I did my pre order this morning. Does Target always take the money out of your account before the item is shipped? I noticed that it already showed up on my online banking 15 minutes after I ordered.

They do pre-auth charges once in a while, super annoying.

Yep this was one of those times.

Yeah I pre-ordered something a couple months ago and every few weeks I get an email notification that the amount has been charged from Target and it takes me a split-second to remember.
And if you change your card out before the actual date, be sure to be quick and change your payment info in Target's website or they'll swiftly cancel your order. (All this to say I don't recommend pre-ordering from Target.)

Here's my non-spoiler movie content review after seeing this one at the theater earlier this evening...


Years after genetically engineered dinosaurs wreaked deadly havoc at the Jurassic World theme park on Isla Nublar, Claire, a former park manager played by Bryce Dallas Howard, and Owen, a Velociraptor trainer played by Chris Pratt, return to the island to rescue the creatures from possible extinction due to a volcanic eruption. Unbeknownst to them, however, their billionaire employer has a more avaricious agenda in mind for the dinosaurs and their DNA. Claire, Owen, and their team of paleo-enthusiasts are inevitably demoted to the bottom of the food chain as they are left to fend for themselves while monsters and mayhem surround them.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is my favorite film in the Jurassic Park franchise since Steven Spielberg's original 1993 blockbuster. This is not saying much, since all of the sequels have been blatant cash grabs, complete with action sequences that are just inferior clones of the highlights from the first movie. This latest entry is no exception, and it never rises above mere surface level popcorn entertainment, but, without revealing overt spoilers, I thoroughly enjoyed a change in location setting that occurs halfway through the story and places our protagonists in a claustrophobic environment reminiscent of haunted house movies. This final hour is where director J.A. Bayona, who also helmed the 2007 Spanish horror masterpiece, The Orphanage, really finds his footing. One late scene, where a particularly fearsome dinosaur edges closer to a character who is cowering in bed, earns my vote as the most visually effective horror moment of the series since the Tyrannosaurus Rex introduction in the original.

Ted Levine, who is best known as “Buffalo Bill” in the 1991 film, The Silence of the Lambs, is fun to watch here as a rugged mercenary who joins in on the island expedition. A couple of veterans from the first Jurassic Park movie also have welcome appearances.

In terms of storytelling, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is illogical nonsense across the board as it races us from one sensory overload set piece to another. During the final 15 minutes, the characters make a bewilderingly unwise decision that will leave viewers laughing and shaking their heads. If you are skeptical about the idea of sitting through another pointless sequel that seems solely geared towards pitching Universal Studios amusement park rides on the audience, then this one will not change your mind. I'm nonetheless compelled to give it a solid thumbs-up, because I love the enclosed setting during the final half and because a handful of scenes have a visual “oomph” to them that has not been present in any of the other sequels.

I also have to tip my hat to Bryce Dallas Howard's character for at least trading her awesome high heels for a pair of sensible boots during the action scenes this time around. Her first scene in this movie will earn a smile from those who remember her from the previous film.

This will be a perfect Black Friday title just like the first one was. Unless I wind up loving the movie I may wait it out. I can't see this being released before October anyway, just a month wait.

Already know I'm getting the WM exclusive Blu and the Target exclusive UHD. 3D will depend but I'll probably go for it just to complete my set. I'll pass on the Steelbook.
I think I tripled dipped on JW when it was first released. Bookend set with 3D, WM Tin Lunchbox, and Barnes & Noble DVD with mini posters. Eventually bought another DVD with the LEGO short and the UHD collection.

If I like the movie, I'll get the Target 4K exclusive. If I don't, I'll get the regular UHD on sale. Waiting to see this with my cousin, hopefully Sunday.

Day 1. Awesome movie. Extremely entertaining.

[Kryptonian]

Is there not a dinosaur gift set version like there was with the trilogy and the last JW movie?

There's this Wal-mart exclusive.

No, I was talking about the statues like the previous versions. I could care less about a keychain.

Oh, you're talking about this?

EDIT: or this?

[Show spoiler] That's one fugly T-rex, did Hasbro make it?

I doubt they're doing anything like that this time around. (or at least I haven't seen or heard anything)
JW: Fallen Kingdom, regardless of how one feels about it, was/is nowhere near as hyped or as profitable as the last film was.

Jurassic World was the highly successful revival of a popular franchise that had been dead for 14-years, Fallen Kingdom is just another sequel.
14-years of anticipation makes a huge difference.

Cool set.

What I noticed strange are the two bottom discs. They don't look round to me at the top.
(Perhaps they're not discs, just paper inserts.)

Correct, they're protective cardboard sleeves for the actual discs.
(not my pics)

I myself am happy with my lunch-box edition.

Yep something like that. I have that one and the T-Rex one from the trilogy set. I was hoping to add a third one to my collection.
