The line that actually sums up the entire series so far was when Ian Malcolm said “yeah but you were so preoccupied with the fact that you could you never stopped to think if you should”
I like how The Lost World is gaining appreciation throughout the years, i really enjoyed it. Also i read once a rumour that the third act of The Lost World (dinosaurs at the city) was an idea that Spielberg had for the third movie, but since he started to noticed he wasn't going to make a third one he threw the San Diego part at the end of The Lost World. Make sense IMO considering how disconnected it feels.
In my opinion, Jurassic Park should have never been made into a franchise. The first movie is very well contained and it comes from a very good sci-fiction book. The problem is hollywood in the last 30 years, they want to transform everything that sold well into a damn franchise! It never works when the sequels are not planned previously... there are so many examples. One that comes immediately at mind is the Matrix Trilogy. So celebrate the good first movies of a franchise and ignore the existence of the sequels, it's been working for me! Saving money and my precious time.
It was always intended to be a frenchise in the first place giving spielberg the rights to 6 movies if you are so botherd by it the next one will probably (but very unlikely) be the last one
That’s what I thought, it was different, but at least it had source material. It was decent, but nothing too special. At least it has my favorite soundtrack of all the movies in the franchise.
The dinosaurs are like communism: "Oh it's just never been tried correctly. It'll work THIS TIME." If you ask me, the original film should've ended with the island being nuked. (Spielberg could've even used the opportunity to pay tribute to Dr. Strangelove.)
Well Jurassic Park is based on a book, which had a sequel. So really it was meant to have two films. Like he said in the video, it all went wrong when the second movie threw out the original ending for “wow dinosaurs in America”. Having read both books, they’re actually pretty good, but once the source material ran out, it changes for the worse.
That was the first thing I thought as soon as I saw the title of the video. Came here to watch it, made my "hilarious" comment, hit play and 10 seconds in you show the clip. Oh well.
But... the Lost World was pretty suspenseful too, wasn't it?! I think the Lost World was a decent sequel. If the issue with the sequels is that their morals are replaced with monsters, then what this tells me that the sequels would've just shoved the same "You cant control dinosaurs, it's a bad Idea" from the 1st film, discouraging more people from loving the idea of living dinosaurs, to just simply leaving them to be a forgotten past and memory. I think returning to the dino islands was a way to let the fans know "hey, they're still alive, and there are more than you could possibly imagine" . Yeah, they could've been done better, but to leave Jurassic Park where it was would leave the fanbase on a massive cliffhanger wanting more. Many movies will NEVER reach their original classic predecessor in its "magic" because it's hard for movies to do that. Even a New Hope was thought to have originally be a standalone, till it was revealed it would be a Trilogy. Trilogy movies really can't capture the audience the same way their first movie did, cause it's almost impossible to reach that expectation.
Andrew Bloomfield Trilogy films can't capture the same magic? Have you seen Empire Strikes Back? I think I get what you're trying to say (ie the premise behind most sequels has already been explored in the original so the film runs the risk of retreading the same ideas), but I don't think sequel films are doomed simply because they are follow-up films.
I think you're harder on JP2 than necessary. Most people are unnecessarily harder on JP2 in general, let alone calling out such a specific complaint as yours. I think as a sequel goes, with the spectacle out of the way, you can get down to more interesting questions. JP1 asked "should we?" while JP2 asked "now what?" which is more interesting. But what JW2 really brought into focus was how JP2 still works hard to present the dinosaurs as real animals. The entire thing has a subtext about family, and it was the baby T. rex that motivates the adult T. rex for most of the chase. The breaking point, to me, was JP3, which devolved into movie monsters. The JW films have fallen even further in that direction, studiously avoiding any of thee potentially interesting plot threads to just have custom engineered movie monsters who only exist to terrorize actors. JW2 was the antithesis of everything Jurassic Park strove to accomplish.
I think the franchise's morals are what died. With the point that it wasn't set out to be a monster movie and the monsters were only used as a device to evoke interaction and debate between the characters.
I really liked the Lost World. To me, the Lost World has one of the most suspenseful scenes of the franchise when you see the raptors stalking the survivors in the tall grass. Plus, I loved the introduction of the hunter and he did have a huge revelation that this essay missed. The thrill of the hunt lost its luster at the end. When he successfully got his prey, he wasn’t happy or excited. He left empty. He was changed because of this experience. His last words were, something like...I’ve seen enough death. A lot of layers there.
IMO The Lost World is a fine film, and Jurassic Park III and Jurassic World aren’t bad, but Fallen Kingdom was the point where even I couldn’t defend it anymore.
actually I share the same love for the lost world as the original. It got much unneeded hate. You are right though about fallen kingdom, I can't defend that film.
(Ranked Best to Worst.) 1. Jurassic Park 2. The Lost World 3. Jurassic Park 3 4. Dog Poo 5. Dog Poo 2 (Poop's Revenge.) 6. The Room 7. Aids 8. Hitler 9. Jurassic World 10. Fallen Kingdom
Jurassic Park might be the most critically acclaimed film of the franchise, but to me, The Lost World is the most rewatchable film. I never get sick of it.
Interesting question. I think the first film will always be considered a classic on its own. But being connected in name to inferior sequels can't help.
Shrek, Land Before Time, Scream, Pirates of the Caribbean and Jaws just to name a few could all be in the same argument. Might make for a great video to break down 'Can a sequel ruin in any way the "Classic Status" of it's original.'
MrSquifler I just do not see it as the "hot girl" complex. I get your point that it looks hotter standing next to all the ugly sequels. I think for movies though when you run an idea into the ground and try to drain everything you can out of it you get a lost product. Like he pointed out in this video. In my opinion that is what makes the Dark Knight so great or The Godfather. They have a great follow up. Maybe one of the movies in the trilogy missed the mark but The Godfather was followed up by The Godfather part II which was also great. Those movies together help more than Jurassic Park does with any of its sequels.
Openingband It's like a dinner plate where your foods touch and therefore make the food that you like a little gross. You wont complain but you'll wish it hadn't.
"Monster movies are generally disregarded as a genre because they most commonly consist of monsters attacking flat boring characters." You've never seen the original Gojira, have you?
Hollywood will not listen to reason. Same reason why they keep rebooting and remaking every movie ever made. I think that independent films need to be glorified, and not constant sequels to stories that should have ended years ago.
Bravo! That's exactly what I think of the franchise. And I hate how every time they say the new one is gonna be a more classic, plot focused movie and then it's just another monster movie with some nostalgic Easter eggs and references to the first one.
Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World take most plot points from the first two books. In fact most of Fallen Kingdom is taken straight from the books. If you actually paid attention then you would know that these movies are very story driven and not just some slasher flick with dinosaurs.
Fallen kingdom despite its awful soundtrack and goofiness (the whole scene where the volcano erupts came off goofy and cartoonish) is a film that really takes the franchise forward. Selling dinosaurs as specialized weapons or attractions and the whole theme do dinosaurs have the same rights as animals. Reading the Lost World novel is the same idea Lew Dodgson had of using dinosaurs as lab guinea pigs or as weapons.
A side note, Godzilla (2014) tried to replicate the “Jaws effect” by not showing the monster that much. But that ONLY works if you have interesting characters and good actors to rely on. It didn’t so it was neither here nor there.
Completely agree. You have to care about the characters. The characters in Jaws were fantastic which is why we could just watch them on a boat comparing scars.
Its' so ironic seeing all these low quality cash grab movies when one of the core ideas in the original movie was to highlight the negative nature of corporate greed that milks everything for money no matter the consequences. The fact that Spielberg doubted his own sequel while still shooting the movie speaks volumes of the difference between grade A directors compared to the rest as well.
What is so cash grab about Fallen Kingdom exactly? If you could back up your statement then perhaps it would hold a little gravitas. In fact what we're actually dealing with here is a franchise who's now trying to move in a new and original director. Yet we'll have to deal with people complaining about it not being familiar enough with the original while also complaining that it's just a "cash grab". Those two things are contradicting.
*SPOT ON* the new one is a literal farce. I will no longer invest in this Jurassic park series. Until they do as you prescribe in your essay. Thank you
Totally agreed. The Third Act of The Lost World felt so out of place. The original ending about main characters fighting Ptera's while escaping in the helicopters sounds a lot better than in the final release.
Another youtuber made a video with basically the same questions and same arguments a while ago... I guess this is "trending". Oh well... For me, the only movie really forced was JP3. But since the first movie ended vastly different than the book, that made new movies hard to do based on the source material. That's why a reboot wasn't a terrible idea, because you could revisit the books looking for a good route that could work. And maybe the Fallen Kingdom will work as that middle man for the a great 3rd movie, who knows? Even so, getting great set ups from the book was a big plus for me.
Rodrigo Molinsky right, it’s like people wan the same things from a sequel, every sequel brings something new to the table and still carries those ideologies of tampering with nature with a cause and effect of nature’s wrath, I feel like he’s over viewing these films and not appreciating them for what they are especially with the newest film being the closest atmosphere wise to the novel and where the series is going so far based from the novels
I don't believe the franchise is dead, but I do understand your criticisms. If I would have a person ranking of all the films, it would look like this. 1. Jurassic Park (10/10) 2. The Lost World: Jurassic Park (7/10) 3. Jurassic World (6/10) 4. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (5/10) 5. Jurassic Park III (4/10)
That's not the concept of JP. Never was to begin with. Dinosaurs are animals, not monsters. They were behaving like the wild animals they were. Not trying to attack people for the sake of terror. You gotta listen to the dialogue to understand it.
This is how I personally rate this... franchise so far 1. Jurassic Park 3 2. Jurassic World 3: Jurassic Park 4: The Lost World: Jurassic Park I haven't seen Fallen Kingdom yet.
Jp3 was ok . The spinossauros saved the hole thing . Ok not bad just ok as is entertaining as in welcome to jurasic park again! "Theme song in the background"
I honestly don't think that "this character didn't deserve this death" isn't a valid complaint. It just goes to show anything can happen to anyone no matter how nice of a person they are.
I don't get why people don't like that Zara died, just cuz she's female, animals don't care what gender you are and will kill you if you are man or wamem.
Where did it go wrong? Let's see: the sequels became horror thrillers with storytelling taking a backseat and an over reliance on cgi which makes everything look less realistic. Jurassic World tried to recreate the original but with concepts like the population being bored after a few years, the pen for the Indominus Rex having only one door and militarizing dinos is just stupid all around and more unrealistic than actually having dinosaurs exist at all. Poor storytelling will make anything go extinct--like the direction of this franchise!
djryken yeah As much as I do enjoy the crazy action and horror elements of the new movies, the writing and characters are so weak and you can only make dumb fun monster movies for so long
Jurassic Park was quotable, memorable and legendary. I can quote almost the entire script and oh boy are there awesome quotes in there! Where as the sequels are SEVERELY lacking in this. They feel, for lack of better word, a hollow shell with pretty pictures... Also JP was a dino movie showing how they lived and where we stand on the foodchain out in the wild along with discussions about ethics and technology development, the sequels gradually turned them into ever increasing scarier monsters... You can replace the dino's with aliens or monsters and it's basically the same movie, you can't do that with JP... ^Ah good on ya, you actually addressed this \o/
Heck Jurassic World is almost a carbon copy of the Jurassic Park script, except with an ADD pace, jitter camera for "suspense" and lacking the engaging (rather bland) character development., not to mention dumbed down/unbelievable characters subject to plot advancement...There is no wonder and awe in Jurassic World...
Wow. I cant believe you ripped the dinosaur rampage at the end of 2. Thats hands down my favorite part. Its better than the original ending. Did you know that sometimes in india there are tiger or elephant rampages in villages. And the results are pretty gnarly. I cant imagine a trex going on a hormonal rampage through florida would be a very subtle or artistic comentary on monster movies. Jurrasic park is what it is and that is ok. They could stand to show more dinosaur sequences instead of expecting the film to be carried by the actors. P.S. do tremors next.
It's really hard to re-capture the 1st one. I remember when I watched it. I really believed that we can bring back dinosaurs no kidding. I was mesmerized and jaw dropped. One of Spielberg's greatest work and probably Stan Winston's greatest work. Even today the T-Rex in the 1st movie cannot be beaten because it is real, they built it. No VFX can top it.
SUPER SAMMICH It's possible to lose nostalgia?, the people who really love the original film will love it no matter what, but yes the casual fans who only remember it may like it less upon rewatching it.
I agree that the San Diego attack was what broke the dinosaur's back. It wasn't in the book. Why Spielberg decided to retcon the ending to resemble a weak Godzilla ripoff still boggles me up to this day.
rainer I agree! I thought it was a worthy sequel. The characters were interesting and intelligent, suspenseful, beautiful scenery. I don´t understand why everyone hates it so much.
Michael Crichtons novels were actually super scary -- scarier than Steven Kings novels. So for Spielberg to say he didn't want to make a "monster movie" is really weird.
Entertain The Elk. Yeah that’s fair. I thought the last act being the obvious weaker act was still alright, but I understand why a lot of people don’t like it
Everything about this is spot on! I felt the same way about the new Predator movie. I couldn't sit through it. What made the original great was rarely seeing it.
I agree, although it came no where close to the original. But I think what it had going for it, over the other sequels, is that it was a fresh start, and it’s sequels were done better, as they actually continued the story of Star Lord and Barbie, instead of ditching them for an almost entirely new main cast in each sequel, as JP did. In the original we became caught up in the awe and sense of wonder of the cast, and then their sense of horror and dread, but with the sequels we lost most of the very characters that were wrapped up with our emotions in the original. Yes, Malcolm was a decent character in the original, but he spent half the movie laying on a table with his shirt open, while Grant and the kids were running for their lives in the jungle, and while Ellie was trying to find a way to find make get everyone to safety. Yet Goldblum being a much bigger name, they decided to continue his story in the first sequel, but seriously, had it not been acted by Goldblum no one would have given Malcolm a second look or thought.
Season 6. I still have nightmares, that episode with the baseball player alien (written and directed by David Duchovny), or even worst... Dreamland part I and part II
@@johnwithey9788 It was groundbreaking, thrilling, well written and acted, thoughtful, and the special effects looked absolutely amazing. None of this could be said about Jurassic World, in my opinion.
Im a HUGE JP fan, I was about 8 or so when i watched it first, 25 now. I have watched making offs more often than the movies, and love them. I must say that, maybe the fact that it HAS turned in to a monster movie in JW2, which i agree to has made it unique in its own sense. JW1 was weird as i remember, too many rip offs to jp1 that you mentioned as well. But jw2 i actually liked, somewhere through watching the film i lost the adventure feeling, but it turned in to something new, a bit more dark.. but I honestly liked the last one. And so is jp2, i like jp1,2 and jw2. I fully agree on the 2 points you make, but that doesn;t make a movie 'bad' or so. I don't like the 'make it for the fans' argument shit. A movie gets bad, if it on itself has a bad character. The ideas are great indeed, but one can feel that they try to incoorporate far too much nostalgia and stuff unrelated to a solid story. I guess that is the business these days.. Welcome ... to holly-wood.
I love the first movie. The second I massively liked, but it deviated too much from the novel in the end (and it is the parts that are accurate to the book that are the best parts of JP2). And then JP3 came along, and broke the filmmaking rule Spielberg set out in the first 2 movies: Let Dinosaurs behave like animals. Dangerous animals, but animals nonetheless. And do not make them monsters. Even with a rampaging T-Rex in San Diego in JP2, Spielberg had at least added a scene that explained that the T-Rex was heavily drugged with sedatives and stimulants. In JP3 and beyond, the Dino's started behaving "just because they are monsters". I had hopes for JW1 and JW2, but they kept the monster trend.
The franchise died (for me at least) when they decided to make Lost World and the third one non-canon and made a reboot out of nowhere. Also making the asian scientist the true bad guy behind all the crazy super enhanced evil dinosaurs? Why?
rusty Not anymore. You see, Jurassic World happens around 20 years after the first movie. In that time, there was never a second attemp to make the park again (like in The Lost World) or a second island (JP3). Or at least Hammond couldn't afford another disaster. I can't believe what I'm saying but in that case the reboot DOES makes sense. No one would want to go to a second park after what happened to the first one.
Brilliant review. This is quality writing and a great representation of clips to make the point. As a fan of the franchise I applaud your review and hope someone with that same insight and understanding will be the one that writes the next movie. It's time someone understands that Jurassic Park and the excitement that makes live shows like "Walking With Dinosaurs" and museum visits which spark the imagination, the wonder and awe of these creatures for children, adults and those that see their small part on this earth was magical.
I see where you’re coming from. But I love the Lost World in my opinion it’s the only worthy sequel. I don’t understand the hate it gets. Many memorable scenes and performances. I love Malcolm’s character arc. Compared to the other sequels The Lost World is a masterpiece. It’s a completely different story from the first, it’s much darker. And as for the last scene I think it was a fun what if scenario. The T Rex never felt like a monster to me but a badass dinosaur hunting not constrained by modern rules. I think the first two films are great companion pieces. Now, from the third movie on the films have been quite bad. Great video though, I appreciate the time and effort you’ve put in to it.
Haven seen all of the movies including the 2nd Jurassic World, I think that Jurassic World 2 did a lot to recover lost ground. It presented ethical questions and much more terror than anything since Lost World.
They did try and make it scary in the house. I think that could've been the entire movie in a sense. Like Alien. That would've been like a haunted house of dinosaurs. That would've felt different at least.
Actually, The Lost World and Jurassic Park 3, were on Isla Sorna, Site B, and Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, and Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom were on Isla Nublar.
Jurassic Park... the first movie I’ve ever watched, turned into something that didn’t want to entertain, but to just make money #GiveJurassicParkBackToSpeilberg
+Entertain The Elk I have to disagree with you on your statement. Though The Lost World didn't share the dynamic of first Jurassic Park, the film did have its succession. And it certainly didn't start "The Day Jurassic Park Died" because as I know from all fans they just hate some Lost World because it didn't fit their pov(s) and entertainment, but you look at TLW it is all the more satire in the characters' survival on the island which is often put into danger by the rippling "Butterfly Effect" which Malcolm greatly details in both the 1st JP and the novels. It plays an amazing part into TLW's development. Also many of the dinosaurs on Isla Sorna for TLW were acting on their instinct, acting like real animals, out in the wild, fitting into their niches where their counterparts had left off, not representing movie monsters. In order to incorporate the science to TLW it was up to us as the audience to decipher those elements and where they stick, plus we also had Robert Burke and Sarah Harding as the scientific keys for the film, but as the film shows in correlation to society, ignorance among the vast can be bolder than education. No sir the true "Day Jurassic Park Died" was when JP3 was created. If it hadn't been for the crews' unorganization, short film time, and the departure of Michael Crichton due to a simple writer's block then the new director, wouldn't have made the film into boring sequel about all of Isla Sorna's dinosaurs being portrayed as monsters and early forms of the hybrids we'd see in Treverrow's poor excuse of a Jurassic Park sequels.
The first JP obviously doesn't need explaining...but I liked the 2nd one (gymnastics aside) almost as much. It's the final 3 movies that were drop dead awful
I think (And the other comments support this) that the moment Jurassic Park died was in part III: Right where the spino-saur kills the T. Rex. It literally killed the heart of the story, and the movie just wanted us to accept it, like "This is the NEW Jurassic Park." I remember being a little kid, and thinking that the Spino-saur just wounded the T. Rex, and it would come back in the end and save everybody. And then it didn't. Literally the highlight of Jurassic World was when the T. Rex destroyed the Spino-saur skeleton.
I think a big contributing problem are today's young audiences that have been exposed to mediocre cinematic content since they were born, so their expectations for a 'great film' are centered on action and fast cuts. They're not used to films with slower pacing that thoroughly take time building character arcs and fleshing out the plots. I'm not blaming this age group. But unfortunately, they compose the main demographic that blockbuster Hollywood is targeting. So long as today's teens are satisfied with mediocre content, we shall continue the devolving of film narrative.
One thing I definitely miss is the horror aspect of the raptors. In the first 2 films the raptors where perceived as perfect killing machines but now are some cuddly toy pet doing the humans bidding. I also think that The lost world was a decent sequel, it was pretty hard to beat the original but you are also correct about the final San Diego scene. Good Video!
In FK, somehow the island being engulfed in a volcanic eruption had been reduced to the least dangerous thing on the island. Lava did nothing to baryonyx for some reason, and the pyroclastic flow was pathetically slow, cold, and harmless enough for a human to run through it unscathed. That was the most pathetic eruption I've ever seen in media ever, and it's the whole reason the main characters are on the island, which only makes it that much more disappointing.
It's funny how people still want to see the same thing over and over. True that the 1st is the best in the series but is it's own universe within the grand scheem of things. Granted it's hard to do something new and different from the first thing but even with its flaws they are not brainless action/adventure films. I always do the semantics with Star Wars - which died with The Return of the Jedi.- but they keep making them because... they make a lot of money! The difference between that and Jurassic is that Universal will only make till JW3 while Star Wars are like the Duracell Bunny (Is the same thing over and over). The main theme was completed years ago. Nostalgia is a powerful tool and nothing wrong on using it, but it has to be done right. I feel that even if JW doesn't have that magic the 1st one has it pushes the story foward. Something I see other franchises having trouble with. Even if the T-Rex finale in TLW feels like a Monster movie the animal behaves like an animal, they always have. It does feel like a monster movie. but... doesn't The Ghost and the Darnkess feels the same way?
Andrew Ochoa I COMPLETELY AGREEEEEEE, it’s so annoying the sequels do amazing mixing job of expanding the series, yes the characters in some fo the sequels could of been written better but the characters in the original black weren’t phenomenal either, even though the sequels have their flaws they still carry the ideologies of tampering with nature and the impact of that, he also misses the point of the magic of these animals and how it’s fine that we see them with a decent amount of screen time
You know, I always get surprised by the last act of The Lost World because I seem to just block it from my memory no matter how often I watch that movie.
I actually really liked the intro of the latest jurassic world. The question it asks in the beginning (should we protect the dinosaurs like we protect other animals or should we let nature do its thing and kill them off again) was very interesting and I was hoping we would see different points of view and answers but then we never did. It's like the movie forgot its own premise
In my opinion, it kind of didn’t ask that question though. I felt forced by the narrative and the characters that the only right answer was that the dinosaurs should be saved. Especially in the beginning where Claire is with all the other activists. I was 100 percent “LET THEM DIE” from the beginning, and the movie forced me think I was wrong. Even that INSANE ending with the little girl pushing the button letting out the dinosaurs and the little girls line, “they’re alive....like me” it felt like the movie agreed with her? What a weird moral they took. Those dinosaurs should have died in the gas chamber before being let out into the neighborhood. Lol. You’re wrong movie! I dont agree with your moral!
Yeah that's exactly what I mean. In the beginning of the movie, during the court scene, they explicitly asks these questions but, like you said, the movie doesn't even bother exploring the possible answers, it just goes with the simplest narrative possible and nobody challenges their views. And the clone girl was stupid
no she isn't, it is played early onbe...then when they are captured they talk about it again on when they first saw them...and the fact Clarie hesitates and rfuses the opened it and how painful that is for her. the moral stays in the film.

Make sense IMO considering how disconnected it feels.
it was actually inspired by the original lost world flim ending...
In my opinion, Jurassic Park should have never been made into a franchise. The first movie is very well contained and it comes from a very good sci-fiction book. The problem is hollywood in the last 30 years, they want to transform everything that sold well into a damn franchise!

@@Nanu67-e9j and your father didn't need kids but here we are.
Both Jurassic Park and The Lost World were based on books by Michael Crichton.
I think that The Lost World was underrated, I think it was like a 8/10.
Jurassic park was 10/10.
That’s what I thought, it was different, but at least it had source material. It was decent, but nothing too special. At least it has my favorite soundtrack of all the movies in the franchise.
Lus _ is give it 9/10
Lus _ me too
8/10 to me jp3 7/10.
TLW is one of the criminally underrated sequels of all time.
I think Jurassic Park was really only meant for one film. Beyond the original it became something else. Not something bad. Just different
Like most movies back in the day. Nowadays everyone is looking to make a franshise.
Um it's original novel it was based on was yes, steven always wanted to do a sequel but wanted the original writer to make the next boom
The Barbasol can scene was a literal open door for sequels. And Spielberg actually said it in the BTS stuff
The dinosaurs are like communism: "Oh it's just never been tried correctly. It'll work THIS TIME." If you ask me, the original film should've ended with the island being nuked. (Spielberg could've even used the opportunity to pay tribute to Dr. Strangelove.)
Well Jurassic Park is based on a book, which had a sequel. So really it was meant to have two films. Like he said in the video, it all went wrong when the second movie threw out the original ending for “wow dinosaurs in America”. Having read both books, they’re actually pretty good, but once the source material ran out, it changes for the worse.

But... the Lost World was pretty suspenseful too, wasn't it?!
I think the Lost World was a decent sequel.
If the issue with the sequels is that their morals are replaced with monsters, then what this tells me that the sequels would've just shoved the same "You cant control dinosaurs, it's a bad Idea" from the 1st film, discouraging more people from loving the idea of living dinosaurs, to just simply leaving them to be a forgotten past and memory.
I think returning to the dino islands was a way to let the fans know "hey, they're still alive, and there are more than you could possibly imagine" .
Yeah, they could've been done better, but to leave Jurassic Park where it was would leave the fanbase on a massive cliffhanger wanting more.
Many movies will NEVER reach their original classic predecessor in its "magic" because it's hard for movies to do that.
Even a New Hope was thought to have originally be a standalone, till it was revealed it would be a Trilogy. Trilogy movies really can't capture the audience the same way their first movie did, cause it's almost impossible to reach that expectation.
Andrew Bloomfield Trilogy films can't capture the same magic? Have you seen Empire Strikes Back? I think I get what you're trying to say (ie the premise behind most sequels has already been explored in the original so the film runs the risk of retreading the same ideas), but I don't think sequel films are doomed simply because they are follow-up films.
Star Wars, LoTR, Godfather, they all have sequels that are better than the original. Granted they’re all small exceptions, but it is possible.
king sigGC Godfather part II is on par with the og imo.
Yeah, absolutely. I thought TLW had many suspenseful moments. Spielberg knows how to ratchet that up.
Entertain The Elk
Yep, no doubt about that!
I think you're harder on JP2 than necessary. Most people are unnecessarily harder on JP2 in general, let alone calling out such a specific complaint as yours. I think as a sequel goes, with the spectacle out of the way, you can get down to more interesting questions. JP1 asked "should we?" while JP2 asked "now what?" which is more interesting. But what JW2 really brought into focus was how JP2 still works hard to present the dinosaurs as real animals. The entire thing has a subtext about family, and it was the baby T. rex that motivates the adult T. rex for most of the chase.
The breaking point, to me, was JP3, which devolved into movie monsters. The JW films have fallen even further in that direction, studiously avoiding any of thee potentially interesting plot threads to just have custom engineered movie monsters who only exist to terrorize actors. JW2 was the antithesis of everything Jurassic Park strove to accomplish.
Thanks for watching/commenting!
It's just a commercial movie, it does not do enough in its own story. It works...yet remains unremarkable
@R T I can see why you say that and yes I have some flaws with it but personally I think it is the second best behind the original of course
Dumb
@@RT-gn7de I honestly love the lost world..
While I don’t agree it’s dead that’s only because my bias and love for dinosaurs and this franchise, but I see your point from a movie standpoint
I love dinosaurs too! I just want more. It's like the creators think that they can make a passable movie by just throwing dinosaurs at us.
I think the franchise's morals are what died. With the point that it wasn't set out to be a monster movie and the monsters were only used as a device to evoke interaction and debate between the characters.
While they may not be dead. But they are currently lacking!
Entertain The Elk I mean It's not like there's any other dinosaur movies coming out, so...
They're not dinosaurs they are themed park monsters nothing more nothing less.
I really liked the Lost World. To me, the Lost World has one of the most suspenseful scenes of the franchise when you see the raptors stalking the survivors in the tall grass. Plus, I loved the introduction of the hunter and he did have a huge revelation that this essay missed. The thrill of the hunt lost its luster at the end. When he successfully got his prey, he wasn’t happy or excited. He left empty. He was changed because of this experience. His last words were, something like...I’ve seen enough death. A lot of layers there.
IMO The Lost World is a fine film, and Jurassic Park III and Jurassic World aren’t bad, but Fallen Kingdom was the point where even I couldn’t defend it anymore.
Super Man Same, Fallen Kingdom was just SOOO flat & underwhelming and so overly convoluted that it just wasn't very fun or interesting.
I agree. It had all the depth and complexity of a Jurassic Park Saturday morning cartoon.
Super Man
Agreed
Fallen Kingdom was much more enjoyable than 3 and World.
actually I share the same love for the lost world as the original. It got much unneeded hate. You are right though about fallen kingdom, I can't defend that film.

Jurassic Park might be the most critically acclaimed film of the franchise, but to me, The Lost World is the most rewatchable film. I never get sick of it.
I enjoyed watching it again recently!
I wonder if it would have been more of a classic if they never made sequels and just kept it at the one move.
Interesting question. I think the first film will always be considered a classic on its own. But being connected in name to inferior sequels can't help.
Fair point!
Shrek, Land Before Time, Scream, Pirates of the Caribbean and Jaws just to name a few could all be in the same argument. Might make for a great video to break down 'Can a sequel ruin in any way the "Classic Status" of it's original.'
MrSquifler I just do not see it as the "hot girl" complex. I get your point that it looks hotter standing next to all the ugly sequels. I think for movies though when you run an idea into the ground and try to drain everything you can out of it you get a lost product. Like he pointed out in this video. In my opinion that is what makes the Dark Knight so great or The Godfather. They have a great follow up. Maybe one of the movies in the trilogy missed the mark but The Godfather was followed up by The Godfather part II which was also great. Those movies together help more than Jurassic Park does with any of its sequels.
Openingband It's like a dinner plate where your foods touch and therefore make the food that you like a little gross. You wont complain but you'll wish it hadn't.
The ending to fallen kingdom is a great example of the problem of turning this into a monster/action film

Hollywood will not listen to reason. Same reason why they keep rebooting and remaking every movie ever made. I think that independent films need to be glorified, and not constant sequels to stories that should have ended years ago.
Why listen to reason when you can make *money*

Sad truth... :(
When does this remake and reboot fever started?
I think it started in 2005, when Batman Begins, King Kong, and War of the Worlds were released.
Lost world ain't that bad.

Don't worry. I made the same lame joke at the end of my essay. :)
Bravo! That's exactly what I think of the franchise. And I hate how every time they say the new one is gonna be a more classic, plot focused movie and then it's just another monster movie with some nostalgic Easter eggs and references to the first one.
Exactly!
Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World take most plot points from the first two books. In fact most of Fallen Kingdom is taken straight from the books. If you actually paid attention then you would know that these movies are very story driven and not just some slasher flick with dinosaurs.
100% agree
DPO23 have you even watched the new movie? The whole point of the new one is to push the story forward
Fallen kingdom despite its awful soundtrack and goofiness (the whole scene where the volcano erupts came off goofy and cartoonish) is a film that really takes the franchise forward. Selling dinosaurs as specialized weapons or attractions and the whole theme do dinosaurs have the same rights as animals. Reading the Lost World novel is the same idea Lew Dodgson had of using dinosaurs as lab guinea pigs or as weapons.
Holy shit! The xenomorph is only 5 minutes on screen in Alien. Great video btw
Thanks! And yeah, crazy to think about.
I thought the lost world was pretty good, but everything after it was mediocre at best
A side note, Godzilla (2014) tried to replicate the “Jaws effect” by not showing the monster that much. But that ONLY works if you have interesting characters and good actors to rely on. It didn’t so it was neither here nor there.
Completely agree. You have to care about the characters. The characters in Jaws were fantastic which is why we could just watch them on a boat comparing scars.
Its' so ironic seeing all these low quality cash grab movies when one of the core ideas in the original movie was to highlight the negative nature of corporate greed that milks everything for money no matter the consequences. The fact that Spielberg doubted his own sequel while still shooting the movie speaks volumes of the difference between grade A directors compared to the rest as well.
Agreed!
At least Spielberg tried when making The Lost World.
not really ironic since ho;Hollywood never practice what they preach
What is so cash grab about Fallen Kingdom exactly? If you could back up your statement then perhaps it would hold a little gravitas. In fact what we're actually dealing with here is a franchise who's now trying to move in a new and original director. Yet we'll have to deal with people complaining about it not being familiar enough with the original while also complaining that it's just a "cash grab". Those two things are contradicting.
*SPOT ON* the new one is a literal farce. I will no longer invest in this Jurassic park series. Until they do as you prescribe in your essay.
Thank you
JWFK is borderline unwatchable.
Entertain The Elk I persisted till the end. I don't regret doing so, as I now know I'll never watch another. Unless they drastically change course.
Jurassic Park died when they made sequels.
It’s sad that these movies have become a excuse to see bad looking CGI hybrid monsters that look like dinosaurs.
Totally agreed. The Third Act of The Lost World felt so out of place. The original ending about main characters fighting Ptera's while escaping in the helicopters sounds a lot better than in the final release.
Another youtuber made a video with basically the same questions and same arguments a while ago... I guess this is "trending". Oh well...
For me, the only movie really forced was JP3. But since the first movie ended vastly different than the book, that made new movies hard to do based on the source material. That's why a reboot wasn't a terrible idea, because you could revisit the books looking for a good route that could work. And maybe the Fallen Kingdom will work as that middle man for the a great 3rd movie, who knows? Even so, getting great set ups from the book was a big plus for me.
Rodrigo Molinsky right, it’s like people wan the same things from a sequel, every sequel brings something new to the table and still carries those ideologies of tampering with nature with a cause and effect of nature’s wrath, I feel like he’s over viewing these films and not appreciating them for what they are especially with the newest film being the closest atmosphere wise to the novel and where the series is going so far based from the novels

I honestly don't think that "this character didn't deserve this death" isn't a valid complaint. It just goes to show anything can happen to anyone no matter how nice of a person they are.
I don't mind that they died. It's the huge spectacle deaths that are overblown and should be reserved for the main villain.

@@JurassicProductions228 that's not the argument try to fight someone who isn't made of straw
Where did it go wrong? Let's see: the sequels became horror thrillers with storytelling taking a backseat and an over reliance on cgi which makes everything look less realistic. Jurassic World tried to recreate the original but with concepts like the population being bored after a few years, the pen for the Indominus Rex having only one door and militarizing dinos is just stupid all around and more unrealistic than actually having dinosaurs exist at all. Poor storytelling will make anything go extinct--like the direction of this franchise!
djryken yeah
As much as I do enjoy the crazy action and horror elements of the new movies, the writing and characters are so weak and you can only make dumb fun monster movies for so long
Jurassic Park was quotable, memorable and legendary. I can quote almost the entire script and oh boy are there awesome quotes in there! Where as the sequels are SEVERELY lacking in this. They feel, for lack of better word, a hollow shell with pretty pictures...
Also JP was a dino movie showing how they lived and where we stand on the foodchain out in the wild along with discussions about ethics and technology development, the sequels gradually turned them into ever increasing scarier monsters... You can replace the dino's with aliens or monsters and it's basically the same movie, you can't do that with JP...
^Ah good on ya, you actually addressed this \o/
Heck Jurassic World is almost a carbon copy of the Jurassic Park script, except with an ADD pace, jitter camera for "suspense" and lacking the engaging (rather bland) character development., not to mention dumbed down/unbelievable characters subject to plot advancement...There is no wonder and awe in Jurassic World...
Great minds think alike!
Completely completely agree.
Wow. I cant believe you ripped the dinosaur rampage at the end of 2. Thats hands down my favorite part. Its better than the original ending.
Did you know that sometimes in india there are tiger or elephant rampages in villages. And the results are pretty gnarly. I cant imagine a trex going on a hormonal rampage through florida would be a very subtle or artistic comentary on monster movies. Jurrasic park is what it is and that is ok. They could stand to show more dinosaur sequences instead of expecting the film to be carried by the actors.
P.S. do tremors next.
It's really hard to re-capture the 1st one. I remember when I watched it. I really believed that we can bring back dinosaurs no kidding. I was mesmerized and jaw dropped. One of Spielberg's greatest work and probably Stan Winston's greatest work. Even today the T-Rex in the 1st movie cannot be beaten because it is real, they built it. No VFX can top it.
Agreed!
Jurassic Park died the moment people lost their nostalgia.
Lazy copy paste argument people apply to things they put no thought into
Interesting.
So never?
SUPER SAMMICH It's possible to lose nostalgia?, the people who really love the original film will love it no matter what, but yes the casual fans who only remember it may like it less upon rewatching it.

@@JLDReactions I like it too but the characters aren't intelligent
Heck it died while Jurassic Park 3's script was getting written. Then it was killed off once JP3 came out.
Exactly like the T. REX was also killed off but by the Spinosaurus
This saddens me because the first Jurassic park is one of my favorite movies why did they have to kill it?
Michael Crichtons novels were actually super scary -- scarier than Steven Kings novels.
So for Spielberg to say he didn't want to make a "monster movie" is really weird.
Y'all remember in the first Jurassic Park novel, when a bunch of compies ate a baby right in front of it's mother?
Good times
The Lost World was actually pretty good
Yeah agreed. Just didn't like the ending.
Entertain The Elk. Yeah that’s fair. I thought the last act being the obvious weaker act was still alright, but I understand why a lot of people don’t like it
Everything about this is spot on! I felt the same way about the new Predator movie. I couldn't sit through it. What made the original great was rarely seeing it.
Still hoping for "The Day Cartoon Network died". It might be hard to pinpoint when it declined though and Adult Swim is still successful.
I think it's a great idea. Just a long list of stuff to get through. :)
Jurassic world series might have gone extinct, but the first Jurassic park movie will be preserved in our hearts.
Damn straight!
Jurassic Park just became a Fast and Furious Franchise.
They should have pulled a jaws were they blow up the big dinosaurs like "smile you son of a" scene
:)
Hehe, that would be... neat.
But I do like Rexy kicking ass and claiming the man made structures as her own better
I love JW. I love seeing a fully-functioning park, where people succumb to the idiocy of viewing other animals like theme park rides.
I agree, although it came no where close to the original. But I think what it had going for it, over the other sequels, is that it was a fresh start, and it’s sequels were done better, as they actually continued the story of Star Lord and Barbie, instead of ditching them for an almost entirely new main cast in each sequel, as JP did.
In the original we became caught up in the awe and sense of wonder of the cast, and then their sense of horror and dread, but with the sequels we lost most of the very characters that were wrapped up with our emotions in the original. Yes, Malcolm was a decent character in the original, but he spent half the movie laying on a table with his shirt open, while Grant and the kids were running for their lives in the jungle, and while Ellie was trying to find a way to find make get everyone to safety. Yet Goldblum being a much bigger name, they decided to continue his story in the first sequel, but seriously, had it not been acted by Goldblum no one would have given Malcolm a second look or thought.

A lot of people have asked for it. It's definitely on my list!

@@johnwithey9788 It was groundbreaking, thrilling, well written and acted, thoughtful, and the special effects looked absolutely amazing. None of this could be said about Jurassic World, in my opinion.
Im a HUGE JP fan, I was about 8 or so when i watched it first, 25 now. I have watched making offs more often than the movies, and love them. I must say that, maybe the fact that it HAS turned in to a monster movie in JW2, which i agree to has made it unique in its own sense. JW1 was weird as i remember, too many rip offs to jp1 that you mentioned as well. But jw2 i actually liked, somewhere through watching the film i lost the adventure feeling, but it turned in to something new, a bit more dark.. but I honestly liked the last one. And so is jp2, i like jp1,2 and jw2. I fully agree on the 2 points you make, but that doesn;t make a movie 'bad' or so. I don't like the 'make it for the fans' argument shit. A movie gets bad, if it on itself has a bad character. The ideas are great indeed, but one can feel that they try to incoorporate far too much nostalgia and stuff unrelated to a solid story. I guess that is the business these days.. Welcome ... to holly-wood.
Thanks for the comment and for watching! :)
I love the first movie. The second I massively liked, but it deviated too much from the novel in the end (and it is the parts that are accurate to the book that are the best parts of JP2).
And then JP3 came along, and broke the filmmaking rule Spielberg set out in the first 2 movies: Let Dinosaurs behave like animals. Dangerous animals, but animals nonetheless. And do not make them monsters.
Even with a rampaging T-Rex in San Diego in JP2, Spielberg had at least added a scene that explained that the T-Rex was heavily drugged with sedatives and stimulants. In JP3 and beyond, the Dino's started behaving "just because they are monsters". I had hopes for JW1 and JW2, but they kept the monster trend.
The franchise died (for me at least) when they decided to make Lost World and the third one non-canon and made a reboot out of nowhere.
Also making the asian scientist the true bad guy behind all the crazy super enhanced evil dinosaurs? Why?
rusty Not anymore. You see, Jurassic World happens around 20 years after the first movie. In that time, there was never a second attemp to make the park again (like in The Lost World) or a second island (JP3). Or at least Hammond couldn't afford another disaster. I can't believe what I'm saying but in that case the reboot DOES makes sense. No one would want to go to a second park after what happened to the first one.
@@Death_Korps_Officer Well, they mention Isla Sorna in FK and in the DPG site, so they are canon
Brilliant review. This is quality writing and a great representation of clips to make the point. As a fan of the franchise I applaud your review and hope someone with that same insight and understanding will be the one that writes the next movie.
It's time someone understands that Jurassic Park and the excitement that makes live shows like "Walking With Dinosaurs" and museum visits which spark the imagination, the wonder and awe of these creatures for children, adults and those that see their small part on this earth was magical.
I see where you’re coming from. But I love the Lost World in my opinion it’s the only worthy sequel. I don’t understand the hate it gets. Many memorable scenes and performances. I love Malcolm’s character arc. Compared to the other sequels The Lost World is a masterpiece. It’s a completely different story from the first, it’s much darker. And as for the last scene I think it was a fun what if scenario. The T Rex never felt like a monster to me but a badass dinosaur hunting not constrained by modern rules. I think the first two films are great companion pieces. Now, from the third movie on the films have been quite bad. Great video though, I appreciate the time and effort you’ve put in to it.
I think 75% of JP2 is great. So yeah, I don't think it's terrible by any means.
Entertain The Elk just the last segment huh? I get that. I think the T. rex rampage is a great scene that the other sequels haven’t duplicated.
New Age Scam Artist I agree Spielberg is one of the finest story tellers of all time. Great analogy by the way.
Died??? What are you talking about, a raptor saying “Alan” and another raptor genuinely crying are proof that this series will never die
Hahaha
cringe intensifies
Max O'Byrne that's why to me jp3 was the worst in the franchise
Haven seen all of the movies including the 2nd Jurassic World, I think that Jurassic World 2 did a lot to recover lost ground. It presented ethical questions and much more terror than anything since Lost World.
They did try and make it scary in the house. I think that could've been the entire movie in a sense. Like Alien. That would've been like a haunted house of dinosaurs. That would've felt different at least.
And yet it was bad
It dies because Michael Crighton wrote the first one. It's damn hard work to write a good story and takes a lot of time. 2 years mostly, at least.
Actually, The Lost World and Jurassic Park 3, were on Isla Sorna, Site B, and Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, and Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom were on Isla Nublar.

“ Random cruel deaths” are you joking those are the main reason I watch dinosaur movies, makes it way more awesome when fandoms die
There's literally only *one* good Jurassic Park movie. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
Man, you are so damn right.
+Entertain The Elk I have to disagree with you on your statement. Though The Lost World didn't share the dynamic of first Jurassic Park, the film did have its succession. And it certainly didn't start "The Day Jurassic Park Died" because as I know from all fans they just hate some Lost World because it didn't fit their pov(s) and entertainment, but you look at TLW it is all the more satire in the characters' survival on the island which is often put into danger by the rippling "Butterfly Effect" which Malcolm greatly details in both the 1st JP and the novels. It plays an amazing part into TLW's development. Also many of the dinosaurs on Isla Sorna for TLW were acting on their instinct, acting like real animals, out in the wild, fitting into their niches where their counterparts had left off, not representing movie monsters. In order to incorporate the science to TLW it was up to us as the audience to decipher those elements and where they stick, plus we also had Robert Burke and Sarah Harding as the scientific keys for the film, but as the film shows in correlation to society, ignorance among the vast can be bolder than education.
No sir the true "Day Jurassic Park Died" was when JP3 was created. If it hadn't been for the crews' unorganization, short film time, and the departure of Michael Crichton due to a simple writer's block then the new director, wouldn't have made the film into boring sequel about all of Isla Sorna's dinosaurs being portrayed as monsters and early forms of the hybrids we'd see in Treverrow's poor excuse of a Jurassic Park sequels.

@King Ghidorah Ummmmm... What?
@King Ghidorah go on...
Realising how right you were broke my heart
I think (And the other comments support this) that the moment Jurassic Park died was in part III: Right where the spino-saur kills the T. Rex. It literally killed the heart of the story, and the movie just wanted us to accept it, like "This is the NEW Jurassic Park."
I remember being a little kid, and thinking that the Spino-saur just wounded the T. Rex, and it would come back in the end and save everybody. And then it didn't.
Literally the highlight of Jurassic World was when the T. Rex destroyed the Spino-saur skeleton.
I think a big contributing problem are today's young audiences that have been exposed to mediocre cinematic content since they were born, so their expectations for a 'great film' are centered on action and fast cuts. They're not used to films with slower pacing that thoroughly take time building character arcs and fleshing out the plots. I'm not blaming this age group. But unfortunately, they compose the main demographic that blockbuster Hollywood is targeting. So long as today's teens are satisfied with mediocre content, we shall continue the devolving of film narrative.
The Lost World was not "mediocre". It was great.
That's your opinion, not mine.
But your opinion is wrong.
Opinions and facts are two different things. Your opinion is no more or less valid than anyone else's. And that is a fact.
@@alexandresobreiramartins9461 what? how does that make sense
yeah !
The sequels arent meant to recapture the first one. If you wanted to relive your childhood just watch the first one and leave it at that.
I honestly love the sequels, each one was very different, and the quality of the films is still incredible.
One thing I definitely miss is the horror aspect of the raptors. In the first 2 films the raptors where perceived as perfect killing machines but now are some cuddly toy pet doing the humans bidding.
I also think that The lost world was a decent sequel, it was pretty hard to beat the original but you are also correct about the final San Diego scene.
Good Video!
They shouldve stopped at Jurassic Park 3.
Why didnt they? Did they want the money so bad, that many years later after 3? Sad answer is......yes.
Can you do the day XXXTENTACION died?
I greatly agree that the World film's aren't suspenseful at all.
In FK, somehow the island being engulfed in a volcanic eruption had been reduced to the least dangerous thing on the island. Lava did nothing to baryonyx for some reason, and the pyroclastic flow was pathetically slow, cold, and harmless enough for a human to run through it unscathed. That was the most pathetic eruption I've ever seen in media ever, and it's the whole reason the main characters are on the island, which only makes it that much more disappointing.
It's funny how people still want to see the same thing over and over. True that the 1st is the best in the series but is it's own universe within the grand scheem of things.
Granted it's hard to do something new and different from the first thing but even with its flaws they are not brainless action/adventure films.
I always do the semantics with Star Wars - which died with The Return of the Jedi.- but they keep making them because... they make a lot of money! The difference between that and Jurassic is that Universal will only make till JW3 while Star Wars are like the Duracell Bunny (Is the same thing over and over). The main theme was completed years ago.
Nostalgia is a powerful tool and nothing wrong on using it, but it has to be done right. I feel that even if JW doesn't have that magic the 1st one has it pushes the story foward. Something I see other franchises having trouble with.
Even if the T-Rex finale in TLW feels like a Monster movie the animal behaves like an animal, they always have. It does feel like a monster movie. but... doesn't The Ghost and the Darnkess feels the same way?
Andrew Ochoa I COMPLETELY AGREEEEEEE, it’s so annoying the sequels do amazing mixing job of expanding the series, yes the characters in some fo the sequels could of been written better but the characters in the original black weren’t phenomenal either, even though the sequels have their flaws they still carry the ideologies of tampering with nature and the impact of that, he also misses the point of the magic of these animals and how it’s fine that we see them with a decent amount of screen time
You know, I always get surprised by the last act of The Lost World because I seem to just block it from my memory no matter how often I watch that movie.
It really annoyed me how Nick just disappeared in the third act of TLW especially while the t-rex was on the rampage.
Every movie just gets worse and worse
The Day Jurassic Park Went Extinct
:)
Alec A. i'm happy for that since i know these things are not real dinos, i feel bad for the real dinos not these things
I actually really liked the intro of the latest jurassic world. The question it asks in the beginning (should we protect the dinosaurs like we protect other animals or should we let nature do its thing and kill them off again) was very interesting and I was hoping we would see different points of view and answers but then we never did. It's like the movie forgot its own premise
Totally!
In my opinion, it kind of didn’t ask that question though. I felt forced by the narrative and the characters that the only right answer was that the dinosaurs should be saved. Especially in the beginning where Claire is with all the other activists. I was 100 percent “LET THEM DIE” from the beginning, and the movie forced me think I was wrong. Even that INSANE ending with the little girl pushing the button letting out the dinosaurs and the little girls line, “they’re alive....like me” it felt like the movie agreed with her? What a weird moral they took. Those dinosaurs should have died in the gas chamber before being let out into the neighborhood. Lol. You’re wrong movie! I dont agree with your moral!
Yeah that's exactly what I mean. In the beginning of the movie, during the court scene, they explicitly asks these questions but, like you said, the movie doesn't even bother exploring the possible answers, it just goes with the simplest narrative possible and nobody challenges their views. And the clone girl was stupid
no she isn't, it is played early onbe...then when they are captured they talk about it again on when they first saw them...and the fact Clarie hesitates and rfuses the opened it and how painful that is for her. the moral stays in the film.
They should've listened to Michael Crichton when he said there's really nothing that can be done with the series after Lost World.
Seriously!
