Really- it all looks like a pretty cool show - isn't the same as feeding other large predators in captivity like Killer Whales?

People aren't really as predisposed to hate/fear killer whales, which is one reason they are used in such shows. They also aren't seen as man-eaters or predators as sharks, which people do fear/hate and get their own week on TV, and this thing eats sharks (and people). I think people might be thrilled, to be sure, I just don't think they would react like they do to a dolphin show.

This is ignoring the inherent ethical problem of forcing sea creatures to do shows for our amusement in the first place.

Maybe Killer Whales did use to have a bad rep, despite never attackig people (same as wolves really), now its the opposite

- also thinking the clip is pretty much the same show as is done with big crocs on farms - plenty popular.

The ethical debate about who we treat animals - including eating them is something very different.............

Lastly we don;t know the mosaur does eat people yet - its likely but not definate

JP is my fav movie of all time.

This trailer left me cold.

Yeah, I know. And after they spared no expense.

Concern 1 = The CGI doesn't look much of an improvement on the original

Concern 2 = It's the whole park thing again. At least 2 and 3 tried something a bit different.

Concern 3 = Collaborating with Velociraptors

I win

On 3, I dont think it is that, I think the raptors are too busy running from super dino to care about him.

They care enough to know they need to stay ahead of the humie on the bike and the humie knows no one going to dissuade the critter chasing them to not sample a earthling

Concern 4 = No Sam Neil. Everyone knows that putting Sam Neil in your Jurassic Park movie improves it by 43%.

If anything, this just goes to show how GOOD JP1 was, not just the plot, but the CGI. It still holds up 20 years later.

Ain't that the truth.

JP was a masterpiece and puts many movies today to shame.

Well the original was a non-working park with just a handful of employees, researchers, and two kids for little good reason. This one is a fully functioning and populated amusement center. You know, like Jaws 3.

Oh, well, that's ok then. We're in the clear.

Should have left at ONE MOVIE

Probably not. PG-13 was a death knell for most cinema as it made studios aim directly for the most boring middle ground they could find.

Yeah, even Stallone recently said that making Expendables 3 PG-13 was a huge mistake.

Just once I'd like to see the studios go all out on a horror-Jurassic Park flix.

I'd posit it'd work and work well in the box office.

Yikes....they got the doofus from Parks and Recreation???

Nothing wrong with Chris Pratt.

Wonder if there be another "lawyer" scene

I didn't see it. Stricly personally, I'm not a big fan of the superhero genre..not that I hate them or anything, just that I don't get inspired to watch them too frequently. I guess I just assumed that he'd be typecast, or whatever the correct phrase is. Like, whenever I see James Gandolfini in a movie, I'm watching Tony Soprano. It might be hard for me to watch a movie, and not think of him as the lead singer to Mouse Rat

Don't think of "Guardians of the Galaxy" as a superhero film.

Think of it as a buddy crime comedy.
With lasers.

Well, it looks like it comes highly recommended, so I'll give it a whirl sometime

I'd second that, and add the title of spiritual successor to the Fifth Element.

I approached it expecting Burt Macklin- Space FBI and was very pleasantly surprised.

sorry for swearing but I don't give a shi... how bad this movie looks, I felt like a kid again watching that trailer and am going to watch it, it has bloody dinosaurs, that's enough for me even at 31!

I know im a bad person

44 and seeing it myself for the eye candy

I'm with Formosa, I don't give a crap how bad the movies are, I get to see dinosaurs killing stuff, that's me happy.
