Jurassic World SPOILER THREAD | Boy, do I hate being spoiled all the time

Man Pratt gets a little too close for comfort right there. Really need a direct feed though. The CG/animation on Indominus looks fantastic and I like the way Trevorrow naturally captured it.
 
Why is there such a complex security system INSIDE the enclosure? :')

They're still working on the paddock. Pratt is there to check for vulnerabilities, and they probably have a system in place that would allow for workers to safely enter the paddock; there's some kind of force field tech they have going on, as seen in the trailer in the aviary. However Indominus has figured out a way to fuck with them.

Since we know that the I-Rex has camouflage abilities, I was under the impression that it clawed the wall to make it look like it climbed out, and then they realize too late it is still in the enclosure with them.

I can't imagine any other reason why they would be in the enclosure WITH the I-Rex, with no weapons or anything.

Yeah, especially considering how close they get to it when it "reveals" itself, or whatever.

Yeah, like in the first book and movie where they have dividers between the paddocks - spaces for workers to walk around in that are opened one at a time and are extra secure.

I'm guessing she knows they'll open it to give the workers somewhere to escape to.

This is exactly what I'm thinking as well. They see the marks and they think she's climbed over because they can't see her on the cameras.

Seeing that guard fumbling with security near one of the doors with the scratches basically confirmed it.
 
hahahah what the hell :D

He probably doesn't realize what the hell he's done. Pratt was being legit sincere. Guy is super excited about this movie. I love seeing actors or anyone that geek out about what they do. Sure he got a nice paycheck but his excitement has been apparent for a while.

Anyone else think that something happened to the i-rex's gentic engineering? Some accidental extra dosage, or something got mixed up, Chemical X got dumped in, or something of the like, to give it such intellegence and "colour enhancements"? Or do you think it's like the Dilophosaurus when they had no idea the dino had such an ability?

They're doing sequels, so part of me thinks that something's going on. I don't know if it's that but it wouldn't surprise me if maybe Ingen did some tampering, or Wu is in bed with them and all of this was orchestrated so that Ingen could take over somehow. Maybe it doesn't go that far, but that Hoskins guy rubs me the wrong way.

I am pretty sure they will come up with the same "whoops" they had with the sex change frogs from the first movie, perhaps they used a fairly intelligent animal to complete de DNA chain along with something that can change their skin color, that would be the laziest but somewhat effective answer I guess
 
CinemaCon footage description (everyone else on Twitter has been positive, but this is the only write up.) Potential spoilers.

Director Colin Trevorrow brought his bro Chris Pratt out on stage at CinemaCon to reveal an extended version of the latest Jurassic World trailer, which was so full of soldiers and machine guns fired from helicopters I’m starting to think the premise of this movie is to mix Aliens with Jurassic Park and add a helping of Silence of the Lambs (there’s a serial killer dinosaur).

The opening of the footage had a pig running through tall grass, and a guy on a security catwalk yelling “We have an animal on the loose” and leaning over a railing to attempt to catch the pig in a noose. But a raptor leaps in from out of frame, pulling the guy off the catwalk, and he lays on the ground surrounded by hungry raptors.

Cue Chris Pratt! This is the beginning of the trailer scene where he’s standing in front of the raptors, hand outstretched, keeping them at bay. He saves the guy. Why the guy was trying to save a pig, which was clearly intended as food anyway, is beyond me.

The next bit of newish footage was an extended piece of the Indominus Rex escape. Pratt and another dude run through some closing door, chased closely by the dino, who smashes through the door. Pratt hides under a car, the other guy behind one. The dino sniffs around and picks up the car, exposing the hiding guy - who sits there holding his knees until the Indominus eats him whole. It next turns its attention towards Pratt, who thinks quick and cuts the fuel line on the car, dousing himself in gas so the beast can’t smell him.

The footage reveals that Bryce Dallas Howard is playing the stock clueless admin who thinks that they can contain this monster once it has escaped, but it becomes quickly clear that nothing is stopping it, and it also becomes clear that the Indominus is killing other dinos for fun, serial killer style.

There was some other action footage, including a soldier firing on the charging Indominus, which just gulps him right down, and a helicopter opening fire on the jungle below. Also extended: the bit where the pteronadon
picks up the lady in the middle of a shopping area in the park. In this clip the dino drops her into the mosasaur tank, and the mosasaur jumps up and eats them both.
One quick thing in the footage that I liked - a shot of kids in a petting zoo riding baby triceratops. I liked that! I wish there was a way to make a Jurassic Park movie that wasn’t so anti-science, because a world where science allows kids to ride triceratops is a good world.

As for the film - I just don’t know. It is being sold as very action-y, but that could just be because that’s how you sell movies. But that isn’t what I want from a Jurassic Park movie. I want adventure, not gunfights. And I like having dinosaurs that are animals, not mastermind villains. I’m old, though. What do I know? At any rate, I'll wait for the film to see what it is, and whether this marketing has all been as misleading as I hope.

Welp, looks like an image of the T-Rex from Jurassic World finally leaked!

Just kidding. It's actually an image from Dinosaur Island, which I heard was a shitty movie even though it has feathered dinos.
 
Giachino likes to name themes in his scores as puns. Doesn't mean it has something to do with the plot (I remember when the episode 1 OST release spoiled qui gon's death though lol)

Oh yeah I'm familiar with all that, but still, his puns at least usually do reflect something about what's going on.

Okay, how this isn't going to be the best Jurassic Park so far I don't know. But it's gotta be at least as good as Lost World (which again, I've forgiven everything but the gymnastics).

If you don't believe me, let me fucking repeat something:

Star Wars, Avengers, Mad Max, you're all fucked. :p

Could be what plays when they find the dying baby apatosaurus in the trailer? :(

The

neat, hopefully they make that the reason, it would totally make sense

omg!! I totally called this a fucked up idea back then when the trailer got released!! dude, poor
lady used as fish bait

Where we're going, the fish eat you.

Now if only they'd add a mosasaur to Primal Carnage to take out the pteranadons that like to pick up and drop people into the ocean on the docks map...
 
One more shot of the practical head:

Also, I got a hold of a version of the trailer higher quality than the Apple Trailers download...it's looking good.

I'm more excited to find out how the fucking Triforce factors into the film.

Was this shot in 4K? Can we expect a 4K release of most movies going forward?

Chris Pratt had an AMA on Reddit today and mentioned that he head out to go shoot on Jimmy Fallon. Maybe a new clip tonight?

"was so full of soldiers and machine guns fired from helicopters I’m starting to think the premise of this movie is to mix Aliens with Jurassic Park"

Yes. A Dinosaur movie with soldiers that is something I have wanted in the JP universe for ages. TLW dabbled in it, but what we have seen so far hits all the right notes for me.

I love that it's there, and the on-island security team makes sense. I'm excited about it, but if I were a kid, I would be going absolutely bonkers over it. I more or less am still one at heart so bring it.

We've already seen like... all of the soldiers die just in the trailers. I very much doubt the soldiers are going to be in the film for long.

We saw some dudes getting picked off while silently trekking it in the jungle, but it's bigger than that. It probably won't take up too much time, but I love that it's there.

I love that they are there too. But I can see where the complaints are coming from about it being "actionized" and "Michael Bay-ified" due to the action focused trailers.

I think I mentioned it before, but I think that the soldiers are going to important when the I-Rex is first released and they are tracking it down, and it's that which causes the rest of the dinosaurs to escape and all the soldiers to be killed, and the rest of the film will be more like the original film.
 
I just think that this notion that because there's guns and explosions that it's Michael Bay is silly as hell. But your analysis sounds on point. I think Masrani's military led by Fisk will try and take it out around the middle of the movie, but the first and third acts probably won't deal with that sort of thing.

The soldier thing could be worse. Imagine if all those guys arriving at the end of Jurassic Park 3 actually did something. Now that has potential to be Bay-like.

Agreed. I don't imagine the soldier bits lasting long at all.

But the description of the sizzle reel at CinemaCon has me psyched. Please let this be a good JP movie. It's been too damn long.
 
Thing is, I think the association between action and Michael Bay has gotten way too haphazard and, well, stupid. It's detrimental toward other action films to just write them off as "Michael Bay." I get that it's a more general label, but it's still dumb. The reason people make fun of Bay's action is because that's his shtick; filming explosions like he's a porn director and every explosion is an orgasm, in addition to his really over the top cinematography and editing of action.

Having guns and explosions in a movie doesn't make it "Michael Bay." Bay has his own brand of it that works for the types of things he makes, but these days you can show an explosion in a trailer and people scream "Michael Bay!" I'm all for fun jabs and digs or whatever and I'm a known dissenter of Bay myself, but people seem to think that big action = Michael Bay when a) Bay didn't invent action scenes in movies and b) I think this looks a bit closer to the likes of Cameron's style.

And no, I'm not comparing this action to Cameron's, but looking at the actual shots as presented to me, it looks closer to the style/quality of the action you find in Cameron's stuff than Bay's. The shots are very steady and coherent, for starters, and I don't think Trevorrow is going to pause the action for Orci and Kurtzmann "jokes." Even that shot in the teaser with Bryce with the flare and the opening blast doors immediately gave me a 90's action vibe, which is like the polar fucking opposite of what Bay does.
