Jurassic World (1 Viewer)

To quote Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park “that is one big pile of ####.”

Im 37 next month so if you run the calendar backwards, that puts me in that sweet spot for the original movie.  The summer of 93 was Jurassic Park for me, I read the book twice, I watched the movie countless times, I was addicted and loved every minute of it. What I watched last night may have been the worst movie I have ever seen. I didn’t have high hopes in the slightest, none of the sequels were good and each one had become progressively worse, but this jumped straight to the bottom.  I’m a simple man, I just wanted to see dinosaurs eat people. This wasn’t worth it. 

1/10

spoilers below:

- Just a few off hand things that I thought were goofy. They’re auctioning off Dinosaurs to billionaires and each one is going for like $15M.  Brock Osweiler got $60M from the Texans.  Who set the market here?

- I get the billionaire is a cripple, but he didn’t hear them building and entire industrial complex and laboratory a few floors below him for ages?  Also, who has the dumbwaiter travel down to the super secret lab?  

- The girl being a clone. GTFO. 

- This is actually a bit of criticism for all the movies, but it cracks me up how the creatures are treated as the ultimate predator and always dangerous. What the hell could a TRex accomplish in a war that an Tank can’t?  If I’m a trained military force, I think I’d rather have 10 tanks than a pack of dinosaurs.  It’s just goofy.

Saw it this weekend with my 11 year old grandson.

He had a good time. IMAX and 3D. Not really worth the $60 including popcorn.

Plenty of action, not much story.

 
I'm an overgrown kid when it comes to dinosaurs, Godzilla and the like.  Fallen Kingdom was freaking awful.

And the clone girl twist was ridiculously telegraphed.  I guess you can't even call it a twist when they are practically screaming it at you with the first look at the album.
 
Saw it Friday since my wife wanted to. I hadn’t seen the last Jurassic World. This was entertaining being on thr IMAX but it’s not a good movie. It’s exactly what you would expect it to be.

 
It was a weird step in the direction of the franchise....as I have to assume they'll make more of them.

Maybe they're trying to (in a hamfisted and over the top way) "mature" the story as their perceived fan base age goes up.....as it ain't just about escaping dinosaurs in a zoo anymore.  

FWIW, took a 9 and 8 year old to it....they loved it...

 
I assume those of you who seemed to have hated the movie enjoyed the Lost World?

This one is just very bad compared to it?
I’d say the original is like a 9.5

Lost World and JP3 were like a 5.5

The first Chris Pratt Ovid was like a 4.5

and this was a 1 if I’m generous

Enjoyed first Jurassic World.  Not sure if you meant that or the sequel to the original Jurassic Park.  If the latter, that was better than this. 

 
I love Jurassic everything. I even wore a JP shirt to an advanced screening.  :nerd: I thought it was a fun theater experience. But as a movie, it wasn't good. They really mailed it in and BDH's butt was enormous... and not in a good way.

 
I wish I can view life the way my son does. I agree with the consensus. That movie sucked the big one. The worst one of all of them. When the movie ends my son says "That movie was sick, right? I can't wait to see it again." It will make me sad when he loses that innocence.

 
Right at the bottom with Lost World. Was hugely disappointed.

Loved Jurassic World.

Just a bad movie. Some great set pieces......but...they mailed it in IMO.

And I don’t take these movies all too seriously.....but this was simply not good.

 
The best I can say about this movie is that I actually didn't hate it. It's the "Thor" or the JP world.

I didn't realize the director was the guy that did The Orphanage and The Impossible. He does a good job.

The story structure reminds me of Zack Snyder screen vomit. There's tons going on but nothing is happening.

The "wink and a nod" homages to previous JP's was overdone.

The girl was a completely superfluous character. And for what she contributed they may as well have called her Newt.

But if it hadn't been something I'd seen before in four other movies I would have been impressed with the effects and it would have been a decent summer film ride.

Some entertainment, but yeah, this movie wasn't very good.  

As others have said, the auction was hilarious.  Dinosaurs selling for 10-15 million?  I think 600 million would have been a bit more believable.  Why would a billionaire sell his soul, send massive crews to an island, pay Buffalo Bill a bonus, and then sell all the dinos for like 200-300 million and profit what after paying everyone, like 50-100 million tops?

 
30th Anniversary -Saw Jurassic Park last night at Blossom Music Center (outdoor concert venue) with the Cleveland Orchestra performing the entire music score including during end credits.
We had a great time as did everyone in attendance.
