How much is it? I have it on Xbox and got it for like £15 back in 2004. It needs a Steam re-release though honestly even if the devs are no longer around.

There was only a couple EU versions on eBay, but even those were pricey. The NA version is around $70-100 right now :/ Not too many on eBay, either. I should start looking at flea markets, but then again the ones I go to check to see how much they are worth online... Not sure why they just sit on them at a flea market when people expect low prices on things, and just sell online instead :/

With Redbox it's mostly just an illusion. Sure, you get physical discs and whatnot, but the selection is poor compared to Blockbuster and you just browse at an interface. With Blockbuster it was like wandering into a haven full of endless possibilities for entertainment. Really quite wonderful. They had movies, videogames, and at mine even a gumball machine. It moved, motorized of course... but people would walk in there and be able to browse rows and rows of films. The kids would say "mommy should we rent this, daddy should we rent that?" But with Redbox, they stripped away that magic in favor of something that feels more like an illusion. Blockbuster was real, a place where you could browse, and touch. And that's not devoid of merit.

Still no sight of any Jurassic World toys at the Toys R Us and Wal Marts nearby. I am in Ontario, Canada. No other places other than SuperStore to check in my city.
The Lego sets are at TRU now, and one Wal Mart got the Playskool line of JW toys, so I picked up the large Velociraptor, it apparently is the only new raptor that bites and makes sounds.
Anyone in Canada find the main Hasbro line yet?

You're right. You're absolutely right. Hiring you was a mistake, that's obvious. They're over dependent on cgi, I can see that now. Now, the next time is all practical. Creation is an act of sheer will. Next time it'll be flawless.

I bit! Not a MASSIVE spoiler--
are you talking about the woman in the water tank?
EDIT: Didn't notice the
headgear
one of the pack that attacks the mercenary, btw--not a wild raptor. You can see some of the headgear on it now, I think?

Yes.

Nice.
Yeah, if you're interested in keeping all "holy shit" scenes unspoiled, don't watch that. Nothing story spoilery, just an awesome scene.
Kinda crazy if that's going to be on a TV spot though.

About the woman
The woman in the tank is Zara (Katie McGrath), she was assigned to look after Zach and Gray.

Wow just realized we're getting JP score by Giacchino. This might turn out to have some heartfelt, Williams-successor worthy music. Very intrigued despite his Jupiter score being very bland. Still my pick for the future of film music. Lots of time to evolve til he eliminates the Zimmeration movement.

The one who said the movie was "pretty great" overall? I didn't read anymore past that, haha.
Bigger spoiler isIMOall the raptors in the night hunt scenes have headsets on now
Smart to leave it out of earlier trailers so people didn't flip their shit though
Yeah, that's pretty awesome. I had wondered if the
LEGO/toy harnesses were just a LEGO-only thing.
Aaaah, did not know that. Now that makes more sense.

Did I miss the new dino? The shot in the gyro was longer and there was more raptor in the cage (Blue, getting pissy).
I really hate it when certain sounds are misplaced in spots and trailers. The Indominus had a T-Rex roar at the end which I'm pretty certain won't be in actual the movie.

That's what it looks like to me. Nothing new in JP land.
Yup.
Also, brutal TV spot.
That's the first woman to go out in one of these films right?

More concerned why Irex sounded like the regular Trex in that TV spot posted with the spoiler.

Just the marketing team digging through their sound folder. The I-Rex has a pretty distinct roar/sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QN3AVHGT8I
Yeahhh that was really annoying :/ Going to confuse people.
I don't think the average movie goer cares or can tell the difference, really. The sound effects will be right in the film's release anyways.

Holy shit that new TV spot. They really need to stop giving so much away.
Yeah I'm not a fan of movies being too subtle or too spoilery with their trailers. With some movies it's like "well, I just saw the whole movie!" It used to be way worse decades ago, as they would pretty much walk through the movie. At least, that's what classic Disney trailers used to do around the 50s-60s.
I'm pretty sure that JW is still leaving some surprises.

I know there's going to be surprises and seeing stuff in commercials is never on par with seeing the entire sequences play out in context, but flat out showing the girl the pteranodon picks up and dropping her into the Mosasaur tank is way much. Way much. Now I'm not going to be like HOLY SHIT IT DROPPED HER INTO THE FUCKING MOSASAUR TANK DAMMNNN
It's certainly my choice to watch these, but I shouldn't have to worry about spoilers in fucking commercials.

This was in the new TV spot??
Oh damn I just assumed she was a random extra.
Yup, and what a way to go.

Wait nevermind, didn't see the first one posted. I mean she didn't die in the TV spot but y'know... chances are... slim?

I'm glad they're just showing these brief initial shit hitting the fan moments. The meat of the movie will be after all this, at night, with those who remain surviving, dying and hunting imo.

Lazerbox already pointed out the para, but I like that they removed the apatosaur to give us a better look at the trikes, too.

Spoilers are a good thing, it gives you more of a drive to watch it.

How on earth is knowing everything before seeing a movie good? It completely goes against the creativity of writers and the less you're surprised about while watching the first time, the lesser of an impact there is. I don't see how this is refutable.
I'm mainly still posting in this thread because it's where all the news and info is being posted, and I like to see new stuff but I don't want shit like death scenes spelled out for me before I have a chance to react at the theater.
The death scenes in Jurassic Park movies have always been a huge highlight. This can be and has been marketed without going to this extent. Sure you can make assumptions by piecing stuff together, but actually seeing the pteranodon drop her from a great height into the tank and seeing her go into the water is going now take away some of the gravitas that scene would have had.
It's supposedly over two hours long. There's nothing else they can pull from? And we've already gotten several commercials and trailers already. They need to dial it back.
