My first thought was, if velociraptors are running from what's taking chase...you know it must be really really bad.

But in the scene before they were released. I'm going with my theory that they've been trained to help with the running of the park. Herding, tracking, basically what we use dogs for.

Why the hell did they go down the road of "genetically altered super monster"!?!!1!? That is a fugging SyFy channel movie!

 

I mean, come on. How friggin' hard is it to make a Jurassic Park sequel? The premise is already perfect. Humans bring dinosaurs back to life with science and think they can control them, but are proven wrong with deadly consequences. It's already perfect! But instead of using an already established framework they decided to take the whole, "Man plays God with science" conceit waaaaaaay too literally and makes a genetically engineered super monster? WTF? You already have the monster from a miracle of science. YOU HAVE FUGGING DINOSAURS! Why do you need to complicate it?

 

Next year, be sure to look out for "Jaws 4: A Giant Shark with a Laser on its Head."

Or "George Romero Presents: Death Race of the Dead: This time zombies drive souped up death mobiles!"

Or "The Bourne Revelations: He remembers who he is and had a mecha suit to take out the president and his ninja assassins."

 

You don't need to shake up the whole formula when you've got something that works!

 

 

And as for the comment about there being way too much CGI, you're absolutely right. There are no practical effects, and it shows. The problem with just filming these action films on a green screen and doing everything in post is it gives the actors NOTHING to work with! Look at the aforementioned Raptor/Motorcycle scene. Notice how Chris Pratt doesn't react at all to the Raptors running by him. Because there's nothing there to look at while he's filming. And as a result it looks totally fake. Even if they are like sheep dogs used for herding, and Pratt is used to seeing them, if your sheep dog runs by you, you still glance at it, react to it in some way. Do something. You don't just stare blankly ahead like you don't realize the director called "Action."

 

When they shot the original Jurassic Park, they told the actors to react to imaginary dinosaurs around them. Then the animators went in and created dinosaurs on their sight-lines, so it looked like they were reacting to seeing something.

I guess that was too much trouble this time around, what with the miracle of computer graphics and all. And that's the problem. It used to be CGI supported the actors, now the actors have to work around the CGI. And it shows in a big way. And no matter how good computer graphics get, without practical special effects for your actors to play off you will never get a reaction like this:

Of feel like the characters are in real peril like this :

The end result of these marvels of computer animation is the movie has no soul.

 

Not to mention the 2:07 Mark, which it TOTALLY a rip-off of Aliens:

I'm so sorry for the rant. I'm just really upset by this because it's something I was really looking forward to. This is just bad, lazy film making. I'm truly crestfallen at what I've seen in the trailer.

I thought it was cheesy as hell too. Maybe it'll be super cheesy but fun, instead of super cheesy and terrible.

 

 

Pratt's character's line about creating the ultimate killing machine or whatever...like that is something out of a highschool film project.

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
