Ehh im not sure about that.Which is significantly less impressive than the sales pitch of seeing creatures brought back from extinction.
I mean, it's not even inconcievable that an albino Gigantosaurus or Carcharodontosaurus or something like that existed at some point.
In fact it's probable.
So dinosaurs that fit that description likely existed in real life.
That thing is about as crazy looking relative to normal theropod dinosaurs as a liger is to big cats, if even that.
The thing that bugs me about these hybrid artificial evilsaurs is that there often real life dinosaurs that looked in line with them that wish these movies would push instead.Yeah thats very true, chances are there were albino dinos in history. I think the fact its still unique though is that its something that has never been depicted in our media (as far as i know of course) so that would be something.
You are right though in that essentially it is just a big dino and not something that stands out among the pack. They should have added the frills from JP1, that would have changed things up a bit :)

I get you, it would be nice to have something with a crazy design but i suppose then you would have some people saying "that doesnt look like a real dino" lol.The thing that bugs me about these hybrid artificial evilsaurs is that there often real life dinosaurs that looked in line with them that wish these movies would push instead.
For example, the one in Fallen Kingdom looks pretty much like Australovenator to me, down it's size give or take.
Now I realise that "pushing" obscure dinosaurs isn't a concern for anyone but a select group of dino nerds, but it still bums me out.
Like, some of it's traits don't make sense for entertainment purposes.Also: having cuttlefish DNA gave it camouflaging skills (which were used a whopping one time in the whole film, but I digress) and yet the filmmakers didn't think to make it flash through colours to show emotion or expression? Cuttlefish are some of the most colourful and expressive fuckers in the animal kingdom, just watch them during mating rituals. They could have done so much with this - imagine if during the fight with the T.rex the Indominus put them into effect by flashing intimidating red and white all down its body, like an explosion waiting to happen. Or it could jitter through colours it loses control over sometimes, to allude to its mental instability. That would have been so cool, creepy, spectacular, all the things. But no, it was just a Deux Ex Machina for one part of the film and discarded after. Snore.
Nah don't buy it. I was born when tigers, elephants and gorillas are all about. Still pay to see them regularly.Ehh im not sure about that.
I mean, dont get me wrong them bringing back dinos from extinction is amazing but i do think the novelty would wear off eventually. I mean you would have kids bring brought up that would only have lived in a world where they currently exist so it wouldnt be as fascinating for the adults who lived a life without them.
Of course they would still be very popular and wouldnt have a problem attracting an audience but in a world where CEO's are looking for infinite growth it wouldnt be enough for them.
Now creating a chimera dino would be a little cooler to the public since it has that 'never existed before' aspect plus the idea of them making something even scarier then the normal dinos would help with attraction.
Of course eventually they would face the same issue as the normal dinos in that everyone would acclimatise to it and then they would need something new again.
Basically they are screwed either way lol.
Also, to counteract the audience's growing boredom of dinosaurs, they made a new one that doesn't look much different from other dinosaurs.
I used to sit between them and total film.I've found my tastes, particularly when it comes to big budget movies, diverge quite significantly from those of the good people of Empire. Still one of the better film podcasts going, mind you.
Not? It certainly sounds that way, reading the comments.Not a shitshow like a lot here were predicting. Those trailers sure did suck though.
Some cool dinosaurs (and contemprary creatures) that need some love (not necessarily in leading roles) include:I get you, it would be nice to have something with a crazy design but i suppose then you would have some people saying "that doesnt look like a real dino" lol.
You got any examples of dino designs that you would have preferred them to go? As per most people my dino knowledge was mostly contained to 7-9 year old me.
People are saying is a fun popcorn movie with a gothic horror vibe in the final third.
Like i said i dont think people would stop going to visit, they would still be extremely cool of course and people would always want to see them in person.Nah don't buy it. I was born when tigers, elephants and gorillas are all about. Still pay to see them regularly.
Yeah those are some cool designs and would really help diversify the dinos.Some cool dinosaurs (and contemprary creatures) that need some love (not necessarily in leading roles) include:
Therizinosaurus and it's ilk
Herbivorous dinosaurs with sickass wolverine claws. I know JP has a tendency to depict herbivorous dinosaurs as these docile creatures you can pet, but we all know plant-eaters can be way deadlier than most predators. Would work well for a scene or two.
Quetzecoatlus, Hatzegopteryx and other Arzarchid pterosaurs
It would be incredibly easy to make them terrifying.

If you wanna sell people on feathered dinosaurs, why not go with the thing that looked like a smaller hairy T-Rex. Unfortunately, that image isn't a real movie poster.
Australovenator which I posted above. It looks like very much like the hybrid from this movie, but it is real and from Australia.
I really don't know what people expect from this series. There have been 5 movies now and only the first one was good. And that was from an inspired Spielberg at the right time. Anything since has been milking the same idea over and over and over.
I can't wait for people to see this so we can start talking about that fucking baffling plot twist.
We're talking about thegirl being a clone, right? Because when the Scooby Doo Villian said something like "you don't even know what you are" or something like that in the hallway, I literally said out lout: "YOU are a Dinosaur!". And then that's kinda exactly what it is! That girl is basically the laziest stand-in for a dinosaur surrogate ever. This movie just dropped the bomb of cloned human beings indistinguishable from real ones existing and...no one really cares. It's not even commented upon! I forgot what exactly she said when she pushed the button and basically doomed humanity (because in this world a Dinosaur who is unable to sniff out people hiding 50cm next to him is apparently the most dangerous weapon in all of humankind) but wasn't it something like "I'm alive, too!"? God, I shrunk back so far into my seat. Half expected her eyes to turn into Lizard-Eyes when they zoomed in on them in the end.

Ironic gif considering the effect "letting old things die" had on star wars
People like dinosaurs and Jurassic Park. If anything I think Jurassic World went too off base from what the originals were about.
The previous movie was terrible, but MoviePass may get me to watch this one any ways. Maybe I can shut my mind and enjoy cg dinos.
People don't realize this is exactly the message of the film and even has a dedicated line to that effect in the film. It all points to "corporate minded = bad" because it's clearly not the case given the reactions throughout the film. It's WHY the park goes south because of their inability to see that based on some number crunching.It's also bullshit that anyone would get bored of dinosaurs.
Zoos and safari parks make a killing, but people would get bored of something even cooler?
Yeah, right.
Lol, you haven't seen the film in 25 years have you? I just bought the 4K edition and now want to go back to the DVD on a crt.Do the dinosaurs still look worse than a 25 year old film?
I think I already know the answer to this
Yesssssssssssss. Growing up with JP, both the movie and the book, what really stuck with me was the "branding" of the park. It was this made up place that could never exist, but there's enough effort put into it to make it FEEL like it could exist. Isn't that part of why we play videogames? To try to experience stuff that we want to but could never in reality? JP was totally that. But the saddest thing was that JP would never open. It was always doomed to be a failed beta test. And every sequel after would be about where the dinosaurs would go after it all fall apart.
JW offered that promise, and delivered. After a bunch of "sorry Mario but your princess is in another castle", JW was the movie that said "Princess in Castle: THE MOVIE" and it didn't lie. I honestly believe that anyone who does not like JW probably never loved the park to begin with, and the people who like the film are the ones who really just want a goddamn dinosaur theme park. After so long. Fuck yeah.
Jurassic World was really fun and I feel there's this weird disconnect when I read how passionately people online hate on the film. It's just weird. It's a movie about a dinosaur theme park. It had dinosaurs and a theme park. It was fun. It was exciting. It was funny. The park felt alive and full of wonder in a way JP never tried to capture before. That alone was worth it.
Horrible, boring and offensive characters - I'm sorry, you can have all the action scenes you want but with that as an issue your film is not going to work.
Also, to counteract the audience's growing boredom of dinosaurs, they made a new one that doesn't look much different from other dinosaurs.

Overall yes, but the bits in the kitchen are a bit rough, and if I recall some bits of the trex chase tooNo kidding. The CGI in the first film has aged greatly. I think he's remembering the practical effects, which yes, still look great today.
I loved that even in world they designed a new dinosaur which was essentially just a larger t rex. Just like, that's what' going to help attendance with your park? Ok....Also, to counteract the audience's growing boredom of dinosaurs, they made a new one that doesn't look much different from other dinosaurs.
I come back and the movie is at 69% with 6.5 average rating, this movie is trying to pull a Jurassic World and keep going up, lol.
