You're missing the point entirely. It's a great movie because it had subtext. That subtext could have been about anything. The reason why the sequels can't compare is because they lack anything beyond the surface. That's why they feel shallow and forgettable. This is stuff your brain picks up subconsciously, so the fact you aren't even aware of it kinda proves the point.

No, I'm not.

Jurassic Park was huge because it was revolutionary special effects wise. The story was mostly irrelevant and just had to not suck. It's not some great lesson in storytelling.

Even if it was, the dangers of man playing god and the idea that "life finds a way" (even though that's complete bullshit) would still be 100x more relevant than that reluctant father bullshit

Ive never once watched JP and thought "Wow what a great sub story about fatherhood". It was a fun movie about dinosaurs fucking shit up.

Oh and if you put your hand up dinosaurs dont attack.

Yup. The original JP is a master class in filmmaking. From story, to character development, to cinematography, music, casting, dialogue, you name it.

This shit was boring. Luckily I was at the drive in under the stars and the highlight of the night was seeing this wild green fire meteor/shooting star irl in the sky. Oh, and the pizza was dry as hell so the owner made us a new one and it was great.

i saw a youtube video tonight, some dude was in Virginia and he ordered a slice of pizza at a place called Giuseppe's, they gave him an american cheese topped slice. not what he asked for. no idea how that shit happens unless you asked for it specifically. thats why i asked, i was wondering if thats what people in other parts of the country call pizza. i know Dominoe's is a big thing in the US and anyone who knows what pizza is wouldnt eat it, unless its 2am and they are drunk.

Saw this last night and it was fine. Way better than the JW2. But still entirely too long and they just made this so over the top ridiculous. Wont ever watch it again but was better than a lot of other movies I’ve paid to see lately.

saw this over the last 2 nights as well at home and same thoughts. Lets make a Godzilla movie but mostly feature humans. Lets make a Jurassic Park movie and make it about bugs. How do these same people keep working!?

I just looked and its super fucked up, Top Gun Maverick has made $1.2b while JP Dominion has made $900m worldwide. Only a $300m difference but I'd say Top Gun is like 50x better than this dumpster fire. In a fair world TGM would be cracking $2b while JP3 would be topping out at $200m but its not a fair world and people keep shelling out tons of money in theaterrs to see these trash movies.

I did learn Sam Neill owns a winery in new zealand lol

lol, making "pizzas" as a kid always involved the nastiest shit. Although I used to like those Stouffers frozen french bread pizzas as a kid and I would try to replicate that

normally i don't harp on food/ingredients and substitution, having been displaced for a number a years from an asian grocer, i can understand it. like you can't make real gumbo w/o okra, forget about tom yum w/o galangal...

but fucking moz? i made fresh moz, all you need is milk/citric acid and renet, it's not like you need specialty bacteria from tuscany or some other guido shit, it's fucking moz

Well not that it matters much but top gun didnt get the Chinese market so that a big chunk right there and Maverick doesn't feel like a film everyone wants to take their kid to
