    It's astounding how the least creative people in the world seem to dominate the film and television industry.

      because it's not people running the film and television industry, it's marketing algorithms doing beep boops and telling 112 year old producers which superhero movie to throw money at

      Like the other two jurassic worlds. there dinosaurs so that alone makes it at least funny bad no matter what. The first jurassic world is an accidental (maybe?) satire of itself

    this movie will be so bad but I struggle to think of anything more stupid than a gun that shoots a laser which tells a dinosaur to attack that person

      i don't know if it's lack of creativity, contempt for the audience's intelligence, or maybe just that movies can't criticize capitalism now

      but the antagonists in the new Jurassic movies are bad because they want to turn dinos into explicit weapons, right? Something very straightforward and overt that any basic audience could understand. Cool dino park is good, weapon dino kill people and that bad.

      In Jurassic Park the antagonist wasn't even a person, it wasn't the dinos either, it was trying make as much money as possible by commodifying life itself. Fucking up things bad because of corporate business mentality was the main conflict. And without consideration of the further implications, instead only focusing on the technical details of how to make as much money as possible, which fucked up because oops life doesn't subscribe to the laws of economics.

        Pretty sure the antagonist of Jurassic Park was the chaos theory itself

        I dont know I watch it when I was 7 and the dinos looked cool

          yeah, that's how I mean. Corporate dipshits trying to make an infinite money machine out of biology they barely understand and then nature seizes its DNA back from them. Also it's muddled a little from the Crichton novel, where the John Hammond park owner character is completely evil and only concerned with making money and fulfilling his life's goal of making dinosaurs. The film portrays him more of a well-meaning eccentric who makes all of the same mistakes, which is a little more honest in my opinion. Because it doesn't matter how nice your grandpa is, if he's a massively wealthy corporate business owner, he's evil and will do something that kills a bunch of people in the search for more money.

        That's what makes the first movie good and impossible to repeat to an extent.

    How does Colin Trevorrow still have a job. Why do they let him make movies?

      I'm genuinely stoked for this movie. It's gonna be dumb as fuck and dinos. I've liked the entire jurassic world series and am not ashamed to admit it

        That's totally fair, but it's not like Colin Trevorrow is at all necessary for that. I just feel like Book of Henry should have gotten him on the blacklist usually reserved for communists and Will Smith. I'll probably still watch it, and I might even do it in theaters.

          Honestly, if there are dinosaurs in play my critical abilities go out the window. I love anything and everything with dinosaurs. It's a weak point.

            Yeah, me too. Like I said, I'll watch the movie, I just kind of wish he wasn't still in creative positions.
