Loki Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I remember when I learnt that the real velcoraptors were about the size of turkeys. It little bit of the magic of my childhood died. Haha yeah indeed. Aberdeen University has a complete raptor fossil and it was a bit disappointing. Most animals can be psychologically conditioned so in the case of science fiction it isn't that big a leap to see these raptors trained, especially since they were talking to each other last time out. Looks like it might be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 The 3rd one was awful, The spinosaurus looked terrible and taken the piss when it snaps the T-Rex neck with it's hands, aye cause i'm sure that is believable (in context) The original one, still to this day holds a special place in my heart. http://youtu.be/1pCgGojeGjM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 im sorry but did i just see someone who actually trained velociraptors? seriously? f**k off, im no having that shite Aye. I seen the trailer where you saw that a while ago and reacted the same. After not watching it for a while I actually think it's looking quite good. Hope the Raptors turn though. Canna wait for this. Jurassic Park is just superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Park is just superb. the first bit where he stops them in their tracks i can maybe, AND I MEAN MAYBE, at a push accept that could happen given they wouldn't have a clue who or what he is however the second part where he is seemingly leading them on an attack is just wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Given it's now a proper theme park (a la SeaWorld), I'm not as bothered about the "trained raptors" as others are. It's perfectly plausible ( - within the context of JP) that they could be "trained" given that: a) They're genetically modified; and b) You currently see trained animals at some theme parks Using them to attack the big I-Rex/D-Rex does seem a bit silly but the rest of it has drawn me in (apart from the pterodactyl bit). It's never going to reach the same heights as Jurassic Park so people should just accept that (and not being the same level as Jurassic Park doesn't mean it's absolutely awful). I've seen nothing so far to suggest that it will be worse than Lost World. Edit: I mind reading an interview with the director where he pretty much said that the velociraptor thing isn't as "clear cut" as the trailers show. There's been a number of instances of people getting close to/training animals that have ended up turning on them. Edit Mk.II: Of course, it could be shit but I'm cautiously optimistic. It's obviously not going to be greatest thing ever but that doesn't mean it won't be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 There's only so much you can do with a dinosaur movie, so atleast it's trying something different. Maybe a movie set in the actual dinosaur era would be something a bit different but that is probably all you could do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham89 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Don't really understand much of the gripe here... Trained Raptors: in the franchise, Raptors are portrayed as highly intelligent. Why then is this so unrealisic. Humans have successfully trained numerous apex predators, it's not all that impossible? The whole theme park idea is the perfect continuation of the franchise. It is the only logical path. The genetic new dino. As per the original, all the Dino's are effectively new breeds rather than pure breed. This again isn't really a big deal. Slightly strange but its a film about dinosaurs in the modern world, what are you expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Never been a huge fan of Jurassic Park tbh and I've always felt it's a bit overrated. Plenty of films I'd rather see this year but will most likely still go. If I do get round to watching it does anyone think I'll need to watch the originals as I haven't seen them in a couple of years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordecai Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 What's with all the hate for The Lost World? It has Jeff Goldblum AND Pete Postlethwaite in it. Fair enough the ending seemed a little bit unnecessary, but it was still an entertaining film. Maybe it's an age thing...mind you I was 13 when the third one came out and I knew it was shite even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 "We're going at it with everything we've got" he says as he speeds away with his raptor buddy's. This film is looking more and more shite. They've fucked up on the raptors again by making them blue AGAIN. They should be fucking brown like the first film. I'll still go to see this but can't say I'll be looking forward to it, more intrigued if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually liked it up until the T-Rex started ramping through the streets of San Diego (?)[/spoiler ALERT]. It's pretty rubbish compared to the first film though, which is why I used it as a comparison. Jurassic World won't be as good as the original film but it won't be any worse than Lost World. We're not going to be getting JP3 levels of shit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I loved the original Jurassic Park, it's amazing how well the CGI has held up for a film that came out in 1993 Especially when you compare it with No.3 which looks cheap in comparison despite it coming out 8 years later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
