I can actually remember the last time I went to a theater specifically, it was when Star Trek Beyond was out and I needed to kill a few hours away from my house when it was up for sale. I left that one disappointed too. So while I might watch it eventually it probably won't be soon. I don't really go for new movies anyway without essentially glowing reviews from people I think agree with me ideologically.
Probably even more telling is my kid cousin told me he's going to either get it from Redbox or wait for it to be on streaming. This is a kid who's been into dinosaurs since he was tiny and currently has gotten me playing some Jurassic World park building game with him and has me helping him hack his phone to get infinite money in some Jurassic World gacha game. Yet they can't even win that audience to the theater.
I'd go as far to say I like the communal aspect of going out (in moderation), but only with people I already know. I don't even try to make more friends, I don't have that many but it's enough and I trust them. I'd almost argue a movie is the opposite of a social event though, you are just sitting with people watching quietly. Yeah, I went to a lot of movies as a teenager with others, but now 20 years later I'd much rather watch a movie by myself and spend that friend time doing something else, even if it was as simple as just sitting around having a drink in the backyard.
The last times I thought it was worth it was the last classic movie week at the Cinerama (F) in Seattle. Being able to see Lawrence of Arabia and 2001 (especially 2001, since it was filmed for Cinerama) on the big screen was a hell of an experience.
The original novel was pretty forward-thinking when it comes to dinosaurs, and thus so was the first film. Since then however of course our estimations of what they were like has moved onwards still.
Should be noted that Jurassic Park is...A fictional universe. Where Velociraptors were LITERALLY six foot tall scaled monsters, as proven by the introduction of Sam Neil's character.
Remember Jurassic Park is a fictional universe, dinosaur size and intelligence has nothing to do with reality. Hence why there's dinosaurs with cloaking devices in the second book.
The origin for Velociraptor being oversized is basically due to Deinonychus being called 'velociraptor' at the time, thus in his book he upscaled them to around human height (which is still bigger than the historical thing anyways so there's that)
But in any case I cannot stand faggot 'paleontologist' wannabes who don't understand that Jurassic Park is a fiction, and as it turns out fiction tends to not be REAL!
I think the claim was that there's another dinosaur that is that size but doesn't have a cool name. He mixed them up either by accident...or on purpose 'cause the name sounded cooler.
They discuss climate change, altering people's genes (for their health, of course!), there's footage of a baby being injected with a DNA altering vaccine, women are all the best and most competent characters while the males tend to be in the background, and a literal "SHIEETTT" yelling black woman is more important than Sam Neil and Chris Pratt.
Went with friends. Was entertaining, and had a very good balance between cg and practical effects. Plot was barebones and the second half was just gratuitous.
There was one on-the-nose line where the black chick quips about redheads shortly after replacing the female redhead lead for a brief segment.
On the woke-o-meter, the movie is about a 6/10, with 10 being maximum woke. it could have been worse.
They had about 40-50% of the total screen time. They also get a decent amount of respect, though the script goes out of its way to show Grant was single and alone.
Really? People that post here STILL go to see Pedowood movies? Has nothing been learned at all?

The small screen is an injustice inflicted on LoA. Big screen or bust.
Now it's more like Turok, Son of Stone.
Where every dinosaur just lives to eat human flesh. Including the stegosaurs and brontosaurs.

That's called a retcon, and retcons are commonly fucking stupid.
How do you explain the six foot tall fossil which Alan Grant digs up?
The faggot kikes who made Jurassic World never watched the film...Or read the book for that matter.
The raptors were oversized in the novel as well, and nobody including the several DINOSAUR EXPERTS point it out as being wrong.
Explicitly the only differences the dinosaurs have in the books/films are that their behaviors might be incorrect and they might have health issues.

Saw the film, and I am not making this shit up.

If we're talking about 0 being 'not woke at all' and 10 being 'all woke'.
Then yeah, 6/10 sounds about right. Which is fucking bullshit because the previous films were nowhere near as heavy handed.
Oh I should also add they talk about putting chips in animals to control them...
Ill pirate it eventally and 30 sec skip whenever a woman is talking.
Oh god, that'd be a ten minute movie tops...
Once you start the habit its becomes hard to watch movies and tv shows all the way through without that power.
This is my strategy for all modern entertainment.
I know, saves me so much time
why would you go

Not interested in any movie. If you're thinking about it, at least pirate it. Do DDL or torrent with VPN or something.
Maybe I'll watch a cam so I can give a report. I'm morbidly curious too.
JP hasn't been good since Michael Crichton wrote them.
