Wife didn't see it when I saw it - and even after seeing the thread and me telling her how bad it was still wants to watch it. So guess I'm stuck doing round 2 this weekend at some point now that it's streaming.
You can buy or stream it on Amazon Prime - I think it was $19.99 but don't quote me on that. Either way inevitably this results in her not seeing it before the rental time runs out and me having to rent it again.
I knew it was going to be bad because every movie aside from the first has been terrible but my goodness that was even worse than I expected
i decided to watch tonight and I'm so bored with it somehow i still have an hour left of this movie, too. why the hell is it 2.5 hours?
Because they gotta move all the dinosaurs from a free roaming earth to a consolidated area with a shit bad person
I mean I enjoyed the first Jurassic World for what it was. The second was one of the worst I’ve ever seen and I have no desire to see the third.
I believe Spielberg added the San Diego stuff because he knew he wasn't going to direct the inevitable third film and wanted to make that more than any other part of the movie. He had no interest in going back to a remote island. He wanted the next step to be the dinosaurs in civilization. The screenplay (which was being written and re-written during shooting) ended up spending way too much time in a rehash of the first movie before getting to the good stuff.
‘Jurassic World’ Director Found in ‘Rogue One’ Filmmaker Gareth Edwards Spoiler The dinosaurs are ready to roam once again. Gareth Edwards is in talks to direct Universal’s latest installment of the Jurassic World franchise and to step into shoes that were worn, if ever so briefly, by Bullet Train filmmaker David Leitch. Universal and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Partners are moving as fast as hungry velociraptors on the project and have set a July 2, 2025, release date for the creature feature, making it a hot go project. Leitch, who directed the studio’s upcoming Fall Guy action-adventure movie, was in talks in early February to helm the project, but just days later, the two sides parted ways. It became clear to Leitch that his creative input would be minimal due to the project’s fast-tracked status and because the producers wanted to wield a stronger hand after the experiences of Jurassic World: Dominion. This would also have minimized the participation of his producing partner and wife, Kelly McCormick. The new Jurassic already is several drafts in, with a script written by David Koepp After Leitch fell off, the studio and producers put on their safari hats to wade into the jungles of Hollywood to find a filmmaker who was experienced with big studio productions, who could accept that the role would be more shooter than auteur, and oh yeah, had to be available quickly, as the studio is intent on commencing production in June. Universal had a very short list on its hands, but Edwards quickly rose to the top. Edwards knows his ways around creature features thanks to his breakout indie Monsters and subsequent studio debut, Godzilla, which launched Legendary’s Monsterverse a decade ago. He’s already weathered one tumultuous production thanks to his experience on Star Wars movie Rogue One. And he’s a special effect wiz good with budgets, demonstrated most recently with last year’s original sci-fi thriller, The Creator, which starred John David Washington and though it was made for $80 million, looked like it cost much more. The new installment of the three-decade-long franchise is being executive produced by Spielberg through Amblin Entertainment, with Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley producing through Kennedy-Marshall.
Brusatte is one of the goats. Team SB: "Ultimately, to me, this variation is very minor and not indicative of meaningful biological separation of distinct species that can be defined based on clear, explicit, consistent differences," University of Edinburgh paleontologist Steve Brusatte said. "It's hard to define a species, even for animals today, and these fossils have no genetic evidence that can test whether there were truly separate populations."
I read a lot of paleo books last year. It's funny to read about all the stupid games a lot of them play trying to make a name for themselves.
Didn't read the article but are they talking like a Bengal tiger vs Siberian tiger distinction or lime tiger vs lion vs leopard type distinction?
Most of the paleontologists in the article disagreed and didn't give the theory any validity. It's a misleading tweet. They didn't really go into a lot of what you're asking
Supposedly the plot is them tracking down the remaining dinosaurs to harvest their DNA for a pharmaceutical company.......but they discover a secret. Sounds enthralling.
It is being directed by Gareth Edwards. The movie could still suck but it would be one of his few misses.
I enjoyed Jurassic World (2015), but the next two were atrocious and the franchise is just screaming for a mercy kill at this point.
Ok, so they're just leaning into it. They've progressively made the franchise worse and worse and now they're just speed running it into the ground
- humanity needs dino DNA to cure some disease - ScarJoe is a merc tough guy but reveals in the jungle that she has the disease and is dying which is why she's on the mission - she injects the dino dna in attempt to save herself - becomes DinJoe
I wouldn't be the most popular director of all time if I didn't have Die Antwoord in all of my movies
There is something hilarious about hearing John Williams' beautiful score applied to something so monumentally schlocky and stupid as that.
