I will never stop watching JP movies.  

Same. The last three weren't good (especially the last two), but slap a dinosaur on the big screen and you can just take my money.

it's amazing that after over 30 years of advancing cinema technology the original JP from 1993 is still the best movie in the series by a shockingly wide margin.

Not sure any of the sequels are good at all.

Get a little high, watch some dinos eat people on a big screen

Haven’t seen lost world in forever so can’t speak to it, but the original is still a masterpiece. 3 through whatever number this one is are dog shit.

I will need to know what percentage of the movie Johannson spends in that white tank top before deciding whether to see this.

Well if the trailer is any indicator, I'd say chances are high

I watched the lost world over the holidays.  it’s watchable but nowhere even close to the quality and genius of the original.

So an iconic movie, based on an iconic book, has devolved into Fast and Furious-level sequel shlock?

How dare you besmirch the Diesel Family oeuvre!

Sauropod tail tapers down to a tiny whiplike tip. I can’t imagine that’s how they were built and such a lack of realism means I’m out.  I mean come on.

That one shot where it transitions from animatronic T-Rex to CGI T-Rex is beautiful

Looks kinda like a reboot of the third one.

And that dude trapped in the red box is turbofucked.

ETA: holy shit I didn’t realize that there have been three Chris Pratt JP films. I couldn’t tell you the plot to any of them.

That scene is still maybe the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in the theater. Probably behind the Empire and Jedi but I was a kid then and probably didn’t fully appreciate it.

I was gonna post this. One of the greatest scenes in cinema history IMO. You're like 40 minutes into the movie and haven't seen the big bad yet and then this scene happens. 

 

Also I wanted to punch that girl in the face so bad for getting that flashlight out.

Appreciate the fresh cast and back to basics plot. 

Back to basics? There's no park. 

This looks even worse than the shit reboots.

Some franchises like this, fast and furious, and transformers, i dont understand why people keep watching them that they keep getting made

saving private ryan D Day is still number 1 but this is certainly top 5 for just how advanced it was.

I never saw Jurassic Park until my early 40s.  It came out when I was in college and for some reason I just wasn't drawn to movie about dinosaurs, even though I was a HUGE Spielberg fan.  And I might have been a bit of a hype contrarian.  But dialed it up when my kids were young, and we all loved it, watched the rest of the trilogy, and then saw Jurassic World in the theaters.

So you didn’t watch any of the Avengers movies either?

The first Avengers movie always gets me during the battle of NYC when she turns to run away and runs like a completely unathletic fat chick.  It's hilarious but still hot.

spielberg's dinosaur version of jaws. you don't see the enormity of the shark really until the attack in the pond/estuary an hour into the movie.

Similar device with E.T.  Keep the audience in suspense with only a few partial shots of the alien until a decent way into the movie.

You missed out.

Jurassic Park on a big screen in '93 was absolutely mind blowing.  Dr. Grants line about the world running to catch-up was applicable to the rest of Hollywood and I kind of hope Spielberg knew that and was turning the knife on the competition.

I still remember the lightning effect in the back of theater during the original JP.  Such a great movie.
