SPOILER - Well, to be fair, Owen was not the one launching rockets at the raptors… I kind of sensed a pang of regret from him at that moment that his "pack" had turned against them. That raptor had just killed and eaten a person, and it was looking at him like a loyal puppy, not realising the line that had been

I doubt he'll be apologising for that, so don't hold your breath! :P

Lol, I actually nicknamed San Andreas "2015" based on the first trailer I ever saw… just like Into the Storm was "The Day After Twister"…

But they WEREN'T 'wild animals acting on instinct'… they were bred in labs, and imprinted on the humans who raised them, and Owen has clearly spent a while training them to respond to the clicker… they were basically super-intelligent, super-dangerous pet dogs…

Did anyone else notice the inconsistency regarding the number of dinosaur species? On the ferry heading to the island, Gray clearly says that they have 14 species of herbivore and 6 species of carnivore. The kid seems to know this random crap so I'm inclined to take his word for it. I'll guess that the Indominus

I firmly believe that Lex and Tim are the penultimate "obligatory kids" in any blockbuster… they reacted to things accordingly and even managed to help out from time to time, plus I got a sense of believable interaction between them… they were at least the best kids ever in the JP franchise!

Agreed… the first time I saw JW I was a bit disappointed (to say the least) but thought it could have been salvaged with some firmer direction. It was definitely improved when I saw it a second time (most likely because I was ready for the terrible parts this time)… Transformers (I'll assume you mean the 4th one, but

pretty sure starving people would eat basically anything… (even each other if the opportunity presented itself)

Sorry, had a rather hectic weekend, but still managed to see it again… I will say it improved on a second viewing… what were your thoughts?

"What is your favourite velociraptor?"
"Blue. No, wait it's Char-AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Well everyone else in the cinema gasped when the raptor was there, then burst into laughter after it spoke and he woke up… so interpret that how you will…

This is essentially how I felt, except I was pretty much okay with the raptors (not everything, but mostly)… the aviary scene was where it suddenly went weird to me… I think they started to pull it back with the raptor hunt, but once they got back to the lab things fell apart again, and then it was just suddenly

I… actually got extremely angry at this scene. Like ridiculously angry. It wasn't that I liked her character or anything, and I'd never heard of the actress before, I just thought it was undeserved, and could have been removed from the plot altogether (along with the rest of her role if we're being honest). It all

Here's hoping! Like you, I've waited 14 years for this, trawled through the online forums for the barest hint of movement, exclaimed in triumph every time I saw the 'pre-production' tag on IMDB, only to be devastated once it dwindled away again. I even got bored and wrote my own script at one point (it was a sequel to

In before "hurrrrr, but dinosaurs aren't reptiles, durrrrrrrrr!"

I wasn't bored, if anything the pacing seemed too fast, which is probably why it failed to engage me completely. I have the odd feeling that they could make another full movie out of the edited scenes alone, so I'm really hoping there's an extended cut where it runs more smoothly. That being said, I'm already locked

She went for the raptor because it was moving… if the humans were running out via the missing wall, T-rex would've been dining on something different! The raptors probably would have chased the survivors rather than attack the Rex…

I'm actually thinking it's so Speilberg can step back into the director's role for JP5… Jurassic World was a bit silly, but it might have been salvageable with more experienced direction. It's a director's job to direct the actors (it's in the name!), so when you see obviously bad acting it's probably at least half

I don't want to spoil anything, but I have to say that after some time to think it over: there was absolutely NO POINT to the aviary in JW other than to get some shots of the I-rex roaring, an explosion, and some poorly executed scenes of extras running and screaming while fending off pteranodons (which may or may not

There was quite a lot of blood and some gore, but it was inconsistent… sometimes they seemed to shy away from being too graphic, although the scene probably warranted it. They cut away from the kill scenes a couple of times to show a blood spatter or whatever, but mostly I'd say it was a decent balance. Here in
