Jurassic world

I should like to see that movie. Some future scienticians find Dr. Grant entombed in a giant ball of 65 million year old amber. To save him they have to send the great-grandchildren back to the Age of the Dinosaurs. But there is a problem with their calculations and instead they end up in the original Jurassic Park. Also there would be ninjas.
Yes, Ninjas vs Velociraptors! 
I think Jurassic Park franchise ran out of possibilities. Half of the scenes in the last movie were the same as in previous movies. The story also suffers from a flaw. Concept of the plot is that dinosaurs are evil. However, most people like dinosaurs and would probably like to visit a dinosaur zoo if one existed.
I think there is more promise in remaking some other dinosaur franchise. Computer animated version of 'The Land Before Time', anyone? Or a movie version of Nigel Marven's 'Prehistoric Park' with less sleepy characters?

I can't wait to see team Owen & Blue take on the Indoraptor! Based on the new trailer it seems Dr. Wu and his team created the Indoraptor and it looks like they have to track it down. Of all that happens in the movie.....BLUE BETTER NOT DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I'm looking forward to when Iron-Man fights T-Rex with the Jedi light sabre he received from Buzz Lightyear after Captain Jack Sparrow killed Aladdin.
Disney movies are awesome.
Just heard a theory about the movie: the mutant raptor monster kidnaps the girl from her bedroom and either A) puts her up for ransom, or B) starts a Person Park for all his dinosaur buddies

I'm wondering if the bad dino in this movie is actually the dead Indominus rex from the previous movie, and he is attacking children in their dreams.
I think it's called an "Indo-Raptor", so basically a smaller I. rex with longer raptor arms (for child snatching purposes).

Hey, if they're gonna go the stupid route they might as well go all-out.

Yeah, there's only so much you can do with "dinosaurs run amok at a zoo". Jurassic World had some cool ideas but overall it was more interested in banking off of the nostalgia of the first film. (hence reusing a lot of scenes) I'm probably gonna pass on this new movie.
I agree that we should get other dinosaur movies and shows. Dinosaurs are so popular, I'm surprised that there aren't more. I'd really like to see some new, creative dino designs, along with stuff that portrays dinosaurs as real animals rather than movie monsters. I don't expect it any time soon, though, too many people still feel like their childhoods get "destroyed" when a dinosaur has feathers.

There are a lot. Starting with the best of all, the BBC series Walking with Dinosaurs, and it's sequels Prehistoric Park and Ballad of Big Al. Another great moviecumentary is Dinosaur Revolution, tough a bit exaggerated in the things that happens here. Appart of these documentaries more or less similar to movies (and for sure there are more that I don't know), there is a lot of classic style documentaries depicting the dinosaurs as the animals they was and not as monsters.
Yeah, but I'm not talking about documentaries, I'm talking about fictional films and shows.
Terra Nova was a cool idea but it was restricted by the budget. It was sold on dinosaurs but didn't have enough money to show the dinosaurs very often. Stuff like this is why I wish studios and networks were more open to adult animation for genres other than comedy. In an animated series, you can have a dinosaur as easily as you can have a parrot or a dog. An animated Terra Nova could have made dinosaurs a regular thing on the show.
If nothing else, I'm surprised that there aren't more dinosaur franchises aimed at kids. So many possibilities for toy sales! There were plans for a Jurassic Park animated series in the 90's but it never went anywhere. Currently Mattel is trying to get a live-action Dino Riders movie made, we'll see if that goes anywhere.
Also, does anyone feel like there's something meta about the premise of Jurassic World? The park directors claim that people have gotten bored of regular dinosaurs so they decide to make the supposedly cool hybrid super dinosaur. Like, did the studio behind the film think that about real viewers? They couldn't come up with more ideas to make the premise work so they went for the super dino route. In the end, the "real" dinos reign supreme, but the upcoming movie is still apparently going to prominently feature a hybrid.
At least in the beginning, it would be very popular, but not affordable for a majority of people. Normal zoos would still continue to exist.
A well-functioning park and a well-written TV series following different realistic protagonists in it- now that would have been a fresh and new take...And maybe colorful, more accurate dinosaurs would have been neat.
Probably it would become a different kind of attraction, like dolphinaria and safari parks, although some zoos would keep some dinosaurs.
Interestingly, dinosaur fossils show they laid big clutches of dozens of eggs. So dinosaur parks would probably quickly proliferate, and maybe there would be also dinosaur farms for meat (and eggs?).
Which reminds me of some ideas from the Robert Mash funny book 'How to Keep Dinosaurs'. Maybe that book might be an inspiration of another dinosaur movie. More like James Herriot - memories of a dinosaur vet.
Well, at first it would be expensive to visit, but it would still attract countless visitors from all over the world. As the tech gets cheaper, and as the animals get bred in captivity, dinosaur parks would become more common, eventually reaching a point where they're as normal as regular zoos. They'll still get tons of visitors, but they won't have the same novelty and excitement factor that they used to. Although the largest dinosaurs would probably be restricted to the biggest and most expensive parks.
Normal zoos may incorporate some dinos (and other extinct species) to attract visitors, but space and resource limitations would keep them from getting the most popular dinos anyway, and the focus on conservation would discourage them from having more than a few dinos. (and they'd probably do a lot of education stuff with the dinos to justify keeping them) Really, normal zoos would probably be more interested in having recently extinct species that could potentially be released into the wild.
And the ethics and value of extinct animal zoos would become a huge topic of discussion on ZooChat, lol.
