I did see that in 3d. There were like 3 scenes that were cool but the movie was terrible, but let's not derail this thread.


The 3D was objectively fantastic on that movie considering it was filmed and built from the ground up with 3D in mind.

But agree, let's not derail.

I've never seen a 3d movie that was worth it.


I don't care for it (compared to the praise it got) but Avatar in 3D was good.

I also saw Dr. Strange 1 in 3D and that was fun. I don't use, but if feel like that movie in 3D while high would have been a lot of fun.

My biggest problem was why the Mosaurus was being friends with the whales at the end. It's going to attack a fishing boat for a few pounds of crabs, but not devour two massive lunches?

Yeah, the "living in harmony" montage at the end was so overly sentimental, to the point of ridiculousness. I like ending on that basic montage/idea, but there were a million less ridiculous situations to convey it.

That said, the more time passes, the more I kind of sort of liked the movie overall? Or, rather, it's getting incrementally less worse?

There was no saving the franchise after the atrocity of Fallen Kingdom. This was a mess and a bad movie but kind of entertaining if you kept your expectations low.

They jumped the shark when they moved into human cloning and auctioning off dinosaurs for a couple million to mustache twirling billionaires.

How did it end up in the ocean to start with?? It was in a swimming pool on an exploding volcano.

My wife and I literally LOL'd so loud in the last couple of minutes that people in front of us turned around and looked and our 13 year old got embarrassed. And the Pterodactyls flying off the lake in harmony with ducks (no stupid they would be eating them). If this were real life, we could blame inflation on dinosaurs eating the domestic meat supply and locusts wrecking the farms. It's not my fault! - /current US POTUS (either party).

As Yellowpot noted , bio-engineered locusts equal end of the world. 100 species of dinosaurs roaming the planet, well we'll just learn to co-exist. LMAO. I can't believe Spielberg allowed his name in the credits.

Like the last film, the most fun was simply not taking it seriously and laughing at it. Some of the action sequences were good for sure. But this is just an all time high of incredibly ridiculous film making. And frankly, it's a massive steamer on the world that Chrichton so brilliantly created.

My personal favorite was ejecting Claire into a dinosaur-infested forest, miles from the Biosyn labs, so she could be the one to rescue clone girl, only for Owen and the pilot to crash land, not a scratch on them, basically AT the labs.

Well that was boring.

I was deceived into thinking this would be a movie dealing predominantly with how a world is dealing with dinosaurs being a part of life, Instead I got a James Bond imitation plot with dinosaurs stuck in the background .

The main villain looked and sounded like Tim Cook from Apple. I wonder if that was on purpose.

They really were going out of their way to cover up Bryce Dallas Howard, weren't they.

So dinosaurs roaming the earth aren't going to wreck the food chain on earth? We're going to just coexist?

At the beginning of the last one, they sent in a group to recover remains of the indoraptor that the mosasaur grabbed off the dock at the end of the first movie. Something happened to the gate that kept the mosasaur in the lagoon, and it didn't close fully. That's how it got out. If memory serves.

Like you said miles apart, yet they end up at the same tree house in the middle of the Dino forest without the kid. And then the three OGs rescue the kid and end up at the exact same treehouse.
The whole thing was just dumb and lazy.

A few things I did really like about the movie

1) The use of the piano version of the JP theme for Grant & Sattler's reunion. They played it when Sattler and Hammond are eating ice cream during the original film.

2) What I can only assume was an in-joke by the director when Malcolm says, "Jurassic World? Yeah, not a fan."

3) The Trikes and the elephants in the last shot - my favorite dinosaur and my favorite animal

4) Pretty much anything with the original 3. Once their storyline started, I ceased caring about Starlord and company and I do love me some Starlord in most instances.

5) How disgusting the locusts were. If I saw one of those things on my fence I would not approach it without a flamethrower.

6) Malcolm's lecture on wielding technology to the young Biosyn employees.

7) The fact that Biosyn's CEO got taken out the same way Nedry did, while also in possession of the Barbasol can.

Just got out a little while ago.

I actually really liked it a lot.
I have 3 large gripes. I did not like the CGI Dino's at the start, I was taking to myself this does not look good, but then it got better. I did not like how easily characters got from point A to point B so effortlessly and always knew what to do. My last gripe was the end battle, it just happened, and then it was over… like really quickly.

For me it was a perfect mixture of Park & World cast members and Maisie was the glue that connected them all together.

I also thought it was a great wrap of 6 movies. If you look at the Jurassic movies not about Dinosaurs, BUT as a movie about genetics where Dino's are the byproduct then this 6th movie to me makes so much for senses.

Watching the Camp Cretaceous shows on Netflix helps fill in the gaps with all of Biosyn

The dilophosaurus for me stole the show in every scene they were in. And when I first heard their noise I was like oh heck yea!!!
My 10 y.o. loves this show and gets more excited about a release of a new season then me for the start of football season. She loves JP and JW, so she loved the movie, and I just had to keep telling myself, "suspension of disbelief" over several of the more predictable parts. Kids will like the movie.

Wife and I are watching it and enjoying it. Favorite part is when they're at the original visitors center and talking about Hammond.

Likely the worst movie of all 6. Runtime was too long, and so many storylines that just couldn't capture interest due to lack of development and closure. Trying to overlook that because of nostalgia, callbacks or cg dinosaurs just proved too much. Sad, slow played death of a great movie that's 30 years old.

I leaned over half way through the movie and whispered to my wife "Uhhhh, excuse me, this movie does have DINOSAURS in it? "

Plot was all over the place and generally horrible.

Looks like it took quite the drop this Friday. Think TG may be passing it back up in a week or so.

Something I just heard on a podcast that is so emblematic of how dumb/inconsistent this movie is...

Besides the obvious logic reasons I stated earlier as to why the entire sequence is terrible, when Claire ejects and Owen/De crash land... the water reserve is obviously FROZEN at the damn, and there's SNOW everywhere, but then, where Claire is - just a few miles away, if that - it's basically a TROPICAL climate, and not at all cold, where Claire has zero issue going under water to hide from that one dinosaur. Never mind the fact that Owen never dries off after swimming in freezing cold water, the entire logic of that whole sequence/area is just so lazy and so dumb.

Still a solid hold on the weekend overall though, especially considering the reviews and going up against Lightyear. (-61%)

I mean I don't want to defend this movie, but I think the climate change is due to altitude. It's a valley surrounded by mountains, so the climate in the valley is different. Obviously that is a huge change but \_()_/

Yeah that didn't bug me. Driving up to Ruidoso one time, the climate literally went from warm desert to snow covered pines in a matter of about 2 minutes.

On screen, it didn't appear to be *that* much of an elevation change, but I guess I can accept that.
