movies Jurassic World (2015)

[The Evil Overlord]

I'll watch and buy it regardless (or there will be a gap in my collection)

As it happens I have the first 3 on dvd and now thanks to my wife, blu ray

Quote: "The 4th movie is never good." Add Shrek 4 to that list.

JP3 was in 2000 so I don't mind seeing people running away from dinosaurs again after 13 years. :p But the dino rendering has to feel lifelike, the plot has to be good, not stupid and convincing. First two were based on Michael Cricton's novel and yet the 2nd movie wasn't as good.

1st movie's plot was good: Zoo like theme park on Isla Nublar where they think they have dinosaurs under control until that fat guy disables security to sell the embryos and all hell breaks loose

2nd movie's plot was crap: Stupid girlfriend going to Isla Sorna and Hammond's nephew wanting the dinos captured on land

3rd movie's plot was okay-ish: Parents lie to Alan Grant that they will only be scouting the island from the plane and then knock him out. The dinosaur rendering in JP3 was crap though and visibly inferior to the first 2 movies, I LOLed at the fight between the T-Rex and Spinosaurus. They almost felt like robotic monsters.

You haven't played Telltale Games' Jurassic Park by any chance? The story in the game revolves around that embryo can, simultaneous to the film. It's an adventure game with a lot of quicktime events, which sounds kind of horrible on paper, however they absolutely nailed the first Jurassic Park's feel and it was very funny too. Oh, and the kid was likeable (for me anyway), unlike the ones in the film.

Suffered my way through it. I did say in my post "like the game" Biosyn sending a person to find Nedry if he didn't turn up.

I don't think a film set on the same island running parallel would be the way to go, people would think it would be too much like the first film.

Yeah, missed that, latched on to the last paragraph for some reason, too tired I guess.

I suppose you're right about using the same locations. On the same note maybe they should use completely different set of characters, the original actors are kind of old to be running in the jungle. Hopefully Spielberg will have likeable children this time or I'm going to be rooting for the dinosaurs again.

They also must knock the dinosaurs' intelligence to more plausible levels. In the sequels it kept poking at my suspension of disbelief.

Plot:

Terrorists in Alaska manage to acquire dinosaur DNA and in collaboration with a rogue scientist manage to create an aerosolised retrovirus that turns humans into dinosaurs. However, a freak snow storm damages the laboratory and unleashes the retrovirus on its creators, transforming them into aggressive dinosaurs. Desperately seeking warmer conditions the dinosaurs head south, wreaking havoc in Canada before arriving in Washington State. With the US military powerless to take on the thick skinned creates the CIA comes up with an ingenious plan to lure them to the Mexican border, where they can be used to battle the Mexican drug cartels. Unfortunately the plan goes awry as the dinosaurs are travelling through California when a group of survivalists attempt to take them down with high calibre assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades, leading to chaos on the streets of Los Angeles. Things take a turn for the worse as the creatures make their way towards a vulnerable nuclear power plant near the San Andreas fault, where a breach of the reactor would result in a quake that would cause the entire western landmass to slide into the sea. With time fast running out the US President has little option but to launch a tactical nuclear strike against the rampaging beasts. As the country mourns its losses the film ends with a subtitled scene in Mexico, where viewers see the leaders of the Mexican drug cartels discussing their plan to unite to invade the United States.

Sounds Resident Evil-esq

Id kill myself if that was the plot to JP4. I'm a huge Jurassic Park nerd, I've read the books back to front maybe 10-15 times and seen the films as many if not more times.

Plot:

Terrorists in Alaska

:huh:

Save for hockey mom there's not much of anything in Alaska.

[theyarecomingforyou]

Save for hockey mom there's not much of anything in Alaska.

Apart from preserved dinosaur DNA.

[Luc2k]

Apart from preserved dinosaur DNA.

Why would there be preserved DNA in Alaska?

[ATLien_0]

At least Spielberg is back to direct it. It would be cool to go back to the original Island and bring back the 2 kids

[Tuishimi]

How can it be bad with dinosaurs in it? I don't even care about the plot or the characters... I just want to see the dinosaurs.

It probably won't be but I would think somewhere in there the dinosaurs are going to be able to think for themselves, I wonder what the new script draft contained...hopefully better then this...

That's the part you found implausible? Not the CIA using the dinosaurs to fight Mexican drug cartels? :rolleyes:

Yeah I've read multiple rumours, dino hybrids, military trained dinos, etc..

Thought you wanted to go somewhere with that statement, I was just poking :D

They (raptors) already had ridiculous intelligence, esp in the sequels. I'd like it more if they'd go for a survival horror approach.

On another note, I wonder how much of the current knowledge they're going to implement.

The 4th movie is never good.

Alien 4

Terminator 4

The 4th Star Wars

The 4th Bourne

etc

Bourne Legacy is fantastic. Easily the best of the Bourne films.

At least Spielberg is back to direct it. It would be cool to go back to the original Island and bring back the 2 kids

Except he isn't directing it. He is the producer.

I enjoyed the first two. The first one is obviously the best, but I thought the second one was pretty good. Incidentally, of the three, the first two were based off books, and the third one wasn't, which is why it was bad. The second one though, aside from the ending, was pretty good IMO.

Nope, I thought it was awesome too.

And if I think Terminator Salvation was number 4, and I thought that was the best one.

Terminator 4 was pretty good. It was infinitely better than T3, and about the same as T1, but Terminator 2 blows them all out the water IMO.

:cry:

The first film was decent but the rest were terrible. I wasn't impressed with the second film at all, especially the Godzilla-style ending, and the third film was a train-wreck from the get-go. I'm quite surprised that they're going ahead with Jurassic Park 4, though Hollywood isn't known for its originality.

[Kriz]

If that is the idea for the storyline for this film, they might as well bin it now :|

Joe Johnston the Director threw out the whole JP3 script just before filming was due to start, they were on a tight schedule so had to start filming and they made the film up as they went along, he was extremely resistant to the ideas of the writers in favour of his own. Thats why JP3 was garbage.

Even though they are on a ridiculously tight schedule they could get this right, there are no more books to base the movie on I am interested to see what they make of it.

I'd not heard that before but it figures. I know that a similar thing happened to the previous James Bond film, Quantum of Solace, due to the writers strike and due to unions and contracts the only people who would work on the script were the director and Daniel Craig. In the end Daniel Craig ended up writing part of the script, which he said was a horrible experience.

Laura Dern talks potentially returning for ?Jurassic Park 4?

Of all the projects Laura Dern has worked on, the one she is perhaps most known for is ?Jurassic Park.? That?s why it seemed only natural to ask her about the upcoming ?Jurassic Park 4,? which has been discussed for years but finally seems to be coming to fruition soon.

?I know a little and it?s been ever-changing. It?s been evolving for many years as Steven has been considering it so that?s all I can say right now,? Dern told IFC on the Spirit Awards red carpet. ?But very excited about the original ?Jurassic Park? coming out in 3D this summer. I?m going to see it soon, which will be very interesting.?

There?s little known about ?Jurassic Park 4,? specifically if it will involve the cast of the original ?Jurassic Park? or what it will be about. Dern doesn?t seem to have decided whether or not she?d want to join the movie if she had an opportunity to do so.

?Oh, I don?t know. We?ll see what they do. Right now we?re just focused on our party of this summer,? she said with a laugh.

?Jurassic Park 4? is in some capable hands. Spielberg is producing the movie along with Frank Marshall, with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver having written the screenplay for the movie. It?s due in theaters on June 13, 2014, and does not currently have a director attached. ?Jurassic Park 3D? is due out on April 5.
