@@DarkSlushie But... that does not make much sense either. Chameleons cannot camouflage with a colour change. They do it for communication and heat regulation... The best concealment it could do is turning dark or into some shade of green. Or simply hiding in some large bushes - that would work much better anyways.

Imagine there was only one zoo in the world, and it was in the middle of nowhere. Might be a buzz when it first opens but if its hard to get to and really really expensive then once all the super rich people have been, normal people are just not gonna want to/be able to go. And the novelty would've worn off for those who had managed to go there before if nothing much has changed at the zoo.

[@Maxiom5]

The dinosaurs in this movie behave so inconsistently that its almost farcical. The Raptors are prime examples of this. Start of the movie: They're like lions. Chris Pratt has the bare minimum amount of control over them. They'll hesitate, but if he turns around they'll jump him Like an hour later: The raptors are goddamn Labrador retrievers. They let them loose and they don't go attacking ANYONE. Chris Pratt rides alongside them on his motorcycle and they think he's one of them. Like 2 minutes after that: They actually act like fucking velociraptors, but only because a dinosaur with some nebulous ~RAPTOR DNA~ stared at them for like 5 seconds which APPARENTLY makes sense even though its clearly a different species. 30 minutes later: Chris Pratt looks the raptors in the eye and uses friendship to win them back over like a goddamn pokemon trainer and they're on his side the rest of the movie. Like, if they just chose ONE of these and stuck with it, I'd be fine! But the fact that the raptors have NO consistency in their behavior at all just makes the whole thing SO stupid.

[@yarpen26]

I feel like punching everybody who bumbles like a drunken maniac about how "awesome" these motorcycle-buddy raptors are... *no, they're fucking not!* Remember how we were scared shitless of these bastards?

I come back to this once in a while to revisit the shock of mike liking it.

[@WrathClub]

I think the biggest thing that doesn't work is that the kids were COMPLETELY separate from the other characters for 90% of the film. They didn't contribute to the plot at large other than motivation for the female lead, and as far as character building they kinda just existed in this little bubble of a 1 dimensional "goody two shoes kid and rebellious teenager" dynamic. As a result the film is this disjointed back and forth between pointless scenes helpless kids running from dinosaurs and plot scenes that pretty frequently have to devolve into characters spitting exposition into each others faces because they're working on double time. A lot of the scenes work fine despite this but the movie would've been a lot stronger if the kids were either not there or paired up with some of the adult characters sooner.

[@blacklespaul01]

Lyle McDouchebag Spoiler's Ahead Jurassic World? Seriously though, I hated how the kids were plot-armored audience stand-ins. They were able to magically start a Jeep that hadn't run in twenty-some years because they worked on a car one time, when they were in danger they were always able to immediately laugh it off somehow, and they made infuriating commentary on the events of the film that's supposed to make the audience agree with them and like the movie more. Like, three times in the movie ruined interesting action moments with the piece of shit kids saying something like "Cool!" or "That was awesome!".

[@blacklespaul01]

How was everything in this movie not over done, Mike? A fully functioning park after the plot of the first movie; genetically altered super dinosaur; Chris Pratt and his raptor friends. The movie felt like a cartoon, which was in harsh contrast with the original which felt very real. The original had a central theme surrounding chaos theory and life always finding a way; this was characterized with Alan Grant learning to love children, causing life to find a way. Everything that could have happened during the film did happen, it was utter chaos and nothing went according to plan. What was so disappointing about the sequels is that they ignored all of this and just said "ooh, scary dinosaurs, watch out!" This movie was just another mediocre sequel. Please, if there was any substance to this movie I'm missing, I'm all ears. What I saw was Jurassic Park: The Animated Series made for Kids WB.

[@Hudathan]

The fact that this movie is the highest grossing of all time and that it was actually personally recommended to me is the greatest proof that there is no accounting for taste.

[@bryanchu5379]

The twist is that Mike was being sarcastic the whole time.

[@oskararnarson]

I respect your opinion Mike... But I have to say, it was unexpected. SPOILERS below. Here are my primary problems with the movie. You can call it nitpicking... - The boys, didn't buy their bond at all. Their relationship lacked color and their characters as well. And as Jay pointed out, I really really hate it when people act cool when a monster is about to eat them. They should not be going "Yeah uhm, lemme just get my phone". They should be going ""#FSHKNR$OJSFHPN!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAARRR AAAARR" non stop, just freaking the f*** out. - The JP scientist (BD Wong). He wasn't convincing nor was his role in the film. Evil genius mastermind who had a boner for the military... I don't know, it was off. - The main bad guy, Vincent D'Onofrio. He was like a cartoon villain and acted in ways you simply couldn't take seriously. His plan to weaponize the raptors was something that shouldn't have been in this film. - The hamster ball. There were way too many logical problems that were annoying such as Jay pointed out. Of course you would be able to shut down a vehicle from the NASA control room. Or at least communicate with it. I mean come on! The only way to reach it was by calling the boys' mobiles. But the signal wasn't good enough. This was very distracting. Also, did we need the explanation of how the scene that followed would work from Jimmy Fallon, was that really the best way of explaining the rules to the audience? - The nostalgia trip with the two boys, felt very off. So did the entire staff of Jurassic World forget about this cave that all the main characters stumbled upon or did they decide to leave all the equipment in there to rot and not touch anything for decades? I would have loved it if they had established it earlier in the movie that the boys could fix a car somehow and not through 1 line of dialog: "You remember how we fixed grandpa's car?". Such a messy way of making sense of that. - The meaningless divorce. Why was it even mentioned? It went nowhere. It was briefly mentioned as a theory from the younger boy in a dialog. Seriously, what was that about? That was a loose end I would have been happy without. - Chris Pratt's co-worker guy (Omar Sy). They gave him nothing to do. The same goes for the lab geek wearing the Jurassic Park t-shirt. He did nothing... Just nothing. He made some bad jokes at crucial moments where people should have been freaking out. For me the humor should have been a bit more subtle. He decides to stay behind when everything is going to hell... And then does nothing. I heard somewhere that he is this movie's Samuel L. Jackson... How did we arrive to that conclusion? Was it his glasses? - The movie suggested: "Maybe you can use these animals as weapons". That's what the bad guy wanted and it was such an unnecessary plot, I'm baffled it got into the film. But the theme of the movie is "Don't mess with nature". However, somehow that was twisted around in the end where the raptors, actually saved the day and attacked the big monster dinosaur on command. So my takeaway was: "Ok the bad guy was right. You can in fact use them as a weapon". - I hate how they took away the mysterious quality of the velociraptors. They turned them into puppies. This is almost the equivalent of what they did to the force in the Star Wars prequels. Remember the beginning scene of Jurassic Park? That creature now has a night vision camera on its head and is running alongside a guy on a motorcycle to hunt down a giant dinosaur. And the nod from the raptor at the end of the movie... It was just too much for me. - It was established early on in the film that the velociraptor siblings learned social skills and could therefore communicate and whatever. However, the monster T-rex raptor was alone in a cage and didn't learn anything like that. THE MOMENT it meets the other raptors it goes: "Hey we should all attack the humans". And boom, done deal. The raptors are now the humans' enemies. - The use of the iconic JP theme score by John Williams. It was a weak scene and the music just wasn't made for a scene like that. It was made for seeing a dinosaur for the first time, not seeing a theme park for the first time. - The poor use of the great sea dinosaur. Of all these cgi characters that one was actually pretty intriguing. But it just didn't get its scene. It would have been fantastic to actually see a character we cared about swimming through that tank. Such a missed opportunity. Instead it was just a part of the chaos which ultimately belonged to the flying dinosaurs. What I did like about this movie: Chris Pratt Bryce Dallas Howard (but her character could have been better written though) Irrfan Khan Sea monster Flying dinosaurs I've only seen it once, maybe I'll enjoy it more in the second viewing.

[@robohobo22]

[@z-beeblebrox]

oskararnarson "The movie suggested: "Maybe you can use these animals as weapons". That's what the bad guy wanted and it was such an unnecessary plot, I'm baffled it got into the film." Actually, the original script's core plot was all about genetically modified Raptor soldiers. The confusion shouldn't be how it got *in* the movie, but why they never properly took it *out*. That's also why Chris Pratt's character was a former military guy, because that was necessary for the original plot. There are so many vestigial details left in this movie that made sense in the schlocky original script and have no place in the final movie.

[@oskararnarson]

Frizzurd Hmm I don't think so.

z beeblebrox Yeah, I remember that script. It's something that was so out there that I was actually kind of impressed that it was ever on the table... or any table for that matter. Maybe it would have been an interesting film. Especially if they had Americanized it and sent the dinosoldiers to Afghanistan or Iraq to take out terrorists. The Hurt Locker with dinosoldiers. It's bound to happen sooner or later. Or maybe they could team up with the Avengers for one last skyscraper fight.

Having a scene where the characters talk about product placement, and make a clever, funny joke about the product placement? Makes sense. Having Chris Pratt fixing a bike, drinking a glass coca-cola with the logo pointed directly at the camera, and holding a shot just a second to long to be comfortable and natural just to show him drinking it? Come on, do they think we're really too dumb to notice, or to not realize what they're doing? I should end this by saying that I did enjoy the film overall, but I acknowledge it's flaws and would put up little resistance against someone who would attack it, because, frankly, I know it wan't "amazing" or "perfect", I wouldn't even say it was "great". Just "good" would be fine.

Laykun9000 It's interesting how such pointless, lazy callbacks are lambasted by these guys in the Star Wars prequels, the new Star Trek's utter ripping off of Wrath of Khan's iconic scenes with none of the emotional depth, and the recent Terminator movie (which they basically ripped into more pieces than that intern in this movie... too soon?) but they totally skip the same issues of laziness here.

[@yoshen433]

1. Watching both trailers before the movie revealed every single essential plot point, thus removing most of the suspense and tension. 2. More plot conveniences than I could count. For example erratic phone/radio signal cutouts (used on multiple occasions) as a vehicle for building tension. 3. Dinosaurs acting irrationally, also for the sake of building tension, and allowing for "Wow" shots. For example: In an earlier scene Chris Pratt uses the gasoline from a truck to mask his scent from the indominus rex, then later Chris Pratt + Bryce Howard, hide in front of a truck in a garage, the dinosaur sticks his head into the garage, smells, then retracts his head, waiting shortly before deciding to smash through the roof. 4. The older brother was an unredeemable asshole. Although later attempts to make him more relatable were obvious; he was portrayed as such a dick in the first half of the movie, that I found when he did decide to drop the teenage cynic act, he had nothing to offer in terms of relatability. 5. General unconvincing child acting. One particular scene frustrated me particularly, when the brothers were on the run, and paused to count 1, 2, 3, before jumping down the waterfall, seemed ridiculous, just for the sake of narrowly missing the dinosaur's jaws. The same effect could have been had if the indominus rex had actually caught up to the brothers (more realistic), allowing for the exact same shot but without the irrational countdown. 6. Blatant disregard for animal welfare. Allowing a teenager and a young boy complete navigational access to a giant perspex ball, in a herd of million-pound dinosaurs seemed questionable if not stupid. 7. No punitive or moral repercussions even mentioned regarding Bryce Howard's character, despite her direct involvement in the deaths of numerous park goers. 8. Laughable end fight scene.

[@Latetothegame]

The real problem with this movie was that no one you cared about died. Every death except the bad military guy and the billionaire were just nameless faceless nobody's. They didn't even take time to flesh out the assistant girl. I only felt any emotion or tension when the raptors died. Freaking cgi raptors had more character development than like 90% of the human cast.

SonicLamb alright maybe "cared about" wasn't exactly what I meant but we at least knew them. Yeah the lawyer and Nedry were assholes but at least we knew that about them before they died. They had character, they had a motivation, they had a personality. So did Muldoon and Samuel L Jackson. Like sure maybe chain smoking and "hold on to your butts" isn't super strong character development, but at least it's something. Not two twelve man teams of nameless guys that get ripped to shreds before you even see their face.

[@pollo20x6]

One of the parts that bothered me the most was the British woman who had to take care of the kids' death. The flying dino scene had some light hearted moments with the extra carrying the drinks. And a lot of the kills were implied in that we never actually see any. We see people getting picked off, but it's all in the mass hysteria. And then this lady gets killed off in one of the most horrific deaths in the whole movie. We're with her the whole time and it's all close and personal. And I'm just like "we're we supposed to hate her?" It was just so brutal. That kinda death happens to the bad guy. You wanna see it happen when they finally get their comeuppance. Vincent's was much less drawn out. What warranted such a drawn out death for the random assistant? Or like the lawyer in Jurassic Park. He wasn't a bad guy, but when he abandons the kids and gets killed, it was like "that's what he gets for being a coward". This woman committed the crime of being on her phone and losing track of the kids. But once she finds the kids again, she shows legitimate concern for their well-being, so it wasn't like she was a mean person. It just seemed like a death out of a horror movie. Cruel and unnecessary. It completely broke the tone of the scene for me. It did not blend well with the funnier moments and the character did nothing to warrant such a constructed death. Felt like shock value for the sake of shock value and added nothing to the story. We already knew of the giant water dino and we already knew the dinos were vicious. At least in my opinion.

Finally watched Jurassic World and I fell somewhere in between Mike and Jay. I enjoyed it on a dumb summer fun level, I appreciated that it was kept simple like the original, I liked the commentary/satire on "bigger = better," but I also didn't like the D'Onofrio subplot and had trouble with some of the logic. The hamster ball thing was fun but in no realistic universe would a park ever let the visitors control their own hamster ball. Also why wasn't the kids' ball recalled once they started shutting everything down? I agree with Jay that the kids didn't ever seem like they were all that terrified. The kids in the original film gave much more credible performances. This movie borrowed a little too heavily from Aliens at times, and of course the ending was right out of Deep Blue Sea and made me laugh. Giant shark jumps out of tank and snatches dinosaur. Come on Colin! But overall I give it a mild thumbs up.

I would of like this movie more if they explained why the park finally worked. We literally had 3 movies showing us why a Park would never work and all of a sudden the park works but they don't explain why this time is any different from last time. The flare scene made no sense at all.

[@BadMomentum]

Movie 2 and 3 took place on a different island. Isla Sorna, site B. So they only had to reclaim Isla Nubla from the first movie for Jurassic world. It's also long been established that the dinosaurs were genetically modified to be lysine deficient and dependent. Without a constant source they die. Now to reclaim Isla Nubla they only had 1 raptor (locked in the power generator room) which had no food or water and probably died. And the one T-rex which they captured as it's the same one in the new movie. Some small dinos like the dilophosaurus are dangerous but not if the came back well equipped.

[@D4inJPN]

GodzillaGuy92 That's exactly what I was thinking during that scene. And I didn't like how the T-Rex turned into a pet that they call on to save the day. It felt very Godzilla-esque to me.

[@charlesdecharleroy7209]

D4inJPN Except this park kinda ended up not working... for rather obvious reasons... maybe they should stop hiring Minions to do the work. That tends not to work out so well. ;D

[@yarpen26]

One of the interesting points in the original Chrichton novel that never made it into the movie was the part when they say the dilophosaurus made a couple of park workers go blind because the paleontologists never suspected it might spit toxine. Now _that_ was an example of the inherent unpredictability of a long-extinct species. Sadly, the rest of the movie features actions by dinosaurs which really could have been prevented, most notably in terms of raptor intelligence. Muldoon (who in the book was an incompetent drunkard by the way) falls into their trap not because he had no way of knowing they would be this smart in terms of hunting tactics but because he was dumb enough not to research some apparently very common knowledge (seeing as Grant explains it long before he gets any knowledge of dinosaur cloning). Them opening the doors? For all we know, might have been just a pure coincidence-even a chimp would probably think to press on a door handle if it was stuck inside a room for a long enough period of time.
