Didn't think I'd see it, but am glad they got not only Goldblum, but Sam Neill and Laura Dern back as well to reprise their roles, though after Jeff Goldblum and what little presence he had in the last film after teasing him, I won't expect too much, but it at least bodes well for something potentially good, even if Chris Pratt is still the main character of the series.

Please have Blue again. Best dino aside from the OG T-Rex.

Anyone see that short film that made?

'Battle at Big Rock' was the name of it.

Here's to hoping this one won't suck like the last one.

It's hard to put my finger on, but for some reason Fallen Kingdom just didn't sit well with me. I liked it okay the first time, but after trying to watch it again it just didn't work.

I heard its supposed to be a proper role this time.

But yeah that cameo last time was just pointless.

Damn I thought we were gonna discuss the actual Jurassic Park 3 movie cuz they have that hilarious scene that isn't meant to be funny where this happens:

Yeah, that was one of several reasons the movie didn't sit well.

Another one being: the new characters were annoying and no one really had any arch.

Yeah, they were just millennial stereotypes. Felt the same way about Fallen Kingdom too in any case. Fun the first time, but more painful with each rewatch.

Jurassic Park 3 >>> Jurassic Park 2

Alan!

Was there only one of every dinosaur trasported off the island? I remember one baby but that was about it

And why did Fallen Kingdom completely gloss over the fact that site B has dinosaurs? So the dinosaurs from Jurassic World dying would not extinct the dinosaurs

takes place after the 2nd Jurassic World movie how that one ended.

This was fun to watch, thanks for posting.

I enjoyed the quick cut credit scenes as much as the main story.
The doves at the wedding getting dive bombed was great!

I'm kind of looking forward to seeing the opening sequence now. Especially since I think Trevorrow did better directing the world than the Fallen Kingdom director did...

Why the **** are a T. Rex and Giganotosaurus fighting? They lived millions of years apart and on different continents....

Hm.. that seems a very good question. It seems Giganotosaurus was late Jurassic and T-Rex was late Cretaceous.

Maybe they just don't give a single fu#k anymore about accuracy?

DP, sorry

I think this is the preview of the preview...

PuzRfhlk8mU


and there is a quick shot that is probably them butting heads...


....

I guess they are gonna have Rexy get her ass whipped by every Therapist in that size range huh? At least the Spino and Irex were visit different creatures. A giganotosaurus is basically a slightly bigger T Rex as far as the general audience is concerned.

I wanna see a Bull Sauropod go berserk and tear shit up.

I recently remembered that in Jurassic Park III they used incompatible batteries to revive a camcorder. So these movies stopped giving a fu#k a long time ago. Ugh, I guess I'll have to make my peace with it...

I mean JP3 was before the series got a soft reboot. Fallen Kingdom was disappointing, but I don't expect this film to be any worse than the sequels we had initially gotten.

After Fallen Kingdom, which was just lazy writing, I'll probably watch this at home, unless my son really wants to see it in theaters.

First 5 minutes of the movie. It's a beautiful looking open, I'll give it that. The prehistoric shots are wicked...

NkEU6fC_nhY

I've read people have been complaining about the The prehistoric shots from that prologue, Mainly the Dinosaur fanatics saying the Giganotosaurus wasn't around when the T-Rex was alive

FF's just enjoy it for what it is.

"Just turn your brain off bro."

Nah, I'm good. These movies have become complete dogshit. Sure, it's not some big issue. But it's little things like that that show these writers and directors care about nothing more than spectacle.

Yeah, people are complaining about it because it's stupid. But just add it to the list of unscientific and inaccurate stuff the Jurassic movies have done.

But, it will certainly be noteworthy that there are feathered dinos in that 5 min opening.

I got a little bored yesterday and turned on some of that Camp Cretaceous show on Netflix with my 4-year-old son. It's terrible. I mean, it's animated, so I guess it's probably expected that the characters would be cartoony cardboard cutouts. But good lord, it's actually unwatchable.

Couple of interesting videos breaking down the prologue.

I liked some of Trevorrow's commentary. Can tell he's put some thought into it, but it's still annoying that he doesn't even bring up some of the stupid stuff. Also, now I'm a little confused... is it going to be the first 5 minutes of the film or no? hm

Pretty cool.
Right about the 2 minute mark I thought that little critter was going to be Scrat from the Ice Age movies.

Not gonna lie, a little excited about the Therizinosaurus...

Ssh0Iez-4qY

I want to feel more strongly about this but after the last one, just feeling more of the same here.

I'd say i'm in the same situation as Riv regarding Jurassic World 2

this one looks alot better, Maybe because the director from the first Jurassic World movie came back too.

I watched some of the trailer and decided not to finish.

What I saw looked okay, just some snowy scenes and such.

2 nerdgripes from the trailers.

As far as I know they only have an arm from the Therizinosaurus whatever and they keep making the dilophosaurus some tiny little acid spitting b******* when was actually like 10 to 12 ft tall and the bad ass dinosaur

Got my tix for this opening weekend.

Actually looks pretty good. Totally unrealistic for them to keep escaping that many Dinosaurs. But who cares, looks fun.

For any other dinosaur lovers, the Prehistoric Planet special that just came out is pretty phenomenal.

Another random screenshot...

Some wicked stuff...

Yeah? Gonna have to check that out. I used to be a huge Dino nut as a kid.

Not sure how old everyone is but I was ten when JP came out and it was A BIG ****ING DEAL! Like for real, for real. I remember there was all the sudden like dinosaur camps and stuff you could go to as a kid just out of nowhere because of Jurassic Park movie. I could even tell you how many times I replayed the original Jurassic Park movie.

hope this turns out good

I have decently high hopes. I thought Trevorrow did a good job with the first Jurassic World. It wasn't perfect, but I liked the cynicism and it felt like a fun B monster movie.

I predict dinosaurs will do some dinosaur stuff in this, while humans once again, for the 6th time, come to the realization that dinosaurs and humans can't really coexist.

Good or trash?

Dominion doesn't come out until next week. There's a few reviews in over at RT, though.

We were talking about Prehistoric Planet, a new dinosaur documentary. It's really cool. If you're into dinosaurs at all it's worth your time.

Hm.. reviews are rolling in since the premiere yesterday I think.

It's pretty mixed.

I hope it's not just a bunch of stupid fan service crap like Ghostbusters Afterlife or Star Wars.

gonna see on friday or saturday

Yeah, I'm going Saturday.

Reviews are not good, it's already at 40%

I still plan to make up my own mind.

I even eventually grew to like Fallen Kingdom okay, heh.

i usually go with Joblo.com for movie reviews and the reviewer over there gave this a 5/10

Yeah, this is getting terrible critic reviews.

But I suspect it'll play better for audiences and fans. I hope.

Because even amongst the critics I'm hearing totally opposite opinions, like they watched different movies.

We shall see.

I already thought it looked pretty overboard with the escaping with their lives.

Doesnt mean it wont be fun as hell though.

Btw the last one has a 48% on RT.

And First Jurassic World has a 71, so thats the best we could get from critics (assuming this wont be better than the first JW).

Edit: just seen this one has a 37… Ouch.

The ironic thing is that on the critic concensus for Dominion it says it's an improvement over Fallen Kingdom, but the RT score is already way lower. Heh.

I don't even know how it looks. I've avoided all trailers.

Godzilla King of the Monsters was pretty good and that has a 42 on RT. So these arent the sort of films to rely on critic reviews tbh.

But will see how it is next week.

Fair enough. I didn't particularly care for that Godzilla film, but I wouldn't necessarily say it was AWFUL. I think I actually preferred the one that killed off Bryan Cranston way too early (Kong Skull Island was my favorite by far of those sorts of films, though. That movie rocks). I know that's a somewhat controversial opinion, but your point is taken...

I definitely am not putting a lot of stock in critic reviews for this.

Will make up my own mind.

The movie was lifeless and a waste of the OG trio; bad plots absolutely nonsensical choices to push the story along that actually take you out of the film and above all else not capitalizing on the most interesting story you could've told here... such a waste 3/10

You should always judge for yourself

I watched this movie with my wife on Friday.

The plot could shine as a Rated R THRILLER but the director went out of his way to make it PG-13 compliant which killed its charm and development. The tension and drama is unnecessarily toned down.

The Giganotosaurus part had the potential to be a very thrilling story arc of its own but it does not gets much screen time and the good guys have plot armor regardless.

The ending is wishful thinking in itself.

I was expecting much better from Colin Trevorrow but he missed the mark on this one.

I am not surprised though: Colin's short story (Battle at Big Rock) is also underwhelming. In view of this short story, I felt that Colin might botch the main movie as well, after a fairly decent buildup, and he did.

This is how I rate Jurassic World movies:

Jurassic World = 7 / 10
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom = 5 / 10
Jurassic World Dominion = 4 / 10

The movie does have it share of impressive action sequences, and dino depictions.

Therizinosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, Dimetrodon, and a big Raptor with feathers, are visually well done and depicted. Credit where due.

There's a Dimetradon? Not a dinosaur but one of my favorite creatures.

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would; definitely better than Fallen Kingdom imo. The first JW I didn't think as much of as time went on, so for now I may actually like Dominion more than it too, but will have to see how it ages for me.

The original cast were used more than I thought with that said. Was expecting just a cameo from them at best, but they had almost as much screen time as Pratt it felt like. Nostalgia for the characters made me enjoy their callbacks and even their occasional one liners.

Oh, and yeah, the dinosaurs and action scenes were still as entertaining as I'd expect, considering.

just git back from seeing this.. its an fairly decent okay film.. NOT ENOUGH DINOSAUR KILLINGS WHICH MADE ME UPSET. Glad the OG cast returned and survived. i loved the dinos though.. can't recommend unless you like chis pratt..igive this a solid 5/10

Watched, enjoyed. More thoughts later, but overall liked.

Some killer dinosaurs, and fun sequences.

Therizinosaurus for the win!! That made me so happy, one of my favorite dinosaurs. So I suspect Colin Trevorrow is a big fan, too.

I think I can see why Colin was excited to make this movie because he was clearly bringing in influences from Indiana Jones/James Bond as well as nostalgia from the first film. To me it still worked pretty well, but I can see how a lot of critics might have found it disjointed or something. While it does seem a bit different, I thought it was pretty fun and I think it will grow on me with more viewings.

To me the film was better when it wasn't relying on nostalgic callbacks, but fortunately I don't think it was quite as cheesy or heavy-handed as say Ghostbusters Afterlife which almost entirely relied on callbacks and nostalgia. Plus I think some of the callbacks and original cast sequences provided a bookending to the series. So I can forgive it. I still would have liked to see the Biosin exec guy die more creatively instead of with a callback to the original spitters and Barbosal cannister. But dear god, there are some killer new dinosaur sequences in this. Glad i didn't watch any trailers. The dinosaur animation is pretty amazing...

Although, a nitpick, but was it just me or was Blue's baby animation strangely choppy and... off?

As for Blue's baby Beta? Yeah, kinda was. Still cute though.

^ Glad it wasn't just me.

Okay, time for a bit of a rant. And Ghostbusters Afterlife is my go-to rant. That movie was nostalgia, rehash, corporate marketing overload with a premise that is basically a blank slate for creativity. The Jurassic Park/World franchise is different. There's only so much you can do with it. So I have to say fu#k the critics on this one. Ghostbusters Afterlife has a fresh score (63%) on RT, but Jurassic World: Dominion is at like 30%. That's ridiculous. Maybe if JW was non-stop nostalgia and corporate product placement from start to finish it would have gotten better reviews?

Fu#k the critics on this one.

I want to see Jeff's bare chest again.

Watch The Fly (1986), he's half naked in that a bunch of time. Good SciFi too.

Speaking of, surprised they're not remade that film again.

Of course I've seen The Fly Cult classic.

Very nice. What did you think?

Personally I can't wait to see it again, mainly for some of that sweet Therizinosaurus action. Man I loved that. (But sadly I probably won't have time or opportunity to see it in the theater again). The feathered raptor on the ice was fu#king cool, too. I was a little surprised how well it could swim underwater. I'm not sure that it would have been able to swoop around so fast like a penguin.. but it was certainly trippy AF.

Think the critics were too harsh on it.

It does have flaws and it's too long.. but the OG cast was perfect.

Makes me want to revisit Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis... that was such a good game.

Agreed. For example Maisey (sp?) being a sheltered teenager wanting to rebel and go out into the world should have been condensed as much as humanly possible.

I didn't mind that, actually.

Too many "racing" scenes bothered me.

Not only you can't feel the speed, you're perfectly aware none of the protagonists are in any real danger... smh. If I wanted to watch such scenes, I'd download Fast & Furious part 875327658.

You're right, the Malta chase sequence didn't ever really present any convincing peril for the characters. Part of that is just the nature of the series. You don't expect any major character to suddenly get killed. The series is mainly just an avenue through which we have interaction with and amongst dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals.

Although, to be fair, the guy flying the helicopter in Jurassic World, Masrani, did end up going down in the helicopter inside the huge pterosaur exhibition. At that point he wasn't a major character, but still, he was presented as the successor to Hammond. And the script allowed for a moments of shock as people were dying.

If someone had died in Dominion it would have slowed things down and not been terribly interesting.

So for the people who watched this movie... Does anyone get Dino-killed as badly as the park lady from Jurassic World?

Hm.. not really. Not from what I remember. There's a cut away (since it is a PG-13 film). And then there's maybe a chomp or two. That's what I remember off the top of my head.

Deaths can add to tension, fuel emotions, and can also be plot-moving devices. These elements make a good dino movie.

Jurassic World Dominion is too toned down for a dino movie unfortunately. There was no need to make it PG-13 but distributors care about money. More cinema tickets sold = more money to be made.

But people appreciate mediocrity now.

It was a fun popcorn movie and that's all.

These dinosaur films aren't anything epic.

The best are following in my view:

Jurassic Park = 8/10
Jurassic World = 7/10

Other entries in the franchise are fun popcorn stuff.

Some might disagree with me which is fine.

I just think people look back at the original JP a little too rosy-eyed. There was stupid shit in it, too (actually worse glaring errors than JW). The fence that T-Rex walked over suddenly became a huge cliff moments later for reasons (ie, the script called for it). And why not just climb to the other side of the tree if the car is falling down on you?

It's far from a perfect film. We were just blown away by the dinosaurs.

Such is the case with the new JW films.

They may have some goofy things, but the dinosaurs still kick ass.

I admit that JP is NOT perfect.

But it was a big leap from earlier dino flicks in visuals, and its plot was refreshing. It is recalled and rated very high for its visuals and originality in combination.

The fence part is explained in following video:

JW is a revisit to JP with better visuals and more action. My favorite in fact.

Agreed.

It was more like a MacGuffin plot device then a practical design consideration.

This guy makes some good points. Overall he sides with the critics, but he mentions pros and cons. I look forward to an extended version. The prologue getting cut was definitely a big flaw. There really were too many threads that didn't weave together perfectly, but it didn't hurt my enjoyment of the film too much...

And I was wondering why Dodgson was played by someone else in this film, and well here you go...

It's definitely less goofy than Fallen Kingdom. But I still like Fallen Kingdom for the Gothic vibes and such. I actually kind of enjoy the Creature feature stuff.

But yeah, I think Dominion is going to be a lot better once the Prologue is reinserted. Which it almost certainly will be. I think Trevorrow has all but confirmed it. It apparently killed him to have to cut it from the theatrical release.

Just as a heads up, there is a confirmed Extended Cut coming with the home release. Reported to be approximately 14 minutes longer, probably 4-5 minutes of that will be the opening Prologue scene that was always intended to be the opening of the movie.

I can't wait to get my grubby dino claws on that extra footage...



gs1-0mTXa1I

Nice little video essay...

mwrSoI_0sXc

I don't know how or why, but the Extended Cut has leaked. FYI

Still not even a release date for the blu-ray, but is estimated for September.

An interesting point I saw someone bring up earlier is how the Jurassic World trilogy mirrors the Star Wars sequel trilogy to a T.

. First movie is a soft reboot that copies every beat of the original movie and panders to nostalgia.
. The Second movie takes a very bizarre turn and makes the viewer question how far is too far for a movie to stray from the franchise.
. The Third movie is a weak attempt to cater to the fans they lost from the second one by plugging it with dumb fanservice moments and continuing to up the ante while being the one of the blandest things you've ever seen.

I personally consider the 2nd film the worst out of both trilogies, but still, that's modern Hollywood for ya, with the 3rd film out of such a trilogy being mostly damage control.

Be that as it may though, dinosaurs was still a refreshing change from superhero films around every corner.

It seems to fit (although I would say you can make an argument either way on the 2nd film), but allow me to explain the main reason why I think it falls apart...

There's only so much you can do with a Jurassic continuation, that is if you want to keep it relatively grounded (which they sort of did). I mean, you have to create a functioning Dino Park (especially with the progression of modern filmmaking technology). But Star Wars didn't *have* to create ANOTHER fu#king easily dismantled Death Star. Given there is an entire UNIVERSE of possibilities to draw from. So to me it's not really a fair comparison. Trevorrow did about the best you can and he cleverly bookended the series by bringing it around full circle to Dodgson and maintaining that real-world cynicism throughout.

And as for the nostalgia, I actually think it's tasteful enough to not be too distracting. I always go to Ghostbusters Afterlife as one of the most shameless rehashings of all time. Another series where there is infinite possibilities for imaginative creations and they just did nostalgia. Sadly fans lapped it up.

Also, as a side note: the Jurassic Trilogy was conceived of as is from the beginning. As far as I know the SW sequel Trilogy was made up as they went along. So JW at least maintained a cohesive narrative.

Picked this up today.

I don't know how or why, but the Extended Cut has leaked. FYI

Still not even a release date for the blu-ray, but is estimated for September.

Just seen this today, regarding the launch of it in Malta

it has 14 minutes of additional footage.

Yeah, don't even bother with the theatrical cut anymore. It's obsolete now as far as I am concerned. Do as the director suggests...

So its a better film with the extra 14 mins?....why didn't they release that one in the cinema's.

Beats me. As far as I know the studio didn't want such a long movie. 2 hrs 26 min vs 2 hrs 40 min. Not that big of a difference. Not like it's 3 hours like The Batman. But why give such great artistic freedom to your director but then force him to butcher the theatrical release? I imagine getting to market an "extended cut" with the bluray release is desirable?

even if just by the skin of its teeth (pun intended, couldnt help myself).

Despite this having been said to be the last one, Jurassic World 4 is very much a possibility according to producers. Anyone who saw how well Dominion did predicted as much. Regardless of the inconsistent quality of this series, dinosaurs just havent lost their magic with audiences. Unless Universal suddenly decides it hates money like WB, another film is pretty much a foregone conclusion.

Saw this a few days ago. It was terrible. Borderline offensively bad. I'd say it's probably worse than FK because FK at least had some really cool scenes like the opening.

Also, despite all the hype for the Giganotosaurus, it was barely in the movie.

^^^Hmmm.
Thought this was a total Oscar bait flick.

Still got more out of this than Fallen Kingdom personally. I only remember like a couple scenes from FK. It helped though I guess that I didnt really have expectations for Giganotosaurus, giving no thought or attention to the hype it had. Suppose my expectations were lowered after the Indo-Raptor too, but even it had more screen time.
