Every time we do this, the universe feels a little smaller. I feel like Star Wars would vastly benefit from cutting ties and just going somewhere new, telling a new story with new people. It doesn’t have to be a new time! Show a frontier planet with some jumped up Imperial with a small fleet setting up as a warlord aft…

She is a treasure and I am glad she gets to do things of her choosing.

Give the 2016 team another shot you cowards.

... I’m sorry, these aliens killed Keith David?

“Starshine.”

Miller’s representatives couldn’t be reached because they are currently hiding at the bottom of a jug of whiskey.

I still think the movie has some major twist to it.  So I think you are okay

I guess the ostensibly poor, $197 million worldwide box-office was considered good enough, taking into account the pandemic presumably limited attendance; 2021 feels so long ago. No idea what the budget was for Afterlife, but it seemed to have a big marketing campaign with it (least it had here)

A fun enough trailer, but way more information than I wanted (and that’s on me).

Sure, here’s the answer:

I really hope that Top Gun Maverick eviscerates this film in a manner similar as Maverick taking out those enemy planes.

Oh you just know this whole goddamn thing will restart in a few years, when some new Sundance discovery will be tapped to direct the bigger, grittier remake of the first Jurassic Park.

The most impressive thing, to me, is somehow making special effects that look worse than the original movie.  You gotta work hard for shit to look that lousy these days.

By the way, and I know the following is petty and on a level I usually don’t stoop to with films, but I really hope that Top Gun Maverick eviscerates this film in a manner similar as Maverick taking out those enemy planes.

By the way, for anyone who might know, why are they hiding now that everyone knows that Maisie Lockwood is a clone? I mean it’s not illegal and I don’t really know what the threat to her would be? Actually, wouldn’t she be a billionaire as the sole inheritor of that estate?

For some reason, it was during the trailer for this movie that this frustration hit me with the basic premise. Not the dinosaurs roaming around, but the concept that they would be an existential threat to humanity that could just not be figured out. Like if there is one thing that humanity is really good at, it is…

OMG just the 2 paragraph plot summary with a recap of the earlier films made me tired. What a mess.

velociraptors that can be directed by a laser pointer

“Rumor has it that Spielberg once wanted a Jurassic film to build to scenes involving dinosaurs strapped with rockets, running into battle”

god damn it’s rare you see io9 and av club united in opinion but boy-o this sounds as awful as everyone thought it was.
