Okay, so remind me what the RT scores (both critic and audience) for Jurassic World and Camp Cretaceous are...
@SasquaDash
… What? I’m criticizing the direction a good franchise has taken due to careless production and plots that run almost purely from the nostalgia and successes of previous films and implementing characters that are so bland or annoying that you can’t help but become fixated on how they made it into production… I’m not being a jerk, I’m again, offering criticism, you just have a problem with how it differs from your own opinion. The way I see it, the only way to enjoy a movie like Fallen Kingdom is if you actively try to find reasons to like it, there’s really nothing at face value to have much enjoyment from it.
To prove a point, TRYING to make a good movie and please fans shouldn't result in a 47% critic score and 48% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes…
Well, I was considering having a nice conversation about the series, but if you're going to act like a jerk and lash out at people, I guess there's no reason to continue this conversation.
@SasquaDash
Making a sore attempt at adding a little scientific accuracy while ignoring the fact Giganotsaurus didn’t live in North America and neither did Oviraptor, Dreanoughtus and Iguanadon is indicative of carelessness in writing. If they wanted to set up a fight between the two, it could have been done differently. Tell me again how great of a movie Fallen Kingdom was, I’ll wait. There’s absolutely nothing good that came from it and an embarrassment for the franchise with the cartoony villains, stale protagonist characters and non-gripping plot.
They had all the opportunities to build from the first JW and blew it, why was production given to a guy whose only credit is a poorly known Indy film called “Safety Not Guaranteed”? Who was in charge of that executive decision? The man was in line to make a new Star Wars movie and was quickly axed after Fallen Kingdom was released. Wanna make a wild guess as to why? Remember the masterful plot for that movie “Monster Trucks”? I hope you don’t remember the movie itself, but Derek Connelly was at the forefront.
All I’ve got to say is that if I were given a 200 million dollar grant to make a JP movie, I’d blow anything Trevorrow and Connelly ever made out of the water. They’ve capitalized on the franchise and it’s immensely apparent.
Here's a list I made of creatures that I think would be great additions to the game:

Trevorrow and the crew HAVE been trying to give the JP/JW what they've been asking for. Fans have asked for feathered dinosaurs, he gave it to them, fans have wanted to see Giganotosaurus as a rival for T. rex, he gave it to them, Fans wanted the original cast to return, he brought them back. Hell, they even altered Rexy's design to look more like how she did in Jurassic Park, which wasn't necessary, but because fans wanted it, they gave it to them. To me it seems like the crew IS trying hard to please fans as well as general audiences. It may not be exactly what you want, but to state that they don't care about the series is not only wrong, but is pretty demeaning to all the work that they're putting into the series.
While I’d hate to see it, I do believe it’s what should be done. On the other hand, Trevorrow knows that Roberta is the cash cow of the franchise and seeing that money is the only thing that talks to him, I’m hard-pressed to say that he won’t kill her off… at least not on screen.
All this setting up just to set up a hero/villain storyline is such a stale copout of a plot, but it’s also clear to me that Trevorrow and company aren’t out to please the true JP fans and is more interested in making a big kaiju/explosion type movie to draw in the general public. It’s immensely saddening that this is what the franchise has fallen victim to.
I’m not much a fan of how they decided to add *some* scientific accuracy by adding feathers to the T-Rex… and then completely disregard all of the other inaccuracies of the rest of the scene. I suppose we are to believe it’s set in North America, but there 3 dinosaurs that aren’t North American straight out the gate such as Dreadnoughtus and Giganotosaurus (South American) and Iguanadon (European) and what’s supposed to be an Oviraptor (Mongolian).
I’m also not the biggest fan of the Giga’s design… it’s too… busy? Like they tried to hard to make it look badass with the exaggerated eye crests and back spines and it’s more akin to Godzilla than anything. I mean all they had to do is use the JWE design and make tweaks here and there, which would have made for a much more fluid design, but they decided to give it a look that seems to be an overdraft from Primeval or Terra Nova. Idk about you guys (my opinion), but I don’t think they’re off to that great of a start, personally.
All of this superfluous backstory just to set up a fight at the end… I can’t say I’m sold.
Sadly the giga is in the movie just to be killed by rexy
Honestly,wish she does.
Sorry if i have to bring this up but every theropod in the series (not including spino) has just shown up to be killed by Rexy.
Giga will have only a little bit of lore just so they can make it reasonable that it dies by Rexy.
Im tired of this shit and i god hope Rexy dies.
We could nitpick every tiny detail in dinosaur movies to the point where it drives us crazy. But buy doing so we prevent ourselves from enjoying them. I've seen so many people in the paleo community that constantly complain and rage over the tiniest detail and, honestly, it seems like those people have extremely miserable lives. I kind of feel bad for some of them, they claim to love dinosaurs yet they are constantly getting angry over the subject to the point where they are unable to enjoy something they love.
I've deleted the old description in favor of a new description, one that is more detailed.
Also, I love the dark humor of the drive-in theater playing the "Let's All Go To The Lobby!" cartoon as Rexy starts attacking!
I just saw part of the Imax preview online! It showed the scene of Rexy rampaging through a drive-in theater as well as some other clips of dinosaurs on the mainland, like the Allosaurus in Battle At Big Rock (the video did not show the Cretaceous scene). Overall, It Was Awesome!!! Interestingly they altered Rexy's design a bit, she looks somewhat bulkier (probably don't want to know what she's been eating) and she looks more like how she did in Jurassic Park, they even fixed her wrists to give them a more scientifically accurate position! As a massive dinosaur lover and Jurassic Park fan, I'm hyped as hell!!!
Same, It looks really cool. I'm wondering what difference there will be between the prehistoric Giga and the Modern Giga (since the prehistoric rex and ankylosaurus look slightly different from their modern versions).
There's a brightened image where you can fully see the Giga's face. It looks a little bit like the Jurassic World: Evolution design:

I think it would be fitting as well. Just as Isla Nublar's destruction signified the end of an era, so would the emotional death of the original T. rex.
I'm more concerned about the site receiving a copyright claim and having to take the images down.
Oh well, Universal is a big company, theyll get over it
I want it to happen weirdly. It seems fitting
Okay, Trevorrow hinted that Rexy will most likely not die.
I feel like a big silly now...
I would be a little careful, Universal might not like these leaked images being on the site...
This one guy keeps bashing Jurassic World: Dominion for it inaccuracies, yet this guy is working on a dinosaur game that is not only inaccurate, but strait up rips-off the Jurassic series (in dinosaur designs, sound effects and scenes) hell the name of the game is an unoriginal rip-off (Primal Dominion). Yet this guy has the audacity to complain about Jurassic World's accuracy. The hypocrisy of the online paleo community is baffling!!!
Too many times, a certain demographic (whatever it may be) has such focused "tunnel vision" that it refuses to look at the big picture.
Part of it is because the Jurassic Park movies are the most realistic-looking dinosaur movies of all time, bar-none. The science is actually so reasonably believable that that is why Spielberg leaped at the opportunity to buy the movie rights to adapt the novel when he had that lunch with Crichton about writing up ER. He had looked and waited for so long before the right story that involved dinosaurs to come his way...and he finally found it in 1989.
The other part of it actually comes from a good place: wanting to show what the dinosaurs really were because they know them best.
The other movies/tv series just aren't "realistic" enough to fuss over a lot.
@SasquaDash, you're completely right. Jurassic Park is, on a deep level, not about dinosaurs at all. It's about how chaos theory permeates into genetic engineering. Dinosaurs are the results of the leap in genetic engineering that Crichton wanted.
Now, I am ironically a bit of a stickler for this timing issue. This is so blatantly wrong that I'm at a loss for words. I know it's for storytelling, but just...ugh. It sounded more like my old story The Tyrant's Roar...but at least I gave a reason for why the Giganotosaurus and T.rex were able to exist at the same time.
Even so, I'm not going to let it temper my enjoyment for Dominion. For the love of Pete, it's a Jurassic movie
There's something ironic I realized a few years ago: the 2nd LBT movie (from what I remember) showed what would happen in TLW, with the mother and father T.rex coming to search for their hatchling. And LBT2 only came out 3 years prior to TLW. Talk about a prediction!
I honest to god hope not, even if it makes the movie better. If they bring in some sort of plot armor where she has some kind of genetic modification that triples her lifespan, yeah, it would be kind of dumb, but I would be all for having her outlive other characters or even being the only dinosaur to survive the entire trilogy.
Probably a fusion of a bunch of the Spinosaurids, (Spinosaurus, Baryonyx, Suchimimus, Irritator) with some Ankylosaur DNA to make it look armored and give it a Tail club.
Nice to see you.
I'd love to see it, even if it ends up being as important as the T-Rex in JP3
am I right fellow Jurassic Park Fans
I would ike to see it
The paleo community often gets angry at the smallest details. Here's a quote that I think the paleo community can learn from:
(Paleo Twitter's reaction to seeing the Atrociraptors)
While I personally don't want her to die, I have a feeling that she might. Why else would they put that much focus on her origin? I also think it would be an emotional way of ending her legacy and concluding the JW trilogy, with her death signifying the end of an era, and the start of something new.
I love The Land Before Time movies and most of their sequels. But TLBT also had incorporated dinosaur concepts that were for its time accurate compared to its contemporaries something Disney doesn't do because they are still stuck in the past. (Disney's Dinosaur is the only exception)
The Land Before Time gave us:
Dinosaurs living in herds
Most of the time the dinosaurs have their tails off the ground.
Little Foot's mother and grandparents resembles at the time a paleontologically correct Apatosaurus. Unlike Arlo from a Good Dinosaur that looks like a lizard horse.
Tyrannosauruses were capable parents as seen as Pappa and Momma Sharptooth in the sequel.
They eventually added in feather dinosaurs in the later sequels.
I don't mind inaccuracies as long as they make it a worth while watch, I would watch any The Land Before Time movies over the Good Dinosaur
I think the human clone was done okay, I mean she is a realistic clone. Considering in fiction where somehow Clones inherit the memories of their "parent" which thankfully Maise didn't do. A Clone would be more like an identical child that looks just like you instead of a mere copy of you complete with memories. So Maise was all they could do for a realistic human clone character and it gave her a symbolical connection with the dinosaurs.
With that a side, I believe the next Jurassic Park/World movie is going to be heavily focused on the dinosaurs
Rexy dying in this film? I Hope not.
As for Rexy's age, that is for Rex's in the wild, who know perhaps a Rexy could live double her natural lifespan if given proper care
True,
I think the real issue of that reveal wasn't the fact that she was a clone, it was the fact that they didn't do much with that idea so it ended up feeling like a cheap twist (hopefully Dominion will expand on this idea).
