My movie prediction is that just when Pratt’s character is overtaken by the volcanic ash, Blue bursts through the cloud carrying him on his back to a tired fanfare.
I will almost certainly not be seeing this movie. If they had at least done something interesting with Jurassic World (like have those annoying kids get eaten, or did something with Wu other than have him stand there with a clipboard), maybe I’d be on board, but I’m betting this will just be a modern take on JP: Lost World (which I have no interest in watching again).
I predict this movie is going to make a lot of money, and I am going to be one of the contributors. I like dinosaurs. I like Wu. I like Pratt, there are a lot of things I like. I don’t go to Jurassic Park based movies, any more, for their stellar storytelling. That’s been pretty sucky since #2.
If I don’t have to see fake tears and silly uninteresting conversations about divorce and a weirdo punish the business women approach, it’s already an improvement from the last one.
That’s my attitude as well. Yes it’s going to be dumb, but that’s the expectation now. We go for the special effects, and if something cool happens with the story or there’s interesting character development, that’s icing on the cake.
Honestly, I’m hoping they double down on the whole “kill innocent people who have done nothing wrong” part of Jurassic World. That could be like a signature of the new series.
