Jurassic World (SPOILERS!)

[Wor-Gar]

Not from far left of the front row it doesn't!

Would you go see this properly already. Why would you miss this -- just to be part of the biggest movie ever?

Put the pint down and go see this movie.

To bad the scientist at Jurassic World did not add the Mosasaurus gene into Indominus Rex. Then Indo Rex could also speak to Mosa and even swim. You know just like the camouflage, thermal heating and speaking to raptors…….all when conveniently needed!! Sounds silly right??

Party pooper.

He was secretly 'bred' with traits that InGen would deem beneficial to their military applications. A smart, stealth (and hopefully trainable) killing machine. We didn't find out what traits or ablilities she had until the characters figured it out. Only Wu knew what as in there. So not so silly when you think about it context of the movie.

Just 100% silly for for what should be a dinosaur movie. I can get all this **** elsewhere!! I did not need it in this franchise.

Weren't you upset that Jurassic World is going to make your kids think that Indominous was a real dinosaur? Did you grow up thinking that Sleestaks were real? What about King Kong? He fought dinosaurs.

 

[Bo Shrek]

Yup my kids and I have been to many King Kong giant apes museums across the country! There like "Dad, look at the giant bone. That ape must have been big".

 

[Khev]

I hope you disciplined them quickly and severely.

I was at Best Buy picking up Spirited Away on blu-ray and I saw that Avatar 3D was on sale so I decided "what the hell" and picked it up.

Watched it last night. Wow, I felt like it was my first time really seeing it since the theater in 2009 (and it was also the first time I'd watched it at all since around 2011.)

It's too bad that this movie has the stigma that it does, because it really is a solid movie experience. Pandora really does come alive in 3D too. I admit that some of the "tree hugger" stuff was still a chore to sit through but it's too bad that the #1 all time box office and Best Picture nomination have put so many people off the film. If it just got some technical nominations and was maybe #2 in box office behind Transformers Revenge of the Fallen that year I think people would look at it as a respectable comeback for Cameron that would be fun to revisit from time to time.

I must admit that the whole sequence where Jake is taking out the shuttle and Dragon gunship is still pretty damn spectacular.

I also couldn't help but be reminded of some moments that seemingly influenced Jurassic World. I had forgotten that Jake jumps off the waterfall right as the Thanator snaps its jaws behind him. Hmm, I feel like I've seen that recently. Also the winged creatures taking out the helicopters and door gunners was also something that we saw in JW.

So JW definitely tapped into that well. Next time I watch the finale of JW where Blue and the Rex are charging Indominous together I might even be tempted to think "Ewya has heard you Owen, Ewya has heard you...!!!"

And the horses make raptor noises. So it's an even trade

 

[Khev]

Oh yes Cameron obviously copied a million things himself, Raptor noises being one of them. Thanator screams like Kong 76 when Quaritch stabs it.

Another funny thing about the Thanator is that in his 1994 Avatar treatment he specifically wrote" the thanator could easily defeat a T. Rex and eat the Alien Queen for breakfast." Obviously it was his attempt to make a new iconic monster that topped the T-Rex and Queen. Did he succeed? I'm thinking no....

Even Indominous is cooler than the Thanator, but I'm preaching to the choir, right Bo Shrek?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Thanator? Sounds like a cross between Thanos and a Terminator. How original! Avatar is 98% a ripoff of other stories , movies, and comics, even the design of the characters is a complete ripoff, but I liked the film in theaters and James Cameron can still make a more entertaining film than most directors working today.

 

[Khev]

Well Thanatos is like some Greek death god but yes, it does sound like Thanos and Terminator as well.

For being the #1 movie of all time, and a sci-fi film at that, it's pretty surprising that it's a collectible wasteland. You'd think we'd have all these Thanator or "Banshee" and whatever other creatures to choose from in statue form but so far zippo.

 

[Khev]

Analysts are predicting an $85 million second weekend for JW. Lets see how close they come this time.

Did you grow up thinking that Sleestaks were real?
