Jurassic World (SPOILERS!)

[Wor-Gar]

^ I watch everything this way......and love it!!!

I think you're joking. It would be way too weird to watch everything this way. Too real, if that makes sense. Although I'd like to watch Jaws that way all the way thru.

Has Snoopy checked in yet with the review of JW?

I was visiting relatives yesterday, and I put the movie on for my daughter cause she was bored. I noticed on the TV in my relatives house, that the movie looked very video-ish. Like it was shot with a home movie camera. Is their tv likely cheap, or is it a setting?

Could be one of those hi-def TVs that makes everything look like a soap opera TV show. My friend has one and I don't know how he can stand it.

I like movies to look like movies.

Motion smoother, maybe?

That's the Soap Opera effect and, yes, Sachiel. It's the Motion Smoothing feature of some HDTVs that have that.

Simply turn it off.

There's a setting on the TV that makes it appear that way. It's actually incredible to watch -- when I first got my set I watched parts of Star Wars and Jaws in this mode and it was crazy, looked like I was right there on set as stuff was happening. Really weird. If you cue up the scene in Jaws where the towns people come into the room where Quint scratches the chalkboard, the shot is long and static and it totally looks people are coming into your room and you're watching from a rectangular window. Totally freaky.

I enjoy it too. It doesn't work for all movies, and I certainly don't watch everything with Motion Smoothing. Especially not a movie that I'm watching for the first time. I like using this feature the most with older movies. Movies that I've seen so many times. This feature actually gives it new life. It almost appears three dimensional. It's pretty cool to see that effect from older movies.

Thanks for the education.

I got used to it!

Curious for those who enjoy JW, how often do you watch JP trilogy? Never? Once or Twice? Don't remember them?

I've watched JP and TLW countless times. JP///, not so much.

Same here.

JP/// always seems to be on TV so I've seen it many times. It's always a good one to have on in the background.

It's supposed to be used for sports and video games really, maybe 3d too, to take the motion blur out of the image. It's a similar look you get when you shoot film in HFR like 48 frames a second instead of 24, which Peter Jackson did for the hobbit trilogy. I personally can't stand it as others have said, I like my movies to look like movies.

 

[Khev]

Motion smoother, maybe?

I actually turn off motion blur whenever I watch The Hobbit trilogy in 3D. I actually enjoyed the HFR theatrical presentations and it just "feels" right to emulate that at home.

 

[Wor-Gar]

So Snoopy never gave a review from last weekend's viewing, huh? Must've hated it.

 

[Khev]

Snoop knows how to appreciate a good thrill ride, I'm sure he loved it.

 

[Shawpaw]

That last fight scene gets better each time I watch it.

 

[Wor-Gar]

So why didn't he post?

I loved it the 2nd time. Looking forward to another viewing.

 

[greygoose]

That last fight scene gets better each time I watch it.

Yeah it's boss!

 

[Centurion]

First viewing in the theater and I loved the movie. Enjoyed it from beginning to end. My second viewing was at home, on blu ray, and I enjoyed it even more. This is a must buy title. It'll be getting multiple views throughout the year.

 

[MaulFan]

I haven't really been active in this thread, but I love the franchise and this is already my 2nd favorite. The classic dinosaurs were handled with respect to the past, unlike JP3, the new ones were very well done, Pratt is like Malcom and Grant mixed into one person and it works very well, and despite the odd wardrobe, Howard plays off Pratt very well, not a character that needs to be in sequels but serves her purpose very well, and the final shot of Rex dominating the park, one of the coolest shots of Rex in the series. I love the jab at JP3 having him crash through the spinosaurus skeleton.

 

[KitFisto]

I really enjoyed my home viewing even more than the theater. I honestly don't see where a sequel can go, but I'll be on board for another. I assume the whole idea of a "park" will have to be out the window......just not even remotely believable after this one. I'm guess an INGEN site for military purposes gone wrong is the only logical path left, but who knows.
