And, that Pratt is lovable

I have no interest in the plot, but I'll go for the dinosaurs.

Continuity-wise, I like that the Asian scientist from the first movie is still working for InGen. Nice touch there.

I want some sort of joke about the first park failing and how he got out.

Looks pretty dreadful TBH. The CGI and camerawork manage to make dinosaurs look ho hum. Did George Lucas direct this movie under a pseudonym?

Out of all the movies coming out this year, this is probably the one I am most excited about. Partially it's because I legitimately want to see it, and partially because this is a pretty weak year at the movies, looking forward. Yeah, a few gems, but mostly clunkers.

Yeah. We have avengers, which will be good, JW, which might be good, AntMan, which will be fun.
Im hesistant about start wars, Abrams didnt do Star trek right.

I hear you.

Hmm.. tough one, I'm a huge fan of Pratt, generally have liked all the Jurassic films, but something feels off in this one.

Feels a bit jumping the shark .. eating the shark? ..with the plot, but I suppose we'll finally get to see what happens when dino's run rampant with a Disney world sized attendance crowd.. so that might be fun.

Will skip a cinema release though, too expensive for something giving me that many doubts.

First, nice one.

Second ... yeah, if only they had thought to train the raptors in Jurassic Park. LOL ...

Looks good, I hope it is as good as the 2nd one - my favourite.

its Dinosaurs, inteligent Dinosaurs - love it

Wait for cable TV I think.

This film is a watch once. The lake gaiju, super-rex, dumb corp cliche, training raptors, soldier victims, quite a list of hot mess.

I can sniff this one is going to be a plothole fest, especially once a dino starts beating a well armed military or paramilitary force.

With Aliens there was a hidden advantage to the monsters and even then the human commander had to have a tactical nerf to bsalance the books. I can imagine the levels of dumb the humans with guns will have forced on them by the plot to give super-rex a chance of a win.

If the military gets involved it would be easy, as soon as you know infantry get eaten send in helicopter gunships, or an AFV. Some light tanks are airdroppable and a 30mm cannon will mess up any monster it sees, and the armour will take it's knocks.

Pfft just some jeeps with Ma Deuces. Aint no dino going to survive a few rounds of 50 cal attitude adjustment.


of course thats kind of the same problem with the tyranids...

Indeed. Dinosaurs aren't dragons with impenetrable hides.

We'd have no problems taking dinosaurs down with some of our larger caliber weaponry.

Even Genetically modified dinos?

I think it looks awesome. I can't wait. And it's nice Pratt says what all of us have said; there are dinosaurs! What more of a wow factor do you need? At least the "issue" with a genetically created one was discussed and reason given. Cool. I'm ready to enjoy this puppy. You guys can all wait til dvd, but I'll be there at the theater.

So you reckon his character is making fun of the movie, people who go see the movie, or both?

I will go to the cinema, just as I did with Pacific Rim(job) and be entirely entertained, watch pretty visuals and leave quite contented by it.

It looks like it will do exactly what it says on the tin... Bring it on.

None of the above. I think his comment was to allay doubts as to the creation of what many have felt to be an unnecessary addition.

But it kind of points out that the addition is unnecessary.

So, this takes place in continuity with the other movies?

And...people still actually go to Jurassic Park?!?

This one looks to be Dumb Fun at most, and at the bottom of the list in terms of "Movies I'm Excited to See In Theater This Year".

But it is still on the list!

Yeah, with meangreenstompa on this. I will enjoy this the same way I enjoyed Pacific Rim. Giant robots fighting monsters? Hell yes. Dinosaurs murdering people? Hell yes. Seriously, the mosasaur alone is enough for me to go watch it.

Pratt forms a biker gang with Raptors? Count me in

A person is smart, people are dumb

To be fair. I would totally go to real life Jurassic parks. Dinosaurs are awesome and if that's how I die, it's a pretty cool way to go.

They probably let it known that all the original failure was a fat guy from seinfield.

And, Im just wondering, is it on the same islands? How did they wrangle the Dinos?

I 'd love to go - depends on how much and how far but yeahi'd go - its dinosaurts - but then I also want my own Raptor pack

Will the ubiquitous annoying kids get eaten this time?

Please god let them get eaten.

I'd go to the vegetarian version.

The problem with this is that the first movie was movie monsters + up-to-date-science (the general public's first real hint that the dinosaur renaissance was a thing, twenty-four years after it started) + groundbreaking effects + whatever of his usual 'magic' Spielberg could wring out of the thing. Now, Spielberg left after the first movie; we've been bombarded with CGI for over twenty years, to the point there's a minor backlash against it; and Colin Treverrow has gone on record, performing a one-fingered salute to the idea that palaeontology didn't stop in 1993. That just leaves us with movie monsters, which places Jurassic Park 4 about on par with Critters 4 or Leprechaun 6.
