That new Jurassic Park movie looks pretty boss, doesn't it? (1 Viewer)

Trailer looks good.

The girlfriend wants to plunk down the $35 to see it in 3D.

I'll have to be convinced before I agree to that.

 
I'm sorry, but this looks terrible. I don't know why we should expect anything more than Jurassic Park 2 or 3 out of this, or any other summer blockbuster cgi trope. OMG, they created a new dinosaur and it's intelligent! They're communicating with each other! It's like Jaws 3 and Deep Blue Sea, but on land!!!

Jurassic Park was cool because it was ahead of its time. Now big CGI Dino's on the loose are nothing special. I kind of laugh when I see all the product junk they're doing for this that get whole TV spots (Barbassol now has dinosaurs on their shaving cream cans, watch this full 30 second TV spot about it!!!) as if this was still some special movie that everyone is anticipating like the original was.

I like Chris Pratt but his whole thing is mixing comedy with drama, Whedon style, but I've seen none of that in the previews.

"Who's the alpha?"

"I am."

:wall:

Next thing you'll be telling me you don't like New Coke.

 
I'm glad that I have such simple tastes in movies that I can enjoy loud, brash, outlandish movies like this for what they are.
It's nice to have the ability to turn off or alter the brain a bit and enjoy movie like this now and again.

I really feel bad for people who can't.

About the other movie I mean. This one looks terrible

What a ringing endorsement for a movie... "It's really good if you turn your brain off".

That's like saying "that's a good restaurant if you shut off your taste buds".

It just means there is nothing to try and figure out. Sit back and enjoy what they put right in front of your face.

Your analogy is just terrible. You could have easily made a much better analogy using food. Shame

I have a feeling there isn't much difference between your brain being on or off.

I love big dumb popcorn movies. Hell, I've gone to bat for the first couple Transformers movies multiple times on this forum. If that doesn't show that I love big dumb popcorn movies, I don't know what will.

But I see nothing in this to make it look exciting even as a big dumb popcorn movie. It looks like it will be some bottom 10% crap even in that category, just like Jurassic Park 2/3 were. It's like their whole strategy for selling this movie was "maybe if we wait long enough to make a new one, people will forget how freaking awful this franchise has been".

I'm just surprised when I see people looking at the trailer and saying "OMG this looks awesome!". It doesn't even look good for summer popcorn crap. The CGI looks horrible (and I rarely complain about CGI), the dialogue looks like it belongs in a D movie, and the "plot" is recycled and laughable. It looks like Avatar without the best in class 3D gimmick, which was pretty much the only thing that was interesting about Avatar.

I turn it on for like 3 seconds to see what a movie is all about to know whether or not I might like it. That 3 seconds is invaluable.

:yes: This movie will suck as much as the Poltergeist remake. Mark it down.
