All the people.

I was ok with the first Chris Pratt one. Not great, not awful.

What I really wish they had done was set the next one a couple years down the line. Maybe a couple of those military helicopters that are stealing the dinosaurs at the end crashes in mainland South/Central America. Imagine a Jurassic Park movie that's a cross between Alien/Predator/Planet of the Apes. Really lean into the highly intelligent apex predator and horror angle.

The problem with these movies, is they keep letting the cat out of the bag, over and over and over. Cat's out. What's next?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

I think they tried to do that with the new one. The D Rex (are we still adding rex where it doesn't belong?) was clearly modelled after the xenomorph.

I wanna be clear they failed. I haven't been this disappointed in a movie since I saw TLJ for the first time

The Jurassic Park movie franchise is the best representation of movies that diminish with each movie since the first one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

Eh, the first Jurassic World was a bump up compared to The Lost World and JP3, but yeah, the general trend is accurate.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I saw the movie on the weekend and I liked it. Much better than the last two, but obviously not as good as the first one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Better than Dominion isn't hard.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

I cannot believe they wasted all the original actors returning on such a piece of shit script. Like what a fucking missed opportunity

Then after space it's the college years followed by Dinosaurnado. Although, a tornado composed of dinosaurs sounds awesome.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago

Fast and Furious went to space, why not the Jurassic Park franchise too!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 14 hours ago

Genuinely flabbergasted people financially support, and thus incentivise this garbage.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Wtf was the point of this entire film? Like why?

IDK, maybe this?

Jurassic Park’s Sequel Problem

This video is 7 years old and still relevant.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

First one was grand, didn't need to be followed up or remade. Now we have a franchise.. The only remake I wouldn't mind seeing is a more brutal first one, closer to what the book was depicting. All I'd be interested in really.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I was just saying the other day if the first one had been faithful to the ending of the book we wouldn't have all this mess.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

The book got a sequel.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago

Both this and Five Nights at Freddy’s have an interesting problem, where they’re based around an entertainment franchise that goes wrong - but the franchise itself necessitates repeated attempts and failure.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

I remember trying to like the lost world but I just can’t. Only the first is worth watching.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

Happy july-sixth park

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I saw the latest fuckrassic park a couple days ago. It was at best… okay. Not worth what the movie theater charges. But if you wait to stream it then it isn’t terrible. But overall, this franchise has lost its luster

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

That’s the big issue with going to the theatre. Two tickets, popcorn and a drink for my wife and I and I’m paying $50+ in Canada. I think the last movie we saw in theatres was dr strange 2 and it wasn’t worth it, before that it was avengers end game. 99% of movies just aren’t worth going to the movies for. I haven’t seen a film i would say was 100% worth it since Fury Road. Everything else im fine watching at home. Better resolution, i have a good screen and sound. And I can pause to go take a piss

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

Yeah we have similar prices (US). The tickets were $27 (for my wife and myself) and $7 for a coke. If we get popcorn and snacks its just about $50+, depending on what we get. We get snacks beforehand and just hide them in my wifes purse like most people. I used to love going to the movies for the whole experience. But it just keeps getting more expensive and as of late, no good movies are coming out.

Eh, if Michael Chrichton were still alive today he'd probably condone it all so long as he got his royalty check. Jurassic Park canon was never holy.

Hey, corporation needed to look 'good' so it was obvious they would scrap the shitty CEO of the Book and put 'Santa Claus' in his place, right?

The actor is the same from the 90's Miracle on 34th Street
