I’m sorry, new one? You mean from like 2019 right?

Right‽

Did you actually see the 2025 movie? No way the theme you got from that is US Corpo good. If anything g it's literally the opposite.

I didn't see anything else than 2025. Pretty bad.

I do agree with the main point of your post; however, I feel that your reasoning is backwards.

Big blockbusters give the masses a dose of placebo. You see a movie where people who hold your values win, so you feel like it happened in real life, so you're less likely to make it happen in real life.

So I'm not spoiling this movie, look at the MCU instead: They defeated Thanos and stopped half the world's population from disappearing, and then we failed to properly fight COVID and Donald Trump gained power.

Now, I know correlation doesn't equal causation, and that there were other factors at play, but I also know that when you perceive the image of something, it activates the same neurons as actually seeing that thing - when you watch The Notebook or Armageddon, you feel the emotions of the characters in the film, and you cry.

That, combined with the other psychological tactics that we are constantly being bombarded with, make it difficult for us to navigate the world with a clear head. When you feel like you're winning, why would you fight?

And also, a TON of people are straight apathetic, and a lot more are just plain-old stupid. And there are dozens or hundreds of other factors such as personality of the audience, socioeconomics, religious beliefs, etc... that come into play here as well. It's not quite as cut-and-dry as "monkey see, monkey feels as though it has done," but that does play a large factor in it.

I typed all this but didn't proofread any of it, so I hope it makes sense. I'm sleepy.

The 7th was explicitly anti corporation lol

Eh, the first Jurassic World was a bump up compared to The Lost World and JP3, but yeah, the general trend is accurate.

I thought this was better than Jurassic World 2. I didn't see the 3rd.

Both this and Five Nights at Freddy’s have an interesting problem, where they’re based around an entertainment franchise that goes wrong - but the franchise itself necessitates repeated attempts and failure.

I remember trying to like the lost world but I just can’t. Only the first is worth watching.

I was just saying the other day if the first one had been faithful to the ending of the book we wouldn't have all this mess.

Imagine?

it's just a gay porno with a dude in one of those memable T-Rex costumes

The books, Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World, are very good and very different from the movies. I also recommend Disclosure by the same author.

Lost World had some fun stuff (Despite diverging from it's book even worse than the first movie) but you're really not missing much, none of the sequels come within a mile the original.

I saw the first one, enjoyed it...not sure I could explain the plot or what happened in it. At the time having the dinosaurs brought to life was spectacle enough; they could have made a movie about the park working correctly and it would have sold tickets.

I watched the second and third one back to back with a girl. They were alright. I don't care to see them again. I'm not watching any more of them.

Hey, corporation needed to look 'good' so it was obvious they would scrap the shitty CEO of the Book and put 'Santa Claus' in his place, right?

6/10 is a very high score considering that review.

Better than Dominion isn't hard.

Fast and Furious went to space, why not the Jurassic Park franchise too!

They can hang out with Leprechaun!

The second Jurassic World movie was that, sort of.

I think they tried to do that with the new one. The D Rex (are we still adding rex where it doesn't belong?) was clearly modelled after the xenomorph.

I wanna be clear they failed. I haven't been this disappointed in a movie since I saw TLJ for the first time

That’s not milk!

IDK, maybe this?

Money

That’s the big issue with going to the theatre. Two tickets, popcorn and a drink for my wife and I and I’m paying $50+ in Canada. I think the last movie we saw in theatres was dr strange 2 and it wasn’t worth it, before that it was avengers end game. 99% of movies just aren’t worth going to the movies for. I haven’t seen a film i would say was 100% worth it since Fury Road. Everything else im fine watching at home. Better resolution, i have a good screen and sound. And I can pause to go take a piss

The dinos are back, but of some species, every generation is smarter than the last, until they actually start speaking. Because they had a super civilisation, and their scientists encoded the key to rebuilding their civilisation in the DNA we found. The next generation becomes smart enough to invent a time machine, and try to manipulate us into going back in time to prevent the comet strike that took them out. Joke's on them - they were in fact aware of the comet strike, but as we travel back in time together, the human part of the crew sabotage their Armageddon mission and make sure the strike actually happens, to pave the way for mammal domination!

Nice try, Universal

Dinosaurs want to break out again but giant asteroid is going to destroy the earth so they team up with humans to stop it. Dinosaurs offer their asteroid know how in exchange for freedom.
