I still can tell if Dr. Wu was supposed to be bad or not. He certainly didn't come off as bad in the first one. In this one he just defended his position as saying "I just did what you asked me to" I guess it was a cliche bad guy move to fly away in the helicopter at the end.
Well to be honest, I think he exhibited a bit of a God complex. But I can understand given what he does. Most Dr's seem to have it also. But he was under immense pressure from InGen, the park, and from outside labs, to create dino's and keep the park up to date, and ground breaking as far as creatures go. But to be honest, looking back at the other 3 movies, they really didn't seem to be on the edge of innovation. They had the same dino's as the last 3 movies minus the IRex.

JW would need some major PR work.
"yea... so we created this new dinosaur... it got out... we couldn't stop it... so we set some raptors and a T-Rex loose to go kill it."
"Don't worry, we tranquilized all the birds."

Something else I was wondering. Where was the old park in relation to the new one? Was the new park built over it, or was it infused. It seemed that the old visitor center was much further north since the kids came across it after being in the valley which is north of the current visitor hub. How did they steer the TRex into his new cage?

The characters can’t be that stupid, can they?
They can and are.
Do you have examples?
Do I! Well, let’s begin with the fact that besides making yet another park full of killer dinosaurs, and then genetically engineering bigger, more efficient killer dinosaurs, the park — sorry, the World seemingly employs absolutely zero zoologists or structural engineers. This is a problem if you want to make sure the dinosaurs 1) do not escape and 2) have been content enough in captivity that if they do escape, they don’t spend all their time trying to kill as many park attendees as possible.
Really? They don’t have anyone?
Well, they have Chris Pratt, a Navy guy who has been hired to… train group of velociraptors… for… maybe military purposes, even though Pratt seems aghast whenever someone mentions using them for military purposes. Anyway, he moonlights as the sole animal behaviorist and final arbiter of dinosaur enclosure adequacy, which we know because the rich guy who owns Jurassic World, upon seeing the Indominus for the first time — wants Pratt to check it out. Pratt immediately sees that everything is screwed, and if the Indominus ever gets out, it’s going to kill everybody.
Why does Pratt know so much about dinosaur behavior?
It’s all those dinosaur classes the Navy makes its recruits take. Anyways, then the Indominus gets out.

quote:well, I guess it depends on how you view the critter. It's a predator with an instinct to eat you, but (in theory) it's been raised in captivity, and that is the life it knows. If you keep it well fed, it should be relatively docile. I'd imagine that you could just put a couple sides of beef in it's pen, and when it gets hungry, that will be the first place it will go looking for food. Then you close the gate.

Blue would be a different issue, though; it would be dangerous to the various population, but I almost think it would try to track Chris Pratt's character, seeking the pack leader to follow. You lure it back that way, but I think it would be pretty wary to try to trap.

That article sums up my thoughts in a more coherent and humorous way. Good read.

Cool thing is, when they start the next movie Mike Papajohn is on the chopper with Dr Wu

I just got out a little bit ago. From a plot and character standpoint it was the stupidest and most clichéd movie that I've seen since Pacific Rim. Really, it pretty much was Pacific Rim in style. I just saw it as a monster movie. It sure was pretty though, and it had some pretty good action movie type humor.

I really enjoyed the movie. the only real thing i didn't care for in the movie, well 2 things
1. the entire divorce plot. Why? it serves no purpose
2. i don't care for the older brother at all.
other than that, this isn't' citizen kane lol. i give it a solid 9.5 out of 10.

Chris Pratt saves him in that hallowed out tree and then everyone just forgets he exists?
Wasn't he wandering around the hangar at the end of the movie?

I don't really have a problem with this. The main brach of the military that has researched using animals in combat is the Navy for Dolphins. This could have been his thing and maybe just had a knack for working with animals. Sometimes someone doesn't need classes, they are are just good at what they do.

It was a fun movie, but it really wasn't any better than any other forgettable disposable summer action flick. 6.5/10 for me. Chris Pratt's charisma is the only thing that may have made it any better than the other Jurassic sequals.

"Lol at that tourist trying to save his margaritas"
Supposedly Jimmy Buffett is the guy saving the margaritas in that scene...lol.

JP3 was just awful on pretty much every level. The story line of this one made it easily the best of the sequels IMO. I don't disagree with your rating though.

As a huge fan of the original, I loved this movie and how they tied it in.
I just wonder why the Dino Paddocks didn't have double gates like prisons do. The first gate would have to be closed before the gate to the outside world could be opened. Fail on the part of those park engineers.

This is what makes it believable to me though.
The park has been a huge success with no real incidents. This makes it easy to become complacent and to put your guard down.

thats a fantastic point and one i think would have been so easy to make a bigger statement on.
yes they showed pimply faced teenagers running the rides and such, but obviously getting the park up, running and open would have been a monumental achievement. it would have gone so well with the movie's themes to show more of how it was humans being complacent/overconfident and not just downright stupid that led to the disaster
