Terrible movie. Need to put this franchise on ice.

 

[JimmyRustler]

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.

Watching this was like dragging my balls across broken glass from here to Tokyo.

1. it matters a lot, because it's not "one place", it's a giant area around the equator and 99% of what's dangerous is on land, they were traveling away from the area as their starting point was barbados, without the mutant spinos with modified behaviour the chance was 0%.

3. They weren't tranqualizers, how is it possible you pirated the movie and still missed the conversation about killing a dino being a crime or a sin? It was a neurotoxin and would without a doubt kill smaller dinos.

4. No you aren't right, the water goes quite far and the girl is attacked when still on the wet sand, they move all the way away from that on dry sand a few steps from the fence, behind rocks that weren't there where they landed; there was literally no further to go because the fence is right there.

5. no it does not, it might be the terrible quality cam you pirated, but it's very clear when they move towards it they are heading downwards from where they are; if you are unable to see that perspective I can't help you.

6. There's absolutely death either way, where do you propose they go? They fall down and basically have a river and a forest with who knows what in front of them. They either stay there and wait, and then die because they miss their connection, try to go back to where the raptors are, which wouldn't work anyway because how's the dad going to climb back up? Or they head forward into the unknown and either die or miss their connection as well since the dad was slowing them down.
And lol the author of a story is obviously whoever writes the story, arguing something happens just because they wanted to do "x" is silly, that's literally everything in a story.

7. No it's not impossible, I've mentioned several times now that's in range of similar sized crafts (200nmi), because it is; they'll make it back just fine.

Spoiler: no

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.

If I see anything about a "return to form" after Dominion took a gigantic diarrhea shit on the franchise, I won't be able to take it seriously at all. Seeing mediocre reviews for this is about as surprising as taking a squeeze on the shitter after Taco Bell.

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.

 

[Alcibiades]

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.

Kids nowadays don't know what achievement the first Jurassic Park back in 1993 was because every Marvel movie basically is full of CGI effects today.
Jurassic Park was something special because you saw the first time lifelike Dinosaurs which has never been seen until then. I was a huge Dinosaur fan as a kid so for me it was a revelation.

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.
This Guy (Captain Davy Jones):

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.
