The movie thread

[Lurch the stalker]

Watched Jurassic World yesterday, and I must say I was pretty darn impressed with it.

Jurassic World, IMAX 3D!!

 

Pretty much the best movie I've seen this year, and I've seen quite a few and

almost all were in IMAX and 3D so I doubt its the theater that made the difference.

Superb action

I want a 'raptor

I want a Raptor too. Blue was my favorite out of the four.

Mad max..Jurrasic World etc ..all Special effects heavy...listened to an interesting article the other day as to why TV is becoming more and more popular..and one of the reasons is that people are craving pure storyline without the distraction of effects. Of course, there is still a market for it else hollywood wouldn't still be pumping it out...but the premise is more and more people are getting less and less impressed with it and there is a evident trend towards the silver screen gaining in popularity when compared with hollywood...net result  - they pumping these familar special effects driven movies out like a cheescake factory in a desperate attempt to try regain some glory thats waning

agreed. Just taking Sense8, for example - That's one MF huuuge rabbit hole they're taking us down. No ways that that sort of quality could be condensed into a 90 minute big screen jobbie.

Good point. Really enjoyed Jurassic World. But take away the big budget and special effects and it really is just a monster B-movie.

 

22 years ago Jurassic Park was the movie that made me fell in love with cinema. Computer generated dinosaurs, dolby digital sound, was so awesome my parents had to take me to see it twice. So maybe nostalgia clouded my judgement but I thought J World was a fun movie.

dont get me wrong..we will watch it...the jurrasic franchise is an institution like Indiana Jones, Back to the future and Star Wars....but its true  much rather prefer a good solid drama

 

For me the movie that made me love movies was the mission...great acting, visuals and soundtrack

Woah, I wouldn't give it that much credit. It was one good movie followed by multiple crap sequels. I wouldn't even put it close to the same league as those movies.

 

Coincidently I watched the mission again a week ago. Definitely a classic.

I thought Max was the better movie but if you can see the Raptors on IMAX I would opt for that..

Never heard of that movie, but, the look on the face on the cover there looks like it could use a good slap.
