This week's video is sponsored by Acorns, the money app that makes it simple and cheap to make small yet significant investments.
Okay, well, are you ready to begin?
Now.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, well, Tara and I have completed the Jurassic Park franchise, and then we wait for Jurassic World Rebirth to come out.
Yay!
Can't wait to watch that.
Me too.
I'm excited.
So please leave a like on this video that would mean the world.
And don't forget to, come on, Tara, put that goddamn water bottle down.
Ring the bell.
Ring the bell.
And of course, Prepper.
Appreciate you today on these highlights.
We want to kick this off of reading some questions from our royal rejects.
Our patrons here, we put out our shooting schedule so they get a chance to be a part of the video with us.
Pretty cool.
Okay.
The first question.
We got Allie.
Dominion gets so much flack.
Does it?
I can't see why.
As a person who is unashamed in their love for callbacks and love letters to the originals,
I love what Dominion did with giving so much love to the original movie.
So on that note, did you notice the leader of Bison is the same guy from Jurassic Park
who bought the ever.
embryos from Nedry Dodd.
Okay, so it was the same guy.
It took me forever to piece.
I just kept hearing the name Dodson.
I was like, why does this Dodson name sounds so familiar?
Oh.
That's why he was killed in the exact same way as Nedgery, Karma came calling.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
That makes sense.
That makes sense.
No, I don't mind the callbacks in this one.
I think they gave it a little bit of life.
I could see how people like hate it because it feels like,
baity i'd be upset if the whole movie was that if it was like that's all it relied on from beginning
to end but it was this movie's almost two and a half hours and it's like they they reserve most
of their callbacks and nods outside of this like some stuff they're tying together to make
it full circle but the times when they're being the most direct is when the legacy characters
merge with the new characters for like the last half hours and they start becoming a little bit more
heavy on the nostalgia and love letters right um so yeah i'm not i wasn't peeved by it at all actually
in this one i was like oh thank you this is fun i just wanted to have fun and that provided fun
in times when uh i thought there were plot points here that were kind of dull
and boring needless to say how do you feel about the locus part i loved it i mean the barbersole cans
and I love that thing that obviously he died like Nedri.
I'm like, oh, right, awesome.
I think that's a lot of fun.
But I think mostly what I just liked is having the OG characters
and them do similar things throughout this movie,
which is nice little callbacks, which I'm like, yeah,
I appreciated every part because there is, I mean,
I still had a lot of fun, but there is some stuff
where it's like, why are we kind of taking so long?
in this like in this locust bias in arena which is where our three OG characters are
seem to be somewhat trapped but at the end I thought that they put it together nicely so I'd
like to see like where that all ends up and I do like because you said P.S. How about Allen and
Ellie finally getting together and yeah that's like finally dude finally. Yeah that's what
real finally we have been waiting because after Jurassic Park three when they weren't together i i hate that
sequel bullshit when they do that and they gave us something truly good here with yeah that final moment
that final moment where they do kiss and stuff that made me happy they absolutely should be together
i agree with that i was like hell yeah and i'm really glad that they save the kiss for not like a
corny moment when you saves her and he's like you okay and then he kisses her because we know we've seen
those movies and I'm like not believable we're in trouble right now and I love that they
saved it for the end which I think is more of a rom-com smarter writing sure sure sure sure sure
sure next up we got pevel catch maharic of all the crappy parts of this movie which you think
was the crappiest ideas of dinosaurs spread all over the world completely about my
god you're getting into all the goods thank you least threatening villain ever um every goon
the villain sent showed up for one scene screwed up never to be seen again oh my god you're right
bring back sam neil to just have awkwardly run around the facility yes um okay i'll say it's one at a time
that's the most upsetting part to me the movie end
of a Fallen Kingdom
with the setup for Dominion.
Yeah.
Then this movie picks up following that setup
where you're like the world has changed.
And in like 25 minutes.
I thought they were going to bring it back
when they're wherever they are in the...
Bison?
No, no, no.
The bike chasing.
The one like really great sequence
that we love with the bike chase
and the rappers are.
were facing Chris Pratt on the bike.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
They were, like, in Italy or something.
Some, something like that.
Because, yeah, they started seeing some of the parts of the society or the underground
where they're doing black market shit.
So that part, I thought they would bring it back a little bit.
And then they have, like, the laser thing.
So, yeah, I thought they might, okay.
First, I'm like, I guess they abandoned this thing they set up really well.
Oh, maybe they're bringing it back.
And then, no, they didn't really bring it back.
not at all um i think that is absolutely the most disappointing part especially for a movie called
Jurassic world dominion that sounds like we're going to be getting a movie you just saw the 28 days
later movie right yeah you know like 28 weeks later follows that up with like here's how society
has changed yes i thought that's like that's what they set up here is right let's see let's create a plot that
involves us exploring that in some way come up with something there but instead they gave us
locusts and go into some other facility on some jungle land again yeah they did right we didn't
stay in society for very long not at all we don't really get to live in the world or live with how
the world is affected by this we don't it's and uh i think that completely undermines the
experience with such a great setup it's an amazing setup yeah um
We'll take us one at a time.
What's your thought on that part?
I mean,
I, here's one thing.
When you were saying callbacks,
I was like, dude, remember the knife thing.
Why don't we bring that back?
Yeah.
Why did we,
why was that so specific?
That could be such a character building thing.
They could have used that when they were stabbing the big dino.
Yeah.
Gigantic gonorrhoosaurus or whatever was called.
Absolutely.
I mean, in the times,
because they're going for a lot of sentiment here with the callbacks
and the barbers all can.
and, you know, the old school stuff.
And when they're like, we're going to triangulate.
And it's like the old meets the new versus like the daughter.
And she's learned from dad because she says, eyes on me.
I just thought, like, why are we adding these things in?
Then we didn't get a callback to it.
It just could have been, it could have added a lot more on top of it.
I just think that was a very big missed opportunity.
But I also think with the laser thing, okay, we've set that up.
But from the one before, the laser kills people.
She's doing that.
I thought that maybe our characters, because we know that, would take from that.
And if we have a laser, can we use that for us with the bad dinosaurs?
But it sort of was just in the city, it was happening, lasers, and then we got out of it.
And we didn't come back to it, which is, it's okay.
But again, I'm a little curious why we took us out of society so quickly and went back to another
a park-like thing.
Like, where are these dinosaurs are being held?
It's absolutely going to go to shreds.
And now we have to, like, find a way to get out.
Yeah.
You know, and that's just very old school.
And I don't know if it's a little bit feels like somebody came in and went, well, that's
kind of the same story.
Add the locusts in here and they're killing the farm that we find out he did the
do the add it like a little bit feels that way just because it's a little bit the same i agree
least threatening villain ever truthfully i'm not bothered i don't feel like any villain in any
of these movies is good yeah they're they're they're not very threatening when has there been a
threatening villain not really i did i did like how um oh what's the the the computer guy
No, like the black turtleneck and the white hair.
He was like modeled after that guy, the computer guy.
Ted, the rich guy.
You guys know what I'm saying?
You're all yelling.
You mean the main villain?
Yeah, the white-haired guy.
Yeah, the main villain, yeah.
Yeah, but he's modeled after what's the computer guy?
Steve Jobs?
Thank you.
Did you say that?
And I didn't hear it.
You said Ted.
Yeah, thank you.
Finally.
You couldn't pull.
It was like two.
It was like two minutes of me rambling.
And then he goes, Steve Jobs.
I'm like, well, couldn't you have said that two minutes ago?
Steve Jobs.
I decided really horribly someone can't pull the name.
I couldn't, I couldn't from nowhere.
I was like, you know, that guy.
I do like that it was sort of modeled after him.
I liked the choices he made with his weird cadence and tone.
He talked weird.
I thought he made it more entertaining.
Kind of interesting, the way that he moved.
Instead of just being a normal guy,
because none of them, I agree with you,
are very threatening.
I thought it was interesting.
I thought he did something to,
to make him more appealing to watch when we were watching him like on paper is he thinly ridden
like every villain so far absolutely is he scary absolutely not um is he kind of dumb sure
you know yeah but yeah he did make like character choices and mannerisms that seemed to be like
i am villainous jeff goldblum and that uh i thought that made him like i was actually
entertained when he was speaking i thought he was like an entertaining uh
I think so too yeah and yeah yeah I mean the Jurassic world movies have really taken this approach of of so much emphasis on you know corporate society ruining us like that's what they come about and this is another this doubles this triples out on it now with so much emphasis on trying to like
Now, how do we control the narrative?
How do we use these locust to our advantage for something that I thought was unnecessarily complicated?
So, yeah, I mean, they, I just, I'm just still baffled by how they had a plot set up.
And then they decided to try to attempt some boring ass commentary on something else.
Right.
that was honestly like needlessly complicated and they just should have come up with something else
that ties were into the shit you show up for I agree that's just it that's basically it yeah
this other section every goon the villain sent showed up for one scene screwed up never to be seen
again so much was happening in this movie I didn't even notice I didn't notice either because
we we go from like one and then we go to Italy and then we're gone and then we go to the so now
hot potato a plot absolutely and now i go oh yeah you're right yeah that one what lady with the white
dress and the exotic looking face that's what meant the laser lady the Texas cowboy who kidnaps macy and the and baby
blue yep um and then other people i guess those are the two i'm really recalling other he had the one
guy with the earpiece who was following him around but didn't really do anything oh yeah but yeah i'm not too
bothered by it. Bringing back
Sam Neal just to have him awkward run around the facility
and swoon over Laura Dern.
Okay, that last part I get. Fair enough.
Yeah, yeah. Sam Neal looked
exceptionally bored during this.
It looked really bored. Yeah.
I think when
you bring back
a nostalgic character, an O.G
character, that means
so much to an audience.
You got to give
him something and not
just have it to where he's digging up
dinosaurs in the beginning and they meet in like a tent where it's like number one i don't know
why which is exactly what they did send him around in a building following laura durn's sort
of lead to figure this out i just i'm not sure in looking at the script and thinking about it
why the locus part would really is the really the thing that would get us to where o g meets the new
characters it's such a baffling choice they they give they gave them why was that it the fact that
the true the trio not the sam neal laura dure but jeff goldblum as well exactly and and especially with
the like jeff goldman's cameo in falling kingdom the monologing that he's giving about and it seems
like he's sort of evolved into this jaded philosopher of ethics and that's sort of
of his position in the world.
Right.
And he's talking about how we have to adapt to this new world now, now that it's their world.
It's Jurassic World now.
Yeah.
And now he's just a dude teaching here, uncovering something else.
And they've reverted his character trying to make him feel more akin to how he was in Jurassic Park 1.
Like he feels more akin to how he was in Jurassic Park 1 than Jeff Goldman felt in the lost world.
So, yeah, I think it is.
This is just a strange, strange choice.
I'm like trying to think of it should have just come up with something that's dealing with them of like,
these are the ramifications that we were worried about.
This is the world we live in.
And I feel like they could have found some way to tie it in with like how they're trying to control or weaponize the animals or whatever.
And then they, that causes them to link up with the head of, you know, animal rights activism, Claire.
Right.
There's just something there that just like seems so much more obvious that they could have.
done that i don't know like convoluted does not equal clever and sometimes i think people over
complicate a plot yeah in an attempt to try to make something clever or unexpected and and i just
i think they got caught in this trap of trying to um tie everything together like hey what are some
missing threads from the Jurassic park trilogy and what do we need to wrap up from the last two movies
as well.
Unless the Jesus, Locust plot, I don't keep talking about it.
That's the fucking movie.
It's weird.
Like a lot of this movie is about it.
I know.
And it's not like, because here's a thing, I get that we're talking about DNA, changing
the DNA.
We have a twist that, you know, the mom was pregnant with her and she changed her DNA so
that her daughter wouldn't die.
You know, that's important.
but we don't need even still in that plot point.
We don't need the locust to show us at the end how he's like,
I could say this is what logos.
I chase a DNA and how I know where it's like,
did we really need to see that from our scientist?
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's not like it gave me a lot where I go, wow.
Now I really feel like he's really redeemed himself
because it's tied to such an odd plot.
You don't feel a lot for it.
No, no.
or maybe some of it you liked and think it wasn't crappy at all allow us then I had fun uh yeah I was I was having
I had fun when I was having fun and I was bored when I was bored yeah it wasn't like I had reached
a point where I was bored and checked out and then I waited an hour for the movie to end like it would
it would go in and out where I'm like I am bored during this and I am fascinated by how boring
this choice is that they made and then sometimes even in the facility surprisingly the
macy and clone stuff i actually thought was really interesting oh yeah me too even though it ain't about
dinosaurs it's not what i showed up for with this fucking movie right or the last one i for some reason
thought it and it felt it felt it felt appropriate with the world of Jurassic parks since this is
about cloning dinosaurs and what they could do with the evolution of that and then the tie the
tying of humanity part of the ecosystem how we are all part of one ecosystem
And we have to learn to like cooperate.
So there was something there that I thought was actually interesting.
And what they did with Henry Wu, how he went from Jurassic World One to being just a straight up caricature of a villain.
And then in part two, he's being walked over, stepped over by the corporate guys who want to auction this shit off and they're taking actions and not listening to him.
Right.
And then in three, you see how he's become kind of a scientist slave who's made a lot of mistakes.
and there's so much regret
so out of any character
in the Jurassic World franchise
they surprisingly gave a random
arc to they fucking did
with this guy
and it's like the last thing I expect
for every movie he shows up
and he's giving a different performance
and you're watching an evolution
of this guy going into the most
remorseful state
yeah

Thank you, Acorns, for sponsoring this video and for up in the bank account look a little
bit better. It's almost like they threw the OG characters. They were like, well, we have
to give the scientist. He's got to come back. The Dino DNA guy. Right? And now we have to have
Dr. Malcolm where, of course, he wrote a book. So now he's teaching. And he, we give him the one line.
He's like, well, it was a really cushy, cushy job. Like, that's his vibe from the first one,
which we all missed him anyway.
We like that part of that performance.
And then, of course, it's like the one thought in their head
is just to get, you know, Sam Neal and Lord Dern together
because we're like, why weren't they?
I just, there's a lot of things going on
and it feels like they were really trying to make
and write character development throughout this film
for almost like all of them.
And it was, it's a lot.
There's just, there's a lot going on.
And it's as though we have like eight leads.
Well, not everyone gets full character development.
I like the way they handled the character development for Macy by the end where when she's looking at Claire and Owen, you could see without them saying that she is, she is like, yes, these are my parents.
Yes.
And, you know, when this movie starts off where she is rejecting their control, then you're not the mom and dad, you know.
Yeah.
So I like that moment.
That's the sentiment part.
I was kind of talking.
They get sentimental.
When there was dinosaur stuff happening, it was cool.
Totally.
T-Rex versus the guy,
gotta, got, I got-a-gada, whatever.
Hell, yeah.
I did get a big kick out of watching the new characters merge with the old characters.
That was a really big.
That was fun.
It should have been so much more of the movie.
I agree.
Like when you make the Avengers, you have the Avengers together for most of the movie.
That's what you do, right?
and like if you're going to do if you're if you're if you're embracing this day and age we're in of like hey let's assemble cast together fucking commit to it and do that and that's when the movie became like oh it's back to being entertaining again with with our old characters and and so yeah I like the way they played off of each other and I thought there were a lot of fun moments to be had I love the whole sequence I think my my favorite sequence was the the one in wherever they were in Europe with the chasing and the hot potato of
of hopping around with the dinosaurs and the humans the pacing on that was a lot of fun yeah it was
really well shot really well edited uh choreographed in a really cool way and i and and we've seen
a lot of like these spy specials this movie was going for like espionage and spy thriller uh
which was a very strange choice but they were going for that there's so many of those movies
where you know like indiana jones or mission impossibles or born whatever where they are in the streets
like this and you're being chased on bikes by baddies and instead they replaced that with
raptors and i was like that's pretty cool that's fun yeah so there's a lot of fun stuff there
jeff goldblum i thought was he was absolutely my favorite of the returning uh i thought he was actually
having a lot of fun and um yeah there's like a lot of ideas i thought the first 20 minutes was
really good like the first 20 to 30 minutes was really good i really i really i felt the time and
And I looked at it was one hour in 16 minutes.
And I'm sure that we felt it before.
And I went, oh, God, but this is 220.
And then I think really, could we have cut out a good 30 minutes and then we get to those last 20 minutes?
Yeah.
And I think that that people would have gone freaking Jurassic World Dominion.
Yeah.
Why does it, we do not ever need, I don't think, a Jurassic World.
movie that is more than two hours period especially drastic world i mean come on man it's not we don't need
them running around a facility with locust i'm fine with the spy aspect i love it we're moving we're
grooving we're in the plane there's a lot there's a lot going on and i really love that but then
we're in the facility i think too long where i'm like take the guy down jeff goldblum gets freaking fired
let's freaking let's freaking let's move it i think that's you spent a long a lot of time
there i think that's the saddest part of this experience is i feel like they had a really clear
direction of what they wanted to do with like a chris pratt and uh bryce dallas howard like that
is such a natural progression of a plot that they would they're trying to get their clone back and
everything they're trying to get the baby blue that is a natural progression of what they've been
doing with this and then they probably had some note or someone had the idea the clever idea of
hey why don't we merge the cast and then they had to make up some shit right and that make up some
shit just made the movie drag and uh out of the three movies this was the one where i kept checking
the time i i checked the time i would i for sure would put this as like number three out of the
Jurassic worlds for me i would too because i'm not a big fan of this one yeah because i didn't i did not
check the time in in really in one or two really uh maybe a little bit but i think
the pacing of those two
a lot better. And we didn't
have any needless sort of
let's take an avenue here
so we can show a little bit more about this
character. We didn't need it.
Like the Easter eggs are great
but get to that.
Don't get to the other stuff.
This one lacked focus
and
there's like not really
a clear direction
and style to the movie.
It's so much
of like a splicing of stuff.
whereas like even with falling kingdom as much as that's like a tower one like that one's like the saddest one of the Jurassic world
but it has a point of view but it's yeah it's got a POV it's like it wants to be fucking sad yeah
and it wants to be dark and and they did it they did it whether you like it or not
there at least feels like there's a voice behind the direction here and this one feels like a
manufacturing of ideas and probably some notes the studio gave or some shit like
like that so it feels off but it's not it's but it's not without its moments i like the the ejecting
parachute scene with claire yeah and then when she's like goes into the water like there's some
that's great cool shots a great tracking shot because they kept it on her didn't cut she goes under
and then we see the the dinah right there great shot great shot there's some great shots in here
um but yeah uh let's see you're talking gibberish three do you think around this time
Jurassic World was trying to low-key go against the Star Wars series because I feel like
Dominion feels like Last Jedi. I even believe they did the same things with directors.
Yeah, Colin Traverro direct the third one. And he, so what, what they're saying is like JJ
directed, um, okay, I get what you're saying. J.J. directed Star Wars Force Awakens.
Ryan Johnson did Last Jedi. And then they brought JJ back to wrap it up and to course
correct. And, uh, and it sounds like they did the same thing with Colin Chavaro.
for this one yeah which is ironic because colin chavarro was actually the one attached to direct the third
star wars movie originally really um i don't think they were trying to go against star war series
i think if anything they just suffered the same consequences and same pitfalls that those star war
series ended up um suffering as well so if anything that's just kind of what happened i think
there's an irony but i don't feel like it was an intentional trying to go up against the first one
with the T-Rex and the baby
where it's
what's her nuts, the other redhead.
Oh, the Lost World?
Adri Leanne Moore?
Yes, who directed that?
Spilbert.
Okay, got it.
Yeah, we're in a different category.
Let's just move on.
Pierre the Reject 4.
Hey, I love your name.
What is your favorite Jurassic Park movie so far
easily won?
Yeah, I mean, just to
write the excitement.
Yeah, yeah.
I would go one.
it's might surprise people
I think Jurassic Park 2
has
sequences that completely
outdo sequences
in Jurassic World
but as a movie hole
I would put Jurassic World
as number two for me
yeah because that's the one
where it comes
we first see the
the water dino
yeah that one's like
the park is open
and Dominus Rex
that's another thing
with both of these movies
part two
I thought they did a terrible job
on building up the Indo Raptor.
Terrible job on that.
Yeah.
And then this one, they introduced it so late.
The idea of it, the build, like there's no buildup to it.
The gigantosaurus one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like, oh, we need something, don't we?
We need something, right?
Yeah.
I agree.
Like, even Jurassic Park 3 gets to a new main dinosaur,
the one that kills the T-Rex right away.
I think it's called the Spinosaurus.
Yeah.
And that is like the main scary dinosaur throughout.
So it's like a, I remember.
Dino and then Jurassic World is the Indominious Rex and then this one they do a worse job than
they did with the following kingdom with introduced like I like the fight at the end with the
three I like it I like the sequence when they're all escaping the giga whatever but it would
have been so much more effective if they actually built this thing up instead of a couple of
times mentioning what it is but there's no like oozing presence or atmosphere or
or thoughts percolating about this creature, you know?
There's no build up to it.
It doesn't make it seem spooky or scary or what are we getting to.
We also don't get any, like, fun, intelligent dialogue about it from our OG characters that
may have a thought or two that could be like evolutionary a thought that you go, oh, wow,
that's some cool lines.
That's like a bar right there where they have intelligence about what now the combination of
those genes can now provide us with a.
gigantosaurus or whatever the hell we don't give them that opportunity and that would be where
sam neal and lord durn would come in of right i mean chris pratt and the other fricking girl too
but like you get what i'm saying oh i like the other girl too yeah um so yeah i would go
dress park one Jurassic world Jurassic part two dress part three drastic world Falling kingdom and then
this one at the bottom for sure that this one's for sure at the bottom for me you know I
mean they're a mixture together i'm gonna i he just went through that so fast like i don't whatever i'm
gonna go with one and i really did like the lost world i thought that was really exciting and i
really like the first Jurassic world with the yeah the water one that was blastoroni yeah yeah
it was a phone one that was good and uh a couple of gabriel six he said how do you think you would react
if you found out that you're a clone?
I would try to make love to my original self.
That's what I used to have weird fantasies about that when I was a child.
I'm not even joking.
About you would have sex with your own clone?
Yeah, that was like my idea when I was like before I even really understood the concept of that of like sexuality.
Oh, interesting.
I would think about that if, like, cloning myself and doing stuff to my clone self, I'm very self-absorbed.
Yeah, narcissistic.
It's very narcissistic.
Nothing is more narcissistic than wanting to clone yourself just to do sexual things with it.
You.
We got to cut that off.
God damn.
It's all real bad.
Damn.
Let me mark that in here.
That's all right.
The editors will cut it out.
No, they won't.
They'll know.
No, they won't.
Oh, that's right.
They don't watch the reviews.
No, they don't know.
We could talk all the shit we want on the editors right now.
That's right.
They'll never know.
They'll never know.
They'll never know all this shit talking we do.
No, I'd probably be like, I'd definitely be having an existential crisis about it.
Yeah, that would be weird.
I'd be like, well, what is she like?
Is she freaking cool?
Or like, is she just, she sounds like me, she looks like me.
she walks like me but like is she lame as all get up i gotta figure it out because i can't have
somebody wandering around and meeting people and they're like she's boring as hell and i'm like that's
not me that's my clone yeah i'm like why aren't we working together then if we're if we're like clone
like why am i doing all this work you know why don't we divide it up that's exactly
much bullshit come on now man to hayward five said have you ever watched netflix camp cretaceous
and chaos theory series would you ever do a reaction to those probably not um but i
I have surprisingly heard that those are not bad.
Really?
I haven't seen them, but.
The fan base rallies around those as the best.
I've heard it's brought up several times that it is one of the best things to,
out of this post like Jurassic World era where they brought the franchise back,
apparently these two things have been one of the surprisingly enjoyable factors of the Jurassic World stuff.
Wait, okay.
Is the Netflix camp Cretaceous?
It's like, oh, it's a kid's thing?
Okay, I'm imagining like a trailer.
There's a trailer and they're at a park and there's a dinosaur and another dinosaur.
Or was that just a short film that was in the Jurassic world?
Oh, wait, I think I'm talking about it.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they made like a short film.
They did and I watched that and that was good and I don't know what that was called.
I'm pretty sure they made that to promote this one.
I think they made it to promote Jurassic World Dominion.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
That was very cool.
No, I have not watched this.
I'm not going to lie.
I am judging a book by its cover.
Just these animation stills do not look appealing to me.
I'm judging a book by its cover.
I'm sure it's actually enjoyable.
General Ortega is one of the main voices in it.
That's cool.
Okay.
And then chaos theory.
Does the animation look any different?
Three seasons.
Nope.
No, it looks like a continuation.
What is this show about?
Damn.
