So they open a park that doesn't feature any carnivores, make billions of dollars, and retire? :v:
ALL MY CHILDHOOD
Will this include those half human dinosaur hybrids?
This needs to be in there somewhere:

I was so disapointed with 2 and 3 I don't know if I can be willing to give 4 even a chance.

It doesn't sound like he learned from his mistakes if he is gonna reopen it.
Remember how excited everyone was over a new indiana jones film?
This is gonna be bad
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;39186027]Pretty sure all the original were dealt with, the rex killed 2 of them, and the third was locked in a freezer, although the fact that they laid eggs means that raptors could appear on Nublar in the 4th flm.[/QUOTE]
Yep; besides, it wouldn't really be a Jurassic Park film without the raptors. Sure, the T-Rex is pretty iconic; hell the skeleton of one features in the logo of each movie, but the raptors are also a prominent iconic staple of the franchise; their finesse and intelligence counterbalances the fury and brute force of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, providing two foes that counterbalance one-another and provide two distinct threats for the humans to deal with.
Y'know what I think? I think that there should be a dinosaur movie, not a Jurassic Park one mind, that is essentially a "dinosaur apocalypse", sort of like a zombie apocalypse but with less infection and a more interesting kind of threat to try and survive against. Because let's face it; having a pack of large raptors stalk around your boarded-up shelter would be much more thrilling and terrifying than having a bunch of angry rabid infected or shambling rotting zombies banging at your door in search of brains, even if one of the features of zombie movies is that survivors can get infected and turn against their allies.
[quote]Personally, I've had an idea that involves intelligent raptors, but in a pseudo-Lovecraftian World War 1 setting. Essentially, the raptors in the "PulpCraft" mythos would be the "Valusian Federation", a civilisation of large intelligent raptors (about as tall as a man) that look similar to the Jurassic Park kind of raptor, only they have feathers like most dromaeosaurids did, and lived around the end of the Cretaceous. Knowing that the world was soon to end amidst the conflicts between the Elder Gods and the Chaos Alliance, as well as the strange dissipation of the unreal eldritch energies that supported their way of life, they built a load of massive "mausoleum vaults" wherein their bodies would lie in a sort of deathless sleep until the stars were right again, at which point they'd revive and recolonize the Earth.
Turns out the stars were right around 1908 when a massive chunk of mystical rock smashes into Moscow and reawakens the eldritch nature of the Earth, seeping down into the mausoleums and reviving the Valusians. In this reality, World War 1 wasn't the last great clash of human empires; it was a conflict between various human nations and the Valusian Federation, with the Valusians seeking to reclaim the lands that once belonged to them and the humans seeking to "drive back the savage tide of scales and talons", in the words of one particular British general. Though the Valusians had a few advantages, they found themselves neither winning nor losing, but locked in a conflict where neither side was winning; over the years both sides were experiencing a sort of war-fatigue, with resources dwindling and morale plummeting.
In the end, around 1920, both sides ended up with a stalemate and diplomatic agreement; many human nations agreed to grant the Valusians surface territories in exchange for the secrets to their technologies and sorceries. The German Empire in particular was pretty battered, and ended up selling the eastern half of Prussia to the Agrican Vault in exchange for hydroponic farms, in an effort to prevent mass starvation due to non-existent harvests in the sorcery-tainted soils of the land. In postwar Europe, there is distrust between the European Valusians and the native humans, to such a degree that the British Empire built a new Hadrian's Wall after they ceded Scotland to Elektra Vault in exchange for power sources to replace their thoroughly-depleted coal reserves.
Relations had improved by the 20's-30's however; the Great Lakes Megarail network, connecting most cities in the Great Lakes area with fast trains, was a joint effort achieved by the United States, Canada, and Hammer Vault. That same vault also helped fund the insightful Connors Expedition to the twisted ruins of Moscow, so named after the sole surviving scholar who returned from the crater alive, relating what he saw before committing suicide the following month; thus it was perceived as a "tragic success" due to the loss of life weighed against the massive insight gleaned from Prof Connor's notes. Regardless, the situation between the League of Nations and the Valusian Federation became much tamer over the decades following the initial "first contact" war, though for all those years one Vault in particular, Battle Vault in western Brazil, had failed to establish contact with the Federation. When it finally emerged in the late 50's, unspeakable horrors emerged from within, only to be stopped in it's tracks by a group of supernaturalist experts and a Legion sent by the Elder Gods.[/quote]
The quoted stuff has nothing to do with Jurassic Park other than raptors being involved, I just wanted to tell it because of reasons.
[QUOTE=Zovox;39185546]I agree, the plot is pretty good IMO. I don't get why people hate it so much.[/QUOTE]
it's probably because of the complete bullshit surrounded the spinosaurus vs t-rex fight
because pretty every way anyone looks at it, the t-rex would have ruined the spinosaurus
i liked the idea of dinosaur super soldiers :v:

Personally I don't know about that; wouldn't really fit the tone of a Jurassic Park film. It'd work as an entirely different IP, but it just wouldn't work well in the relatively "grounded" mythos that Michael Crichton set up.

Oh it probably will. Doesn't stop me from seeing it the moment is shows up in cinema though.
Seriously who gives a fuck if its going to be bad, its FUCKING DINOSAURS! I liked 2, 3 just because of the amazing work with the dinosaurs!
Dinosaur supermen sounds like a terrible premise for a Jurassic Park movie. It'd be taking a film that's fairly believable and making it balls to the wall insane.

And that's why it's bad; it's the same reason why The End of Time specials from Doctor Who sucked because the Master got turned into some sort of super-Saiyan energy vampire, as well as why Jon Jafari doesn't like the end-boss of Arkham Asylum because they turned the Joker into some hulking brute. Well, maybe not the SAME reason, but still a similar reason.
The whole thing that pesters me with this new supposed plot is Hammond.
By 2013 he's 90something years old (Jurassic Park Wiki states he was born in 1928). He must be on his damn death bed by now.
[QUOTE=Key_in_skillee;39185587]"Dude the Spinosaurus is slightly bigger than the T-rex we should have it kick the T-rex's ass and then eat a bunch of people"
"doesn't the Spinosaurus eat fish?"
"LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU"
that's why[/QUOTE]
I bet you can't fucking wait for this movie

Wasn't he literally on his death bed in the 2nd movie? I remember him being sick in bed at the beginning or something.

It shows him out of bed at the end of the movie in an interview.
I expect to see some good ol' Rex chomping. Favorite film series and I am hoping for something good rather than 'dinosaurs' with guns
Waited so long to hear this news. Very happy indeed, the whole dinosaur enthusiast scene will come alive again.

That is a velociraptor, or, a raptor, in comparison to a human. And yes, that is what they (raptors) look like. Let's take a look at all 3 JP movie's version of raptors, shall we? By your logic, all of them must have sucked.
