It was just silly imo. The guy controlling the raptors, the whole making of a new breed of dinosaur and it was basically the same plot as in the first Jurassic Park. The first one is great because it conveys very well the wonder of these creatures and how scary they can be. |
This is something I heard a lot of, especially from people who wet their pants at Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which was like 'Star Wars' Greatest Hits.'
You talk about all the new elements, and then say it was basically the same plot as the first movie.
Except with 10,000 park guests rather than 5 consultants, the dinosaurs escaping were the same plot.
Raptors not escaping, but being set free to perform a mission, but otherwise the fact that raptors were in it is the 'same plot.'
We get 9 super hero movies a year, and after a 14 year break, we are getting a second dinosaur movie three years after the first was a hit. The presence of dinosaurs does not make it 'the same plot.' How about our third Star Wars movie about stopping a giant device that blows up planets? How about it? Pants wettingly excited.
First dinosaur movie in almost a decade and a half, with a fully operational park, raptors being trained by a zoologist, a hybrid dinosaur to expand profits, and the biggest sea-dwelling prehistoric reptile currently known, a subplot about brothers bonding (the two kids in the first movie were just generic kids), an aunt realizing that family is as important as work, the lead geneticist having ulterior, military motives, a plan to weaponize the dinosaurs, and a deepening of the idea of 'meddling with extinct organisms can bacakfire in unexpected ways?' It's apparently the 'same plot.'
