EXACTLY!!! And not only do they have the same plots and characters, they're also shot the same way...the camera's constantly flying around during the action scenes while the dialogue scenes are the dullest short-reverse shot setup you could possibly imagine, the colors are the same, just the way the scenes play out visually is identical....while I was watching this trainwreck for the first time I kept expecting Dwayne Johnson or some other generic Hollywood action hack to show up and start jumping around dodging velociraptors. We are SO far removed from what Jurassic Park originally was. Just compare this movie to the first one, or hell, even Jurassic Park III, which was pretty much a very basic jungle adventure movie with dinosaurs, feels more like a continuation of the first one than Dominion. The original had Spielberg's style all over it and was a clever and extremely well put together sci-fi-action blockbuster, this one is just an Asylum movie with a budget. And you're absolutely right about every movie feeling the same. Like you've said, all action blockbusters are the same, the only difference is the context of the story, but that doesn't matter too much in the grand scheme of things.

The Giga scene pissed me off so much when I watched it. Like this is what we waited for? A lifeless Dino walking around a car when the very first one had both cars get completely destroyed in the process of the t-Rex getting a couple snacks

The overuse of CGI shattering the sense of realism is really pronounced in the parts where you were cutting between the Rex breakout and the Giga attack. In any given part of the Giga scene I almost feel like I'm watching a videogame - I can see that there's many, many layers of compositing, the trees are CGI, the characters are on a sound stage and have been dropped in, there's that awful orange-grey colour over everything, and it does not feel like a "place". In direct contrast, the rex paddock is unified. Alan is standing on a road next to a fence, and there's a crashed car and a big dinosaur. So simple. You really do buy that, even if the dinosaur isn't real, we really are on a road, in the pouring rain, with smashed up equipment everywhere.

It took that long? I'm amazed anyone was still on board after JW, especially after Fallen Kingdom.

The closest ive felt to the type of tension AND adventurous entertainment found in jurassic park is Jordan Peele's Nope. The blood house scene feels RIPPED from the t rex escape in the first film, all while having its own individual style and stakes as well. And the climaxl gives the sense that these character are in real danger, and that there must be a creative way to stop their threat.

I honestly think Lostworld has great themes

The climactic jokersaurus scene feels more like someone filmed a family going through a Universal Studios theme park ride. Like some kind of animatronics filled haunted house type thing. Maybe the setup would work there, where nobody has to to anything too stressful or physically impactful, which is fine in an amusement park, but boring as hell in a movie.

"Just watch another Spielberg classic" Funny, I watched War of the Worlds yesterday, and I was glued to my sofa during the basement scene where they try to avoid being seen by the "tentacle", then by the aliens coming down, there's so much tension in this scene, and it's perfectly made, like at the moment where this guy wants to shoot them and Tom Cruise tries to prevent him, they have that almost fight scene but in perfect silence, while the kid is looking at the aliens. In a sense, that scene really reminded me of the kitchen scene from Jurassic Park, a scene that still gives me goosebumps and stresses me almost 30 years later, even if I know perfectly how it ends. That's how you make a good suspense.

Filmmakers seem to be under the impression that the majority of people want self-insert characters that are badass, invincible, and unstoppable. They are always the smartest and most charismatic person in the room and the top of the food chain.

JW2: Poor remake of JP2 JW3: Boring, and similar to the Emmerich movie 2012. An endless series of close encounters, but nothing happens.

It was so awesome to get a couple of recommendations for films/shows that embody the blocking/themes and ideas of Jurassic Park! I thought that was a really nice touch and a great way to wrap up the video!

That was my biggest issue with the JW movies.. they made the dinosaurs into monsters when the JP movies constantly stressed how they were animals that can't be controlled.. knowing they're hunting you like a wild animal was what made them so scary & added tension. None of the new movies feel grounded because they're written like monster movies. Someone also brought up how the intelligence of the dinosaurs is very inconsistent in the JW series. In one scene, they'll be clever & strategic, while in another scene, the same dinosaur is bursting through walls to chase people without any logic. Wouldn't they know to go around objects instead of through them? The raptors literally used doors in JP. Thank god for the locusts....

What does this video have to do with Blocking and editing though? I went in expecting to learn more about what "blocking" is and how its lacking in the film and would have improved it. But this was mostly just about how bad the film was with a short mention of bad editing in one scene. It's more a review than an analysis. And I was really looking forward to learning more about blocking too. Perhaps the title is misleading and should be fixed.

The thing that the JP sequels have increasingly gotten wrong was that the dinosaurs are not generic monster movie monsters. In the original they were animals that were a threat not because they were evil but just because they had instincts and behaviors that humans who were trying to keep them did not understand and had not bothered to understand and it was human arrogance that was the real threat. Every sequel has moved away from that portrayal of the dinosaurs.

The final line of this video will stick with me forever. No truer words have been said.

Camp Cretaceous makes a far better sequel to Jurassic World than Fallen Kingdom or Dominion. Those last two films go so off the rails of what people would want to see in a Jurassic movie. Modern Hollywood is so out of touch.

I noticed In each Jurassic World film they go up against a Dinosaur version of a classic slasher villain. The Indominus Rex is Jason Voorhees The Indo Raptor is Freddy Krueger The Giganotosaurus is the Chatterer Cenobite

No one dies at the end scene with that ladder part. Jurassic Park now has to be safe for all ages, and a main character getting hurt or dying will scare the soccer moms from wanting to take the kids. Again, the kids would love it, but the moms need a safe movie.

But I really enjoyed all the "its Jason bourne" references! As learn more about story craft It really bothers me when writers don't push their characters to the breaking point and really test their metal. But rather play it safe and give us fake tension. I love stories that push the protagonist to the point where they question everything they ever believed where you really see if they will hold that belief or fall to the pressure of the antagonist

Now this is a video essay that has something to say. Well done.

This was a fantastic breakdown! I do think it should be noted that this was entirely shot during the pandemic- being the first film back in production during the hight of it. You can clearly see, from all your great examples , that simple things like blocking were sublimated due to the protocols. For me it’s interesting seeing the film try to create continuity when they clearly don’t have the footage necessary, or the characters have to be staged in a way that complies with the protocols and works for the story. It’s a mess. But from a film making standpoint I can’t help but watch and learn from these “mistakes”/circumstances. Staging this many actors, in a single shot, at the height of the pandemic, seems like a fools errand.

Great video man! I haven't seen this movie and you pretty much listed the reasons why I'm not interested haha. I knew it would turn out like this. I agree with Tarantino's recent statement that we are in the worst era of films... Ya there have been great movies obviously but we also keep getting these piles of crap that are taking advantage of nostalgia and rehashing classics. This is why I love directors like Christopher Nolan, incredibly creative directors that are genuinely changing the game with each movie they make (original stories and groundbreaking filmmaking). Let's hope the era we are in corrects itself and we get some quality filmmaking that's worth our time and money.

When I thought the series couldn’t get worse after fallen kingdom, dominion happened. Sad to see how my most cherished franchise, was literally dragged through the mud and killed. There have been moments, although microscopic, that kind of seemed like the JP of old, but nope. The last 2 entries easily should kill off the franchise as a whole.

Brilliant analysis, and completely spot on

HA !!! The Film Genius is BACK... FINALLY !! MORE !!!

In defense of the Giga scene, it didn’t outright attack them to invoke the “animal” like behavior a predator would display. As portrayed in the Trex vs giga scene earlier, they didn’t fight to the death. It was a small scuffle over food, like real animals would do. The giga would be curious of the humans instead of outright attacking them Also the CGI is top notch and some of the giga’s body is out of frame next to the jeep, to invoke its massive size. Sucks the rest of the scene wasn’t good, and for it being the largest theropod in the series; it was sorely underused

A two legged creature with a hump on its back, weird eyes, and is farting bubbles (air tank). That shark is gonna be curious.

The movie is SAFE because they turned an adult movie about the dangers of genetic engineering and humans playing God, into a movie about simply dinosaurs being kinda cool. The studios, producers, and directors of these new batch of JP movies, think that adult audiences are too stupid to want a thoughtful movie that uses Dinosaurs as a means to tell a larger story/critique of human nature/society so they aim these movies at prepubescent kids. I know this because I showed the original Jurassic Park to some 6 year old kids and they got scared. But they saw this movie no problem.

It’s frustrating when you as the audience can picture more effective shot composition as you’re seeing it for the first time. The first thing I think of is actually the beginning of Terminator Dark Fate. John and Sarah are at the beach, And the T-800 just abruptly walks up into frame and shoots John. In the theater, I thought of how much more effective and scary it would be, to see over Sarah’s shoulder, as the T-800 slowly and casually emerges from the water, out of focus in the background, Walking away stage left as she narrates what’s happening, Then he walks in from the left now in the foreground. Today’s blockbuster films are missing that technical efficiency, showing us as much story as possible with every aspect of production.

In Dominion they wrote it that most of the dinosaurs released at the end of Fallen Kingdom had been rounded up and put in a massive reserve so the movie didn't have to go to much effort showing the dinosaurs actually being a threat to the human population, only to have flying dinosaurs attack the plane as they flew over the reserve. That and having a scene with two large dinosaurs attacking hundreds of people in the streets of Malta, and it's never mentioned again. That and the movies making out like the main characters don't or won't harm dinosaurs, only to kill about five during the motorcycle chase scene in Malta. That and the agency tasked with stopping dinosaurs smugglers just standing, staring, with firearms and tranquilisers in their hands as the woman slowly sets the laser onto them for the dinosaur to attack. I can hardly believe how people continue to lap up such plot hole ridden films.

I do agree that JW D has a real issue of not wanting to kill any decently tiered good guys. Now that I think of it, that’s a running problem with the JW trilogy. No one significant dies on the good guys. Like at best you get a C- character like Hammond clone or the babysitter. Where in the JP trilogy we had lots deaths. And I don’t want it to seem like o want deaths for the sake of it. I don’t. I just don’t want it to seem like our heroes are invincible and make the dinosaurs an actual threat.

I wanna also say they definitely play favorites in the dinosaur depictions, somehow Rexy is always shown in a heroic light and given special treatment, she never actively hunts, hurts or kill anyone of the main characters she is just always there to save them from other dinosaurs or execute the evil humans despite never being trained to act this way. Blue she was trained so, Rexy should have been depicted more like a crocodile, only out for herself and sure she can be directed at an enemy but she shouldn't be shown this benevolent. Its similar spineless storytelling that the animals can't be wild or dangerous anymore.

The dinosaurs are just the method of delivery. It is, for all intents and purposes, a modern retelling of Frankenstein. This is what none of the sequels understand.
