The announcement came from Director Colin Trevorrow on Twitter with a temporary logo (see attachments).
The short “Battle of Big Rock” (2019) gave us a glimpse of what we will see in JW: Dominion. I for one am optimistic. I enjoyed both World and Fallen Kingdom. The news of the return of Sam Niel as Dr. Alan Grant and Laura Dern as Ellie Sattler is liable to make Dominion nostalgic.
Filming has begun, and the release date for Jurassic World: Dominion is June 11th, 2021.
———————————
What dinosaurs do you think we shall see in Dominion?
We certainly we see the following species that got loose in Fallen Kingdom:
Allosaurus
Ankylosaurus
Apatosaurus
Carnotaurus
Triceratops
Stegosaurus
Pterodon
Tyrannosaurus Rex (Rexy)
Velociraptor (Blue)
We also got to see a new species in “Battle of Big Rock”
Nasutoceratops
Will INGEN/ Dr. Wu introduce new species?
What species do you want to see?
Will we get a new hybrid villian like the Indominus Rex and Indoraptor?
Welcome to Jurassic World! *Cue JP theme*

The link failed, I did what it said to make the pic seen; but I see this happen a lot in the LBT Caption section. I started reverting to using attachment to make sure the pic remaina.
So what do you think Sneak? Are you excited for Dominion?

never watched World, only Park. :P
Jurassic Park (1993) will always be the best. Spielberg was in his golden years of storytelling and the technology: CGI and animatronics was just ripe to make those dinosaurs look real. Actually JP still looks better than Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom because they used animatronics in JP more. The Jurassic World Trilogy overuses CG, which never ages well.
Jurassic World has been descent, but the gimmicks (Rexy saving the day) are getting old. I have enjoyed Blue The Velociraptor, but Bryce Dallas Howard is no Laura Dern, and Chris Pratt has nothing on Sam Neil’s Dr. Alan Grant.

This film is going to be a disaster I just know it. Hopefully it won't be as bad as Fallen Kingdom though. I am already calling it their going to somehow ruin Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler. Or who knows maybe it being delayed will let them have more time to make it better. Though that's probably not going to happen. Also just like the last 2 films their probably going to say that Dilophosaurus will appear in it but then drop them later in production.
It probably will suffer from Avenger/Justice League and Star Wars Sequel Trilogy issues: i.e. too many characters and cameos.
I however, hope its a fitting end to the franchise.
Personally I think Jurassic Park should have ended as a trilogy. However, Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous are both good.

I saw JP4, never bothered to watch JP5, but Imma see this just for Dr. Grant and Sattler. They were my favorite characters in the first film and I'm not gonna miss seeing them on screen again.
I wish they'd bring Lex and Tim back, imagine seeing them as adults!
Its a perfect full circle, Alan and Ellie survived the park, now the world is the park.
Alan and Ellie are favs of mine too.
I’d love to see Lex and Tim again! Perhaps a cameo like in TLW:JP?

Maybe he will be in support of killing the dinosaurs considering the events in JP3 because that's the most evil they could probably come up with. We will have to wait and see.
The most interesting idea is Alan Grant is part of a dino-terrorist group, helping sabotage InGen labs, DNA, and like in effort to quell the spread of “genetically engineered theme park monsters.” (JP III).

I think Dominion will be unique. Not JPIII repackaged. For one the Spinosaurus won’t be in Dominion.True. But I have the feeling that the Giga is going to play a similar role to the Spino.

Really? Now they have fully feathered Raptors? Six movies in? :petriemad Also from now on you should hide any spoilers we may get because I am not repeating Fallen Kingdom again.
Well Dr. Henry Wu said in Jurassic World that the dinos in Jurassic World were not pure, they were designed to look the way people expect. Plus the raptors in JW may be based on Dienonychus DNA which have no feathers.

You know what looking at that mini dinosaur closer I don't think it's a raptor. It might be a baby Rex or another small theropod similar to a raptor.
Perhaps its Troodon or something else.

I have to say it illicited no emotion in me. I really feel this film will suffer because fans did not respond well to the T-Rex rampaging through San Diego in The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
I honestly felt watching this sneak peak, that the Jurassic Franchise should have ended with Jurassic Park III. This franchise feels like what Bilbo Baggins says in The Fellowship of the Ring film, “I feel thin, like too little butter spread over too much bread.”
This 5mins of footage makes me hope this is the end of the Jurassic films.
The only exception, is I love Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. It captured the heart of Jurassic Park.
Post by: LittleDas75 on November 26, 2021, 02:57:08 PM
The first five minutes of Jurassic World:I am not looking forward to this film either. It looks like it's going to be worse than Fallen Kingdom. Also I am done with defending the inaccuracies in this franchise and oh boy this prologue has a lot like Putting Tyrannosaurus and Giganotosaurus together when they both lived at different places at completely different times. Also I'm sorry but the Giga design is hideous. Why couldn't they have used the Giga from JWE because that design was a lot better.

Annnd then the humans come in. Yeah, I don't have a good feeling about this one either. Fallen Kingdom was so underwhelming to me and I've got a feeling this one's going to be similar. I've never been a massive fan of JW compared to the JP and it just seems to be slipping further with each film. But who knows, maybe this'll surprise us.
The only exception, is I love Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. It captured the heart of Jurassic Park.
Agreed, Camp Cretaceous is great. I believe Season 4 is coming out in a week and I'm much more excited for that than Dominion.

Yeah it makes sense to have Giga and T-Rex fight in our times because of InGen using D.N.A. From Triassic, Jurassic, and Early and Late Cretaceous Periods. But to have two dinos from two seperate time periods battling in the past? Sigh, Pseudo-Paleontology.
In defense of the designs (not Giga) Dr. Henry Wu does explain in the first Jurassic World he designed them to meet expectations, and that the real dinosaurs would look very different. However, that only works for InGen lab created dinos, not those from the Prehistoric eras.
I gotta say, I'd love to see a docuseries that looks like the first three minutes here. I think that looks gorgeous, dinosaur inaccuracies aside. :smile

I agree, definitely getting Fallen Kingdom vibes. The biggest issue I had with Fallen Kingdom is the tension resides in “save the dinos!” and if we don’t intervene the dinos will re-extinct. Uh Isla Sorna has lots of dinos, and Henry Wu has tons of DNA samples.
I am the same. I prefer The JP films to the JW ones.
A fellow fan of Camp Cretaceous! We should chat about Season 4 in the Camp Cretaceous thread when it comes out. :)

I at least hope that Michael Giacchino's score is better this time and isn't bland and forgettable like it was in Fallen Kingdom.
The JW theme is pretty good, even iconic, but nost of his other scores are nothing special.

True but I think he still had a lot of bangers in Jurassic World like Chasing the Dragons and Our Rex is Bigger Than yours and his reprises of the classic themes are good too but yeah their isn't anything special from him.

He had some great music in Jurassic Park 3.I at least hope that Michael Giacchino's score is better this time and isn't bland and forgettable like it was in Fallen Kingdom.

I agree wholeheartedly. They illicit no emotion, no attachment from me. While ths JP Trilogy really connected with me.

Sorna was mentioned in Fallen Kingdom, which is ironic. The whole Fallen Kingdom premise was “Save The Dinos.” Uh there is an entire other island with dinosaurs.

I'll admit this trailer has gotten me a little more excited for the film. It's still probably going to be trash but maybe it will be enjoyable trash.
Honestly, the OG cast from the original Jurassic Park being in this film just gives me hope this might be a good film.
But I’ll probably have to wait a few more months before Universal shows what role they have in this movie, since I don’t want to get my hopes high yet.

Them too. I say get everyone back (who wasn’t eaten). ;)

Is it bad to say that the CG in the Walking with Dinosaurs movie looks a lot better than the CG in these films?
Do you think its laziness? That artists and animators no longer put the attention to detail in anymore? Or is it money based, the movie companies want to save money by not spending more on detailed designs and blending with real world environments? Or is there another factor?
I think I might have a little insight to this!
You're definitely on the right track, the reason being money based, but – as it is always with Hollywood – it goes a bit deeper than that. To put it short, it's because CGI studios haven't unionized.
Practical effects in the movie industry became obsolete in a short period of time, considering how popular they were (King Kong, E.T, Die Hard, you name it), and I kinda hate to admit it, but Jurassic Park had a big influence on this. The CGI in it was something that nobody had seen before, and it truly showed the full potential of what CGI could accomplish (at that time, nevertheless). While the practical effects in the movie were stupendous, it was the CGI that made it a box-office hit. Not the sick Triceratops or the Dilophosaurus in the car, but the Brachiosaurus towering over the humans like an edifice, and the iconic sideview mirror shot of the T-Rex chasing the main characters. Those scenes were some of the reasons what made Jurassic Park a milestone in the history of cinema.
CGI is faster and cheaper than practical effects (but not necessarily easier), and when Hollywood saw what kind of movies you could do with CGI, it was a no-brainer for them to go with the cheaper option. But, it's not just because it's cheaper – it's because there is no union to protect the workers in CGI Studios. What this means is that the competition in the industry is staggering (everyone wants to get to big projects like Jurassic World etc.), the CGI animators have to work crunch time/forced overtime because there is no proper regulation for their work hours, safety or payment.
One nasty example is the Sonic movie redesign. Before the movie was released, the first trailer had a very negative response from the audience – everyone criticized how Sonic looked, and I agree, it was pretty horrible. So, after the initial response they changed the design, and it meant that all the scenes with Sonic's old design had to be done over again. It took five months to finish, raised the budget another $5 million, and after the redesign got a positive reaction (and the movie was another blockbuster) the CGI company branch that was responsible for it, got shut down. CGI takes a lot of time to look good, and while I think Sonic looks okay, it was really unfair on the workers. Same with the new Cats musical. People blame the CGI studio employees when it is not their fault. If you don't have the time and resources (and a healthy work environment) to do your work right, of course it's gonna be a mess.
And here's where "Do you think it's laziness? That artists and animators no longer put the attention to detail anymore?" comes in. It's not that they don't want to put attention to detail, it's because they have to cut corners to get as much done as fast as they can, as cheap as they can. Big studios don't really care if a dinosaur is anatomically correct, or has the right amount of teeth, or if they have feathers or scales or what. They want them to be marketable and make a profit. And when big companies don't care about the craftmanship and artistry, it makes CGI artists more or less cynical. CGI studios are easily exploited, and especially with Disney buying and destroying other studios it makes working in the industry very, very hard.
So I would say that yes, it's money related, but because of that, the people working on the Jurassic World CGI can't live up to their full potential.
Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to seeing Dominion. Personally I can't imagine it being worse than The Fallen Kingdom, but my hopes aren't too high. At least I'm going to see dinosaurs other than raptors and t-rexes :')

Very good points, Jurassic Park is the guikty culprit that made CGi the go to for creature films. However, I personally believe it was pratical shots combined with CGI that mde Jurassic Park a masterpiece. The close up for animatronics, and they have held up well, while some of CG is now dated. The fact people were in Raptor suites, giving them personalities and life made it more believable, and terrifying. The CG helped as you said for the full body shots, but without the animatronics I think the movie would look very dated. Alien is another good example, most of it was practical effects and it has held up well.

I didn't at any point say that the practical effects had no influence on JP's popularity. I agree with you that it's the CGI + practical effects combination that made it such a huge success (especially when they used CGI in parts that they couldn't do practically), and I firmly believe that it would've been a box office hit even without all the CGI. Personally I prefer practical effects because - as you said it - they are more believable. You can't fake real, y'know? But my point was that "Jurassic Park used amazing CGI that hadn't been seen before in the mid-90's + Jurassic Park was a box office hit and made a lot of money = Hollywood saw that with proper CGI you can make a lot of money = CGI took over practical effects." I'm not solely blaming JP on this but you get my point :DD
To be fair, I know that Universal has the money to hire practical effects studios to make amazing animatronics and use CGI in places where it's absolutely necessary, but because it takes longer to produce and excecute than CGI, it won't happen. I think it worked for the first trilogy and films such as Alien vs Predator (I know the movie is kinda meh, but it had a cool combination of practical effects and CGI, and this is the hill I'm going to die on xD)

A worthy hill to die on. I just saw Carpenter’s The Thing 1982 for the first time and those practical effects haunt me! They were superb and stomach wrenching!
I agree CG is easier, but I prefer Practical effects with some CG.

The Dilophosaurus. Also the Pyroraptor animatronic was recently shown on a magazine and it doesn't look very realistic.
Yeah the Pyroraptor looks well.. like a suite for an actor.

I gotta say I see why Universal refrained from the bird like Velociraptor design till now, it looks to quote a kid from JP, “That doesn't look very scary. More like a six-foot turkey.”

I am really dreading their explanation of how Blue managed to have a baby.
I suspect we will see the villian, the Feather Raptor say to Blue’s Baby, “I am your father.” Ugh. Or it will be that Blue reproduced Asexually, because she is the supreme raptor! Dr. Henry Wu created a pure bloodline that can reproduce itself! :thudLOL
Honestly, I preferred when the Velociraptors (really Utahraptors and Deinonychus) were the antagonists. Going Terminator 2 and making them giod removes a lot of suspense.

Good point. The dinos in this are from Isla Nublar, not Isla Sorna. So yes they have that frog mutant DNA.
Post by: LittleDas75 on April 21, 2022, 07:51:44 PM
But don't they need another member of their species to re-produce. As far as I know Blue is the only adult Velociraptor in the canon at this point. Unless one of the other 2 Raptors in this film is the father which I don't even want to think about :doofahCringe.Quote from: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on April 21, 2022, 04:50:28 PM

Yep.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was The Lost World, hunters and dinos on the mainland.
Jurassic World: Dominion will just be Jurassic Park III.

From what I have heard so far this film is The Rise of Skywalker of the Jurassic Park/World franchise.
I can't say anything about the Star Wars comparison, but I can at least confirm that it's not very good (to be as polite as humanly possible).

*Eyes up Jurassic Galaxy* ...No, not like that.
I'm still planning on seeing it maybe next week, but I'll keep my expectations low. Saying that, just had a look at audience reviews and they seem more positive, so who knows? I tend to enjoy some things other people hate so I may enjoy parts of it yet.

I didn't think it was slow paced at all, but maybe that's just me. But what bothered me was the amount of pointless scenes that just added to the length of the movie and not to the story/plot. I think it was 45 minutes too long but it wasn't as painful to me as sitting through The Fallen Kingdom.
And now onto some spoilers...
. I just felt like Claire was stripped from her agency and the plot would not suffer much if she was cut from the movie altogether. I wish they had done more with her...Post by: LittleDas75 on June 11, 2022, 01:20:50 PM

I will say that it did feel really disjointed and it felt like the film didn't know what the focus on, and then ended up focusing on everything except the thing it should have; having people deal with dinosaurs in the world.
There were some parts I enjoyed (dinosaurs causing carnage never fails to entertain me), and seeing the original cast from the first JP was nice. But it also felt really safe and predictable. That and there were quite a few concepts in there that I feel really could have been expanded on instead of dragging out some other scenes (there was one chase scene in particular that just went on for so long, and as for the Maisie plotline :rolleyes). On one hand I kind of enjoyed pointing out all of the nostalgic references but on the other I wished they had focused less on that and more on writing a good, engaging story.
I mean at the end of the day I enjoyed it more than Fallen Kingdom which was what I was looking for. But still a lot of wasted potential.

The Locus subplot was actually well done and feels timely with the food shortages today.
I loved the interactions between the JP Legacy characters and JW main characters.
Owen: I am big fan, I read your book.
Alan: Owen, I have heard of you! Yoy trained raptors!
Owen: I tried.
I really think the negative reviews were overly critical. Its very different paced fiom from JW and JW Fallen Kingdom. And yes there is a ton of awesome terrible lizards (dinosaurs).
There is even the return of.. “well thay would be telling.” :)
You can rent or buy Jurassic World Dominion on Amazon Early Release.
