The synopsis is that a volcano is erupting and they need to go save blue and other dinosaurs? I'm sorry to say that this one won't be good. But I'm excited. Because dinosaurs.
my whole hope with all of this is that they go there to rescue the dinosaurs. they pack them up in trucks sedated, as we see the trex is in that one clip, then ship them off to san francisco where through a series of unfortunate events the trex wakes up and rampages through that city only to be thwarted again by Dr. Ian Malcolm.
When did we start getting all soulfag on the plot behind Jurassic movies? It’s all dumb as fuck. As long as the characters grow likable enough that you don’t want to see them eaten, the movie is entertaining. That said, if we want to discuss the plot, how are there still consistently children sent to the island?
I think one thing that takes away from all Jurassic Park movies after the first one (and its really unavoidable because in that universe the events of the first movie exist) is that in people do not have that sense of awe when they see dinosaurs. The first movie does a great job showing what it would be like if a modern human really saw a living, breathing dinosaur. In all the movies after that, you lose that and its like "oh shit look, yet another dinosaur!" The scenes from the first one where they are just captivated by the majesty of the dinosaurs is part of what I love about it as a film. Not saying other ones in the series aren't fun or entertaining, just something I notice that makes the first one my favorite.
It's pretty much the same thing as jaws only on land... even down to the diminishing returns of the sequels
it's why it's maybe the most Spielberg of all Spielberg movies. kids with parental issues popcorn fun for all ages a plot that's ludicrous on paper but he makes it work because winks at it just enough majestic john williams things that make you go:
yeah I tried to be general by saying "parental issues" but it's usually "daddy issues" (ET, Indy, War of the Worlds, Hook, Catch me if you Can)
I heard the reasoning behind that one time and I think it has something to do with Spielberg's relationship with his own father, unsurprisingly
I'm not a huge fan of the idea of exploding hillsides taking attention away from the awesome dinos, but I still can't wait to see it.
Chris Pratt and Blue the Raptor take down a secret government plot to breed dinosaurs as weapons of war? With the T-Rex almost certain to save the day at the end over the GOAT movie score?
So it looks like the scenes on the island are going to be in the minority, which initial trailers didn't leave one to believe at all. I'm even more onboard now.
Seems like they've gone the way of Fast & Furious franchise and decided to double down on the absurdity that was the plot from the last movie, as opposed to trying to actually make a good movie. Don't get me wrong, I was entertained by JW1 and will probably see this opening weekend, but that plot looks insanely stupid.
And JW1 made more than $1.6B worldwide, if I'm not mistaken. I think the FF franchise has more of a "we all know what this is" thing going for it. I'm not sure JW has that, yet, or if the success of the last one was simply a nostalgia thing where people overlooked how ridiculous some of that stuff was. I don't really care either way. Like I said, I'll go see this one just like I saw the last one. I'm okay with popcorn movies. I'm curious if people will still be all in for this one if reviews are harsher than they were a couple years ago, though.
