Well, if you're going to get into the sequels, then you've got all sorts of giant monsters to work with. Rampage Total Destruction has like 30 characters in it.

Yes, well. What I mean to say is this pleases me.

Think of how much better the explosions will look!
...cuz that’s why people watch these movies, right? Explosions? Brooding? Eh?

Huh. I actually went to this movie with my then-girlfriend-now-wife, and we liked it well enough. It's fine as a fun little date movie. But I'd completely forgotten this movie existed until you reminded me of it, that's how forgettable it is.
EDIT: Also, looking up the first movie now... that's a ridiculously star-studded voice cast.
... okay you win.
Holy shit. But I wonder if it'll be like Kung Fu Panda--lots of big names that hardly say a word.
I can already tell by the trailer that Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom can fuck off. At first I was happy we might get some resolution when they left Blue alone after the rest of her pack was killed off for funzies, but that last scene? No thanks.
I think the difference between the original trilogy and these new movies is that the people making the original movies, good and bad, saw the dinosaurs as animals, whereas the people making these new ones see them as special effects monsters. I'm more of the former, so I really don't feel like watching a bunch of animals getting burned alive or drowning. Imagine a movie where you did the trailer's final scene with dogs, and that's pretty much why I'm not seeing this movie.

I agree with this, so much. Why would someone want a whole movie that's about the forest fire scene in Bambi?

Thank you; that's a perfect example.
Here's the trailer so we can see what Zero Esc is ranting about. 
I didn't even see the first Jurassic World. I doubt I'll bother with this. Also, am I wrong, or didn't they do the "running from dinosaurs in a ball" thing in the last one, too? I swear it looks shot-by-shot exactly the same.

1:58 mark of that. Star lord dies from Pyroclastic flow. From wikipedia:
They are SO dead.
He's dead. Set ON FIRE by 1,000 degree gases. Hell, it has the name "pyro" in it. It's HOT. And FYI the speed of sound (at sea level, of which they're clearly close enough on that island) is 761mph, which btw that flow is going MORE THAN HALF THE SPEED OF SOUND.
They are SO dead.
They did; the balls were the "safe off roading" vehicle designed to allow visitors to observe dinos up close. So it's more of a call back than anything; they are using the vehicle left on the island to get around , I guess.
I get all that. I'm saying the fact that, as far as I know, it's a shot-for-shot reenactment. A callback is one thing. Doing it exactly the same as the last is another.

Yeah, they aren’t killing him off. It’ll be smoke or something that doesn’t make him a pile of ash.
Well, for the next attempt at an American adaptation of anime...

That’s brilliant.
Ah, that's right. I'd forgotten. Kati used to sell used books, and I forgot there was an uptick in the sales of that title.

...huh.
But how do the humans get lose?

Opposable thumbs.
Alternately: The dinosaurs get bored of human exhibits, so greedy executive dinosaurs bioengineer more dangerous humans with the X gene.
WTF is wrong with her eyes? That's just...no.
Nice choice of music for the trailer though.
But that's like, the 1st thing to take into account when building human proof cages..
I'd watch that!
