I like Covenant for the most part. Its not without problems. No film is.

I loved Jurassic world. I think it is a very good movie. I would say its a quality movie. I like the meta touches in there.

I think this movie is going to entertain me.  I am excited for it.

I think there are many films out there that are perfect or let's say near perfect, Alien for one, it's  a world apart from Covenant.  That of course doesn't mean that the movie has to be perfect or even good to be entertaining, because the film industry would have collapsed completely if this were the case. Lucky for Hollywood, people are easily entertained, and often the shallower  content, the more easily it can be digested by the geneal audience who's attention span is decreasing by the day (not aimed at you).
I guess we both can agree that Jurassic World isn't on the same level as JP, right?

Absolutely.

JP is one of my top 5 movies. For me there is not much on its level.

I would say that Alien is as close to perfect, for me, as a film gets. ( Its my all time fav ).

Like you say. A film does not have to be perfect to be good. I think JW has much more about it than the average blockbuster. It ticked all the boxes for me.

Regarding this movie. It one trailer. Clearly it's not working for you but don't judge of 1 trailer. Give the film the chance that you want to give it without a negative bias and you may Be suprised. That's always my attitude.

I'm not massively versed in the genre of dinosaur films (JP is about it) but I like they're doing something a little different (for JP ASAIK) with the whole eruption angle. It's not just a retread in terms of the broad-story.

Totally.  I like where they are going with this. I have faith.

It's a rescue mission. You'll love it. There are some juicy dinosaurs that need to be rescued from an exploding island.

I'm actually digging this plot.

I didnt care for the trailer. That was not well edited.
And yeah, i totally want to see the feel good dinosaur movie
where dozens of dinos drown horribly after falling off a cliff.
Now that's quality entertainment.
Anyone remember when these films werent aiming to be depressing af?  :D



But out of all the criticisms that you can level at the film..
this is the silliest one, surely?

Story makes absolutely no sense at all IMO.

Why would anybody take the obvious risks to catch and rescue all those dinosaurs when there is
a) a second dinosaur ecosystem established on Sorna since TLW and
b) you could easily clone the Dinosaurs again.

Yeah who gives 2 shits about saving wild animals from a
horrible death by fire, lava, giant boulders falling from the sky or being
suffocated by the sheer amount of volcanic ash in the air?

Who gives a f**k about empathy anymore?  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I've seen actual film critics criticizing the movie on this level....
and i feel like it's worth pointing out how weird it is.

This looks too much like JW.  The cast does absolutely nothing for me.  Sam Neill and Laura Dern actually have intelligence and charisma.  I love the first movie but the sequels are not much IMO.

Well, it's not that we're speaking about fluffy wombats or koalas or endangered rhinos - the risk of losing the whole team by getting eaten far outweighs the empathy in this one.
BTW: At the end of the day, all those dinosaurs are just manufactured products. They do no have any value in terms of biodiversity here.

Do you understand how you're making yourself look? :D

"it's not a fluffy animal, who gives a f**k?"

I never said "it's not a fluffy animal, who gives a f**k?".
I do encourage you to read my last post again. Entirely.

I'm really interested to see what Bayona's work will look like overall. He's a MUCH more talented director than Trevorrow, so that's a good point.
