So, they gonna explain how Dinosaurs as they exist in Jurrasic Park live in snow without dying hopefully... how the fuck did dinosaurs spread globally when they were all pretty much released in that one area (and there was only like 50 of them)... WHY ARE THEY STILL TRYING TO DO DINOSAUR GENETIC ENGINEERING.

If they finally admit to that I would have some iota of respect for them.

Yeah, but they all look the same as whatever base dino was. You'd think that a cold weather engineered dinosaur would actually have, like, cold weather adaptations? Like a visible layer of insulation or something.

Or if they can get DNA from them - and considering some of the stuff teased for Dominion, it'd almost be stranger if they couldn't - simply having as the base dino one that already was arctic to start with.
 
I'm happy they finally decided to include feathered dinosaurs that don't look goofy. And Dilophosaurus is back!
 
Man, can't wait till we get the Jurassic Galaxy tease end credits where humanity discovers fossils on Mars and resurrects space dinosaurs to prove that the cycle of humanity's greed and arrogance to tame nature never stops with one planetary body.

Polar dinosaurs were a thing, and JW dinosaurs are so genetically weird it wouldn't surprise me they got those Arctic mods just in case.

They existed, but they weren't exactly the same as their non-polar counterpart. For instance, the cold weather T-rex was much smaller than it's not cold weather counterpart because *large animals die from lack of food not just cold.* So did they engineer that brontasorus with an extremely slow metabolism or something?

Edit- and that still doesn't cover the whole "50 dinosaurs somehow are now enough dinosaurs to dominate the globe."?

They re-evaluated the cold-weather tyrannosaur (Nanuqsaurus, because I care about that), and apparently it is roughly the same size as it's warmer climate contemporary Albertosaurus. Somehow.
 
Sigh. Well that looks horrible. I mean, my old .44 magnum would be enough to handle 90 percent of Dinos and your average neighborhood in LA could probably depopulate them, because 1. Dino's aren't like some kind of jason wannabe--you shoot them, they fall down and die. Or they run away and die.
2. They're dumb. they tend to hunt when hungry, as opposed to humans who hunt fo rthe hell of it, and if the dino's become a problem, for that 100 dollar bounty and open license.
3. The moment htey do something like bust into a drive in, people will demand Something Be Done, and said something could range from poison to:



I mean, there's a reason why in the real world, our problem isn't protecting ourselves from wild animals, but keeping humanity from kill the shit out of said wild animals.
 
I have no intention of going to see this movie as I've had no interest in the JP world or Chris Pratt movies for awhile, but damn Sam Neill.

I freely admit, that if this was about Chris Pratt and Various Co-Stars Who Are Not Chris Pratt defending a small dinosaur community in the forests of upper Montana from poachers and/or generic evil capitalists E.T. style... I would watch this movie. That would be like the ultimate in 80s kids movie energy which is something the Jurassic series really ought to have.

As it stands though? Meh.

The feathered velociraptor is pretty boss, though.
 
or hell, maybe the dino's aren't threatening much of anything, but tthey do sometimes get out of the reserve and that's the basis for the story.

I'm reminded of a very good essay by a writer that just said: not everything has to be a world ending threat, or the Nazis will win WWII threat. You vcan get just as much, if you're a good writer with "This could kill a few kids." All you have to do is get the audience invested in those kids.
 
Honestly Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom was so much an incoherent nonsense fever dream I might see this just to seem how deep they can dig themselves.

You know, it's funny, gbut Capt Cretaceous has a far more logical and effective plot than this movie seems to have. I mean, the big bads there...
(spoilers for camp cretaceous)
Are putting together a super tech dino-dog fighting ring for rich people to come and ogle over. Terrible, bankrupt, but nothing that is going to change the world or have people going overblown with "this could be our end!"

And yet the stakes and drama are real because they've managed to get us invested in thse six kids who being kids, not green berets in kids' bodies, are legitimately threatened by a lot of things that are happening.

I mean, Yaz, just watching the plane vaniksh into the distance, and then just collapsing bursting into tears and saying she wants her mom--that's put in more emotion than any number of OH MY GOD, THE DINO JUST ATE KENNY! scenes.
