Jurassic World: Rebirth

[Stout]

I guess it depends on your perspective. I stopped watching the MCU movies for the same reason but I doubt fans of the genre see it the same way. To me, the JP movies obviously have similarities but I don't ever confuse one with the other.

But yeah, bringing Scarlett into this world could really raise the bar for some of us. I'm not tired of the old JP movies but I have seen enough of the casts, they've had their run. So I'm really looking forward to seeing ScarJo in this setting and already hoping it's another trilogy.

There's a lot of us that used to love all things MCU that are disillusioned. My one friend won't watch any more of them at all right now. I pick and choose.

As for adding Scarlett JoJo, it won't make any difference. Crap is crap. The last one I watched made the magnificent Vincent D'Onofrio (sp?) look like a cardboard cutout character.

Yeah he was a very one dimensional antagonist and the bad news is they made two more JP movies after they killed Vincent off. Oh, and, they were each worse than the one before. But I still enjoyed them for what they were, mindless escapist entertainment. Not particularly good, barely above the Michael Dudikoff/David Bradley Cannon level yet still, it's my type of movie and they look and sound great on a nice home theater.

I’m just impressed that I saw the first one whilst in DC in law school. That’s a LONG time ago.

Jurassic World Rebirth review: 'Stale' and with 'few thrills', it may be the weakest of the franchise

Starring Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey, the latest in the dinosaur blockbuster series follows the template created by the original Jurassic Park – but it's no match for it.

Jurassic World Rebirth Review - IGN

For a movie that promises a “Rebirth,” the latest Jurassic World plays it frustratingly safe, falling back on the blueprint of the original film, but not shedding any of the problems with the more recent movies.

Haven’t seen one since the 90’s.

I remember being so pissed at my girlfriend at the time on opening weekend of the first film. She wanted to see something else. Jurassic Park was debuting the new DTS Sound system in many theaters.

Theaters at that time were NOT prepared for the new DTS systems in terms of sound proofing. We both were sitting there in our theater and all we could hear through our entire movie was booming sound from the theater next door showing that movie. When the T-Rex screamed I could clearly hear it.

I don't even recall the movie we watched that day. I was jealous of what was going on in the next theater and wished I was sitting in it. LOL.

I remember seeing it at Harkins Arcadia 8, when it was still relatively new and that theater SHOOK when the first T-Rex foot landed. That whole sequence definitely stands out in my head as a moment burned in my brain in the theaer. was pretty awesome.

Yep. The scene where the T-Rex stomps and it screaming are seared into my memory. Not only because I heard them from the next theater but because once I did see that movie I could then match what I had heard with what I was seeing. That movie changed everything in terms of FX and sound. I couldn't wait for home theater AVRs to get DTS sound processing.

P.S. The other scene that I will never forget is when they were in the jeep and that first look at the dinosaurs. The last time I was in that much awe at a movie was Star Wars.

 

[Russ Smith]

We thought about seeing it but 15 bucks each plus food etc we just decided to wait and see it online.

It's in the mid 90's here the last 10 days or so so a bit tempting to watch a movie in AC, and it's surprisingly only about 15 bucks each, expected it to be much more.

The first movie was the one that solidified me wanting to be a filmmaker. It was either that or architecture, and Jurassic Park made the decision for me. And for me also, it was the scene in the jeep where they stop and see all the dinos walking around. One of the most magical shots in all of cinema.

That first one was a truly transcendent movie that roared to life on the big screen. My favorite will always be watching the glass of water ripple.

Honestly, I can't say I cared for any of the others.

Mildly interested but don't think I'll spend the $$$$ to go sit in a movie theater with smelly perfumed fellow attendees, exorbitant ticket prices and refreshments. Harkins probably doesn't serve enough beer for me to enjoy the experience.

I'll wait until I can stream it, drink much less expensive beer and eat much cheaper popcorn and turn it off it gets too stupid.

Not as low expectations as the Fantastic Four reboot but still...

Agree with all this but I'm actually looking forward to it when it's available for home viewing. I have low expectations too but it's very much our type of movie so it won't take much to please us. And though several of the JP films were pretty mediocre, we've enjoyed every one of them.

 

[gimpy]

Going tomorrow to see this with my better half. Her choice

 

[UncleChris]

Meh...... enough with the dinosaurs already......

 

[AzStevenCal]

Meh...... enough with the dinosaurs already......

I don't share that sentiment but I feel the same way with the Purge, Ring and Final Destination type movies not to mention all the superhero films. But we all know if it sells Hollywood will keep churning them out.

 

[Covert Rain]

OMG. Save yourself the agony of seeing this movie. This is the worst movie yet. The script is terrible. The FX are riddled with physics issues and it’s by far the worst and most uninspired dinosaur designs of any of the films so far. Most of the characters you don’t give a damn about.

Save your money.

Spoiler: Spoiler

The big bad dinosaur looks like a Beluga Whale mated with a Rancor. It’s aweful.

 

[Stout]

Yinz all keep pumping money into these movies despite their awful quality. This joke franchise will continue until people stop.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Apparently what drew OG screenwriter David Koepp back to the franchise was to try something new and originally the script had a scene where people came upon two dinosaurs having sex.

From what I gather, that didn’t make the cut but kinda tells you the franchise has run its course.

Oh that scene was still there. They cut it short and it was more inferred. However, we were joking at the end of that scene that the one character is lucky he didn’t get “covered”.

The story was riddled with characters doing dumb things. The animals doing dumb things. Situational scenes that made zero sense or were laughable even for a movie like this. There was so many bad written scenes I don’t know where to start.

the next movie should just lean in... go gonzo stupid... Ouchie and I worked up a version of this messing around on ChatPGT where an asteroid is coming to kill everyone and dinohumanorous start fighting for shelter, with dino's starting to suffer serious PTSD, but just when it seems like they're going to totally destroy each other for the huge shelter bay created by the government, they realize it's not an asteroid but, ALIENS inside an asteroid, setting up the enemy of my enemy is my friend where humans and dino's have to learn to work together to defeat the aliens and in the process two of them fall in love with each other, leading to the next movie where it's all about the first...

Humasaurous - a dino-human hybrid... and now, the movies get smaller and take on the shape of the 4th Apes movie, where the focus is on what to do with the "mostrocity"... ethical concerns, etc. etc.

only for AI to finally become sentient and force the species to come together once again to fight the robots as they try to exterminate humans, dino's and humanorouses.

this might have been the other way around... where AI becomes the frenemy/foe sceanrio in the next one, where dino's and humans work together to defeat AI, but the cliffhanger is an asteroid's headed their way leading to the next movie where it's ESCAPE FROM JURASSIC PARK where a set number of humans and dino's fight to get in the ARK, a huge spaceship that will launch before the asteroid hits in order to repopulate another planet and in the process two of them fall in love, leading to the humasaurous at the end when they land on the new planet and then the last movie is to be or not to be humasaurous question, wrapped up in a cosimc battle with aliens on the foreign planet.
