1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Break the flick with ben o'she on ninety six AM. 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: Good morning, I'm excited to be talking about Jurassic World, dominion, 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 1: huge blockbuster, one of the most anticipated films of the year, 4 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,799 Speaker 1: and mostly by the cinema industry because the Jurassic Park 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: franchise has made a mozza over the years, like well 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: over ten billion dollars. And so nineteen ninety three was 7 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: when Steven Spielberg released the original Jurassic Park with Sam 8 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: Neil and Laura Derton in Goldblum and Richard Attenborough as 9 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: John Hammond, the guy who got the dinosaur blood out 10 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: of the mosquito in the amber and dinosaurs and it's 11 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's you know, life finds away, right, And 12 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: that film I think was, you know, it was a classic, 13 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: a cinema, a somatic classic. That moment where they kind 14 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: of come over the hill and the jeeps and they 15 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: see the dinosaurs for the first time strolling across the plains. Yeah, yeah, 16 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: John Willis, the John Willims score like it's bona fide 17 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: classes a change. It wasn't it absolute game changer And 18 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: people who work in the filmmaking industry say that was 19 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: like a watershed moment for the industry in terms of 20 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: special effects, in terms of storytelling. But after that, you know, 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: Jurassic Park two not as good, Jurassic Park three, complete 22 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: and complete stinking franchise, and then fourteen years of nothing 23 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: right then. And then Colin trevorro the director, came along 24 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen with Jurassic World, a reboot starring Chris 25 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: Pratt as a sort of a US Navy veteran who 26 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: now trains velociraptors, which didn't make a lot of sense, 27 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: and Bryce Dallas Howard as the park manager of a 28 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: new kind of Jurassic Park theme park called Jurassic World. 29 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: And it's basically a repeat of what happened in the original. 30 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: You know, everyone has these great intentions to have a 31 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: theme park. This time it's an operational theme park. But 32 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: of course, you know, dinosaurs can't really be controlled whole 33 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: that whole kind of cautionary tale about our kind of 34 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: ambition and technology running away with ourselves. They can't ever think. 35 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,279 Speaker 1: But it was. But it did an insane amount of money, 36 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: like one so what was it in the Australian dollars 37 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: over two billion dollars, good enough at the time for 38 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: third all time in the history of cinema, and then 39 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: and then I think it's currently sitting at about seventh 40 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: or something, which is still amazing. And so they obviously thought, 41 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: here we go, we've caught lightning in a bottle again. 42 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: Let's make another trilogy of Jurassic Park movies. The second one, 43 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: Fallen Kingdom, was real bad, like because it's both all 44 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: the Jurassic World movies are built around this idea that 45 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: the villain of the piece wants to have dinosaurs as 46 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: weapons to use in like kind of a military style attacks, 47 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: which kind of doesn't make a lot of sense to 48 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: use a dinosaur as a military weapon because like in 49 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: you know, the earlier Jurassic Park movies, dinosaurs could be 50 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: complete defeated by like a kid who's pretty good at gymnastics, 51 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: you'd like swing around on a water pipe and kick 52 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: a velocirator. So you know, I don't know how well 53 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: a velociraptor is going to go against a tank like 54 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: an FA teen, So you know, it doesn't really make 55 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. And so the third film comes 56 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: along and Colin trevorro is back directing it again. Chris 57 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: Pratt is back, Bryce Dallas Howard is back. But the 58 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: main thing is the ogs from the first movie back, 59 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: So in Goldblum, Jeff go Blum, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neil, 60 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: and Laura Dern back in the original characters. They get 61 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: kind of drawn into a story about you know, you've 62 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: got another billionaire who's trying to harness kind of dinosaur 63 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: DNA for his own purposes. But you've got this reality 64 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: where now dinosaurs live among us. So they're not stuck 65 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: on an island in South America. They're not in a 66 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: theme park. They're just like wandering around. They're in Wyoming, 67 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: they're in extreme the city. Yeah they look like dinosaurs. Yeah, 68 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: they're still like dinosaurs. They're not hiding, and they're kind 69 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: of trying to coexist. So man and the ecosystem is 70 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: trying to coexist with dinosaurs that have been extinct for 71 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: sixty five million years. It's obviously not super successful, and 72 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who get stomped and chomped 73 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: and digested and come out the other end. That's the thing, right, 74 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: So there's there is some nice moments where you see 75 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: these interactions between you know, like, I don't know iguana, 76 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: Don's running around a plane with some wild mustangs. But 77 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: you know, again, it's this idea that you know, you 78 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: can use dinosaurs as weapons. It's kind of at the 79 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: heart of the film, which just does not make a 80 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: lot of sense. And so you find that Chris Pratt 81 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: and Bryce Dallas Howard and sometimes the film seems more 82 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: like a Born movie or a Bond movie, which is 83 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: kind of so far away from, you know, the idea 84 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: of what Jurassic Park was. That it's kind of a bit, 85 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: you know, it's a bit off putting, and and they're 86 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: kind of fighting against these dinosaurs that you shine a 87 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: laser on the person that you want the dinosaur to kill, 88 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: and then the dinosaur will go and kill it, right 89 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: like these these new types of raptors. But if you're 90 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: shining a laser at the person you want to kill, 91 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: why won't you just point a gun at them? If 92 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: you can hit them with a laser, you can hit 93 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: them with you shoot them middle So it seems it 94 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: seems unnecessary to then chase have a dinosaur chase after them. 95 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: But yeah, so there's some kind of major plot in 96 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: how this unfolds. But in saying that that's ridiculous, they 97 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: jumped the dinosaurs. Yeah, but the same reason that the 98 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: original Jurassic Park movie was so cool still applies here. 99 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: Dinosaurs are just awesome, and the special effects and they 100 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: use a lot of throwback animatronics, so it's really quite realistic. 101 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: And the new dinosaur species that they've brought in, like 102 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: that they've discovered in the last fourteen years are amazing, 103 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: Like some really really cool sequences. Bryce Dallas Howard in particular, 104 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: is in a couple of really awesome scenes that you 105 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: know will remind you of the first movie, just you know, 106 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: like the kind of like real tense, hectic kind of 107 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: dinosaurs scenes, which is just amazing to watch, so visually spectacular, 108 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: some good performances from Bryce Dallas Howard and the original 109 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: cast members. Is it just a yeah, I reckon, you know, 110 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: they get a good they got a good amount of 111 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: screen time, and they're and they're a big part of 112 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: the plot and that's kind of fun as well. Like 113 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: Jeff Goldblummer is just awesome, Like it just just great. 114 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: I love Jeff co But yeah, it's you know, ultimately 115 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: it doesn't live up to the original, but you know 116 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: that's never basically impossible. So how many you know the 117 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: guy who broke the original test tube is going to 118 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: get eaten? Are you giving it? It's one old Dennis, 119 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: remember the old Denna Newman from signed a little can 120 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: of shaving foam full of I don't know what dinosaur 121 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: because on the logobod, Hello Newman, I'm going to get 122 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to give it two and a half because 123 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: because I just love dinosaurs. All right, So it's not 124 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: going to combat the big bucks of Maverick on the 125 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: big screen. It'll do good business, okay, alright, low expectations, 126 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: all right, that's what I thought. Absolutely. Sometimes you just 127 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: can't keep bringing these things back. The story has been told, 128 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: it's done, Yes, all right, Thanks those guys.
