Mini-Teaser Debuts First Footage of Jurassic World

[Scarim Coral]

I suppose looking at it now, it make perfect sense to do another one (technology wise). In saying so, no matter how much tech they got, they still cannot restain the pure primative might of the dinosaurs!!!

I don't get that train of thought, JP1 looks awesome even today, I actually preferred it to JP3.
That said they could do a 'remastered' HD version on bluray using the original film and modern CGI if people find it that bad, it'd cost less and be received far better.

I don't like being a stick in the mud, so I do apologize for the following.

DO NOT GET EXCITED!

Wait for the reviews to come in. One of the major sticking points is whether or not the effects will be as good as 1 and 2 or as mediocre as 3.

EDIT:
How embarrassing would it be if the effects weren't as good as the presented 21 years ago by the same franchise?

 

[PainInTheAssInternet]

Ugh, really? I understand that movie making is a business and you want to wring every last dollar out of those IPs, but it's seriously time to let this one die.

The original was a passable but heavily truncated adaptation of a fantastically intelligent and speculative book; a movie that was fortunate enough to be filmed when digital effects were opening up new possibilities for animation and the general obsession that children have with dinosaurs was ripe to be tapped by an aggressive cross-promotion campaign with Hasbro and McDonalds. Please, for the love of god, stop flogging the dead horse.

I actually liked the movie more than the book. I thought it made more sense, John Hammond was sympathetic instead of a cold-hearted bastard and Malcolm wasn't as irritating.

I really want this to be a good film - Jurassic Park is one of my favourites, remember getting the film on VHS back in the day. I also remember my friend screaming in terror in the cinema during the Dilophosaur attack scene, but that's another story.

Seeing that this is set on the same island as the original film, it makes me wonder about the effort required to turn an island where dinosaurs have been allowed to have the run of things for 20-odd years back into a tourist attractions that's actually safe for humans to visit again...

 

[vid87]

And the day is saved when Rocket Raccoon takes on a T-Rex in fisticuffs, wins, and claims the island as its prize, making a jumping off platform for how dinosaurs will make an appearance under the Guardians' command in Avengers 3.

............

Can this happen?....Please O.O

Just had an image of the guardians riding Dinosaurs into battle against Thanos, with Rocket Racoon riding a Raptor, Starlord on a Trex, Gammora on a Triceratops, Groot on a Stegosaurus and Drax on a Spinosaurus....

This needs to happen....NOW!

This would be the most amazingly covert way to introduce the Savage Land into the MCU.

 

[SonOfVoorhees]

"Story details have been closely-guarded, but are heavily rumored to include a conflict between the "natural" dinosaurs of the original films and a new breed of hybrid, genetically-modified "mutant" dinos created to boost attendance with more aggressive, "scary" attractions."

Okay, that would suuuuuuuck.

The new big bad is a Trex/Velociraptor cross breed so i guess that explains why it exists.

 

[Metalrocks]

i have high doubts about this one. can they make the trex as memorable or the scary kitchen scene that still keeps on my edge of the seat? most likely not but i guess i have to wait before i make any kind of judgement.
i think we can all agree that part 1 was awesome. part 2 was rather meh, but at least the book was good. part3.....lets not go in to this direction. clearly the worst JP ever.

hard to believe now that part 1 came out 21 years ago and i still think it looks amazing to some movies from today.

 

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

JP3 did set the bar pretty low, so there is a fairly good chance this will be a good movie.

Well, I completely disagree. The flawed personalities of Hammond, Muldoon, Wu, Harding, Gennaro and Arnold are a lot more interesting than the sanitized personalities of their movie equivalents. The movie makes them all out to be gentle, good-natured people who are unfairly screwed over by Dodgson and Nedry, but in the book you see how they are ultimately complicit in Jurassic Park's downfall from the very start.

In the movie, Nedry is basically the sole reason everything collapses in the park. In the book, Nedry is just the catalyst for the inevitable collapse that ultimately comes from Hammond's hubris. It's a much more intelligent narrative than the cheesy Hollywood version.

I'm a huge fan of the "God is Dead" method of criticism, so I typically ignore Spielberg's intent. A good example of this is the 2nd JP, as I see his heroes as the villains since they get dozens killed and show no remorse for it.

I saw Hammond's character in the book as a generic finger-twirly evil capitalist that I had grown tired of at the time I saw it. I see the movie version as the mirrored version of him, he's well-meaning but profoundly flawed in such a way that it gets people killed. He's a child who cannot grasp the magnitude of his creation so he doesn't feel the need to put extra effort into containing them. For that reason, I always thought his motto of "spared no expense" rang hollow as he clearly spared expense.

Why does he only have one underpaid programmer capable of designing the necessary system? Because he didn't want to hire a team.

Why was Muldoon the only staff member on site capable of handling a gun even with a whole shed of high powered weapons? Read previous answer.

Why were tourists there when a staff member had died and everyone else left thanks to an impending hurricane? Because he didn't take everything seriously enough and had way too much confidence in a system he had no comprehension of.

Why did their safeguards fail? Hammond had no patience for proper science and rushed the results. He then refused to enact the lysine contingency because he still very much cared about the park and its animals even when people around him were dying.

In conclusion, instead of his not caring about the park all that much and being a general dick, Movie Hammond cared too much about the park yet didn't respect it. That lack of respect on both of their behalf is what lead to the downfall of the park. In both instances, he is the central figure and the root cause of other issues.

As for other characters, it's 1 hour 30 minutes so they get the shaft in favour of the main attraction.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Chris Pratt! I saw Chris Pratt! Story will most likely be terrible, but Chris Pratt is in it!

Maybe he'll dance off against a T-Rex.

 

[McGuinty1]

Is it just me or do the Gallimimus not really look significantly better than they did in the first movie? I hope it's just because it's not totally finished effects in that shot and still needs polishing before release.

 

[Jadak]

How does Chris Pratt find the time?

Well, between this, Parks and Recreation, and the absolutely nothing else currently listed for him on IMDB, I wouldn't think it'd be too hard....

Ok yes it's true that the special effect is still amazing in the film but none the less today graphic is usually top notch used in most films. Even then the film still fell outdated by the "computer system" used in the film. Hey remember when people think future computer system was going to be totally VR?! Ok they weren't toally wrong (oculus rift) but I still laugh when the past people think that was the way in the future (Command and Conquer did it aswell)).
That shot with that woman with several screens in front of her and that large screen look like a refreshing update to the tech.

 

[Symbio Joe]

So the worst we can get is a more expensive Crocosaurus vs. Megashark? I can live with that. What I won't take is the uneccessary 3d that will come with it.

 

[Micalas]

...but are heavily rumored to include a conflict between the "natural" dinosaurs of the original films and a new breed of hybrid, genetically-modified "mutant" dinos....

...and if they manage to pull this off without it looking like bad fanfiction, I will be unutterably surprised.

You haven't heard the monstrosity of a plot that Jurassic Park 4 was supposed to be, have you?

Here's how it could be worse than that:

Spoiler

Kind of hoping it doesn't turn into an anti-GMO diatribe going on about how you shouldn't "play god" or whatever by investing in practical sciences, especially since the takeaway from Jurassic Park: Lost World was about humanity's responsibility to be careful of our impact on the environment and to behave ethically with respect to wildlife.

Is that supposed to be concept art for the previous story? It looks like one of the missions from Gantz.

 

[Mike Fang]

Oh God...I foresee a scene in which Jeff Goldblum is yelling at a group of geneticists and business execs "DO YOU PEOPLE NEVER LEARN?!"

 

[Micalas]

Yep, it involved human-dinosaur hybrids threatening the whole world. Really, thats what they came up with for Jurassic Park 4.

It sounds like that would be a fun movie to watch. But not as a Jurassic Park movie. Kind of the same problem Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within had. It was a neat movie, but it probably would've been more favorable received if it wasn't attached to the Final Fantasy name.
