Guys, I love dinosaurs. I really do. I've loved the Jurassic Park films. However, I hate how they all devolve into horror movies with people fighting for their lives and the blood and gore.
I want a film about a young boy who secretly hatches a triceratops egg on his family's farm and raised it up, only to have the small town's citizens and the government find them out and the family has to go on the run and find a safe place for the dino.
I want a heartwarming dino story.
Guys, there is going to be a lot of dino death on Fallen Kingdom. The trailer was difficult to watch near the end. Die by volcano or plummet into the sea and drown.
I'm excited for another film in the franchise, and I know it's all fake, computer animation and not real animals.
But it's gonna be sad y'all.

The trailer appears to be VERY spoilery, because for whatever reason movie trailers just love spoiling big scenes??
Either way, very excited. Though if Rexy dies.... :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I love dinos too. I didn't care much for Jurassic World, I thought it was far too hokey :huh:
Nothing can be better than the original film. I'm also a fan of Disney's Dinosaur, even if it tells the same old story. Maybe because the main character is an Iguanodon and it's one of my favorites.
There's a movie on Netflix that's kinda like what you described, except it's a big pig/cow creature not a dino. I forget what it's called. I've been meaning to watch it.

That's Okja, but it's also sort of vegan propganda. Good movie if you don't mind all that!
There are other good dino films out there, and I love Disney's Dinosaur too. One of my favorites is a japanese anime film called "You Are Umasou". The dinosaurs are VERY stylized, barely resembling actual dinosaurs, but it's a very sweet film.

I've been waiting for this to drop and it doesn't disappoint. The SPFX look amazing, and it's great seeing old faces again. All the feels and you'll understand if you've watched the first film...feels. Nice to see the menacing undertone is back because this isn't Disneyland boys n girls. Also, if you watch the behind the scenes short which does spoil a few things...Stan Winston's legacy lives on. That right there had me in tears,keeping it classy JP.
Also, that film you'd love to see is basically the plot of the book The Enormous Egg by Oliver Butterworth. One of my childhood favorite books featuring my favorite dinosaur.

I LOVED the trailer. Had to close my eyes a bit as it spoiled but the setting and lightning and mood took me right back to the original film and made me so fuzzy! I also love that they used animatronix and don't rely totally on cgi. Makes it so much more believable.

We enjoyed the trailer, definitely looking forward to the movie.

One of my favorite childhood books too. :biggrin:
I wish someone would make that movie. Or maybe I don't... they'd probably end up replacing the Triceratops with a T. rex or a Velociraptor. Which would then eat everyone. Except the boy, because he's the one who needs to be rescued by the action hero movie star.
Sigh. On a side note, Jurassic World was the first film in the franchise I didn't see in theaters. I'll probably wait for this one to hit HBO too. The first two were great, the third was silly, and they lost me entirely with the fourth 'we ran out of bigger carnivores so we'll just make one up!' gimmick.

I am excited to see this! :)

Come on who wouldn't want a baby of either of those...problem is they grow fast and aren't house friendly. :P And that makes me think of Grimlock in the latest Transformers movie. Love it or hate that one it's still a funny scene. Especially if you've ever owned pets.
