Forums - Movies & TV - Jurassic World was absolute garbage

I am OK with plot holes in movies that offer a story that can't exist in a universe like ours. I haven't watched latest Jurassic Park yet, but even if I hate it , I won't make a big deal out of how overrated it can be.

But I will throw a tantrum if someone tells me Gone Girl is a great movie, now that's a movie that requires a lot of suspension of disbelief that I might as well call it a sci-fi movie.

It starts off fine and builds up fairly ok, but once the dinosaur tricks the people to escape if went downhill fast.

Just became a cheesy monster movie like the ones on the Sci Fi channel... just with a bigger budget.

But yes, its a bad movie.

Everyone is a critic lol

I'll never understand how movie critics expect Citizen Kane level films from every film that comes out. A lot of actual fans enjoyed the movie. It was good, and deserved.

There were so many holes in that movie...

Why did that kid make such a big deal about leaving his girlfriend and then spend the rest of the movie just staring weirdly at other girls?

Because he was a horny teen and there really wasn't that big of a deal that he made when he left. 

 Then why make him have a GF at the begining at all? All it does it make him seem like a creep for the rest of the movie. Especially since he just stares at the girls.

Why did they go through that hole in the fence at god damn dinosaur park?

Because kids and teenage grandstanding. 

By going through an hole broken into a fence that houses dinosaurs? What happened to that know-it-all kid? Wasn't he smart enough to go "No that's a stupid idea, we'll get eaten." He makes like one tiny little argument against it and then just goes "eh, sure, I'm sure whatever broke that fence is friendly."

How on earth did those flying dinosaurs pick up people? 

Shown to have claws. 

The claws aren't the issue. The larger of the two types in the movie is maybe 100 lbs, there is no earthly way they were picking up an adult human.

Actually, why would those flying dinosaurs immediately know to fly all the way across the island and attack these people?

The flocked in the direction that the window got broken. Just happened to be the same direction.

And didn't bother to scatter once they got out? Also, why did they attack people? Is this an Alfred Hitchcock movie? Those things mostly eat fish and small lizards.

Why was the only helicopter pilot on the whole damn island the instructor who mysteriously goes missing halfway through the film?

Because the rest were from the military team and they kinda had their own shit going on after that. Helicopters weren't of big use there, on account of BIG NOISY THINGS OVER GIANT LIZARDS!

So instead they use big noisy things on the ground amongst the giant lizards? Also, they had a mini-gun, but no helicopter to put it on?

How on earth did that woman run through the jungle in heels?

Buuhuuu, movie logic. Big deal. 

Why didn't her closes get dirty during that whole ordeal?

Why was everyone totally okay with watching that dinosaur kill and eat a live goat? What the fuck is wrong with those people? Where's PETA in all this?

Because they came to see a big, hulking carnivorous dinosau kill a small, helpless animal. Kinda law of the nature and stuff. Would you go to a dinosaur park just to see them being thrown some meat? Or would you prefer something more natural? Like a safari.

Pretty sure they don't tie up animals to get eaten at a saffari. when's the last time you were at a zoo and they let a live pig out in the lions den? That's inhuman, and batshit crazy.

Why did they just let Vincent D'Onofrios character die? Sure, he was a dick, but he's still a person and Chris Pratt had a fucking gun that he could have easily saved him with or idk, use his amazing raptor whisperer powers to stop it from killing him but NOPE! They just let some dude get eaten cause....shut up.

Shoot the raptor and attract more attention from the asshole to yourself. Sure, great idea. 

To save sombodies life? Yeah, it's not like they were going to be able to hide there forever anyways. Plus, they weren't exactley being quiet up to that point.

If the bad dinosaur had some genetic link to the raptors that let it take control of them from Starlord, why was it then so easy for him to take control back? Is HE part raptor? Is that what they were getting at during the end of Guardians?

Because it was to emphasize how they were smart enough to care, like dogs. The iRex didn't take control, it wasn't mind related or anything...he was just recognized as kin.

Jesus, the more I think about this movie the worse it was.

The more you think, the more pretentious you seem. Yeah, the film was dumb and loud. It's called entertainment. If you didn't know this getting in, I'm surprised you managed to stay through the whole thing. 



I'll reply to the rest later, I have to go to work sadly.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

had the complete opposite feeling.
The beginning was just so damn slow. completely forgettable.

I've said it before and I'll say it now... Jurassic Park should have been one and done. The entire idea of there even BEING a sequel is silly.

I would reply, but I think we'd just get into a circular debate in which we dissect these elements down to a point where the movie never bothered to reach.

I admit from the get go that all I've said is me filling in gaps from the film...but they can be filled and argued against and argued for. Which is enough, in my opinion.

I think anyone that wants to enjoy this film needs to come into the cinema with proper...and realistic expectations, that stem from the source material, the general current cinematic ecosystem and tendencies and the trailers. It's a film with an island filled with dinosaurs, run as a tourist attaction...that's a cartoon worthy concept right there.

People like to find what's wrong with the movie looking to make some sense out of it... It's fiction, it doesn't have to make sense people.

Enjoy it for what it is goddamnit. 

PS: I didn't watch the movie.

Actually, it does. There's a reason why people don't like plot holes.

I am thoroughly surprised that there are people who liked it. It was outright dumb. And so predictable too. It is the worst movie I have seen in the cinema in the past few years.

 

You must not really go to the cinema much. 

2012?

World War Z?

Resident Evil: Retribution?

Friday the 13th?

Lucy?

The Wolverine?

Robocop?

47 Ronin?

The Lone Ranger?



Besides the climax of the movie, the whole movie felt pretty mediocre, overall.

It's far from the worst movie though, IMO.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

First, I haven't seen all of these at the cinema because I knew they would be bad. I only watched Robocop which was still better than this because it wasn't as dumb.
