watching clips from Jurassic Park and World back to back makes me realize how oversaturated and aggressively color corrected today's movies like Jurassic World are. JW almost doesn't look like a 'movie', there's something about the softer film grade of the original JP that's just more inherently appealing to the eye.

@@hanburgundy4317 Practical effects look better in terms of color, lighting, texture, etc. but it tends to look unsettlingly fake when it comes to movement (which is usually a plus when it comes to horror). A combination works best: the original JP used animatronics for relatively still shots, but CG when the dinosaurs were required to DO something.

imagine how impactful a scene or two of Indominous alone, plodding through the jungle at night, with no purpose, over Owens short monologue of how she was created and raised so terribly. Maybe add in some sympathetic music for effect. Would have changed our feelings over her and the people at hand DRAMATICALLY. Unfortunately so many remakes and sequels focus on repackaging the original for nostalgia's sake, filling it with cheeky call backs that it completely forgets to be its own film/story.

It should be noted that the T-rex in Jurassic Park is never shown to explicitly hunt and consume people like the Raptors do. When Ferrero is killed on the toilet, the T-rex gives an inquisitive tilt of the head and picks him up, shaking him and obviously killing him, but it's never shown to actually eat anyone on camera. It was intentionally filmed to behave more like a curious dog than a cold-blooded killer, while the Raptors pack acts as the main antagonist of the 3rd act of the film. Now in Jurassic World, the T-rex stand-in is shown to be a calculated killer, so they send the Raptors after it? To act as our pseudo protagonists for like 20 minutes before they start hunting people as well? The Raptors have always been a hostile presence in a some way, so it just confuses the tone and makes everything a bizarre mishmash of poorly planned ideas.

@@OGrupxe The original comment is from almost a year ago, but TL;DR: to erase something implies you are hiding something. Unethical record keepers will seek to normalize their data by erasing anomalous results. This makes it appear that the record keeper has an agenda. It appears the record keeper is being dishonest and trying to make the data fit their hypothesis, rather than testing the hypothesis properly and accepting the data as they come. The agenda doesn't matter. It only matters that it appears they have one. And they often do. The ethical and honest thing to do is to mark a line through a correction, then add the new data to the record with a footnote or some other way to indicate the location of what is being corrected, the reason for the correction (new data, obsolete reference, bad art skills, misunderstood data), and any other relevant information. Even misspelled words should never be erased. Mark through and correct. You are supposed to write with a pen or some other method that makes it impossible to alter your marks without it being obvious. Your records may be used by someone else, and them knowing that a set of data was unproductive allows them to re-test, replicate, or disregard the method that caused those data to become unproductive. Not only is it ethical to show your mistakes, it is important to know why you made them, and even more important to show other people what they were, why you made them, and how to avoid making them, too. It's a huge time-saver and a lot of the reason science can progress at all without constantly having to test every variable each time. We understand that water does not boil in all conditions and temperatures, but there was a series of steps that had to be taken along the way to find out all those conditions and temperatures at which it does. Now we can use those records to jump straight to the ideal conditions we need for a given test. Once you are writing your final paper, you can correct things within the paper as needed because all the research has been done and you are just writing your conclusions based on the data within the record. Once the paper is finalized, in order to change anything you have to make reference to corrections and why and... you get the idea, I hope. honestly data collection is not for everyone.

"The film sacrificed its own story to celebrate the original." And in doing so accomplished neither its own story nor did it celebrate the original. This is what seems to always fail in these cynical sequels banking on nostalgia; they don't _get_ the original, so they can't give it the homage it deserves, but they waste so much time and effort trying that they never manage to be worthwhile on their own merits either. If regurgitated catchphrases and seeing old setpieces revisited is enough for you, they work, but if you want more you're out of luck.

Jurassic sequels have a different problem; they're mostly bad but for other reasons.

As much as I like thr jurassic park franchise, the sequeals have legitimately good concepts, ideas and overall themes. One of the biggest problems I see is the constant switching and deletion of scenes within the franchise. Like you always see people asking "oh why did it do this, what happened to that, etc" that's more of a directive desicion then a narrative one. So that criticism is usually off for me. I honeslty just want these movies to have their own identity, regardless if they are good or not. The lost world was a really good film, exploring the concept and themes of nature. The dark, gritty aspect of it. Family, and how family can get divided, and be felt vulnerable. How bad descions can have a butterfly effect of consequences etc. Granted their are some goofy moments and cut scenes. But its a good sequel overall. It told its own story, but it constantly felt like it was holding its own potential.

As Sattler, Grant and Malcolm explain to Hammond in the first film, these animals don't know what century they're in, have all of a suddenly been thrown together with man, and "What you (Hammond) call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.")

The fact the older brother cared more about impressing the next girl (notice how disinterested he was from the first girl we were introduced to) he met than dinosaurs really hit this idea home. Sure yah their story was used as stand-in characters for the audience to hammer home the nostalgia, but i feel their addition was to point at the constant reliance on new things to be satiated. The contrast between the brothers tried to show how we should live our lives like the younger brother and just enjoy the moments...the older brother later appreciating his kid brother and protecting him showed a nice arc. Also your point about grey the younger brother not revealing his knowledge about dinosaurs at any relevant time missed the mark, when the indominus was attacking he clearly notified claire that they needed 'more teeth' to handle the threat. This idea literally saved their lives as it prompted claire to unleash the trex who has 'more teeth'

Hello there AT-AT Chat! Love your Star Wars videos! I think you are to Star Wars to what Klayton Fioriti is to Jurassic Park!

i feel like this happens a lot where Hollywood tells stories that have messages that condemn themselves, yet there usually not meant to be read that way or aren’t blatant so it seems like they are just completely tone deaf

This is a very insightful essay. I really enjoyed it, and freely confess I couldn't have reached these same revelations about its content without watching this. Thanks and keep uploading.

Oh my God I love your break down of this movie. I've never seen it explained like this. Also the music you used here really played into all of it. Gonna re-watch this many times more. I can't wait for you to do a clip on the new movie when it comes out.

Great video essay! I'm always impressed by them. You know your Cinema.

Some really great insights here; thanks for sharing!

I love all the JP sequels. They all bring something to the table, usually something deeper than expected. People love to trash them because they all live in the shadow of the original, but that's just kinda the way it is when your first blockbuster is a masterpiece and you've still got a franchise to build.

Well you are free to enjoy bad things, i mean, even Windows 8 had its fans. But one claim is just objectively wrong: People don't love to trash them because some "shadow of the original", they trash them because they are worse films with weaker stories, uninteresting characters (and motivations) and worse Dino behaviour. The appreciation for JP1 is not just blind nostalgia. Thats complete nonense.

In the books, Genaro actually went back to save the kids, and he was buff as hell as well. He wasn't the typical "bloodsucking lawyer" trope.

So, I really like the younger kid as a child actor. He's a bit one note (he's almost the same exact 'kid stereotype' in Iron Man 3) but he's a kid so I sort of expect that. I don't like the kids in Jurassic World. They didnt do much of anything for the story other than act as a raised stake any time it felt like the heroes were succeeding a little too much. Thing is, Jurassic World didnt need raised stakes. The stakes have never been higher than the park being actively open when a carnivore escapes its enclosure. I didnt mind a ranger like character as a moral compass, but I did miss some of Chris' usual goofball antics; they reduced him to a reason to have raptors in the film. I feel like if he had been a newly hired park ranger still stunned by awe the way that Dr. Grant in the original film was, his character would have gone over better. I just straight up hate Claire. We went from celebrating badass women to handing the audience the most stereotypical business woman they could crank out on a silver platter, complete with demonizing her decision to put her career over having children. I love dinosaurs and the original so of course I still love this movie, but it was so frustrating coming from the original to this. The best part was bringing back Rexy for the final fight, but I also felt bad that the Indom's death was reduced to a gag. I feel like her fleeing from Rexy back into the island would have wrapped back into the idea of her trying to figure out where she fit in the food chain, as it would signal that Rexy was the apex and showed her place as such. As it was, it just makes it seem like the Mosasaur is better than either of them. True or false in real life, it's not good to celebrate the fan favorite dino from the first film only to show her up with a dino that wasnt even the main focus of any of the movies. I also have a lot to say about this movie it seems lol.

He’s a child here, so it makes sense he’d be one note, but he has a wide range on that one note. He can showcase subtle emotions at times, building them up to something more, that’s hard for even some adult actors to pull off convincingly. Sure, he’s not to the point he can give you many different characters, but if he can tap into an array of emotions and get a good emotional response from the audience, he’s being set off for a good future as he grows up and learns more.

Even if there is no tracker. I have an idea. Lets check the wall outside the enclosure. The thing weighs a ton, it'll be easy to spot the tracks.

Wonderful video, thank you so much for this.

You know, as a spino fan, I took particular notice when the T-Rex destroyed the spino skeleton in the main area of JW. That fits right in to the greater narrative that you told here, so I’d believe it.

Background music: Jurassic Park Theme 100% slower

Any of these points come across in the same way that these points do when used with The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker. Just because there is depth, doesn't mean the movie is good or fun to watch, or that it even fits in any way with the series its a part of.

Juxtaposing Colin Trevorrow with John Hammond. Some mad skills you got. Excellent video. 👏👏

I never saw it like this before. It still makes sense. I wonder if anyone has made an alternate version of this that tries to be its own thing? If not, I might have to do it myself.

The thing i loved of JW since day one was concreted by you my man: "cynism", it´s a movie that knows what it is and how you percive it and how the world would judge it, this was before most modern blockbusters felt in love with that formula; yet they used new themes and a new story.

For real. The first three movies and both books by Chrichton highlighted and illustrated that raptors - although highly intelligent and capable of working together - cannot be contained or trained or controlled.

The third movie played with the concept that the raptors could behave in a less predatory fashion when the objective switched from Hunting to preserving their young.

Sadly world took that concept and stretched it to its illogical conclusion

@@GetAwesomeGaming I always felt that the T. Rex was the main attraction; the "big" ride at the theme park, the one that everyone talks about. But, the Rex isn't or wasn't necessarily the biggest or scariest ride out there: it was the raptors. The way the first two movies handled the raptors as being _far_ too dangerous to even think about messing with was perfect; it really established how much we should fear them. JP/// going the whole maternal parents route - even to the extent of them not eating what'shisname - was an odd choice and kind of killed the mythos surrounding the raptors. Then, Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom took it a step further and made then trainable, lovable friends; big dogs. It ruined their mystique. We should NEVER look at raptors (from the audience viewpoint) as anything but disturbingly dangerous and frightening. Owen should have been wrong about his raptors the whole time; especially Blue.
