Only by ruining the park can we find more possibilities for the series, but...

Three years ago, "Jurassic World" really made me very excited. It is very simple. As a fan of the series, who doesn’t want to see The park is open on the big screen and follow the camera to tour What about the world’s most costly and security factor park? Even if there are many slots such as "beating high heels to beat Tyrannosaurus", fans will still reach a consensus on the Internet-this is the best sequel of the series.

Today's "Jurassic World 2" is more like a bold exploration and attempt. The previous four "Jurassic" movies, except for the last part of "Lost World", which moved Tyrannosaurus to the city, the rest have never broken through. "Island" limits the story, and the first half of "Jurassic World 2" clearly tells viewers and fans, "The park is gone", the dormant island on Nubra Island where the park is located. The volcano awakened and erupted, and the prehistoric behemoth was facing the threat of second extinction. The heroine was persuaded to join the rescue team and land on the island to rescue the dragon. She was emotionally persuaded to persuade the hero to accompany him to save him and take care of the big Velociraptor Bru.

Volcanic eruption ruined the park

The first half of the film is an emotional farewell. We saw the ruins of the park ruined by the "tyrannosaurus rex" on the upper part, and saw the largest variety of dinosaurs in the history of the series, including the first appearance of the heavy claw dragon and allosaurus. Carnotaurus, there are also familiar species that reappear out of feelings: the deafening brachiosaurus walks slowly, the slender-jawed dragon flashes in the ruined shop window, and of course the increasingly important Velociraptor, full of feelings. The eruption of the volcano suddenly turned into a large disaster. Humans and dragons rushed to escape, with visual impact. Finally, Nubra Island was swallowed by magma. Looking from the boat, the smoke was filled with smoke. The sorrow of the scene seemed to pull the audience back to the beginning of everything 25 years ago. Recalling "Jurassic Park", several protagonists just set foot on Nubra Island, and the first thing they saw was this brachiosaurus, and it was the same. Standing with his head held high, tears were streaming down my eyes from this scene.

"Jurassic World 2" made the most tearful tribute to this scene of "Jurassic Park"

The island is gone, the park is ruined, and you can’t go back. It breaks through the previous "island" restrictions on the series. The second half of the film is a bold innovation and an attempt that has to be made. You can never expect this series. Every movie is the same. The unlucky ones are chased by all kinds of dinosaurs on the island, right? Always have to change place to be chased by dinosaurs...

As a result, the story stage became the ancient Lockwood Manor, just like a huge house that ran out of the "Resident Evil" game. Inside it was secretly undergoing intensified genetic mixing experiments and underground auctions. The island had just been rescued from the dinosaurs before they came out. The tiger's lair entered the wolf den again, and was transported to the manor by private armed forces. Merchants eagerly eager to bid for the hammer, buyers from all over the world raised placards. I thought this idea was stupid years ago, I’m sorry, you have to continue to bear it...Spending $10 to 20 million to buy a dinosaur as a weapon, it’s a bit uneconomical, except that it’s more handsome. What is the actual effect? The buyers are all big local tyrants from the Middle East and China.....The protagonists who were captured and taken to the Lockwood Manor and imprisoned realized that the entire mission to rescue the dragon was a conspiracy, and they must work together to prevent the auction from proceeding. Shi Quan’s divine assist—not Bru, but Styx’s debut, knocking the whole auction into a smashing smash, and the male and female protagonists took advantage of the chaos to escape, but unfortunately, the idiot little boss who likes to pull his teeth as a memorial To die, the big boss tyrannical Raptor was accidentally released... The old house + evil dragon brought a series of unprecedented gothic thrillers, once directed "Lonely Castle" and "When a Monster Comes Knock". Spanish director JA Bayana used his old expertise to let the bad raptor, the good velociraptor, the bad uncle, the little girl, and the two protagonists play hide-and-seek in the gloomy mansion. . . The little girl's escape from sliding the door is obviously a tribute to the replica of the "Jurassic Park" Raptor chase... Brue is fully open to the loyal dog attribute at the end of this part, and the ending climax is another fight between humans and dragons.

There are many similar tributes in the film

It’s good to be bold enough to broaden the series, which allows us to see more possibilities for this series, but whether it is done well depends on the skill of the screenwriter. Part of the plot of the film is indeed far-fetched. Some screenwriters want to complete the general direction of the story and lead to the next story. In the middle It is so hard to make up whatever you want, and lack of explanation, the most obvious of which is the unbearable ending: the poisonous gas leaks from the mansion, and the protagonists are stuck in the difficult choice of whether to open the gate and release the dragon. All of the dinosaurs died of poison, let go, and the dinosaurs ran into human society, posing challenges to human survival. Hold on, are you serious about the screenwriter? Just released dozens of dinosaurs, plus a few that were successfully auctioned off before the auction, will it threaten the survival of mankind? Will the human world become a "Jurassic world"? When watching the series veteran Dr. Malcolm (played by Gao Tianzun) telling the audience "Welcome to Jurassic World" seriously, I was really speechless. That's it! I feel that the biggest threat is only the mosasaur in the sea... There is also the new girl Messi in this game. The latter part of the film is reversed. She is a clone. In the end, she presses the button to release all the dinosaurs." They are all lives just like me." Even if they were born by cloning technology, they are also life and have the same right to survive. I hope that this character will have more supplementary explanations in the next part, not just to free all the dinosaurs. Have a taste of scientific ethics. I hope that the lower part can make a practical supplement to the large number of pits left in this movie. Don't tell me that there are dozens of dinosaurs so that the next movie will be full of dinosaurs. This is nonsense and hard.

This is the big boss tyrannical raptor

There is also the big boss tyrannical Raptor. Starting from "Jurassic World", the series has turned to the route of playing homemade monsters, mixing and matching dinosaur genes with various biological genes to create some new varieties of hybrid dinosaurs. After all, monster movies are now big There is no problem with revival, and it can be regarded as a more exciting new direction in the series. The tyrannical Tyrannosaurus at the upper part is not only invisible, but also possesses a certain IQ (much higher than some human characters), and encounters an air that is difficult for him to deal with. When supporting, it will break through the glass wall of the Pterosaur Hall and let the pterosaurs deal with the helicopter... In the end, the Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor teamed up to tie it, and had to let the Mossaurus boss who suddenly jumped out of the water. It is KO, one thing is reduced to one thing, and the big mouth is the rude pleasure of the king. However, this tyrannical raptor, at the beginning of the propaganda, has always emphasized that it is "the strongest biological weapon in history", meaning that it is better than the tyrannical overlord. Is the dragon still good? But looking at the end of the film, it’s not that it’s weak, but I really didn’t think that this tyrannical raptor has any powerful skills. It’s not a great skill to be able to follow the command. Open the door or something, "Jurassic Park" So will the Velociraptor in "(another tribute)... So it is only an XL version at best, a strong Raptor. From the point of view of its size, the fighting power may even be inferior to the previous generation of big boss Tyrannosaurus Rex... Although the movie The comparison also explains: this is a semi-finished product that needs improvement. (The semi-finished product should also be taken out? The producer has emphasized that there will be no more mixed-blood dinosaurs in the lower part. Why don't you take a good look at this movie?) But Compared with the publicity, there is still a big gap.

In general, the film’s entertainment is good, and the use of a large number of robotic dinosaurs has also improved the film’s texture compared to the previous one, but it would be better if the screenwriter can put more effort into the script. Also, the story volume of "Jurassic World 2" can support a film length of 140 minutes, why should it be shortened to 128 minutes? Part of the plot has a sense of haste, and the explanation is not clear enough. Is it possible that this series really can't be longer than 130 minutes? (The previous four "Jurassic" films were 126 minutes, 129 minutes, 92 minutes, and 124 minutes respectively... It seems that they were restricted to 130 minutes or less)...

Finally, add a few comments and complaints:

1. The location of the park on a volcanic island is too ill-considered. Of course, it can be said that the screenwriter of this episode had to use a very far-fetched reason to destroy the island.

2. The second brush found that there was a line mentioning "Sona Island" shortly after the beginning of the film. This is where the story of "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" took place. ("Sona Island" is a secondary island where dinosaurs were raised , The main island is "Nubula Island" where Jurassic Park is located), which proves that the screenwriter still recognizes the existence of "Sona Island." 》In this blank period, what kind of disaster happened on "Sona Island" that caused all the dinosaurs on that island to die or move to Nubra Island? So far, the film’s explanation for this is only a few words that are simply not enough. I believe many viewers who remember "The Lost World" will look confused: Is one island gone, isn’t there another island? ! It is estimated that "The Mystery of the Destruction of Sona Island" can make another "Jurassic World Prequel".

Ms. Cang’s shots, most of them are used in the trailer

3. This work takes place four years after the timeline of "Jurassic World". At the beginning of the film, because the character of the dragon set accidentally encounters the Tyrannosaurus, the misoperation caused by the hurried escape caused the park ruined pool to open, and the dragon trapped in the pool took the opportunity to travel. Out of the sea, the question is: How did the mosasaur survive for four years in a closed pond? Is it just by sneak attacking the dinosaurs near the shore? Poor Teacher Cang...It's so hard to eat a meal.

4. It would be too careless to put the Styx dragon in a cell without any protection. Think about how this dinosaur was subdued in "The Lost World"... I can only say "Jurassic World 2". The IQ of helping the bad guys owes money, they don't understand dinosaurs at all.

5. Whether it's the ship or the manor prison, these most important places don't even have a guard...none...

Will Dr. Wu be the third boss...? A little overhang

6. Dr. Wu, Dr. Wu. . . In "Jurassic Park", he is a soy saucer character. In "Jurassic World", he turned black and turned into a genetic creator madman. No matter how you look at it, he is a little villain and even has the potential to become a big demon in the later stage. Department. . . Why did he become a somewhat funny character in the end? . . Even the soundtrack he appeared in became a bit comedy, and was easily overwhelmed by the supporting roles...too waste.

7. The role of Tyrannosaurus Rex in this episode is too limited. It feels like brushing up the sense of existence. The screenwriter wants it to appear, but it has no special effect. Think about how awesome the previous work is, and it’s hidden for a long time. The final climax comes on stage. Tyrannosaurus tyrannical, so handsome, okay? . This climax part has nothing to do with fighting monsters. It is estimated that the screenwriter also thinks that the combat effectiveness of the tyrannical raptor is not worthy of being the opponent of the boss. . .

8. Evil Lego, one of the new products spoils the death of the big boss, it is almost the same... The still picture below is the first official still released a year ago, and now it is found that the whole movie is two big The most important and least spoiled plots are all in this picture. . .
