re: Terminator 5 (Reboot)
Who are these idiots who are sitting on these franchises?
Dinosaurs with guns... can you scream rip-off loud enough? Jurassic Park isn't about indestructible creatures with guns... it's about breathing, living, cloned animals and the issues regarding bringing back dead lifeforms from extinction and the hazards of bringing back something you cannot control. Since *Site B* is now a sanctuary for these creatures... can we get away from the monster chase scenario please - it's already done and done better... the only natural direction would either to stop while things haven't been ruined completely... or... find a proper reason to go back to the island and not have it be a chase movie, but to show off the dinosaurs as large, majestic animals trying to survive in a time, where they really have no natural defenses. The first one dabbled with the dinos getting sick all the time and the vet and people working there trying to figure out how to make them withstand present day bacteria. The debate could be whether to just let them die out as they are just genetically engineered clones and not really the actual animals... or, try to save them and create a natural reserve where nature photographers and such can go shoot Animal Planet documentaries and a force of park rangers trying to keep poachers out. Now THAT is a Jurassic Park I'd love to see. But I guess I'm in a minority, as people seem to prefer the chase scenario and don't think anything more than that can be added to the franchise: just brute, dumb monsters chasing people for 10 minutes for no apparent reason - certainly not for food, as we are nothing more than a tiny appetizer... so why do they waste that much energy when they get so little out of the chase? STUPID.
You could make a great dramatic movie that actually has some depth and meaning from that... and not just stay locked in the same-ol'-same-ol' chase scenario. Hell... you feel more fear seeing an elephant charge you, stop and threaten, than you do watching these dinosaur-monsters run around like pea-brained idiots through metal fences and doors without hurting.
