JURASSIC WORLD 4: Rebirth Trailer 2

[RoughCoronet0]

Not really sure if I will care to see the movie (Though I have always been a fan of the franchise for the worldbuilding/lore and nostalgia factor), but the concept of alien-dinosaurs experiments running amok does sound sick as heck honestly.

Honestly a far-future setting in which humans had to abandon the Earth and now a team had to return, only it's been entirely populated by dinosaurs... Could be fun!

Just do not call it 65, that movie was not that good.

Just took my teens to see this. It was decent. Hit all the right beats. A bit predictable. A little bit of a surprise at the end. Worth seeing in the theater, I reckon.

The family vs the t-rex in the river sequence was probably the highlight for me.

What I want to know is - These mutants have been left alone on this island for like, what, 50 years now? How has the Xeno-Rex not killed and eaten everything else already?

OK so it turns out that the lab was established during the time of the Jurassic World park, not the original Hammond park. The mutants left behind on the island were being deliberately created to wow jaded audiences. It isn’t made explicit that I could see, but this lab is probably where they created the Indominus Rex.

The movie establishes that the mutant dinosaurs have only been alone on the island for 17 years.

Also, this island is in the Atlantic, not the Pacific, and yet it appears to have some ancient Aztec-like temple in a mountain? That's pretty interesting.

Sadly there is no discussion about the origins of the ancient Aztec-style temple. But it clearly wasn't built by InGen, so I guess the idea is just that some Aztec-like civilization once lived on the island, which the movie establishes is off the cost of French Guiana.

Next movie: Tomb of the Undead Aztec Dinosaurs.

Oh, by the way, while the movie has much to say about climate change and other weighty topics* throughout its 2-hour runtime, its most important message comes right at the beginning: don’t litter.



*Man’s arrogance, man’s inhumanity to man, the growing disparity between rich and poor, etc.

I went to see this with a friend and it gave me exactly what I wanted from a Jurassic Park/World movie.

No real complaints other than that the movie didn't do enough with the mutant dinosaur aspect (the mutadons and distortus rex could have been replaced with raptors and a t-rex without changing anything) and it was too obvious which characters were going to be killed off.

I want to see a Trans-Human Dino-xenomorph mutant zombie from hell

The one who wasn’t killed at the end surprised me a little.


Also, my 13 yo said after that she’d been hoping the boyfriend would get eaten.

I actually saw the fake-out death coming, it's obvious once you realize who they wouldn't kill off. But it purposefully averting the heroic sacrifice and other tropes improved the movie in my opinion.

Agreed. In this case, the fact that he was willing to make that sacrifice only to survive was satisfying.

I must say I did appreciate the subplot of the jaded mercenaries choosing to be better people. The fact that they were literally seeking to save people’s hearts was perhaps a little on-the-nose, but I didn’t mind.
