Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

[robgmun]

Yep, whatever the quaility of the movies. The CGI has always been the absolute best the technology has been available at the time in every movie.

I just hope that they restore the original warm colour timing for the 4K trilogy blu-ray release. We know that they'd use the 2013 4K scan for JP1. But for JP2 and JP3, they'll most likely use the 1080p master and upscale it, like they did with The Mummy 2 and 3 on UHD. So, there will be lots of mosquito noise (not grain) in parts 2 and 3. But, I hope they at least get the colours right. The current 2D blu-ray colours are not just wrong, they look horribly dull and flat.

The CGI in III looks great. Much better than the follow up.

I'm glad you guys think those are good.

Different opinions.

We're getting a lot more animatronics in the new film, opposed to the 1 we got in JW so that's a win/win for everyone. JW doing $1.6B worldwide allowed them to go all out it seems.

Niice!!

Wonder if

[Show spoiler]that is actually Blue when he first meets her which means flashback, or possibly an offspring??

Hoping this is a clip from the movie (too cute to not include!), the cinematography appears very video-ish and digital. It does not look like film at all. I hoped they'd at least try match the look of the past films but that doesn't seem to be the case. Still, I'll wait for the trailer to see what look they have gone with.

It could be simulated home video footage, perhaps something Pratt's character is watching to remind him of his time raising the raptors. The cinematography doesn't look like anything else Bayona has done, so it would be very strange for him to adopt a handheld look for Fallen Kingdom.

A lot of sweat and blood went into Jurassic World's effects, you know.

Yet, Bayona was chosen because he'd bring something different to the table. JW2 could have a documentary style to it, like 'Cloverfield.' I mean they are shooting digitally, so why not. Cloverfield was awesome. I don't see why a similar style can't be adopted for this movie, if the filmmakers can justify it. Sure it'd look completely different than the traditional cinematic look of the past four films. But, maybe the tone is very different in this one.

The effects of all three films took hard work. Hopefully not blood, but a lot of sweat, sleepless nights and coffee; especially for the first film when they had to re-invent the wheel for cinematic special effects in a revolutionary manner.

I'm sure a lot of sweat went into the effects of, say, The Mummy Returns and Die Another Day. It doesn't necessarily mean they're great or that nobody should post a less-than-flattering opinion on them.

Are you really comparing 'Jurassic Park' trilogy's effects with those two films, especially the shitty effects of 'The Mummy returns?' You're saying this just for the sake of it; to support your point. There's a night and day difference between JP and any other CG-centric movie series.

I think that what made the effects appear worse than they were was the blue color grading.

CGI is a funny thing.

Sometimes you don't notice it at all; like the Explorer in Jurassic Park when the Rex flips it over. It's CGI! Looks vividly real even today. Perhaps the strong emotional content of the scene (kids in mortal danger) helps you subconsciously believe in what you're seeing, although I could easily see the opposite being the case.

Other times it's clearly not 100% convincing, but such a huge amount of time, money and effort obviously went into it that I'm impressed and enthusiastic about it regardless. Yoda in Attack Of The Clones, Tarkin in Rogue One (Leia at the end looked like $hit though).

And of course other times it simply blows you away with how real it looks, even though what you're seeing is impossible. Davey Jones and his fishy misfits in Dead Man's Chest and At World's End are possibly the most staggering CGI creations I've ever seen. Watching DMC for the first time with a friend, I turned to him during Davey Jone's introduction and said "the CGI is fùcking amazing!"

Yet if they're going for that style, Bayona doesn't make sense as a director. He's never done a film in that style before. Matt Reeves or even Josh Trank make more sense if they're going for a found-footage approach, and even then, going for that style is also a bizarre move. The whole genre has basically run itself into the ground by this point, and hasn't produced a big hit in years.

I wish they would somehow make a JP movie that largely takes place at sea and underwater so they could introduce more prehistoric sea creatures.

Im down with this. Like Deep Blue Sea but with plesiosaurs and mosasaurs...

That actually sounds very interesting.

I've always had a fascination for (prehistoric) sea creatures/monsters (therefore I'm really looking forward in seeing The Meg). I really think it's time the JP franchise did something with that.
