Jurassic World



Anyone else excited for this flick? I remember seeing the original in the theater when I was seven.

Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park (1993), Isla Nublar now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, as originally envisioned by John Hammond.

This film picks up twenty-two years after Jurassic Park. When Derek [Connolly] and I sat down to find the movie, we looked at the past two decades and talked about what we’ve seen. Two things came to the surface.

One was that money has been the gasoline in the engine of our biggest mistakes. If there are billions to be made, no one can resist them, even if they know things could end horribly.

The other was that our relationship with technology has become so woven into our daily lives, we’ve become numb to the scientific miracles around us. We take so much for granted.

Those two ideas felt like they could work together. What if, despite previous disasters, they built a new biological preserve where you could see dinosaurs walk the earth…and what if people were already kind of over it? We imagined a teenager texting his girlfriend with his back to a T-Rex behind protective glass. For us, that image captured the way much of the audience feels about the movies themselves. "We’ve seen CG dinosaurs. What else you got?" Next year, you’ll see our answer.

Who could argue with that as we hurtle towards making our planet unlivable?

And waking up to what our technology has created all around us...

What IS it with Spielberg and annoying kids? With the exception of "Schindler's List", every one of his films seems to have annoying kids front and center in the scenario. I found myself wishing that something unpleasant would eat both of this film's pre- and pubescent heroes in some exceptionally horrible manner. (Don't get me started on "Hook"!)
Of course, I AM something of a curmudgeon.

I saw this on DVD last week. I was really disappointed. Even the very end is the same. Too much shoot-em-up-blow-em-up. And no paleontologists,
