I'm dying to see Jurassic World.
I don't know why, but I never would've pegged you for a Jurassic fan, Heather. :lol:
I have a $75000 theater in my home and the first one remastered in 3D on loud just didn't do it as much as the new one for me... I really enjoyed it more than the first. Loved the set up and yes there were silly parts but over all I loved the experience. IMAX is the way to go!!!!
Quote:This takes place after the first one and it acts like 2&3 didn't happen. That's what I read and likes that they did it that way... 06-16-2015 04:01 PMHeather19 06-16-2015 06:04 PMMattrick 06-16-2015 06:05 PMRickyI haven't, but Jurassic Park's been on my to-read list for years now. I always mean to read it over the summer, but there's just so many books I want to read.
Now that I know you love JP, I'm eager to hear what you think of Jurassic World. 06-16-2015 06:10 PMHeather19 06-16-2015 06:22 PMStill Servant 06-16-2015 08:00 PMmaeI must be the only one who loves both 1 and 2. 06-16-2015 08:06 PMMattrickI prefer 3 over 2. If only for Grant's dream with the talking Raptor. It was hilarious. 06-17-2015 05:35 AMkilljoy72The problem is the first JP was just so damn iconic. The sequels just felt like... sequels. Didn't Crichton write Lost World so they could make a JP2? I read them both before the movies came out, and just recently reread them in one of those Barnes & Noble collectible editions.
Great to hear Jurassic World is doing so well. Iv'e tried to keep my expectations low, but now after all the rave reviews I'm dying to see it. I hope to see it some time this week.
I finally saw Whiplash last night and it was fantastic. Highly recommended! 5/5 06-17-2015 06:21 AMwebstar1000WELL SAID "The problem is the first JP was just so damn iconic. The sequels just felt like... sequels.".... I totally agree. I felt like this was a sequel but the fun factor was so damm high and the effects so F)&(^&'IN good... that I fell in love. Seeing again tomorrow night In IMAX 3D! this movie will take the 3rd spot on the all time charts for top grossers... I am saying it now. 06-17-2015 08:25 AMfernanditoI know, right!? I thought Heather had an aversion to fun films. :)
Yup. Nailed it.
Jurassic Park was undoubtedly a passion project and teeming with creativeness. The Lost World, while admittedly not completely without merit, could not shake off the handle of being perfunctory. Like the titular dinosaurs, the entire film feels engineered for the sole purpose of generating more $. 06-17-2015 08:42 AMHeather19 06-17-2015 03:23 PMMerlin1958So, went to see the "Jurrasic World" flick with my nephews and loved it. I'm going back solo to catch it in 3-D!!! 06-17-2015 03:28 PMneedfulthingsHELLO! IT'S HOLLYWOOD.:doh:
Spoiler: 06-17-2015 03:36 PMMerlin1958Quote:Precisely, Bruce. JPII has absolutely nothing to do with a conversation about JW. Crichton is dead and they already made JPII. This is a fourth and completely different JP adventure and not exactly the traditional "Reboot". Though with it's success I can see them eyeing more films.

Though continuing in the storyline as is will take a lot of "buy -in" for the audience, but they did leave an opening. However,

Spoiler: 06-17-2015 05:57 PMMerlin1958Good point, but "Godzilla" is random. JP is a sanctioned establishment, sort of. 06-17-2015 06:45 PMStill ServantNever heard of it.Spoiler:
Also, Jeff Goldblum alone makes JP2 better than 3. That and the trailer scene. 06-20-2015 12:52 PMur2ndbiggestfanI loved WHIPLASH.
Saw ENTOURAGE today. I really liked the HBO cable show, but the movie left me cold; didn't care for it at all, darn it. 06-21-2015 07:06 PMmystimaBeen doing a lot of movie re-watching the past couple of weeks. I have to rethink about one of those movies. One of those movies was Cloverfield. I know a lot of people didn't like it because of the way it was done, but found footage films are becoming more popular and some are good. The reason I am saying this is because of the "other" footage that is in the film(him and his girlfriend going to coney island) bursting in at times and the giant yet small Easter egg at the end of the film.
Another found footage film that I saw last night was pretty good and you don't see something like that all the time(time...lol) It was Project Almanac. Time travel found footage is interesting... just my two cents on the movie.
