Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
It was terrifying, don't take the kids! This is the first Jurassic I'd definitely say is iffy for under 13. The little girl next to me was around Masie's age, about 9 or 10. She was buried in her mom's chest the entire time with the Indoraptor. TBH. I was buried in my seat sometimes. And I LOVE my scary movies. I honestly think it's better than JW in every way. It surpasses JW as my third favorite. It improves on a lot of areas I thought JW lacked in including tension, visuals, and sound design. I even thought that the dialogue was better written.
That's without a doubt the one scene that's going to stick with me besides the Indoraptor sneaking into the little girls room.I hate to say it, but there was a beautiful scene that I hated and stuck with me. You probably know what scene I'm talking about. I shouldn't be surprised, being a fan of "A Monster Calls", but that poor brachiosaurus on the dock. It quit being "hey look a dinosaur" and became an animal, helpless and in distress. And it disturbed me. The audience was silent. Good job Bayona.
Ummm, what about the other island full of them? Did the writers forgets Jurassic Park parts 2 and 3?????
I hate when people pine for the magic of the first movie. The book had none of it. The book was dark, gritty, nasty and violent. The awe and wonder was completely introduced by Spielberg. The books were pure R-rated sci-fi horror where a baby got eaten, and Nedry holds his own intestines in his hands before being eaten.
Well, no one pines for the magic of the book. The book was fantastic, too, for its own reasons, which were different than the reasons which made the movie so good.
The movie was special. But nothing is going to recapture the feeling when you first saw a dinosaur on screen. It's been done and while it can be redone, it doesn't possess the same feel as the first time. But, I imagine that if Jurassic World was the first one someone had seen, like many kids, it may have been a magical experience for them, and watching the original would feel to them like Jurassic World feels to us.
We were spell bound the first time we saw it, then the spell was broken.
In JW, Dr. Wu said something along the lines of "you didn't say to make them real, you said to make them scary."
This is why the I-Rex and I-Raptor were monsters. They were engineered that way.
Many of the other dinosaurs in JW were perceived as animals, but they were secondary and not critical to the story. The flying dinosaurs that slaughter the people in the park... that was just bad writing. JW2 had a few examples of dinosaurs being shown as animals, the brachiosaurus on the dock was one example.
Then there were the carnivores snatching a free meal while running for their lives from a volcano, which was more monster than animal, and just dumb.
How much was animal instinct versus monstrous engineering for the sake of ghastly entertainment? How much was just lazy writing?
Yep. Even if they have enough frog DNA to switch genders, the wild dinosaurs are just individual problems. (Maybe the T Rex and the allosaurus could cross-breed, I don't know.) The more lasting problem is the convoy with the DNA samples.
