Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Jeff Goldblum is on board!

...yeah, he was in ID4-2 too, but, well....just sayin...

I couldn't even make it all the way through Jurassic Park World.

Don't really care to watch it at the cinema, but curious how the hell they'll explain ANYONE coming into the park again after the various "mishaps" of the previous films.

Same reason people keep trying communism despite its constant failures: "This time the right people are in charge."

Well, in the Park movies, strictly speaking no one ever went back to the actual park. The second movie was about exploring "Site B" to see dinosaurs in a kind of natural habitat until the company decided to try to start a miniature version of the park in San Diego and goes there to capture a bunch of them. The third movie was about a rich couple kidnapping Dr. Grant to have him help them find their lost kid who ended up on the "Site B" island. Not sure how they're going to play the second World movie seeing as how things got so out of hand in the first movie.

My bet is they try to weaponize the dinos to eat ISIS, and shit goes wrong.
They hinted pretty heavily at military applications in World.

Jurassic World was an unbelievable pile of dino excrement.

*sigh* JP was a technical milestone back in the early 90s but nothing more. Those movies always bored me. Dinos running after people, done

You are dead to me.

People keep heading back into the holodeck . . .

Or as I like to call it...

...the 24th Century Roulette-of-Death Room.

Here's how an exchange with the computer at the holodeck door should go:

Instead, it's:

I never could process how the holodeck could be cut off from all ability to shut it the fuck down when it went crazy.
Why didn't it have a physical cutoff to its power supply outside in the corridor?
Or, a vulnerable spot you could shoot with a phaser?
Or here's an idea, non-indestructible doors.
When the plot wanted those doors stuck shut, suddenly, they were armor that could take a sun dive.
Maybe future-Janeway's Batmobile armor was holodeck doors.

I worked in an amusement park a couple of years before that movie came out, and when I saw it, I was screaming about the lack of safety features in the place. Because people won't sell you that shit without bazillions of safety features, like auto-locking doors. Also, it was the same movie as Westworld, only with dinosaurs instead of robots.

Well, Michael Crichton wrote the screenplay to Westworld, so....

Remember that in the original Jurassic Park (book and movie both) the park was some ways away from opening yet. The purpose of Grant and Sadler and the rest being there was to evaluate it for, among other things, safety.

Yes, I know, but the automated trucks they were riding in to go see the T. Rex? You cannot fucking buy them without automatic locks. Period. Paragraph. This isn't getting something like getting the strength of the fence wrong (plausible), this is like going to a new car dealership, and buying a car without brakes. You can't get one, they don't offer them, and if you even broached the idea with them, they'd laugh you out of the dealership.

Companies which sell things to amusement parks know that if something goes wrong, not only will the park get sued, but they'll get sued as well, so they don't sell things without standard safety features. The only way those Broncos could have been bought by the park without automatic locks, would be if they bought them from Ford, and converted them themselves, which is a pricey proposition (not to mention time-consuming), faster and cheaper to get them from a company which specializes in making such things. Additionally, the team was there at the behest of the park and the insurance companies underwriting the park, which means that an agent had already been there, looked over things, and had some concerns. Said agent would have checked the trucks, noticed the lack of automatic locks, and told them, flat-out, that until such things were rectified, they wouldn't insure the park. They would not have said, "Yeah, get some paleontologists in here to check out the dinos, and the other stuff."

They were Explorers, first gen. Not Broncos.

Whatever. Not a fan of Fix Or Repair Dailys.

You can also deactivate the auto locking doors using the ignition and the door lock button.

Not on those vehicles. They were not standard factory jobs. They'd been modified to run on an automated track, and couldn't be driven by the passengers. That's why the "gas Jeep" was so important. Essentially, all the Explorers were, were shells that resembled an actual Explorer. Once the passengers got into them, they would have no control over anything, because any of the controls you saw on the inside would be dummies, strictly for show. Period. Paragraph.

If you want to get super pedantic you could say that they are using strong forcefields and tractor beams and what have you to manipulate peoples position and visibility of each other, and that cutting power will be damaging to anyone inside with release of forces like popping a balloon or snapping an elastic band. For one example look at Generations and the holodeck scene on the sailing ship. Not only can people actually walk around the holodeck door (which in reality is on a wall at floor level) but they can even fall significantly below it. That's not just creatively placed holograms, there is some serious reality warping shit going on there.

Explanation I came up with for that is windowed simulations around each person.
Then they can all be standing right next to each other, but perceive each other as being under, over, miles away, etc.

I excited.

Or, you know, the writers just forgot.

None of this stuff is actually real, whatever the writers send to screen is how those fictional universes are.

So like I said, the writers forgot how holodecks work. Or, in-universe, holodecks are actually like the Tardis.

That's the entire point of the Jurassic franchise.
Where's my popcorn?

The title is "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom".
Meh, I wanted it to be Jurassic War.

The quote on the poster is wrong. It should be, "Life, uh, finds a way"

More like, Paramount finds a way...to keep this franchise alive.
