One question though....

Is it just me or in Jurassic Worlds time line does site B not exist at all? If it did, wouldn't they have raised I-Rex there while building the containment instead of building the containment on the main island with so many things that could (and ultimately do) go wrong?

If you're thinking about plot, you've got the wrong movie.

Unclear, since it appears that JP 2 and 3 didn't happen. Or maybe JP 2 did happen and the island is just too far gone. I'm guessing there is no site B.

And how would you transfer that thing between islands?

Well, they also probably should've said "since these have eaten everything in sight several times now, should we really try this no matter what the crazy old guy wanted?"

Saw it last week, and it was terrible. Like the last Transformers level terrible. Wife and I just couldn't believe how bad it was.

SPOILERS BELOW













Good: special effects were amazing, and they nailed the zoo/Sea World/Disney World on a tropical island vibe. Chris Pratt was good, and so was the crazy owner. Final fight scene was awesome. My wife was chanting "Let them fight" like Ken Watanabe in Godzilla.

Bad: where to start? the "villain" dinosaur was ridiculous. We kept throwing even more outlandish villainy for the dinosaur, and the movie would meet or top it every time. For instance, I turn to my wife and suggest the super-dinosaur has hacked the thermal imaging and is still in the enclosure. Then we joke about it taking out its tracking device with a knife. I mean come on, the dinosaur clearly could not reach its own back in the final scenes. HTH did it claw out the tracking device, really? Close enough. We then laugh about it uncloaking like the Predator, and then it does. Then we laugh about how it's probably not hungry, just out for blood. Then we giggle about not sending the raptors after it, because it's a dinosaur and of course it would speak raptor. Then the damn thing actually speaks freaking raptor! I'm still surprised it didn't have a Terminator endoskeleton. I thought I nailed that prediction.

The characters were absolute morons. Let's run away from our nanny, get on a ride, not come back when the ride closes, and instead head off into the wilderness. It's like they were trying to win a Darwin Award or something. Later, we've got Evil-o-saurus, flying predators (why did they still have these, didn't they see Jurassic Park 3?), and some one thinks its a good idea to release raptors? But no, its okay. We have the Raptor-whisperer. No really, I wanted him to ride one by the end of the movie like Jesus in the atheist memes.

Every emotional scene was forced (we just jumped off a cliff and could still die any moment = bro-ment) or (I hate you, you're hot, I hate you, you're hot, okay lets kiss) or (I just send my suicidal kids to spend time with their workaholic aunt who doesnt care about them on an island full of killer dinosaurs and now I'M WORRIED).

TLDNR- Huge budget ScyFy original movie

while all of your complaints are perfectly valid, i'm confused why anyone would want more than this one-sentence summary. this movie was ****ing fun.

WOW. The official numbers just came in and JW actually had the highest grossing weekend domestically as well, with $209M. Jurassic World now boast the highest opening weekend of all time, both internationally AND domestically...

http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2015/06/15/weekend-box-office-jurassic-world-scores-record-breaking-209m-us-debut/

OK, the whole premise of the Indominus Rex getting out is they think it climbed the wall b/c there are some scratches on the wall!!! Uh, hey, fat security guy eating chips(yeah, you knew he was getting eaten as soon as you saw him) did you see anything....thermal scanners nothing....so we wait until bad-haircut redhead is driving back to the main control room to check the animals tracker, and don't bother to check any video BEFORE we jump into the pen? Oh, what about those workers outside the pen..did they see anything no hablos I guess! And the lowly security guy also has the code to open the animal pen....c'mon.

Lets use a little more imagination in letting the thing out. At least with JP1 they used industrial espionage to get the ball rolling. It was believable how things cascaded out of control. Yeah, suspension of disbelief b/c it's a dinosaur movie, but let's not make EVERYONE in the film a complete retard in regards to safety protocol before entering the pen of an eating machine. You'd think they'd take a few more steps to make sure the animal was in fact out of its pen before strolling in.

I see people all the time at my work who rely on remote sensors for detection completely lose their marbles over a faulty sensors. So I found that plausible. What was suspect to me was how the lowly security guy just opened the gate so easily. I mean even the raptor cage had backup containment on its gate. But I didn't care. The dino needed to get out for lunch.

Liked the movie and agree that it's probably the second best in the series. Required more suspension of reality/rational thinking than some of the others but hey, it is a dinosaur movie.

Don't really like where it looks like they are heading. If the next one has raptors with machine guns mounted on them and it's basically "call of duty world war 3: the Dino wars" I'm out.

They had always tracked her with the infra before, and then she beat it with her camo trick, which they didn't know she could do. I seem to remember that they did check the video monitors. Under the circumstances, assuming she was gone makes sense. Easy conclusion to jump to.

Obviously you're right and they should have been more careful. But, you're missing the narrative point of that sequence, which is to demonstrate the advanced problem solving intelligence of the IRex. The humans had to make a mistake so the dino could get the upper hand, unless you would rather the IRex actually be smarter than a human.

Complaining about this sort of thing is like complaining about the girl in a horror movie running up the stairs to escape the serial killer.

I think my point was they could have been more creative about how the IRex escapes...just to many holes in the swiss cheese on this one.

And non-lethal weapons to bring her down.....a net 5'-net and some cattle prods...c'mon. You can't pay someone enough money to take THAT job.

I just want Hollywood to get their writing and story telling up to snuff for a movie everyone know would be a huge summer block buster. It's like they're not even trying.

I'll admit it was entertaining and fun. Worth the $5 matinee admission for me and the kids.

Hollywood doesn't have to write anything. They've proven that by the mill of superhero movies and sequels. We'll go see anything and like it. Built in young male audience. Apparently we have nothing better to do.

Less than five superhero movies come out per year

if I wanted a long, boring movie I'd go see JW again

You make me sad.

I make myself sad too. When I dislike a movie, I usually let it go but this one hurt me. It was similar to Phantom Menace in that regard. I like dinosaurs, theme parks, summer blockbusters, the original JP, Pratt, violent movies, and nostalgia so I thought this was gonna be right in my wheelhouse.

I'm sure there are other films that fill that void ahead of JW. I would think that Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy would probably be more apt, at least IMO.

Agreed cup. Only reason I posted on here venting about it is because it was so disappointing.

One of the first people to get ate by the I-Rex was that blue-shirted brown person.

For those that think the original JP was several levels above this one in quality, I'd be curious to know how old you were when JP came out. I was 19 at the time and a student at A&M, and while I really enjoyed it, I'd put it firmly in the popcorn category with this one. In many cases, I think being a kid when the first one came out left a bigger impression as to its quality and where you hold it when looking back.

In the first, you had Newman Newmaning - the silly meeting in his first scene at the outdoor restaurant, his maniacal giggling throughout, the cliche "oops I knocked the arrow sign down and don't know which fork in the road to take", the silly tech factor (especially when he pops up on the computer). Then there was Jeff Goldblum Jeff Goldblumming to the max. The cliche kids out of nowhere, not unlike this one.

while maybe JW isn't a better movie overall, I did think this one is superior in 2 ways - I found Pratt's character more likeable than any in the first, and I thought some of the humor was higher quality. A lot of the humor in the first one was almost slapstick (including "look at the fat guy fall down").

Granted, this one had marginally more of a farfectched factor, but the first one wasn't?

I love JP, but people do forget that a principal plot point involved dinosaurs changing sex. Even for this to happen the geneticists had to use frog DNA to fill sequence gaps, despite dinosaurs having no evolutionary relationship to frogs. And Grant figured this out immediately, but it had never occurred to the geneticists that built them.

But the biggest issue with this in the movie is that it has nothing to do with anything. If there were no male dinos in JP (the movie), how does it change anything? The theme of Life Finds A Way actually never even relates to the events of the movie, which are entirely set in motion by Nedry.

This.

I was 10 when JP came out, but didn't see it until several years later after I was old enough to read the book. The original JP was fun, but it wasn't as great as many make it out to be (besides the book was better).

It seems like those that are disappointed in JW are the ones who built JP up with nostalgia rather than looking at it critically and identifying it's plot holes.

The first JP did suspense a lot better. JW is a lot more "action movie". Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I enjoyed both movies quite a lot.

Yes, I agree that the first took a longer, bigger suspense buildup while this one was definitely more action oriented. But I still enjoyed the suspense in this one as well.
