Before the trailer was released apparently something came out where they were going to use this movie to explore animal abuse in captivity. Considering they're not really in captivity anymore I'm not sure if they'll still go for that angle
They probably could have done that with the first Jurassic World more because the dinosaurs were in a zoo. I'm not sure if Blackfish had already come out which really kickstarted the public's interest in captive animal welfare
 
Well that final trailer basically showed all three acts of the movie. This is why people get annoyed with trailers of summer blockbusters.

Personally I'm still going to watch it as a die-hard JPfag. I don't mind them remaking TLW for the entirely selfish reason that TLW was my the first JP movie I saw thus I find it nostalgic as fuck.

Also as a toyfag the toyline for Fallen Kingdom has been fantastic (aside from some quality control issues).
 
Saw it last night, and it was fucking dumb!

Like, not the fun kind of stupid, just the stupid kind of stupid. I actually really like the first Jurassic World, but this one was a pretty shitty, nonsensical hackjob.

Anyone else here see it, and wanna share/bitch?

Why don't you just explain why it was dumb and stupid?

Fair enough!

Spoilers ahead!

About half of the plot revolved around an EVIL AUCTION where the obvious badguy double crossed the goodguys from the last movie so he could steal a bunch of dinosaurs from the Jurassic World resort before the volcano on the island wipes them all out, which basically would have solved everyone's problems. Now, despite the fact he is spending a billionaire's fortune, and at no point in the movie is it ever brought up whether or not he has spent the billionaire's fortune, he acts like the surprisingly low amount of money a bunch of arms dealers, drug lords and other nefarious characters he's invited to his mansion in the woods are willing to pay for actual dinosaurs is a big deal. The other half of the plot involves more genetic engineering shenanigans, where the same guy is using the secret underground laboratory in this mansion to create the ultimate weapon: a cross-breed between a T-Rex and a Raptor. Admittedly, it looks fucking awesome. That said, why the badguy is willing to settle for $25 million for it from some eastern european warlord when I'm sure the Department of Defence would have drowned him in cash for it's never really explained. Also, these facilities are ontop of an estate owned by a billionaire ex-partner of John Hammond who was never brought up before and who split up with him before the original park opened for reasons that are never really explained. Its his fortune that the wiley scumbag is spending, while a little girl runs around the place being a little girl in a movie.

Anyways, the new hybrid beast escapes and goes on a rampage after a guy opens its cage so he can take one of its teeth (god help you if you think I am joking) and all the bad people get eaten. It turns out in an out of nowhere twist that the little girl is a clone of the billionaire's dead daughter (cloned with dino DNA, perhaps?! :thinking:), and also that asian dweep from the first movie and the first of the World movies is evil now and stealing all the dino DNA to make weapons, I think. Also, the movie ends with all the dinosaurs escaping into the woods of North America while that cool as fuck sea monster from the first Jurassic World movie is now roaming the California coast and eating boat loads of surfers.

Oh! I forgot! Ian Malcolm is in the movie! You remember him, right? He has a couple of scenes where he is sitting before some kind of government panel discussing what to do about all of these damned dinosaurs, and spouts off lots of dialogue carefully crafted for trailers. That's it. That's all Jeff Goldbum does in the movie. This thing was fucking stupid.

There. thank you.
As for the movie absed on what you describe and what wikipedia says... yeah, sounds more like a C- or B-List movie plot than something with a multimillion dollar budget.
Wasted Jeff Goldbum and the heroes released the dinosaurs? So they are "heroes" in the same way as the main characters in Jurassic Park 2.

You've got be fucking kidding me. Clone children? I mean, I don't exactly expect to be made to ponder the human condition by some big summer Rawr Dinosaurs!!! movie but that really does sound epically stupid and out of place.

Still going to watch the thing though because I'm a sucker for dinosaurs
 
You know, both in JW and this new movie, the people running the Dino business could really save up on a shitton of money in liablities and protect their multi-billion dollar investment if they just went ahead and installed a fucking second gate in front of their cages.

What I don't get, if they are so smart... why not put some explosives in the dino heads or some shit?
I mean, obviously realism has already died, if dead children can be cloned, so why not some head explosives?

No Sam Neill?
Then its not worth my time.
 
I saw it too and it was pretty disappointing.

There were a few fun/intense/interesting scenes, mainly on the island: I like the scene in which Bryce Dallas Howard and Nerd Guy are trapped in the dino-ball thing while it's sinking and filling up with water. You know they're going to make it but it was still a nice enough action scene.

Another scene I enjoyed was when Chris Pratt got shot with a tranquilizer, wakes up with lava approaching and has to awkwardly flail/haul his half-paralyzed body away from it. Idk just was kind of interesting and not something I've seen often before. But then 2 seconds later he just gets up and is totally fine and can run like an Olympian again.

The Brachiosaurus rearing up and dying was kind of sad and a beautiful shot.

Everything else was not good. Basically all of the dinosaurs, expect the hybrids, are good guys now. Remember that scary Velociraptor scene in the kitchen from the first movie? Yeah, forget about that. Blue/Velociraptors are practically Old Yeller (before he got the rabies) now, the mischievous little rascal that always shows up just in time to save the day.

2 thirds of the movie take place in the creepy Gothic mansion and for a while I was going to give them some props for trying something different and not relying on the tried and tested People and Dinos on Island formula but about 10 minutes in I was wishing they were back on the island and the movie was about Pratt and Howard trying to track down different species living in different habitats i.e. Oh no, we gotta save the Parasaurolophus and they live by the river; Oh no, we gotta save the Triceratops and they live on the plains. Because fuck Chris Pratt and a child fighting a dinosaur on a roof.
