Quoted:
I was really hoping that after the T-rex and Velociraptor teamed up to kill the Indominus, the T-Rex would start killing everything. Instead it looked at the Raptor, nodded, and walked away. That was gay as AIDS. The T-rex has a brain the size of a walnut. It wouldn't be able to comprehend loyalty from another species. It would have killed the Velociraptor, the Hot Chick, Chris Pratt, and the two useless kids. That part pretty much ruined the movie for me. All the bad dinosaurs from JP1 all the sudden become good guys. Gay.] View Quote Yeah, the dinosaurs' behavior was a problem. |

This will be the first movie I seen in theater in at least a year. I am looking forward to this. I don't remember the original JP very much but I will remember this one I'm sure.

I saw it last night. There will be another one made. The give away is when the helicopter left with a certain scientist.
But the best part is when I saw myself sitting on the steps with my hat off right before the Pterodactyl attack. If you only knew how many scenes were shot but not used. |

Quoted: Saw it last night, my son's 11th birthday. All my kids loved it. Not a bad movie at all. CGI was well done. Chris Pratt was good in his role, the bromance with the raptors was a little cheesy but the movie is certainly better then JP II and as good as Lost World. Can't decide on Bryce Dallas Howard, sometimes she's a smoking hot ginger and other times she's got the appeal of a mannequin. View Quote Wait.... Did you say Bryce Dallas Howard? |

It wasn't nearly as bad CGI as the previews looked. I enjoyed it, although I would've liked a little more plot and character building.
I got excited when they mentioned a helo with an M134 mini gun, but was disappointed when they shot it and it sounded like an AK-47. I suppose if it were more realistic the dino would've been cut in two and the movie ended too soon :). |

Saw it in IMAX 3d.
Click To View Spoiler were there not four pet raptors? After they turned during the hunt, weren't at least one blown up and maybe one other killed during the chase? And during the final battle, all four seemed to be back, and turned again and went after super trex/raptor/wtf else it was?

saw it last night with my daughter, wife and son. I thought it was good.....Wardawg

Saw it last night, it was good entertainment nothing more. Still liked the first one the best. The best part of this one it had more dinosaur on dinosaur/human death.

So the body count is as good, er...I mean as bad as the trailers imply?

I went yesterday afternoon. I liked it.
I also knew everything would be okay when I saw Starlord. Packed house at the 4:00 matinee. Ended up with a couple of early/mid-60s ladies next to me. They had a great laugh the whole time as aunt Claire wore her spike heels the entire movie. And when the hero pulled the girl in for a kiss. And the geek got shot down when he tried it. Quoted:

Meh.
Click To View Spoiler I thought the characters were too goofy. The characters from comedies:
Chris Pratt - he actually did a fairly good job The computer programmer dude - the guy from "Let's Be Cops" who was just never really serious The father of the boys - Michael Scott's boss from The Office I think there were a few others, but they tried to make it reallll cute way too often in my opinion. Many times the humor felt forced, IMO. On the technical side, they built this super containment area for this Indominus or whatever it was, and they didn't even consider it's super secret ingredients? And then you rely on thermal that they are so easy to say "oh hey it must have failed and that's why we didn't see it". It would have been far easier to have two separate paddocks and just cut the damn grass so that you can see the dinosaur at all times, which would have also pleased your guests more (to be able to SEE the damn animal they paid to see). How did Indominus know it was being watched with thermal? How did it know that so well as to make its "decoy" scratches on the wall? How did it get the tracker out of its back with its short and nearly useless arms? How did they get the raptors to put their heads into that hydraulic muzzle system? Did they even kill all of the flying dinosaurs? Because they kind of just disappeared. The indecision of the raptors was kind of stupid, IMO. There's no way in hell that Jur.Park Jeep would have started (IMO) after sitting for 20+ years. Even with a fresh tiny ATV battery. I'll just stop there. I considered the movie entertaining. But it did not meet my expectations. But hey, movies never seem to. |

" your boyfriend is a badass"
Best line in the movie The wife and I loved it. It was the Jurassic Park that I've wanted since I was 8. Some of you guys need to relax, it's a movie about dinosaurs chasing people, not a goddamn documentary. |

Saw it last night. Did not enjoy it. Way to much cgi. Nothing felt real about it. When people died, it didn't feel real. The raptors and trex didn't feel real. Think of when Newman(sienfeld) died in the first one, it just had a real feel to it. There were no parts of it that had you on the edge of your seat like in the first one when they are trapped in the jeeps hoping trex doesn't notice them or the raptor kitchen scene. Those were extremely suspenseful. This just tried to throw a bunch of action in your face with a shit ton of cgi. So disappointing. And the ending fight scene in this was just laughably stupid

On the first page, there is a link to why CGI sucks in current movies, even though it has progressed to the point that we cannot tell the difference.
The main reason that is claimed, is that the events defy physics, and perception. In the velociraptor chase scene, you are flying through the forest, chasing them alike a wingman, passing through bushes and obstacles. That type of thing actually removes the believability of the scene, because we don't see thing like that. this was my complaint starting with the first Transformers movie.... the camera work makes it like a rollercoaster ride, only worse. Speaking of Transformers, in the article, they mention that in the first movie, it takes Optimus 20 seconds to fully transform.... by the last movie it was down to 5 seconds. For us to believe that a giant robot can change from robot to truck, there needs to be some semblance of honesty.... while we can overlook the fact that robots and vehicles don't transform, it is too much to ask that we also o along with the fact that they can move at the speed of a hummingbird. They are giants. The same theory works with dinosaurs; we want to believe they can be genetically cloned and brought back from extinction. Don't make us take a further leap of faith and ask us to believe that the giant water animal can jump 200 feet in the air to eat a shark, or that the T-Rex can run and maneuver like a dirt bike. |

Going to see it in a couple of hours.
It has a chance of unseating Avengers as the biggest opening weekend of all time. Latest tracking has it at 204 million to Avengers 207 million. |

View Quote The problem is that CGI is still very much a developing technology. Some people utilize it very well, and some people suck at it. Just look at the difference between something like Foodfight! and Toy Story I'm willing to suspend disbelief and think that maybe robots from somewhere else in the galaxy have the ability to move like humans, even though they should have much higher mass (technology/twisted physics ftw). What I will complain about are lazy artists and animators who take the easy way out and give us crappy models and unrealistic movement for supposedly realistic characters. POV doesn't bother me much. There are plenty of video games that give a tremendous sense of immersion from views that humans would likely never see. |
