I'm hoping they bring back their Chaos Effect toy line myself...

Yeah, its not like they needed to genetically engineer the dinosaur for the disaster to take place. It could easily have just been "Hey, we found a mosquito with an unknown dinosaur's DNA in it, lets find out what it is!"

I mean, they could have the disaster without any sort of new dinosaur, the existing ones are more than capable of causing havoc. But that was what happened in the previous 3 movies.

I will probably end up seeing it, the other films form an integral part of my childhood. There is a reason I got addicted to walking with dinosaurs after all.


This 'we made a new dinosaur because it's fun'! idea is pretty lame. Apparently park attendance is declining, probably because everyone in the world is sick of seeing dinosaurs.......


I do remember them saying that they were not going to give the dinosaurs feathers because it would break continuallity with the earlier films.

InGen has been bought out by this point, which is how the park opened.

I seem to recall that one of the themes they wanted was imagining a kid standing before a tyrannosaurus, staring in to his phone. Basically it wasn't enough anymore- kids became used to the "same old dinosaurs". Something that seems utterly ridiculous to us(OMG dinosaurs!), but go to a circus or zoo and Tweens and teens everywhere are staring in to phones half the time.

The only thing more certain than people getting bored with new (old) animals is people trying to have sex with those animals.

Maybe the genetic material was too degraded and so filled in the gaps with some other dinosaur's DNA. Like the first movie, but with larger gaps. It would make a good excuse.

Maybe InGen should have pursued this line of business.

"Jurassic Pork"

Who says they didn't?

Weeelllll... There was the scrapped script.

Oh thank god that idea didn't make it into the film XD

My thought is still, that the reason they're making the film is they saw the popularity of the syfy movie of the weeks (EG Sharktopus) and thought, "yeah, why don't we have some of that action?

The truth is... I might actually go and see it.

I really wish they would just go back to the damn book and make an actual movie based on it. The original concept was great as it didn't do any romanticized Spielberg bs about the dinosaurs being "innocent" and where anyone with a gun got nommed.

Originally Jurassic Park was about the the endless corporate greed of mankind making genetic freaks (that were NOT Dinosaurs) for cheap thrills and to make a quick buck, when only even more greed undercut the entire project and those responsible were hoist by their own petards.

The only real draw to Jurassic Park were the special effects in the first movie, which were executed so well it's incredibly hard at times to tell what's CGI and what's a machine. This of course evaporated in the second and third movie. Plus with the third movie we strayed into a realm of stupid so great it got offensive (although what more could be expected with Jack Horner being your adviser?).

I'm totally going to see it. Looks like it's going to be an excellent popcorn flick.

When you stand making your own dinosaurs its no longer a dinosaur movie, its crossed genres to a monster movie.

We have a Liopleuodon shaped lake gaiju which is at least 50m long rising from the water, that was the original size for Gojira. To put that in perspective, its flippers are whale sized.
It would have weigh at least 400 tons, and its able to leap.

We have a super smart (why?) super large dinosaur that is only of use for 'weapons division' and to train raptors also smack of Weyland Yutani.

It's a monster mash, and belongs in the graveyard smash.

that was the filmmakers cliche. Failure was inevitable.
Actually it wasn't. It took sabotage to bring the park down. Though the enclosure walls should have had more concrete and less wire. Also Nedry only needed to isolate the security at one point, if he kept the Raptor fences up he could have kept them all up. It was the only flaw in an excellent movie and entiorely forgivaelbe because Nedry was an arse who cared for nothing but himself and didnt care if the park failed so long as he got the $.

The second film relied on a moron taking control and remaining to press buttons like a monkey in an expensive suit. even so it took sabotage to ruin the plans there. The city zoo would have worked, in fat it would have been better. The preachy heroes smashed the survival gear of the collect team, who were lawfully there, and then took the only rescue chopped leaving them to die.
The film was annoying in so many ways from Jeff Goldblum's smugness (no acting required) to the all Hispanics are ignorant and panicy racist cliche, to the eco moral high ground, to the it doesn't matter how many Hispanic mooks die, and back to Jeff Goldblum because he deserves double mention. If the mercs were black it would have been noticed more.
JP2 is saved from being a total turkey by Pete Postlethwaite and the dino in the city scene, especially the Gojira homage with running asian tourists. Any or all of the protagonists could have been eaten to improve my enjoying experience with the kid being the only exception, she did nothing wrong. However it was blindly obvious they had a 1+ plot armour save apart from the doomed unphotogenic practical supporting type.

JP3 is a rescue adventure movie on a known dino island and doesn't count.

JP4 could have a cult sabotage the park for 'playing God', deliberately trash things and loose dinosaurs. It would be plausible and then the defences that keep dinos out hamper efforts to flee.

Training raptors is perfectly legit I think. They're shown to be highly intelligent already and what do zoos and the like do with every other animal they can? They train them in various behaviors that make it easier to do their jobs.

Making the "super" Dino is also entirely plausable as humans have engaged with genetic modifications for centuries, just thru the slower meathod of selective breeding. The moment this kind of genetic modification and cloning and stuff becomes really feasible people are going to be making all kinds of weird animals trying to improve on nature.

New feature up- "Live" Park Cams!

These images actually were going to be part of the plot from a scrapped script.

That's some nightmare fuel stuff right there.

Who in their right mind would look at his fellow scientists and say "ya know what? I think the earth could use a few of these, lets get to work!"

IIRC it was something along the line of hybrid human/dinosaur soldiers, or hybrids engineered for military use. Real B-movie level stuff.

Indominus Rex Lego leak-



So apparently Chris Pratt is a Raptor tamer, which explains the "biker gang" from the original trailer.

Why must a brother be the first casualty?? I thought Dino prefer white meat..

Looks cool and I will go see it with my nephew, but I am STILL waiting for a JP movie that uses either of the books as more than a vague reference. Hell the second movie completely gave up even following the book at the end, and I was disgusted when it happened.

I absolutely loved the original when I red in in third grade (my teacher actually forced me to get a parent slip proving they were allowing me to read it, lol).

Do any of the videos show dinosaurs?

Well, they show creatures recreated from dinosaur DNA and other critters, but most people just call them dinosaurs for simplicity's sake.

Unless you're referring to the "Live" feeds, in which case I'm not sure if they do yet.

Well for the training of the Raptors, there should be at least on Raptor Squad that can do something worthwhile.

Yeah. That's the part I really want to see. That human raptor hybrid monstrosity should never have been born, but the Raptor Squad is an awesome idea XD I'd hate for the Raptor Squad to be one of those trailer gimmicks where they all get knocked off like cheap mooks without doing much XD

That's what killed AVP for me. The Predators just dropped like flies within moments of the 'AV' part of AVP.

I'd really love for the Raptors to be minor characters in their own right, with little personalities and stuff, but maybe that's hoping for too much XD

Jurassic World Minions?

Is it too much to ask that this film be rated R?

I know it probably won't end up with that rating, but a girl can dream...

I'm starting to imagine a scenario where they sacrifice themselves to lure the Indominus to the leviathan pond...

If, at one point, starlord rides a raptor I will chear
