    This is going to be either amazing or awful and I seriously can't tell which.

    The concept is really good, in some ways reboot-ish (i.e. sweet-ass dinosaur park that initially feels safe goes to shit) without disrespecting the original by trying to retell it. This is much preferable to what the earlier sequels did, which was just show more of the 'gone to shit'. For me, the original was so great precisely because of the breakdown happening before my eyes. Similarly to why Half-Life worked so well, with Black Mesa initially being this incredible safe haven that very quickly becomes a living hell.

    Some bits of CGI bothered me, but I can't tell if that's because I'm looking at this on an iPad.

    The CGI isn't finished yet, its got another 5-6 months of time to get right. But I still agree, the original movie looks so much better.


    The last 2 movies were disappointments. The Lost world had so much potential to be perfect, but nope. (sometimes I just want to see Lost World remade into something better, on the original island, but that will never happen.)

    I'll wager that a "we'll fix it in post" attitude is exactly why the FX look like something from the asylum lol


    GOTG was no where near as bad as Jurassic World, but same situation.

    WWZ suffered from the same thing, CGI was terribad first trailer, then when I watched the movie, the CGI was pretty impressive. Jurassic World looks likes its going overboard with CGI, which wont impress me. That giant Croc thing was just silly.

    I was excited for this when I saw the teaser, but the moment I heard "hybrid" in the trailer I kinda lost a bit of that excitement. I wish they'd just stick to plain old dinosaurs but I guess this is a new movie for a new generation. They'll never top the first one in my eyes.


    I'll still go and see it because dinosaurs. And the main theme music.

    You can say that again!


    This is CG well done:

    A lot of the shots are real animatronics, it's the combination of real, cgi and clever tricks that works. They have all the lighting and material information in the set to get the CGI dinosaur looking just right. Without that reference it's a guessing game.


    Also, when you keep swapping around CGI, real life and matte paintings, the scene becomes very hard to work out, they cut quickly so you usually don't have time to figure it out.


    Allot of shots in the movie are real - CGI only enhanced what could not be done practically.

    I think The Nostalgie Critic said it best in his "Has CGI gone too far?" video. If you can get over his voice he has an interesting story to tell and yes, totally on topic since it also covers Jurassic Park

    Sorry, but the whole hybrid thing - and the fact that this is the 4th movie - brings back bad memories from the Alien series. Instead of making this a thorough reboot I'm afraid they're just trying to up the ante by adding something absurd that is more dangerous than a T-Rex or a pack of raptors. This is becoming more like Sharktopus than Jurrassic Park...

    Yup, looks pretty horrible D: After that trailer I'd rather just go back and watch the original again, it's probably nearly a decade since the last time I saw that

    "Genetically Modified"


    Topical. Controversial. Likely included in script and trailer to just maximize audience reach. That term alone will get people to literally turn their head to the screen if it is on in the background when someone else is watching. Trust me....this shit is tested to death in focus groups and panels etc. Every microsecond in that trailer was engineered (like in every other movie durrr).


    Or they did it for the lulz.

    So they created a Velocirex saurus? /rolleyes

    Anyway, looks a lot like the first to me, which is good… for 12-year-olds. Never gonna watch this in cinemas. I'm going to pirate every Pratt movie actually.
