Oh god, I HOPE that Best Buy footage doesn't become widespread. They've done an amazing job hiding that aspect of the I-Rex. That scene looks nuts.

(I totally caved and watched it)

"What're their names?"
*shows Blue* "Here, Charlie", *shows Blue again* "Here's Delta", *shows Blue once more* "and this one's called Blue" *nailed it*

lol

Love how they use the one with THE most distinctive pattern (I guess Charlie stands out, too) in each shot.

The film might be great, or average, or crap, but I can't remember the last time I've been looking forward to something as much as this.

In the last few weeks, I've read the books, watched a bunch of old making of clips for Jurassic Park, hell - I've even watched the Lost World.

Hey now. TLW does better for dinos than JW's own toy line. I can never tire of seeing some of the best looking dinos in film despite the actual film losing its hold on me.

But "not-Blue" raptors are a disgrace.

Edit: can someone PLEASE edit that raptor video to him only saying Blue?

Love how he masks his smell. I had been curious about that, since it was obvious the I-Rex would have smelled him.

This posted yet? Early Buzz: Is ‘Jurassic World’ Finally a Worthy Sequel to ‘Jurassic Park’?

In addition, we received an e-mail from Twitter user and Jurassic Park fan @ChrisLikesDinos who gives us a secondhand reaction from some of this friends who attended the premiere in Paris. Out of the four friends he speaks of, three of them loved it. The fourth one, who wasn’t a fan of anything regarding this project since it was announced, hated it. Do with that information what you will. Chris says:

“From what I understand, the movie certainly is very action heavy after the first 45min (for better or worse) but has a ton of charm, and is incredibly well put together. There aren’t any major surprises for those who followed the production closely, but again, 3 out of the 4 praised it as the best JP sequel by far.

I also occasionally chat with someone who does reviews/articles for [redacted] – that person dropped me an email out of nowhere saying the film was “very good”, so that’s a plus!”

Another reader who runs the @JurassicQuotes Twitter sent this our way too:

I’ve heard good things on Twitter from the premiere in Paris. Although, one of my friends roommate got a chance to view the movie a few days ago. He said it was on par with JP3.

I'll write "We'll see".

Or I'll just make the OT part Rottenwatch. That should liven it up with decent conversation beyond the CGI.

We'll see.

Sounds about right.

That shitty? Thats sad.

Except so far it's getting mostly praise.

 

[Anton Sugar]

It's like he tried to ignore the general gist of the article.

EDIT: I didn't post the Twitter impressions from that article, but they were mostly positive. Could be selective choosing, though.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Still betting on it being fresh.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Soundtrack previews for the whole album are up!

 

[Calcium]

Soundtrack previews for the whole album are up!

Gimme, gimme, gimme!

 

[brandonh83]

Still betting on it being fresh.

If it's fresh it's going to be like 60%.

It's also probably not a good idea to dwell on the RT score, unless it's overwhelmingly negative or overwhelmingly positive. I find that middle ground reviews are really subjective. I usually gauge it something like this:

80-100%: probably great
60-79%: probably good if not great based on your tastes
40-59%: slightly worrisome
20-39%: okay it probably sucks
0-19%: an Uwe Boll production

edit: OH GOD YES MORE SOUNDTRACK OUTTA NOWHERE

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Except so far it's getting mostly praise.

On par with JP3 sounds for me like its crap.

But then again, I seem like I am the only one who dislikes this disaster of a movie here in this topic.

Pre-ordering....

 

[GAMEPROFF]

This is actually the first time in my whole live that I hear people speaking positv about JP3.
Its really kinda suprising and I am dead serious while posting this.

 

[brandonh83]

I mean, it makes sense. You're convinced it's a disaster yet there's been what like maybe 2-3 people who didn't like it out of these impressions while the rest seem very positive, so naturally you latch on to the one you think you'll agree with. That's fair to you I guess, but I feel sorry for people with their minds made up. That must really suck.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

You can listen to 'The Park is Closed' and 'Nine to Survival Job' in full here.

Who here is being positive about JP3? I'm pretty sure the consensus around here is that it's not a worthy sequel.

You rock, man. Thanks!

Holy fucking wow. Nine to Survival is great.

Because after years of dust settling, it's easy to find a decent film in there in comparison to The Lost World which had the opposite effect on me.

 

[Calcium]

Giacchino is a damn wizard. This is great stuff.

 

[brandonh83]

....oh my god. That theme in World Turns in Nine to Survival Job is like

I don't know. Difficulty finishing statement.

From there, the score was theirs to make their own. “He wanted a theme for the film that had soul, that felt reflective, that felt emotional,” Giacchino says of Trevorrow’s vision, which eventually resulted in a new theme for Jurassic World and for the family, among others. “It didn’t need to be bombastic, it didn’t need to be this huge thing. But he just wanted to feel something, something that could be very simple because we all knew that when the dinosaurs start going crazy we’re going to have plenty of room to go nuts with crazy action music.”

God bless these people. This new theme is incredible.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Who here is being positive about JP3? I'm pretty sure the consensus around here is that it's not a worthy sequel.

There was a discussion here a couple of days ago and people said that JP 3 is better than Lost World - which was mostly agreed to. Was a little bit suprised then, too.

Eh, no reason to jump into defence mode for your favourite upcoming movie (nothing wrong with this, I do the same with Marvel movies), but I just dont understand why beeing "on par with JP3" is now something that is positiv and that should make me excited for Jurassic World.
It wasnt meant offensive, but since the Fry.jpg was already posted...

While saying this, I am excited as hell for JW and I think it will be a far better Sequel.

 

[Calcium]

Track number 16....

Our Rex Is Bigger Than Yours.

Hell yeah!

JP3 could very well be better than The Lost World, but that wouldn't necessarily make it a good movie. Saying something is better than The Lost World is hardly a compliment.

You just said it was a disaster, man. Haha.

 

[Jawmuncher]

The soundtrack is on amazon for 12.99 CD.

Going to wait and see if they add the buy it and get free MP3s. Looks like it hasn't been up long.

Sorry, who here has said this? It was probably as recently as the last page or two where we talked about how crummy TLW and JP3 were.

Didn't mean to come off that way. Also not sure that it was meant to imply something positive about it being on par with JP3.

He said JP3 was a disaster.

 

[brandonh83]

The Park is Closed is fucking slaughtering me.

 

[Jawmuncher]

So the park is closed should be the credits right?

 

[brandonh83]

So the park is closed should be the credits right?

It's likely the very last part before credits. Jurassic World Suite will likely be the actual credits.

 

[Calcium]

It'd make sense. Could just be the ending with Jurassic World Suite playing during the credits, though.

Edit: Beaten. Damn you, brandonh83.

Yeah you're probably right.

If i'm not able to see this at opening it's going to be such a challenge waiting until I get back on the 28th.

 

[brandonh83]

These two new tracks were somehow just as good as World Turns. If the entire score is this pleasing and memorable I will personally consider this to be Giacchino's masterpiece even though it's not attached to a Pixar movie.

I already think Giacchino knocked it out of the park. There is no way the other tracks aren't on the same level. This dude knows what he is doing and has completely honored John Williams and the franchise.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Two tracks sound great, so far.

Well, I mean:

.@colintrevorrow has hit a grand slam.

Last 20 minutes of the movie are cinematic bliss.

The movie is amazing ! beyond everything. Thx

JURASSIC WORLD is great & fun !!!

#JurassicWorld Nailed It!

a more than worthy sequel ������ back to My childhood

definitely just behind the 1st one

The JP3 comment is just one of many.

He's doing exactly what he does when he does scores for films with pre-existing themes. He doesn't just ape them or lean on them for support. He works them into his own stuff, which keeps it original yet reflective. This is why I was pulling for him to score this since day one, so fucking vindication mother fuckers.

 

[Toa TAK]

This is going to be an amazing soundtrack.

I love the new theme.

 

[brandonh83]

I love the new theme.

I loved it when I heard it in Jurassic World Turns, but didn't know it was going to be the new theme of the movie. Hearing it in other, more sweeping representations in other tracks as well as Trevorrow insisting that the movie have its own new memorable theme with soul tells me that they're on the page they need to be.

Also if you pay attention the last three notes of the new theme is part of one of the original themes, it doesn't really have a designation as John did two main themes for the original, but it's the slower "holy shit dinosaurs" theme. This way Giacchino can weave it in and out of that original theme.

My thoughts exactly. Unless, "As the Jurassic World Turns" is it, I'm hoping the new theme has its own track, like Williams did for JP and TLW.

I really want this movie to be good. We've been waiting for years.

 

[brandonh83]

That's probably it but I expect it throughout the score as well. That sounds like the dedicated track though.

Two new tracks from end credits.

"The Park Is Closed" goes from original theme into JW theme beautifully, all of the goosebumps. Preordering this on iTunes tomorrow.

I'm not moved by much music but emotions swell within me when I listen to Giacchinos stuff.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

You don't like the original theme?

Of course I do. It's the integration (specially as the ending of the track) that I'm not particularly fond of.

Ok, listened to the new tracks like 10 times each. I think that is enough for today.
