 Hey guys, I'm Ryan, I'm Scott and we just checked out Jurassic World, The Fallen Kingdom, the sequel to Jurassic World but also the fifth in the franchise. We're going to tell you all about it right after this. So Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom takes place three years after Jurassic World where the park has been decimated and the dinosaurs are left to roam free and hang out in the park and a new mysterious entity comes into the franchise and recruits Claire from the first or the last film played by Bryce Dallas Howard to go back to the island to try and save some of the dinosaurs and that sets off a big chain of events and a big adventure film. So Ryan, what'd you think? It was good and also okay. Yeah, it was... I must admit I'm a huge fan of this franchise and this this was okay like it wasn't it definitely didn't have any obviously it wasn't as good as the first film and it probably wasn't as good as Jurassic World. That's fair enough. Yeah but I mean it was still quite enjoyable, had new things to the franchise we hadn't seen before and I thought it bore back some of those kind of scary most tense parts from the first film. Yeah I agree. That's kind of been missing for those last three films. Hundred percent. And you're a big dinosaur geek you would like we watched this movie at the start I'm like oh look at that cool dinosaur and he's like well that's a well blah blah blah. I'm like what? That's exactly what it was like. You became sliced alone for it. Yeah, yeah. There's a bunch of new species in this film stuff we haven't seen before and I liked I really liked them going back and seeing like a destroyed theme park. Yeah I really loved that about the last Jurassic World seeing the theme park there but to see it all destroyed again yeah it's kind of really neat. It's also like a little bit lost world-ish like we've already kind of seen most of this movie already. Yeah and the film is very much split into two kind of real kind of key sections really and the very the first half of the film is very much like the lost world which is not a bad thing. I must say the opening sequence. Amazing. Probably one of the best one of the best opening sequences of all the films I would say. Yeah fantastic but yeah the first part first half of the film really kind of follows the mold of the lost world and the second half completely does something new and unexpected and I don't know if everyone's going to like it. I think it's going to be touching on the threads of the last Jedi. You're going to have a group of people that love it and then a group of people that hate it and it is a vast difference compared to the start of the film. The start of the film I felt like was very Spielbergian. I'm just making up that word and it felt very Jurassic Park-y. It had a lot of elements of it and I was actually fully into it. I was like this is really cool. It's a different Jurassic world almost. It felt very lost world-ish but it was different in a way of it wasn't Jurassic World and had a lot of tones and similarities the way Spielberg would shoot things. A lot of light elements. A lot of shadowy elements which I really loved and enjoyed. The horror element the director brought to this. I can't remember his name. J.A. Bayona? Yeah I was going to say B.A. Jayona. So I'm glad you went there. But he's the director of The Orphanage which I also loved. If you haven't checked out that horror film I highly recommend. But I would say the second half of the film really kind of goes into his territory versus being very Spielbergian. Yeah I agree. So that's where he kind of you know you've seen those horror elements. There's really gothic elements which is obviously very different than everything we've seen in the franchise so far. Yeah and for me personally it felt like a video game. It was something that actually really really want to play. There's a lot of Jurassic Park games that have come out and most of them have been very theme park-esque. Yes. Why the hell hasn't there been a Jurassic Park game that is based on Jurassic Park and you can run around Jurassic Park and blow up dinosaurs and shit. Give me that video game I want to play the hell out of. It's like Dino Crisis but like now like give me the HD version of Dino Crisis. Are you listening Universal Publishing? Give the man what he wants. I want that video game let me play it. Like imagine if it finishes you're riding the T-Rex out of the friggin Jurassic World. I'm just saying that shit would be amazing and I would play the crap out of that. Anyway boys can drink. But overall look I think the movie is okay. Yeah I think you'll have a good time with it. Like to me Jurassic World really hit a lot of the nostalgia and obviously they played the music and the park was there and T-Rex came back and this one kind of Jettison's a lot of that which is good. Like in this kind of in the same way the last Jedi kind of let the past die literally if you've seen the trailers there's a big volcano going on there. There is a lot of fire and brimstone on that point of view and then they really try and take it into a new direction. I don't know if it's going to be for everyone. Obviously you know sets up first sequel I imagine. I think the good thing is they have to take it in a different direction. Like we've seen the park three times now. They can only do the island so much. Yeah like let's move on from that and we did get a you know a taste of something different in the lost world. Correct. And this is definitely venturing in a different different territory which I think is kind of exciting but the last two acts of this film just for me it just felt very like one location and I would have liked to have seen a bit more. I would have liked to have seen the last scene of this movie to be the last act of the movie but you know there's a sequel there for sure. Yeah definitely I think it opens up to a very interesting scenario and it's probably a natural evolution for the series so we'll see how that all plays out. Yeah acting wise what do you think? I mean Chris Bratt is Chris Bratt. Chris Bratt is Chris Bratt. Yeah Brastile sounds okay. She's Brastile's Helen and what has she been in that sets her apart except for maybe the village. Yeah yeah other than that it's kind of. There's a lot of screaming. Yeah a lot of screaming. A lot of kids are back. Kids are back. What is with this franchise a must have a kid element to it. Like no matter what there's a kid. I think it's something to do with the fact that dinosaurs are such a like. Sure a child thing. Yeah such a thing that you're into as kids and so I think that element always has to come into play. Did Jurassic Park 3 have a kid? Yeah the whole point was to go back to the island to save their kid. Oh that's right of course yeah yeah. They collected T-Rex kids. How could you forget that movie is very forgettable. Yeah this one's not so forgettable. I think it's more enjoyable than Jurassic Park 3. Yeah it does enough unique things but they won't be forever on it. Yeah I think it sits in the path of the lost world. It'll fall with that movie which is probably not a bad place but it's not a great place. No practical effects there's good practical effects in this film which there was missing big time from the Jurassic World. Yeah so we had to. Some triceratops stuff I mean it was half of me to pick to be honest to pick it out I would have said guys triceratops was practical. Yeah it's probably worse. I'm pretty sure there's some blue practical velociraptors and stuff but that was a big thing that I kind of really missed in Jurassic World so I'm kind of glad they brought some of that stuff back. Definitely. Gikino score not too bad a lot of Jurassic World themes kind of coming back. There's also some different themes in there which I thought was kind of exciting too because I wasn't always in that it just like it did hit the bum bum bum bum you know but it wasn't always I know that's what I want. So that stuff was kind of very underplayed in this film which I get like they did that in the last one they've kind of moved on they're doing their own Jurassic World stuff now so I get it. So yeah so overall what do you think? Yeah it's kind of it's okay. It's okay. Definitely worth checking out I think I think it'll make good coin. If you're going to see it definitely see it at the movies I think I think that's the place to see it. It's probably worth your money. There's not much out at the moment that you probably haven't seen. You've probably seen Deadpool. You've probably seen Avengers at this point. This is the next big summer blockbuster to check out the cinema. It's worth your money. I reckon go check it out. Yeah, definitely check it out. Just be open-minded, I guess, towards the second act. And you'll probably have a good time. Yeah, and we'll probably see in the comments section that you didn't like it anyway. But anyway, I'm Ryan. I'm Scott. And until next time, we'll see you nerds at the movies.
