Hey! I won't argue about some of the OTHER MOVIES (some I haven't seen) but dissing Dino movies doesn't sit well with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love dinosaur movies! I have ALWAYS loved dinosaur movies! I started loving them when I was like 8 or 9 years old and I REFUSE to stop now!!!
It's my one "guilty pleasure" left (aside from a couple others ) and I'm NOT abandoning it! I don't care if the movie uses modern quality cgi or was made in 1958 and used men in rubber suits!!!
I'll let the Critical Drinker handle this one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDN5b9L2hrQIt's chock full of 'memberberries, despite not even being a JJ Abrams flick. And the Indomitus Rex psuedo-saur and its plot armor was ridiculous. Knowing the location and purpose of its tracking implant? Ugh.
The park was seriously under-gunned for the creatures it possessed. IIRC, the original 1993 movie had each animal deprived of a hormone that would result in its death if it didn't get its supplements regularly. This one had no similar control mechanism, nor implanted micro-cyanide or explosives that would cause an aneurysm or similar auto-kill for the dinos. The MG on the helicopter wasn't a .50, I don't think. I'd expect the park to own an APC or light tank with sufficient power to kill the largest land animal they had on site, as well as a contract with Raytheon for modified Javelin systems that can lock on to a specific animal RFID serial number or biological thermal signature. A SWAT-like team with shoulder fired small arms intended for human warfare? You're lacking understanding of "SWAT" as an acronym entirely. Ridiculous.
If you've got hundreds of carnivorous pterosaurs that will prey on human sized game, then you have more layers of security than the initial containment vessel. And their "Main Street" attraction area should have had multiple discrete bomb shelter entrances with doors large enough to accept a flow of people at least 2 wide, but small enough to prohibit large predators from entering, which would lead underground. I'm still lost in regards to the pterosaurs and their source. My impression is the bird cage is from the Hammond era, and the animals within are several breeding generations removed and somehow able to survive while contained within (which is patently ridiculous). And the new park was built on the same island, with no effort to eradicate the Hammond pterosaurs or integrate them into the attractions and reinforce their containment.
I do appreciate how the 2nd movie in the franchise ended up releasing the dinosaurs into the rest of the world. That's an ecological catastrophe that in real life would be a massive risk to life due to the predators, and risk to infrastructure due to the sheer size of most of the rest of the creatures, that would have the National Guard out trophy hunting, and bounties in place for anything that could be killed by conventional small arms that the large/dangerous game hunting community possessed. I'm hoping to see how the 3rd movie will play out, but I'm sure it'll turn into some sort of leftist pap with a comically evil hunter much like Percival McLeach from Rescuers Down Under. Even though they already did that once in the 90's trilogy, memberberries evidently make enough money to run the concept again.
