So, what're the odds a T-Rex comes in somewhere in the third act and kills the Indominous as a massive fan service finale?

By the way, is the iRex pretty much that dinosaur from Ice Age 4? (No, after some research, that one looked more like a frill-less Spinosaurus) King King (2005)? Designed by Hollywood's test groups?

I'd rather have the fanservice, because fuck the Spinosaurus man.

I just saw Jurassic World, it was pretty cool. Kinda stupid at times, but very self-aware. There was even some fan service.

And it was an excellent monster movie. The final battle was everything I asked for and so much more.

I enjoyed Jurassic World, to the point I done boutght the entire series on blu-ray with intent on watching it all tonight before I see it a second time (at $7.50 cheaper but with better quality 3-D) tomorrow. Tonight shall be a drunken night, but one to fucking remember. The first holds the fuck up.

I've never seen the sequels, as it happens, though I caught everything in Lost World after the trailer/cliff scene one time in a motel on cable. We shall see if being better informed about what came before heightens my opinion on Jurassic World.

Not much from the sequels has any relevance at all in Jurassic World. It's all about referencing the first one!

I thought for awhile that the dino was giving off something that messes with radios and cell signals, cause it always seemed to happen when it was around.

That was my theory.
I mean, every other convenient plot device was due to totally accidental side effects of the included genomes.

So Jurassic World and Lost World are now both officially Jurassic Park 2 in my mind :o JW doesn't really do justice to concept, perhaps because it has to cater to a new audience that doesn't gaf about the first movie, but it mostly avoids doing things that are just plain bad.

Jurassic World: we got the Isla Nublar park up and running.

Jurassic World 2: we got the San Diego park up and running.

Jurassic World 2: we got the San Diego park up and running.

Considering the events of Jurassic world, highly unlikely.

Jurassic World 2 will concern that doctor who escaped with the embryos. Unless it's set like, three years from now at least, unlikely plot choice. JW wasn't a direct copy of Jurassic Park; I think it unlikely the sequel will be the sequel to the original.

Don't be silly.

I saw this yesterday. Is it just me or do modern movie franchises venture more and more into the territory of big budget enabled fanfiction?

It's the nature of big budget film making these days. Studios are not willing to throw millions of dollars at projects that aren't going to see them a sizable return. So when someone brings them a reimagining of a movie that brought in huge profits, or a script involving a big nostalgia property, they get dollar signs in their eyes. Even if the movies are not well received (see the Transformers franchise), they are still going to make money on the opening weekends for people going to see if it lives up to what they remember. Sometimes it works well, see Mad Max Fury Road. Sometimes it's a terrible and should never have been made. See Battleship.

Studios are only going to make what earns them money or acclaim. That means remakes and imaginings... 'fanfiction'. Adaptions of popular book or television properties. And vehicle movies for popular stars. Plus more 'artistic' films around Oscar season. Any other projects have to squeeze in. Usually either supported by someone who has a lot of clout in the industry, or funded by smaller studios more willing to take risks.

In some ways it makes me glad I didn't follow through with my dream of getting into the special effects industry, so I didn't have to deal with the politicking involved. Mostly though it was the huge amounts of time on location, and the on/off nature of the work. I need more stability in my life than what working in a special effects studio could offer.

The Meat & Potatoes of the Film Industry.

Meat and potatoes? I've always felt they're more 'deli sandwich and brussel sprouts,' in that most people are gonna turn them right the fuck down, but there's a small percentage where that's their jam.
