Jurassic Park - Trailer

The most memorable films may not be blockbusters with gargantuan budgets. Mad Max cost $1 million to make and most of that was gobbled up by insurance.

 
Basically it's a Frankenstein monster story....

1. Look, I've tamed raptors!

lol what?

2. What, you're playing god again and created your own dinosaur?
3. She looks like a hybrid T-Rex and Spinosaurus...predictable but cool.

Species that were used in the creation of the hybrid are Tyrannosaurus, Carnotaurus, Giganotosaurus, Majungasaurus, and Rugops, as well as modern animals.
Where did you get Spinosaurus from???
 
Spinosaurus wouldn't stand a chance against a T-Rex. He was the first of the big predators of the Jurassic Epoch and lived mostly on seafood. On land he was somewhat slow moving and the bite force of it's jaw is significantly less powerful than a T-Rex. Once crocodiles started getting bigger it went extinct.

Still a mean looking SOB!

 
Actually the DNA half life is ~ 520 years. Nothing is impossible and science is already finding DNA sources where it was considered unlikely just a few years back. "scientists have discovered 419 million-year-old DNA intact inside ancient salt deposits." (bacteria) Link: http://news.discovery.com/earth/weather-extreme-events/oldest-dna-bacteria-discovered.htm
"Oldest-ever human forerunner DNA found in 400,000-year-old ‘Pit of Bones’ fossil poses new evolutionary mystery" Link: http://news.nationalpost.com/news/o...f-bones-fossil-poses-new-evolutionary-mystery

So never say never !


520 years half life still translates into an impossibility (an article I read said this applies even for DNA within the blood of a mosquito that is embedded within a drop of amber). Even if they find old DNA, that doesn't mean it can be viable enough to use.
 
What would the world be like today if that asteroid or comet did not crash into the Yucatan Peninsula millions of years ago to cause the Extinction Event on this planet?

Would homo sapiens have ever evolved?

Would big brained and intelligent dinosaurs have been the highest order of species now?

The dinosaur age was absolutely incredible.
 
Apparently the merchandising will be huge. Cups, toys even clothes.

Sarah silverman who has a cameo in the movie will also have a line of shorts and tops.

Sears will have an exclusive. If you go into their stores they have signs urging people to "try Sarah tops"

Are you sure about that? Is Silverman going to cuss out a dinosaur until it gets really pissed off? Kind of like this:

 
I'm not sold on this.

Since real dinosaurs are stranger that made up ones, I'm not enthusiastic about Indominus Rex. However Ridley Scott's favorite dinosaur the Mosasaur (progenitor to the Alien) is in this film. I'll probably see for Mosa, that is one extremely badass dino! It had a double jaw.

This was entertaining

Yes-. She was hired by the vp production Michael taro. Apparently she behaved well on set knowing this is a big break and she didn't want to make taro saur.

Earth was a horribly hostile and dangerous place to live in when
dinos were roaming around everywhere. It would be highly unlikely
for most mammals let alone human to have evolved in such environment.
Without the asteroid rats might be the most intelligent form
of life on earth today.

The dinosaur age was absolutely incredible.

T-Rex were unbeatable in its days and apparently didn't
need human-like intelligence to live a happy life. So
long as the ecosystem remained more or less the same
there is no reason for dinosaurs to have evolved to a higher
form of life.
 
More importantly, would there be dinosaur SPs and MPAs? And a terb filled with horny dinosaurs? ��

Yeah, but there would still be the old bait and switch... you expected a Raptor and instead get a T - Rex, and she just shrugs and says it was an old photo she copied so she wouldn't be recognized!
 
Just came back from watching it. I thought it was good. Lots of action great CGI. I'm sure they'll make another few movies out of it.

If you are lucky
Most of the time its some old fat Brontosaurus with saggy tattoos

Actually, T-Rex were often conflicted. More often than not, T-Rex were paralyzed by crippling doubt and an overwhelming sense of dread and ennui. A surprising number of them, after a long and what other dinosaurs thought was an enviable life as an apex predator, would ask themselves "is that all there is" in their waning years. Many committed suicide.


...plus they'd get really frustrated with the useless forearms and all.
 
Getting back on the subject, I went to see this movie last night in 3D. I recommend it. A little off the beaten path. But incredible non the less.

Really? Is it as entertaining as the first one? If the story is too far-fetched, then that's bothersome.

(3D kinda bothers me).

Do not go see it in 3D. There's only a few 3D effects in the movie and afterwards I doubt you'll be able to remember them, that's how little effects there are. I took my niece and nephew to see it in normal format Sunday night but could not get seats together (even though we were 30mins early) so we had to wait for the next show but it was only in 3D. I had to watch it. The 3D gave me a headache afterwards.

It was good though. Worth a watch
