Re: Jurassic World
They were never dinosaurs.
They were hybrids from the beginning, and as our knowledge of dinosaurs grows, the once-cutting-edge dinosaurs of Jurassic Park are pretty much fantasy. Even back then we knew that dinosaurs were probably brightly colored, but Spielberg thought the technicolor dinos wouldn't be scary, so he kept grey and green.
By now we know a lot of dinos had feathers, and there's a solid case that even large, adult dinos would keep some form of feathers for display and mating purposes. I would love to see the latest knowledge we have applied to dinos, but within the logic of Jurassic Park, these un-feathered creatures work just fine. And as Wu stated, the Indominus Rex is just the logical next step.

Re: Jurassic World
I thought it was interesting that Wu stated that due to ALL the dinos being hybrids (due to at the very least having frog DNA) that most likely none of them look like what they originally would have in nature. I wonder if that line was supposed to throw a bone to the "dinosaurs should have feathers" crowd.

That's the way I saw it.
'Cause dinos should have feathers. And colors.

Re: Jurassic World
But they still referred to them and us as "Tyrannosaurus rex, Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops etc". It was the movies way to bring actual dinosaurs to life. JW is bring a in a creature and calling it a dinosaur

Since half the world has already seen this movie I went ahead and added "spoilers" to the thread title.
I really liked how they did Claire and the flare. Obviously her running with it is a visual cue from the first film but they also established earlier in the movie that they drop flares to signal the T-Rex that a live goat is ready for eating. So apparently its had 20 years to realize "follow the flare to food." I could see it being slightly unsure of its environment when it first stepped out of the paddock and that being reason enough why it didn't eat her immediately. Or maybe she was just thinking, "hey, this seems familiar, maybe she's going to lead me to a tasty meal sitting on a toilet."

Re: Jurassic World
I guess that's what I'm looking for, rationalisations that can work to explain something that otherwise might seem forced and silly crowd-pleasing stuff to an original film purist. As a T2 and Aliens fan I know all about this.
I feel she really compares more to Uncle Bob then. Rex busting up the Spinosaurus skeleton = Uncle Bob demolishing the police force with a mini-gun and grenade launcher. Or going back further Uncle Bob, being non lethal but nevertheless bad-a$$ in the biker bar.

Not Uncle Bob, she was 22 years older, so I guess she was...Pops.
But that's how you do a freaking Pops. Charging through a Spinosaurus skeleton in slow motion not "I've been waiting for you," *monkey smile*

And Rory, blame Khev for me bringing up Terminator in here! I was just taking up something I remember him saying previously. 
Re: Jurassic World
Yes maybe then. Except when Uncle Bob destroyed the T-1000 no one had to slowly back away.

After that scene finishes, one of the videos recommended is "Top 10 Memorable Scenes in Bad Movies".
What did you think of Blue running in slow-mo and leaping on the I-Rex, a-dev?
This immediately came to mind:

This movie actually did have some pretty good lines in it.
"Okay everyone, we're keeping this contained and we'll resolve this ourselves. Nobody else needs to get--"
"Eaten?"

Re: Jurassic World
The whole Raptor attack on the Security team was SO Aliens.
It even had Claire fleeing in the APC with underage cargo as a creature jumped on her vehicle and broke the glass trying to get at her.
And tell me you guys didn't instantly think "Predator" when the kids jumped the waterfall and then climbed out of the river and laid face down in the mud.

Re: Jurassic World
I have rationalisation for that line
Importantly, if I am to not only excuse but embrace something that might seem silly in a movie - it has to be an overall good movie. I mean why try to rationalise anything in the likes of Batman & Robin? The good has to dramatically outweigh the bad for it to be worth taking said bad with said good. And when it does, usually 'life, uh, finds a way' to see that even the 'bad' isn't actually bad in the overall context.
I didn't think of that but that's a good comparison actually
