Jurassic World 2 to be directed by J.A. Bayona

[sdp]

Terrible title and poster. The poster rehashes the Lost World's' broken logo and has the ugly all silver JW one. The title just doesn't fit JP, I think a JW 2 was a better title. And the tagline is only a quote from the first movie. Meh.

They waited that long for such a crappy title?

[Powder]

I am ready for this movie. Need me some dinosaur action.

Eh.

This trailer just further makes me feel like the series should’ve ended after Jurassic World ... that certainly wasn’t happening after all the money JW made, but yikes. This story sounds like a stretch.

[Andrew NDB]

All of the sequels have been a stretch. Even JW. No way would anyone insure another dinosaur park after the first three movies.

Yeah, that's actually the most unrealistic part of this series; that the dinosaur safari theme park model would be tried again

[IndigoErth]

lol Was just going to comment about how these people in these films will appanetly just never figure out that these parks are a terrible idea. Half our visitors were eaten... Hey, lets try it again!

Though with the first 'World' failing in a violent way, as usual, good luck getting new visitors.

That's why I always seen that World was only a sequel to Park, making park 2 and 3 non-canon.

If we just assume that the only dinosaur incident was the first movie, then it wouldn't be that hard as it was a self contained incident. Throw enough money and everything will be silenced.

The JP2 and JP3 are canon.

I'm betting we'll have a 'War' trilogy after 'World,' probably going to be military themed. I doubt they will stay in the parks forever, because the audience would get bored of it. The military plot seems to be slowly showing signs of setting up, it's not big now in this trilogy but you already have people talking about selling embryos and seeing if the raptors could be trained.

[TigerClaw]

Here's the official synopsis that reveals more about the plot, and its not just about the rescue operation.
https://www.comicbookmovie.com/sci-f...piracy-a156168

It’s been four years since theme park and luxury resort Jurassic World was destroyed by dinosaurs out of containment. Isla Nublar now sits abandoned by humans while the surviving dinosaurs fend for themselves in the jungles.

When the island’s dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event. Owen is driven to find Blue, his lead raptor who’s still missing in the wild, and Claire has grown a respect for these creatures she now makes her mission. Arriving on the unstable island as lava begins raining down, their expedition uncovers a conspiracy that could return our entire planet to a perilous order not seen since prehistoric times.

With all of the wonder, adventure and thrills synonymous with one of the most popular and successful series in cinema history, this all-new motion-picture event sees the return of favorite characters and dinosaurs—along with new breeds more awe-inspiring and terrifying than ever before. Welcome to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

It was good, but I just wish that the film had better story.

Spoiler:

I did like how this movie set up the plot for the next film. People are now living in a world where dinosaurs are roaming free, especially in the United States. Next time we will see if man or dinosaur really is the dominant species.

Yeah, all 30 of them. Wow, so suspenseful. I bet they'll totally win against the Army, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, and tactical missiles.

There's not even that many really dangerous ones, is there? There's just the one old, beat-up T-rex somewhere and the one velociraptor... who's mostly tame.

The "Indoraptor"? Government shadow agencies bidding small amounts of money for dinosaurs for... war? A cloned girl inserted to make us see that "we're the same as the dinosaurs"? I don't get the hybrid stuff, and it's two movies in a row now... and the last three now have been trying to "out T-rex the T-rex"... stop that. Best moment was the brontosaurus on the dock as they left. The rest is kind of a sub-end-of-"Lost World" affair. I don't think any movies after this will be even this compelling... I guess, they're just supposed to go around and try and collect them now, Pokemon-style? That doesn't seem very interesting.

All of those things that you mention whether you like it or not are very Chrichton-esque. This movie would've definitely gotten his blessing more than any of the previous sequels. A few of those things are hinted at in the two books.

They told us this would be the last movie with a hybrid. I don't think it feels like The Lost World, I would've liked it if Fallen Kingdom was more like TLW and it took place mostly on the island. Catching dinosaurs Pokemon style won't happen but it would be awesome.

It's a lot like Westworld (which makes sense... Westworld was Crichton's Jurassic Park warmup)... the whole thing is the robot revolt. Jurassic Park, the longer you can have the park believably and functionally open, the more mileage you can get. "Jurassic World" presented another chance, but they just repeated the exact same story as the first movie except inserting a lame FAKE dinosaur. The longer you spend building that up and living in that (whether it's the park in the JP movies or Westworld in Westworld), the more you can get out of that.

Better writing, the last Jurassic World could have had crazy stuff confined to an isolated incident paid off by rich investors... leaving future movies to continue delving into that pot. But it left things in exactly the same place as the end of the first movie. To be fair, I'm not sure what else this new movie could have done.

I get why they destroyed the park again in JW, it's what audiences expect, and they needed a big umph, after all they didn't know JW was going to do so well. Of course those ideas would've been great, I also would've loved a movie that had to deal with the clean up of Isla Nublar, or the transporting of dinosaurs from Sorna to Nublar. Isolated instances while the park is running would've been cool as well. Again, FK would've been cool for me if it had all just taken place in the Island and the volcano being the final act and finally fixing the mistakes of TLW.

I didn't get what they were going with tonally with the ending. Is it... "Yay! T-Rex and velociraptor are gonna eat people in cities now!"? Because that's pretty sadistic. Is it... "The dinosaurs win! They're reclaiming their empire!" Because they won't. Or what? It doesn't make any sense and I wasn't sure what the movie wanted me to feel. There wasn't THAT many dinosaurs released... there was like 30, tops, in that room. Surely a week with the National Guard and Army combing the area would clean up (i.e., completely murder) all dinos roaming around.

The post credits scene is very short and should've been included in the final montage where it fit better instead of randomly separating it. Nothing cool really:

Spoiler:

pteradons flying in Las Vegas, that's it.

I think that would be awesome, actually. They could make a thriller of a dinosaur in a small town (this happened in the novel but is just a short scene)

But it's not just 30 dinosaurs, there were a lot more, but remember they also sold the dinosaurs in the auction, now other companies can clone dinosaurs. Since the first movie Trevorrow told us where the trilogy was heading with really blatant "hints". That the title "Jurassic World" had another meaning than just the name of the park. So yeah by JW3 which will likely take place 3 years i the future (every JP film takes place 3 years after the previous except JW which is 10) So the whole world will be populated by dinosaurs, hence JW. I'm not a fan but whatever.

I'm not a fan of where the series is going frankly, I like JW2 but the ending gives a set up for a JW3 I'm not a fan of.

As far as the secret ending, ugh. They don't belong in the Jurassic franchise, it wasn't even good, it should've been included with the final montage.

Not that we saw. When the smoke was pouring in, we saw all the dinos converging in the big room in front of the gate... and it was 30, tops. Probably less.

but remember they also sold the dinosaurs in the auction,

None of the buyers could have possibly collected. They had to rush out of the room when the indoraptor attack happened, remember?

now other companies can clone dinosaurs.

Which wouldn't have anything to do with the dinos released.

[sdp]

I mean those are points are true, but it doesn't matter it's basically as good as confirmed and they'll just explain it in their viral marketing website for the next movie how 30 dinos became 1000s. Jurassic Park 6 WILL be humans living with dinosaurs. They've been setting it up for many movies now, JP///'s ending with the pteradons flying off, the JP Novels by Chrichton not only hint this but starts the book with a dinosaur in South America. JW interviews hinted at it and now JW:FK finally did it.

"There is no going back"

I'm not a fan of it, I hate it. I hope I'm wrong and we do get them hunting 30 dinosaurs int he next movie but they've basically confirmed that was the end of the trilogy. At least they confirmed Jurassic War was not happening (which weaponized dinos are also set up in both JW movies)

[NinjaPug]

I'm just upset they didn't address the biggest cliffhanger from JW1:

DID THE PARENTS GET DIVORCED?

[Andrew NDB]

I wish they'd bring the kids back as adults. How much more invested would we have been in the central villain of this movie if he was a mid-30s version of the boy from the first couple of movies, now a jaded corporate suit?
