JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION

[GojiraGuy1954]

Trailer just dropped:

Just a few questions/comments:
-I'm glad there doesn't seem to be a blue filter like in JW & JWFK (which is probably partly why it doesn't look too bad).
-I would've liked it better if they didn't combine 2 very different Hammond speeches (I.e. "Creation is an act of sheer will" & "Life will find a way"). Maybe it'll make sense in the movie, but as is, not so much.
-It already looked silly w/just Blue (I.e. A relatively small yet naked endotherm) running around in a snowy environment, even more so now that she has an even smaller yet still naked baby.
-When Sattler visits Grant, what species is that background skeleton from? I was originally thinking some kind of basal theropod bc of its overall shape & 4-fingered hands, but the skull looks more ornithischian (I.e. Beaked w/no antorbital fenestrae).
-Is it just me, or does Wu's new hair do make him look like Richard Dawkins? If that's the intention, it's very fitting.
-It's too bad they made the Pyroraptor's head so needlessly ugly, especially compared to the early concept art:

That design is abolsolutely disgusting

That design is abolsolutely disgusting

I respectfully disagree. Regardless, my original point stands: The final version's head is very needlessly ugly, especially compared to the early version's head.

How do you know?  As stated before, that design is not official concept art.

I am really excited about this movie and the change in how people view dinosaurs to come! The Pyroraptor is a huge step forward, as is the pterosaur designs. I just hope it isn't all "eheheh evil big pterosaur attacks plane and eats people" 
I hope they don't kill off Grant or anyone like that!

Another thing; How does Blue have a baby? Where did these new 'raptor' species come from?
In the trailer, if I am honest, the CGI for the apatosaurus was not great 
But that has been a problem with me for a while, I can't seem to be able to watch these movies anymore without feeling like it is all fake
I don't have the same excitement
Does anyone have something to hype me up?

[bone crusher]

Anyone wanna guess what's gonna happen right after when both Alan and Owen said Don't Move?
I mean the whole gang is pinned to a corner, with no weapons, seemingly no human rescue in sight, what's a group of 5 puny human gonna do against a huge Giganotosaurus ? I'm pretty sure not moving would back fire them this time due to how sweaty they are and Giga could certainly smell them.

Trailers usually have low quality compared to the actual finalized film.
Yeah I can agree with the lack of realism compared to the OG films. Lack of animatronics does show its inevitable downfall to realism that their original counterparts had to really captivate that realism with the audiance. Although I do have to say, the amount of detail packed into the CGI amazes me, even if it does give a not really there kind of vibe.

[JPuggy]

Big news everyone! Biosyn has been confirmed through a lego set. I'm hoping that the main gang all thinks that Biosyn are the good guys, but then find out about them hiring nedry in 1993. I feel like that would be a good plot twist for the characters

Not sure where this pic came from, but it's an animatronic.

Wish it was more faithful to the SWS one, but that's really an issue with the head sculpt and coloration, more so then the body from the looks of it. Body is pretty close. Almost looks like a mashup between the FK statue, and the SWS one honestly. Could work as a male because of the brighter coloration on the head, but probably just yet another redesign for no reason, like what happened to the Brachiosaurus in FK.

The photo comes from David Kowalski on Twitter, who's apparently a science/paleo journalist.

Well, since it's in the trailer, I can finally share this! Been sitting on this for SO LONG.

I think it looks pretty good, but I also think it would have been a nice opportunity to revise the basic design at least a LITTLE bit.

[HD-man]

As stated before, that design is not official concept art.

Official or not, it's clearly labeled "early version", which is clearly why I'm now referring to it as the "early version".

I feel the same way about that shot of the Pyroraptor's feet at 1:48 of the trailer.

I'm glad you mentioned that bc Alteori makes a good point about the trailer Dilophosaurus looking off compared to the JP Dilophosaurus at ~16:30 of her video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqZlEWqTTT8&t=710s

[Duna]

For all us who know about reptiles it's quite easy to see that Blue's baby is an exact clone of her. If you look closely, she is not another velociraptor, she has the same colours as her because she is a clone. And yes, it has to be a "she", because all partenogenetic reptiles are female. They will probably explain it saying that she has monitor lizard genes in her DNA (Komodo dragon females have reproduced via parthenogenesis in zoos, it has been worldwide shocking news recently and probably they picked the idea up for the movie).

The scenes, ok, the parasaurolophus on the snow are the best. I don't like that street chase, are those killing programmed robots with the target set and endless battery or just animals?
We all know what will happen with the giganotosaurus, so no surprise ... but wow, that therizinosaurus! That beak! That scene has surprised me a lot, very original.  I want to see more of it!

[Rexy]

Can't wait to see this! Love the Therizinosaurus and Pyroraptor. It's good to see some new dinos that haven't been in any of the other movies.

[Takama]

Yeah

Speckles the Tarbosaurus alredy claimed therizino first

[bone crusher]

So according to the Chinese site the Mattel toys leak has info saying both these two toys have almost exactly the same dimensions with Giga being a smidgen longer 55.8cm vs 56cm. I did some Shop and it looks like Rexy can definitely take this one if the movie reflects this comparison.

I think Rexy meant "any of the other [JP/JW] movies."

If I'm completely honest it looks pretty bad. The heads all over sized and all sorts of wonky. And judging by the trailer it has almost no facial expressions. If it was between this soulless piece of rubber and CGI, I'd take the CGI any day.

[BlueKrono]

The head doesn't look oversized to me. From that angle what you're looking at is foreshortening. I don't remember much facial expression either in the original. The "life" the creature had was mostly pulled off by its quirky and naturalistic  movements.

Exactly.  We've seen it for what 3 seconds?   The design is going to be a bit different as its different artists, materials, ect..  its also possible they will just cg over it like with the indoraptor?

[Faelrin]

@Fembrogon Thanks for sharing the original source. He also posted a render of the Pyroraptor as well. Thing is just so beautiful. Can't be more pleased, and am so ready for the merch that will drop.
