I think they had Chris Pratt riding a motorcycle with Raptors and reverse engineered the script around that.

I have human DNA so I can immediately speak and understand any human language I've never heard before.

The thing is, Jurassic Park was a novel in the first place and Michael Crichton spent years on researching the subjects so the story holds up. He also co-wrote the screenplay of the movie. That's why it's so good

You know, one thing that I miss about older movies is that people looked like people. The characters don't look work shopped into oblivion to maximize their physical appeal in every scene. Yeah Jurassic Park had attractive actors but they didn't look photoshoot ready. They were often dusty, their hair disheveled, their shirt damp with sweat and their pants and shoes caked with mud and ugly stains. Yeah there were scenes they were suspiciously clean but it wasn't pervasive as it is now. Also it's hard to see the animals as a threat when the main cast never gets any lasting, obvious injuries.

T-Rex: I never thought I’d die fighting side by side with a raptor. Raptor: How about side by side with a friend? T-Rex: Aye, I can do that.

Insurance companies that insured the Jurassic World park: “NAAAHH, it’ll be fine!”

Ian Malcom’s classic “before you even knew what you had” speech applies to so many movie franchises…Star Wars, Jurassic World, Terminator, Zack Snyder’s DC, Disney/Marvel shows, even the new Halo series, etc….

The Indominus Rex is a perfect allegory for the film. They wanted more bite, more action, more shock and awe but it blew up in their face.

"Isn't the whole point of Jurasic World that people can get a chance to see and experience animals that walked the Earth millions of years ago? Why would they want to see some horrifying mutated crossbreed that never actually existed?" I sense a metaphor about reboots of classic movies.

They were so preoccupied with whether they could make a sequel, that they didn't stop to consider whether they should

Just when you thought movies couldn't get any dumber, life finds a way.

While I agree with the overall review I almost thought that the introduction of GMO/"more diverse" dinosaurs was going to hit on one of the more poignant conflicts from the original book that did not make it into the original movie. The conflict is between Hammond and Wu and the next update to the cloned dinosaurs in the park. A conflict which speaks to the nature of entertainment and reality and customer expectations where Wu says "...entertainment has nothing to do with reality. Entertainment is antithetical to reality." While they ultimately failed at delivering the same message that Crichton conveyed brilliantly in my opinion they almost hit on a thought provoking plot point. Here is the conversation I am talking about quoted from the novel "consider my recommendations for phase two. We should go to version 4.4." "You want to replace all the current stock of animals?" Hammond said. "Yes, I do." "Why? What's wrong with them?" "Nothing," Wu said, "except that they're real dinosaurs." "That's what I asked for, Henry," Hammond said, smiling. "And that's what you gave me." "I know," Wu said. "But you see. . ." He paused. How could he explain this to Hammond? Hammond hardly ever visited the island. And it was a peculiar situation that Wu was trying to convey. "Right now, as we stand here, almost no one in the world has ever seen an actual dinosaur. Nobody knows what they're really like." "Yes . . ." "The dinosaurs we have now are real," Wu said, pointing to the screens around the room, "but in certain ways they are unsatisfactory, Unconvincing. I could make them better." "Better in what way?" "For one thing, they move too fast," Henry Wu said. "People aren't accustomed to seeing large animals that are so quick. I'm afraid visitors will think the dinosaurs look speeded up, like film running too fast." "But, Henry, these are real dinosaurs. You said so yourself." "I know," Wu said. "But we could easily breed slower, more domesticated dinosaurs." "Domesticated dinosaurs?" Hammond snorted. "Nobody wants domesticated dinosaurs, Henry. They want the real thing." "But that's my point," Wu said. "I don't think they do. They want to see their expectation, which is quite different." Hammond was frowning. "You said yourself, John, this park is entertainment," Wu said. "And entertainment has nothing to do with reality. Entertainment is antithetical to reality." --JURASSIC PARK by Michael Crichton Had they conveyed this message it really could have added new depth to the cautionary tale that is Jurassic Park.

Jurassic World: we were forced to engineer weird hybrids, NO ONE was coming to see the real thing anymore cut to shot of heavily populated crowds of people enjoying the park

As a PhD student in quantitative genetics, I can confirm that Drinker knows more about Genetics than the script writers of Jurassic World.

Remember when stories like alien, Jaws, or even the previous Jurassic Park movies, where the tension came from how much closer the creatures were getting in spite of the efforts of our heroes and not because of their poor decisions? I’ll admit, I do actually like this movie to a certain extent and do think it doesn’t do it as bad as other movies, but still.

Using Ian Malcolm from the first movie to give concise and deep criticism of the newest movie is true genius.

The big story problem that I have with this film is: this park was functioning for years, with no major issues, and NOW everyone makes stupid decisions that ruin everything.

They went from a T-Rex shaking the ground with every heavy step, to a "Super T-Rex" charging directly toward someone without being noticed. Maybe they added ninja DNA to the cocktail...

17:39 The fact that this quote from the original Jurassic Park movie can be used to describe the mindset of the Jurassic World trilogy is mind-boggling. Using the the original to criticize the new is brilliant.
