You know there's a new version out in the theaters, now. Right?
I, for one, did not

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

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

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

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.
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.

What if we remove the dinosaurs and make it about genetically modified super soldiers?

Eh, if Michael Chrichton were still alive today he'd probably condone it all so long as he got his royalty check. Jurassic Park canon was never holy.

Lost World had some fun stuff (Despite diverging from it's book even worse than the first movie) but you're really not missing much, none of the sequels come within a mile the original.
