JURASSIC PARK 3 Trailer description

Published at:  May 03, 2001 3:37:23 AM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here.... Yesterday i was so caught up with the excitement of liking THE MUMMY RETURNS, that it completely slipped my mind that I had seen the JURASSIC PARK 3 trailer... It isn't a bad trailer... in fact at the time I saw it... I was saying under my breath, "Put this movie on NOW!" as I had no concept that MUMMY RETURNS was going to be as fun as it was. And afterwards, all I had on my mind was... MUMMYMUMMYMUMMYMUMMY.... so I wasn't even thinking straight... (Yes, I do act like a two year old at 5:1 scale) I like the cut of the trailer... the way it moves... the way it sets up characters and gives me the impression that this film is about survival.... BUT it didn't kick my ass. There were no great DINO shots that blew me away. Is it that moving dinosaurs no longer impress me? NO, that PBS BBC thing... WALKING WITH DINOSAURS kicked my ass like Matilda with the six inch high heels... All I can guess is that Spielberg or Johnston or Kennedy or someone creative didn't want to do a big Dino scene... only flashes... to tease us in... BECAUSE there is no way that the marketing department that cut the second trailer (FAST AND THE FURIOUS) cut the 1st trailer... The would have at least shown us that dactyl swooping down at us... I mean, according to Kathleen Kennedy, there are more cg dino shots in this film than in both JP1 and JP2 put together.... so they have shots... just not that they feel like showing us. We'll see soon enough... just a couple of months...




Hey not really news and I have no idea if the Teaser is on the net yet but: I went to see "Mummy Returns" and got a look at the new "Jurassic Park 3" trailer. Now for a scene by scene breakdown, I can't help you (Kill me! I'm Slow) Photographic Memory ain't my bag, but here's the "Feel" of the thang!

William H. Macy ask Sam Neil if he would like to visit Isla Sorna/Dino Island, of course if he (Neil) agrees, Macy will make sure he's compensated for his time through a generous donation.

Well cut to a plane with Macy, Tea Leoni, and Neil and some other people, the pilot says that they have found a place to land, Neil starts to freak out saying that "We can't land on the island" Macy assures Neil that "It's OK"

From there it was a bunch of cut's, from what I could make out, a Gigantic "Tail" hit the plane. Whoops! Who would have thought?

Footprint in the mud sound familiar? Well it's back, only this time they declare that it's not a T-Rex track, "It's Something Larger that a T-Rex"

Baby Dinosaurs suspended in liquid sound familiar? Yeah, didnt think so! Think Aliens meets the Matrix with a Dino twist. Seeing the Baby Dino's hooked up to wires in these Jars-O Liquid Tea Leoni ask "So this is how you make a Dinosaur?" Neil replies "No, this is how you play God"

Raptors you say? How about what seems to be Raptors that can "Communicate" according to Tea. Raptors that have funky head gear? Raptors that are supersmart? Get the picture?

Now enter the running and screaming shot's of the "Humans". "Humans" in a cage being submerged in water, a quick shot of the "Humans" out in a field of Unspecified Dinosaurs, Raptors Jumping, Raptors making their pupils contract into the camera, Raptors stepping on people. Sam Neil, any thoughts on these event? "Well, were not going to get out of here alive"-Neil

Cut to a Water Dino. You know like Loch Ness, only not.

To end, from the look's of things they should have stopped at 2, but no, 3 we will see. Maybe it was just me to hyped for "Mummy Returns" to care about this Trailer. The details are fuzzy, but you'll see it for yourself this weekend.

Last words? Sure........ Sam Neil remarks to Tea:"It looks like some kind of bird cage"> queue "Large Swooping Flying Creature Sounds" from rear speakers

    The worm is the spice

    by olestraman

    Maybe the odd numbered ones rule, and the even numbered ones suck. Let's hope, although my light has dimmed since I read that Macy called it a "$100 million ship without a rudder." Eep. Well, at least it's not "as boring as a dog's ass."

    Really worried about this film

    by bigdaddymars77

    I really hope this film is going to rock, because I can't handle another disappointment after seeing that piece-o-crap Lost World....and the fact that this one is minus Ian Malcolm makes me even more nervous. I really hope this rock...if not, there's alwasy LOTR to look forward to

    I weep

    by juggernaut125

    I weep for the fate that has befallen The land of the lost. If this description is at all accurate, then this movie sounds like a horrid piece of tripe. Raptors in headsets communicating. Rehashing of scenes from both of the previous JP flicks. It is time to lower my head and shake it slowly with my eyes closed for the unfortunate debacle that this series has become.

    "Something larger than a T-Rex"??

    by hypnotoad

    Does Harry go uncredited for this special appearance? Seriously, I hope this is better than the last one. JP2 wasn't really all that great, but then neither was the novel it was based on. As for TheEdge's comments about living in DC, all I can say is amen. The mayor is more of a f*ck up than John Hammond (the guy who created Jurassic Park).

    Its all going horribly wrong.

    by docbrown

    I have to agree with the tone of this talkback, especially with Juggernaut. Jurassic Park remains one of my favourite movies of all time, its not the greatest, but I love it, I just wish I had been able to see it aged six. Lost World was great right up to the totally stupid Godzilla ending. I will go to see JP3 of course, as I have been a Dinosaur fan for the whole of my living memory. I knew the difference between a Stegosaurus and a Triceratops before I was in Primary School, but my heart is saddened at the thought JP3 being just a chase and slash movie. JP 1&2 both had a sense of wonder in them admittedly lack of respect = raptor food, but they both paid tribute to the greatest animals in creation. They were not monster movies and if this one is then I will hate it, "Aliens" is a great movie about monsters killing people, so is "The Thing" JP1&2 were about more than that. Maybe I'll just have to stick to Walking with Dinosaurs, which if you haven't seen, go and buy it on DVD right now.

    Sounds amazing - Harry how could you have forgotten about this?

    by hedley lamarr

    I must say, though, that I'm a bit confused by the sudden reverential tone of the Talk Backers. It seems that Jurassic Park 3 has gotten nothing but bad vibes by everyone here because the last impression of The Lost World was the Mary Lou Retton girl. So from the sounds of the trailer it seems like Steven and Joe have tried to avoid something that will make out teeth rot out, but will make our asses blow off. Eh, scrap that last part (that's the Taco Bell talking). Anyway it seems like this will be something a little darker, a little more intense, and a lot more entertaining. Thank god for that. I loved Walking with Dinosaurs - it was a really clever documentary. I also liked it when Geraldo went into Al Capone's vault, but that doesn't take anything away from Untouchables. Well, my war is my own... this sounds like it's going to be amazing and I'll be there to see it this weekend. Anyone know if it'll be posted online?

    Jurassic Park 3? It sounds like Deep Blue Sea 2!!!

    by cifra2

    Raptors that think? The sharks were clever in Deep Blue Sea... JP3 looks like a rip-off of every monster movie that works! That's why Spielberg is not directing.

    by glynyfaron

    Chances are this film will be better than the lost world. Mind you, scrotal death would be better than the lost world.

    JP3 Synopsis (*SPOILER!*)

    by polymorphic

    People travel to island...again...for some reason. The minor characters die, including one major character you don't expect. The scientists find the dinos are smarter than they thought. More people die. A few people escape the island. JP4 is made. Please return to top for JP4 synopsis.

    WAKE UP. SMELL THE HOLLYWOOD BULL!

    Head Gear (SPOILER)

    by saintx99

    Ok, the dinos arent really "super smart" in fact, they are quite the opposite. When ingen wanted to keep the dinos from escaping, they made a strain of retarded raptors, and put helmets on them, so they wouldn't bludgeon themselves. Reportedly the raptors have a strong affinity for Barney and Cheesecake.

    Raptors with headsets?

    by ravage

    Sounds like a rip off of Beast Wars, when the clone of Dinobot had the laser headset. All I want is raptors with freaking lasers on them. Just kidding. I can't wait to see the spinosaur kick the shit out of the T-Rex though. I heard that just when the plane lands, right before the tail hits the plane. The camera does a close up of Tea Leoni and then this blue flash and all of a sudden it's Dr. Sam Beckett. "OH BOY". DECEPTICONS FOREVER HA-HA

  • Granted this is because every time you attempt to you find the Beltway to be as impassable as a WWI trenchline, but hey, that's just part of the charm.

    JP3 Plot

    by jplover

    Im gonna have to disagree with some of you...I think the idea of the dinos communicating with each other is ingenious! And I personaly think its a great plot for a great series! Man I can't wait to see some Dino-Action!!

    Spinosaur kicks Trexes ass?

    by skywolf

    In reality, spinosaurs were much smaller than T-rexs, about the size of a small schoolbus, where T-rexs were about 2 stories tall. Not to take any fun out of the movie, but I think a spinosaur whipping the shit out of a T-rex is pretty unrealistic. I would have had a Gigantasaurus (a predator much larger than a trex) whip it.And if they wanted to make the raptors more realistic, the crests were a good idea, but they should have downsized them. Utahraptors are that size, not velociraptors.
