I see a lot of homage to first movie, Claire going "RRuuun", the flare, the feeding of mosasaur like the raptor feeding in JP1. Seems like they really trying to evoke a sense of nostalgia.

pretty good movie...not a thinking movie like the first one. I remember the themes of man playing God in the first movie were very well highlighted through the dialogue. This movie, not much memorable dialogue etc.

the moments in the beginning when the I-rex first got out were the best for me, the suspense of it sniffing around the truck and hiding in the bushes etc. The kids to be honest were not as whiny as a lot of the reviews suggest. The girl from TLW would be worse imo.

unfortunately one gripe i would have is the CGI dinosaurs still don't match the CGI of the first movie. Even when they decide to use animatronics here (the dying apatosaur), it's of inferior quality to the animatronics used in the first film.

entertaining if predictable movie, but definitely better than 2 and 3 for me. Bonus points of Trex breaking through Spinosaurus skeleton as a giant FU to the 3rd movie

While I always look forward to spinning the bluray of TLW - it'll always be the most uneven entry in the JP series - mixing some great gems:
- interesting mix of actors interacting off each other
- john Williams score goes in new direction (tribalish percussion)
- beautiful cinematography
- trailer attack
- camp attack
- gymnastics
- interracial genealogical mystery (as in ian's daughter)

with the clunkers:
- brining a baby trex into the trailer
- the ending in san diego
- various things other ppl complained about which I don't really notice - hence my short list of clunkers

to this day there is debate (on imdb) as to what actually happened on the ship during it's transit to san diego - this one had me stumped as well - something was cut here?

It was supposed to be raptors escaped the island but it got cut out. I headcanon by imagining the baby Trex went apeshit.

Actually, after writing this, I notice that I have not factored in the flight, boat and hotel charges, meaning the ticket price would probably be in the USD 7-8K at least. Not the VIP tickets that allows you to cut Q...

I remember in the first movie Donald Gennaro the lawyer telling Hammond we can charge ppl thousands to enter.
