I need a picture of Universal milking a T-Rex.

I saw the new one with my father in law today, after not having seen one since the original trilogy. It was just not good. I'm usually able to turn off my brain and enjoy a movie regardless of the quality, but there were so many things that didn't make sense, or were glossed over without explanation, that I just couldn't suspend my disbelief.
I’m sorry, new one? You mean from like 2019 right?
Right‽

I saw it and it wasn't as bad as some of the other but not great. The big bad dies in like a single second with zero build up and its really unsatisfying. Weird character choices, unnecessary and forgetable characters mostly. The nerd guy "Harry" was the best actor for me. 6/10 not worth re-watching or thinking about again

You know there's a new version out in the theaters, now. Right?

6/10 is a very high score considering that review.

I saw the first Jurassic Park. I enjoyed it. But I feel sated with that single entry. If you love these movies, more power to you, but I don't really understand it myself.

I, for one, did not

That’s an F in the US education system almost everywhere (maybe everywhere barring specific curves?) and though we may think ill of them as a third world shithole that does mean something.

Challenge: Let's broaden the Jurassic world. How do you make a Jurassic movie without the dinosaurs breaking loose?

There is a shifting of themes that basically tracks with the corporate takeover of the US government.
- (1993) Companies fucking around with systems they don't understand is the problem. Rich guy underestimates nature.
- (1997) Rich guy learned lesson. Corporate greed did not.
- (2001) post-dotcom crash: A rich fucker and his stupid family learn the lesson about the company that fucked with nature. Governments are bad for not interveneing.
- (2015) post-Birther: Company and its rich founder are naive and innocent. US Government and US education are the bad guys.
- (2018) Corporate suits are the good guys. Science is the bad guys.
- (2022) A (suddenly) European company is the bad guys. Science is again the bad guy. Americans are the good guys.
- (2025) The US company and Military are the good guys.

5/10 is an FOh interesting. My schools were 69 and under was F. My understanding was 65 was a typical cutoff

That’s not milk!

Oh interesting. My schools were 69 and under was F. My understanding was 65 was a typical cutoff
I would argue under 60 = F is the norm. It’s even quite a common trope in movies / TV. Example:

The books, Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World, are very good and very different from the movies. I also recommend Disclosure by the same author.

The premise of dinosaurs in the modern world is as close to evergreen as you can get. The problem isn't that the cow has gone dry, so much as the farmers keep jerking off the bull instead.

I saw the first one, enjoyed it...not sure I could explain the plot or what happened in it. At the time having the dinosaurs brought to life was spectacle enough; they could have made a movie about the park working correctly and it would have sold tickets.
I watched the second and third one back to back with a girl. They were alright. I don't care to see them again. I'm not watching any more of them.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Did you actually see the 2025 movie? No way the theme you got from that is US Corpo good. If anything g it's literally the opposite.
I didn't see anything else than 2025. Pretty bad.

But the main character literally decides to open-source the data instead of selling it to a pharma corp.
