad Predator is still good.

Saw it in Dolby Cinema last night. Too many characters I think. Worst part of the film was the family. Remove their storyline and characters and it's a much better movie.
EDIT: I did enjoy some parts of it but I can't see myself rewatching anytime soon. It's passable for entertainment.

Koepp appears to be the only writer.
Time to put the franchise on ice. How much further can they take it?
The only idea I have is a complete reboot by remaking the first film, but this time make it a proper adaptation of the novel. This would mean that it would be unsuitable for children, but I say go with the risk. I want to see the horror of Jurassic Park in the novel.

The original Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, or The Matrix, look better than most films today. The abuse of CGI and vivid colors feel artificial, more a videogame than a movie. It takes filmmaking talent and practical effects to elevate the production to those heights.
I think its pretty obvious even for zoomers than those movies just look better, the same way an action movie like Die Hard is more realistic-looking than the Fast and Furious saga.

One movie which is mentioned always when it comes to good CGI is Pirates of the Caribbean, you know the guy with the tentacles on his face (I haven't really watched any of these movies)
But it has good CGI.

1. It being irresponsible to go with kids was acknowledged, as was the fact that the only reason they were attacked was because of the modified spinos, so yes it's very much about the dinos, without the spinos they would've been in capetown without any issues.
3. Why does it matter? Are you serious? It matters because it means the neurotoxin GUNS would murder the shit out of smaller dinos like raptors, guns don't do shit against big dinos either
4. Your "evidence" just agrees with what I said: they aren't on wet sand and they are behind rocks, now post a pic of the girl pushing the gear as the water was at her ankles, it's nowhere near they wind up grabbing the gear; while you're at it post a pic of scarlet taking two steps to get to the fence that was right there, they literally couldn't go any farther.
5. Lol it didn't teleport, it walked, also you can clearly see the terrain going downward from where they are; again if you are unable to see the perspective I can't help you there.
6. Away from the t-rex? Like where exactly? Because there was no space to do that anywhere. Oh I guess you wanted her to drag it off into the forest by herself and then inflate it and push the raft all the way back to the river, all without dying?
Right.
And anyone who writes something is an author of what they wrote, this includes screenplays, articles, documents, anything obviously.
7. Chatgpt? Lol, no thanks, I know these boats have a range of 200nmi, because, well, they do, no matter what the LLM hallucinated and told you.

If you think JP and The Matrix still hold up, you need glasses. Once you notice the shit textures, mismatched lighting, fake motion blur, and in Matrix the frame morphing and Toy Story level materials, you can't unsee them. This thread would have 10 pages discussing Neo's bullet time cape alone (and where is Trinity etc). Don't drown their achievements in hyperbole.
I like how people in this thread sperg out about Snickers and boats but not about the T-Rex and D-Rex changing size in every shot.

No one gives a shit about any of that. That's not why they hold up. I've never heard anyone (at least, unironically) say, "Hey, well, The Matrix is shit because of frame morphing." Only a virgin would say that.

Saw this tonight.
Right off the bat one thing frustrated me a lot with this movie and left me confused the entire time, why did the initial trailer and plot synopsis seem to imply that this lab was before the original Jurassic Park, when the final movie instead implies it was from the World era? ie not the Hammond era InGen, but the Masrani era InGen, it feels like Universal changed their minds at the last minute, yet when they're in the abandoned convenience store I'm seeing more modern Dr Pepper cans and stuff, what was the thought process when the D-Rex seems to be running with the idea that they had trouble successfully cloning a T rex at first, so instead they got this mutant freak? Instead it was created later? Why?
So that pretty much sinks the movie since it has no coherent vision for what is even happening, it took the one idea it had that threatened to be interesting, the idea that there was always this dark secret before the first movie... and pisses that away.

The whole "before Jurassic Park" was my biggest issue with this movie. Thank God it turned out to be just a shameless bait line used in the Trailer and it instead referred to Jurassic World, because it would have otherwise pissed me off to no end.
The retcon was beyond retarded, didn't make any sense whatsoever. That kind of thing is precisely why Hammond bought the whole goddamn Isla Sorna, several times the size of Nublar (a whopping 432.5 square kilometers vs the mere 57 of Nublar). And now we were supposed to believe he also owned yet ANOTHER secret island where he built yet another secret lab? And to do what exactly, as Hammond's InGen wasn't even creating hybrids at the time?
Plus the whole lab design had absolutely nothing to do with the InGen facilities seen in the original Trilogy, and that alone would have been enough to irritate a fan.
D. Rex is implied to be one of the Indominus Rex prototypes, or earlier attempts. This is why is so outlandish looking, because they were trying to create an actual mutant.
Movie is one massive success by the way, this franchise's truly a box office behemoth. I'd like to see what an actual good movie, with excellent word of mouth would be able to achieve.

I liked it. Huge upgrade over the last trilogy. Felt like a proper Jurassic Park movie instead of a generic MCU Hollywood blockbuster.
I enjoyed the elongated Mosasaur sequence. My only complaint is it wasn't menacing like in Jurassic World.
Can we get some Megalodons already?
The Spinosaurus scene was dope but too short and it looked small.
The Xenorex / Rancorex was stupid fun. The final scene felt like an Alien movie which I enjoyed. My daughter kept burying her face in my arm lol.

It wasn't good, but I think it was still way better than Dominion or Fallen Kingdom (not saying saying much, I know).
I'd probably rank them as:
1. Jurassic Park
(100 mile chasm)
2. The Lost World: Jurassic Park
3. Jurassic World
4. Jurassic World: Rebirth
5. Jurassic Park III
(100 mile chasm)
5. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
6. Jurassic World: Dominion

They keep making them because they keep making bank overseas. That's why the plot and dialogue are so rudimentary in these movies - so that they can be easily translated and dubbed over.

I watched it and i didn't like this film at all, worst Jurassic world film of the lot, the story was ridiculous and made no sense, some of the characters were annoying, it was like a hybrid film of other films and franchises including a Disney cartoon one for kids at times, lacking drama tension and any sort of reality portrayed in the world, i won't be watching this ever again.

So my theater experience was great with Rebirth. Rewatches it recently and man it is night and day so much worse watching a second time at home. I just don't care about re watching most of these scenes. Just the raft part holds up, and the spino on beach really.

That's Jurassic World, huge opening with great legs. Wasn't it close to beating Titanic for biggest domestic box office in 2015?
I enjoyed Rebirth, if for nothing other than the music/sound and seeing dinosaurs chase/eat people.
The D-Rex looked like something out of Gears and I feel like they got the scale wrong. It was enormous when it grabbed the helicopter, then when it grabbed the guy and bit his head off it seemed way smaller. Really didn't like the look of it at all, didn't like the look of the Indominus either, but this was just so much worse.

Terrible script.
Nice that they filmed in real locations. Looks very spectacular in some scenes.
But the script was so bad. Especially the dialogue.
Feels like The Creator all over again. But that was a better movie.
I just want a Jurassic Park movie where humans are up in the clouds flying around on saddled pterodactyls.

I don't know what the fuck some of you guys are talking about, the movie was far better than all the other Jurassic World slop, stressing the World part in case anyone gets confused. It seems Hollywood finally starts to realize that when you make movies with characters likeable enough instead of obnoxious girlbosses and annoying douchebags like these dipshits people will at least care a little about what's happening in the movie. Sure, the script wasn't great but Scarlett's character seemed caring and nice just like her coworkers, that family was also pretty likeable and had a small character arc and that's all you need for a decent action movie. You know what was also a breath of fresh air? Not having Disney style slop "humor" every 20 seconds that takes you out of the movie, I can't stress enough how important this is about maintaining some tension in the movie
The movie was enjoyable not because it was that well-written or directed, it wasn't, it was because it didn't make the glaring, annoying goddamn mistakes many modern movies do, it's really not that difficult to make a decent action movie. It was also fucking beautiful with the exception of the CGI that seemed at times just bad. Decent popcorn movie, at least it didn't feel like I wasted my time like the rest of the Jurassic World ones

Jurassic Park was my first "favorite" film. Needless to say I have seen every film in the franchise and enjoyed most of them. 1 and 2 are head and shoulders above the rest but 3 was enjoyable (and also the first one I saw in the theater) and World, despite some stupid story element (using raptors as military assets is an utterly retarded idea) it was a fun roller coaster ride. The last two World movies were just painfully mediocre.
Rebirth is HANDS DOWN the worst film in the franchise. I know every film has children in it but this was by far the most forced inclusion. There was not a single exciting action scene. This was the absolute WORST finale in the entire franchise. As bad as they were at least Dominion and Fallen kingdom had a dinosaur fight to end the film. Do I even need to say anything about the D-Rex?
The rest of the film was soooooooo boring. The only people who get killed off before the finale are characters that get so little development you literally do not care. The Titanosaurus scene went on way too long with so little happening. They tried to recreate the they move in herds vibe from JP1 and utterly failed.
The only scene of the film I genuinely liked was when the dragon killed one of the raptors because it gave us a glimpse of how life on the island goes when there are no humans around. I took it to be a setup for the dragons later to have their own full fledged good action scene but no. They tried to recreate raptors in the kitchen and just like with the titanosaurus, failed. Both scenes absolutely paled in comparison.
The pharmaceutical company guy is clearly not a paragon of selflessness but I think the film made him out to be evil without even showing it. He did not try his hardest to save the teen girl but it is not like he was stomping on her fingers either. Making him the villain of the film felt unearned.
Characters were largely forgettable and do not hold a candle to the pillars of the verse. ScarJo and Mahershala's characters felt like they should have been merged into one person. Acting is fine for the most part but ScarJo almost looked bored. I cannot blame her, she was given hardly anything to work with. That goes double for the rest of the cast.
2/10 crap movie and an embarrassment to the JP franchise.
This scene alone is better than the entirety of Rebirth:
...and Dominion sucked overall.

Not really. But World nearly got beaten by Inside Out 2 last year.
I know you're getting punked in this thread over this post, but I'll bite on the Jurassic Park stuff. I can't stand people that pretend like its visuals are still superior and proceed to mythologize it, even going to such lengths to defend it by saying it can only be appreciated or critiqued on a 35mm projector. There was one such thread on this forum 4-5 years ago and it made my head hurt.
Poor textures, texture warping, no musculature system. I know it was a quantum leap forward...but we need to stop pretending like it hasn't aged. It has...and noticeably.
For every shot in Jurassic Park that is still passable, there is one or two that just don't cut the mustard, plain and simple.
Case in point:

That's the worst scene in the movie when played in HD and it still looks more realistic than a lot of CGI because Spielberg combined practical effects with CGI. Most other scenes look better than 99% of CGI slop because a) Spielberg was smart enough to make most of the scenes night ones b) Again, combination of practical effects and CGI will always be better unless some amazing AI breakthrough happens

Just saw this tonight. Man, why can Hollywood not make a single likeable character anymore? I ideally wanted all of the humans dead this time, except maybe the little girl and her dad. Those two teens were fucking terrible.
Dino parts were ok, I don't like that they made these stupid hybrid dinos. It's not like everybody was already tired of dinosaurs that actually exist, seems unnecessary. This movie universe is as degraded and watered down as the Transformer movies at this point, so I don't see a decent movie in the Jurassic cards again.
I actually liked the Pratt movies better than this one, and that's a low bar.
