My 2 cents-

At the end of Jurassic World we see InGen now has a whole host of embryos. They make a facility, things go wrong, they go silent, and a team is sent to investigate. I'm curious if it'll be on an island, or deep in a jungle on the mainland.

So guys, What do you think the sequel will be like?
And We are getting one. Chris said he is signed for more, it blew up the box office, getting good reviews, We are getting one.
But what do you think? Maybe taking back the park? or a prequel on how they took back the island?


Sapient Dinosaurs?

The "Dinosauroid"

Spoiler:


A model of the hypothetical Dinosauroid, Dinosaur Museum, Dorchester

In 1982, Dale A. Russell, then curator of vertebrate fossils at the National Museum of Canada in Ottawa, conjectured a possible evolutionary path for Troodon, if it had not perished in the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 65 million years ago, suggesting that it could have evolved into intelligent beings similar in body plan to humans. Over geologic time, Russell noted that there had been a steady increase in the encephalization quotient or EQ (the relative brain weight when compared to other species with the same body weight) among the dinosaurs. Russell had discovered the first Troodontid skull, and noted that, while its EQ was low compared to humans, it was six times higher than that of other dinosaurs. Russell suggested that if the trend in Troodon evolution had continued to the present, its brain case could by now measure 1,100 cm3, comparable to that of a human.[13]

Troodontids had semi-manipulative fingers, able to grasp and hold objects to a certain degree, and binocular vision.[13] Russell proposed that his "Dinosauroid", like members of the troodontid family, would have had large eyes and three fingers on each hand, one of which would have been partially opposed. Russell also speculated that the "Dinosauroid" would have had a toothless beak. As with most modern reptiles (and birds), he conceived of its genitalia as internal. Russell speculated that it would have required a navel, as a placenta aids the development of a large brain case. However, it would not have possessed mammary glands, and would have fed its young, as some birds do, on regurgitated food. He speculated that its language would have sounded somewhat like bird song.[13][31]

However, Russell's thought experiment has been met with criticism from other paleontologists since the 1980s, many of whom point out that his Dinosauroid is overly anthropomorphic. Gregory S. Paul (1988) and Thomas R. Holtz, Jr., consider it "suspiciously human" and Darren Naish has argued that a large-brained, highly intelligent troodontid would retain a more standard theropod body plan, with a horizontal posture and long tail, and would probably manipulate objects with the snout and feet in the manner of a bird, rather than with human-like "hands".[31]

I loved them too.
Wasn't a big fan of 3 though.

Now that I think about it, isn't that the plot to Carnosaur 2?

Hiding behind terrain

I had a hard time being immersed in the movie. The constant flicking back to the control room characters and their terrible scripted lines or stupid stuff like "We gotta jump" while the kids stop and get a run up while there is a dinosaur in pursuit!
The script writers obviously know nothing of fight or flight responses. Another example was the capture squad, the shotgun guy walked into the open mouth.

A world of contrast to JP2: the lost world where you had the guy in the jeep actually show abit of emotion when he realised he was screwed when the 2 T-Rex showed up.

The T-rex also gave me a weird vibe when it showed up. Maybe because it seemed to be moving in slow motion? Kinda reminded me of terminator salvation when Arnold showed up for some reason.

I actually rate this my least favourite of the 4 movies. While there are things that annoyed me in 2 and 3, they were not popping up again every 10 minutes breaking the immersion.
