I saw Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom for the first time last night and really I only wanna say three things.
1) Some of the camera work in it was gorgeous. There are some really nice long shots, especially the one in the bubble car thingy as it’s sinking. The genuine sense of claustrophobia was awesome.
2) They did a much better job of not showing the monster this time. The build up to the Indo-raptor was great. Like little flashes here and there of part of it’s body until you actually saw the whole thing paid off in my opinion. When you actually saw it, it was freaky looking. Also, that scene with the bedroom was specifically designed to give little kids nightmares. When I was a kid I was terrified of dinosaurs coming into my room to eat me b/c of that scene with the T-Rex in JP2 so the scene in Fallen Kingdom was like 10,000x worse. I would’ve never slept again as a child.
3) There damn well better be human/dino crossbreeds in the next film. I don’t remember how many years ago it was, but Universal did a human/dino crossbreed theme for one of it’s horror nights and the idea has been in the back of my mind ever since. The set-up for it is right there. Come on, Universal, give me freaky ass dino-people!!
