Jurassic Park was unbelievable, but it was a good, entertaining flick. The trick with these movies is to distract you enough from the believability aspect just enough for you to get sufficiently entertained so that when all is said and done, you find yourself looking past the believability aspect in spite of the utter walking all over reality. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull failed horribly at this. Jurassic Park was fantastic at it. It brought you back to your childhood love of dinosaurs, and you were in awe when you first saw them on the screen. You forgot that it was all cgi and animatronics. This one almost made it. Almost.

Chris Pratt is a very likable guy. He's an everyman's guy. A guy's guy. I get what you mean when you say you can't see him as a leading man, but he's done it twice and I'm telling you, I believe that in Guardians, he held his own quite well. But that's how the StarLord/Peter Quill character was written. Another issue I had with Jurassic World's writing: Pratt's part was completely serious. It's like he was completely tense all the time. There was no break in his serious demeanor. Pratt has got comedic chops. He's good at being goofy. Not Carrey goofy, but you know, one of those guys that makes you smile and they don't overdo it. It goes to his likability. He's got great timing in that respect. He should be in parts that play up to that aspect of his acting ability. Or they should rewrite the parts slightly to play up to that aspect. The writers dropped the ball in that respect here. Even Sam Neill had some zingers here and there in the first one to break up the seriousness every once in a while. And that's what this movie needed, a little break in the tension here and there. A leading man who was written a little more human and showed a tad bit of humor here and there when appropriate.

My comment was a little tongue in cheek. I've heard that unbelievable description a few times now and it's a movie about what? Oh yes recreating dinosaurs and opening theme parks

I understand and agree with your thoughts on Pratt....he read a pretty brutal mean Tweet about himself, paused and then did the - awwwww I've loved him ever since

I apologize. I haven't really talked about very many movies in a while and I guess I just really wanted to riff on this one.

[Hal-9000]

Never a worry.....verbose equals a thought process equals an extra 60 seconds to read, oh no

[Hal-9000]

I don't like the reviews that have a picture, then " It was ok I guess "

I enjoyed it.

Second film in a trilogy (technically they're making 4 films). Teen dystopian film series where civilisation is enclosed within walls and divided into factions. Each faction has different traits and responsibilities. Some people are factionless (outcast) and some are divergent (can't be categorised into just 1 faction). The divergent people are considered a threat to the faction system. Main character is divergent and she must fight/flee to survive.

W.T.F

 

Reminded me of one of those cheesy 'Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus' type films. Except, in this case, it's genetically modified T. Rex vs T rex vs Raptors who are led on a hunt by their alpha male human on a motorcycle vs Shamu the Sea World dinosaur.

Then as soon as genetically modified T.rex is killed, the main character gives the Raptor a look and that stops it from attacking the humans. Then they cue the ''we're safe'' music while normal T. Rex and Raptor are still on the loose. LOL

C.G.I was impressive. Story heavily lacking.

Strangers on a Train (1951)

Very Good Movie.

Good Kill





Ethan plays a drone pilot and questions some of the kills. Good time waster and the movie wasn't afraid to support both sides of the collateral damage issue.

The Signal




Interesting sci-fi movie that went in a totally different direction than anticipated.

Watched this last night. I've read the three books. I think the person playing the lead was a poor choice...bad actress and she is not the short, lethal little package described in the books. And as usual they changed some significant plot points that made no sense.

[deebakes]

took my kids to it tonight, they both loved it. it was funny at a number of parts and a great popcorn movie

[DemonGeminiX]

Did you hang around for the mid- and after-credits scenes?

Mad Max Fury Road




I liked it. Not a remake of the first yet it somehow contained the mood of the original. It's one long road trip of modded vehicles and violence

The only strange thing is Tom Hardy is a pretty good actor, not sure what he's doing in this limited role
