[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;48024912]Bit of a stretch, isn't it?[/QUOTE]
more of a stretch than mr fantastic
absolutely bamboozled people can get so offended over stuff like this
2015 lmao
[QUOTE=Biscuit-Boy;48024311]the point the movie made about 'raising it in a tiny enclosure fucked it up in the head' was a good enough answer for me.
also it ate it's sibling when they both hatched around the same time, right? like right at the first scene with the eggs? the wiki (i hate to admit i looked at the wikia for this movie) seems to say that they like, added the sibling into its paddock much later on, which makes no sense to me[/QUOTE]
It was not just a tiny enclosure, it never saw anything other than it's sibling, the enclosure and the robotic arm feeding it. It never really knew it's position in the world.
I'm not sure if this was talked about a few pages back or not, but how did no one see [sp] The one giant weakspot in the I Rex's pen was the large fucking door it could get out from? It even pushed it open with ease, you'd think they'd make a giant artificial lake surrounding the exhibit or something to keep it from running totally free. [/sp] But other than that, this movie was still great about keeping advertisements mostly out of the action by keeping it to the side. Plus the acting was pretty great too.

[sp]Given how far away the I-Rex's pen was away from the rest of the places, it may not have been the final "show" paddock for the I-Rex.[/sp]
So I finally saw this movie today. I gotta say, it was a hell of a lot better than the other sequels. Not as good as the first (which I will always consider the greatest movie ever made), but it was better than the other sequels by a long shot. And this is coming from someone who actually liked the second movie.
[QUOTE=AlienCreature;48022542]Is it just me, or was the plot twist that [sp]the Indominus has Raptor DNA[/sp] painfully obvious from the start? I mean, as soon as they said it was a hybrid, my mind immediately jumped to that conclusion.[/QUOTE]
Just the way it looked, I had a feeling it was that DNA.

It keeps happening
Came back from seeing the film in IMAX. It was great!
The CGI was fine, the Dinosaurs were great, the kid characters were okay, Owen and the lady individually are fine, and the a-holes were a-holes. The ending was amazing! Worth seeing if you didn't like the other parts of the movie. It wasn't groundbreaking, but I enjoyed it as much as I did with Jurassic Park. Still hated Lost World and 3. 9/10
Is is me, or are[sp] the a-hole villains in the Jurassic Park films ALWAYS the fat bastard? It was Wayne Knight in one, and that InGen guy who wanted military dinos.[/sp]
[QUOTE=goldenbuttocks;48017597][sp]damn that assistant lady's death stuck with me for some reason. it seems like it was for a lot of other people here too. i think the reason is we all expected her to live because pg-13 films dont usually just suddenly kill supporting characters like that, especially those that innocent. the death was also pretty drawn out and brutal. i throughly enjoyed the rest of the movie though. i liked the two main kids and claire turned into a badass which was unexpected [/sp][/QUOTE]
God that was fucked up. [sp]I saw that scene and kept thinking how screwed up that was. Poor assistant, she didn't deserve that.[/sp]
I just watched the movie and I've got to say that was pretty terrible. As a preface I knew a lot of what was going to happen, because trailers ruin shit now adays, but even then it was underwhelming and kind of bland.
The CGI just looked strangely bad, the characters were barely characters, the plot was dumb and included a lot of things that should have been ditched from the early drafts. The end of the big fight was handled incredibly poorly, it was more of a joke than anything resembling a climax.

Ludlow wasn't fat.
[sp]First off, the big spectacle that was being hyped were the dinosaurs breaking out in a park full of people. The actual scene took about 5 minutes to resolve. The only actual panic or hard hitting moment in that scene was the oddly handled death of the assistant. They took an interesting premise and made it boring. How it was wrapped up just didn't make any sense, you have 20,000 people panicking and stampeding and the next scene is just people sitting in a large area fairly calmly.
A limiting factor throughout the movie was the "training raptors" part. This essentially neutered the number one adversary in all the Jurassic park movies. Because they went with this angle, they couldn't involve the raptors in the aforementioned park attack and have it make sense. This would be all well and good if the rest of the movie made sense.
Chris Pratt harps on for about 10 minutes in multiple scenes that Verizon-really-is-shameless Rex has no social interaction with it's peers what so ever and that this would severely retard it's perception on reality. So inconveniently in a frankly comical scene, it talks to the raptors and convinces them to kill the Pratt. All because it is "part raptor". I was disappointed that there was no scene afterwards where it would talk to a group of cuttlefish, because it is "part cuttlefish".
Jumping back to Zara, this character perplexes me in both what she does/doesn't do and how other characters react/don't react to her. I am at the point where I think her entire character was made just for her death scene. She does absolutely nothing an extra couldn't have done and Claire seems to completely forget about her the second she is dead. You may think that this is normal for a Jurassic Park movie but consider how often that has actually happened in the movies. A named character dying with zero regard from any other character. The only other times I can think of that happening was arguably Muldoon and Ludlow.
What they did to Henry Wu's character was just dumb. They turned a character that was clearly a well intentioned scientist, into Evil Jobs complete with exotic tea set in his pristine white office.
The military angle. Holy fuck are you honestly doing this. You know that whole thing about how people thought the first drafts were fucking stupid. You know, the ones where they are trying to integrate raptors into the military/mercenary industry. That's kind of a hint that the idea was fucking stupid. Why did you do this. By implementing this you have doomed the rest of the "trilogy" to this stupid idea. Was this idea from the same person/s that suggested dino/human hybrids? Sack them, then set up a quarantine around them and their closest relatives.
I'd have to watch it again but the tone of the movie also seemed sporadic.
The ending to the Raptor, Rex, and Product placement Rex was moronic. There is no other word for it. Ending the entire movie, the final climax of the movie on the IRex getting hit by a car from offsceen.
The last thing I really want to add is I think I remember people saying they were glad that the dinosaurs weren't going to be portrayed as monsters and instead like animals. This movie portrays dinosaurs like fucking gremlins.

Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (writers of the planet of the apes movies) wrote the script and then Trevorrow brought in his own ideas, like Indominus Rex. I really wonder how the script looked before Trevorrow changed it...

I remember first hearing about human-dinosaur hybrids. This was 3 or 4 years ago when it was announced that this movie got the green light though.

The human-dino-dog hybrid plot was from John Sayles' script back in like 2004 I think. It was scrapped pretty quickly

Since one of the major differences between this film and the previous films was that the park has visitors, the only dinosaurs that get loose are the I-rex and the pterasaurs. It seems like a real waste of opportunity.
We have god knows how many species on the island with thousands of tourists. The dinosaurs were nice, but frankly, it could've used more dinosaurs. Why not take the chance to let all hell break loose and unleash something like Baryonx or that crocodile dinosaur that was discovered recently? Why didn't the mosasaurus eat anyone besides the kids' baby sitter? Why did the Dilophosaurus fail to show up for a third time? They only mentioned its venom as one of the features that the giant hamster wheel protected against. Why is there so much predigest against them?
The Lost World had a more diverse creature cast, when the herbivores attacking the mercenaries. You had one job.
Rant aside, I'll still take it over Jurassic Park III.

Why would the I Rex set free all dinosaurs? That would make even less sense.
The Mosasaurus only ate the assistant because it can't get out.

Well all the dinosaurs are technically girls so I'll let that sink in.
I understand this movie was not meant to be a stirring, thought provoking masterpiece, but fuck why dick around with the human plots then? I could not care less about Claire and Owen and the kids. Their characters were terribly written and I just hoped they would die the whole time.
I came to the movie looking for some dinosaurs to fuck some shit up, and I think most people did the same. Just give us 2 hours of dinosaurs fucking shit up and the movie would be 10/10.

my guess is they were trying to recall original ideas in the first film. IE: Malcolm trying to get with Ellie, but it's clear she doesn't want it. but yeah I agree, I didn't care for the chemistry between Owen and Claire, it felt odd IMO. especially kissing in the main street while shit is getting fucked up around them.

Sure it wouldn't have context, but who cares? Just open up with "Here's a park, here's some dinosaurs. this one is genetically modified and its mad" Cut to 2 hours of shit getting fucked up.

Are we talking literal, [url=https://xkcd.com/311/]"River Tam Beats Up Everyone"[/url] levels of pure action?
As cool as an idea that is for any action movie, I really wonder if you could actually sit through that without getting bored at all. Having some level of human drama serves to break things up and keep things from getting too stale, I think. Or has someone made such an action-filled film that disproves my point?

Yeah. I'm being mostly facetious, but I still think that would be a better movie than Jurassic World. The dream movie would have been a movie told from the perspective of the dinosaurs. Possibly the trained raptor pack, because they were the only characters that I actually liked and cared about. It would be real hard to pull off since they don't speak English so dialogue would have to be body language and tone of their voices as well as human dialogue happening near them. I don't think it would be impossible, especially given the movie's budget. There are enough smart people out there that I think they could find a way.

The compaint about the movie being too focused on the humans is really weird. The first movie focused on humans, it just so happened they were well written.
