Jurassic World

[CCS]

The Apatosaurus wasn't even CGI. It was an animatronic and looked just as good as the original animatronics. The CGI was also by far the best in the series. How can you be one of those obnoxious people who talk to the screen? You realize that completely ruins the experience for others and you should have been thrown out right?

I think they wanted a summer popcorn flick that was entertaining, I think they pulled it off.   I'm not even one that usually watches these type of movies, other than Marvel movies, I usually watch the independant movies like the ones up for awards every year, but I appreciate movies for what they are, it's called going in with proper expectations.

I recently watched Fast 7 and I went in with the same expectations of previous films like that and I enjoyed it.

Months ago I watched Theory of Everything and Imitation Game, and I went in expecting a good story and great acting, and they both delivered.   Have to have the right expectations.

Mad Max still the highlight of films I've watched in theatre this summer though.

Yeah Mad Max was definitely the best theater experience I've had in years.

And don't get me wrong. I was entertained by Jurassic World. I went to a late show and walked out feeling like I'd had a double espresso. But I still recognize what it was; a mediocre film and a money grab.

Want to see the best movie of the year?  Watch Inside Out.  Not kidding.

Dinosaur movies are serious bidness

there really was only one direction they could've gone with this, and that's OMG A MORE KILLER DINO. making a sequel to the first kind of pins them to that (and the conversation the characters have about public demand dictating things like quality and judgement is ironically applicable to films like this one.) if you go into it knowing it's going to be a film about a bigger badder dinosaur and everything that has to come with it it's fun and you won't be disappointed.

the action scenes were done well enough and chris pratt was awesome. a little too heavy-handed on the tributes to JP and the kids were incredibly expendable (seriously it's not hard to create kid characters you don't wish would die.) most of the potential plot twists were killed because the writing constantly tipped its hand.

oh and the older brother was most def gay.
