Waiting for a good, realistic looking dinosaur movie as a kid was like waiting to grow up. It couldn’t happen soon enough. Specials and educational programs of dinosaurs, as well as books and puzzles galore decorated every little boy’s room, just waiting for that movie that didn’t look like stop motion to come sweep us off our feet. And no, dinobots do NOT count. Little did we know, five movies about these very creatures would soon roam our theaters, all overseen by the director who had already changed cinema forever the decade before.
Fourteen years after Jurassic Park III came and went with little more than a whimper, producer Steven Spielberg was ready to once again tackle the world of dinosaurs. But instead of bringing in someone known for big blockbuster entertainment like he did with Michael Bay and Transformers, he brought in Colin Trevorrow. Who the hell is Colin Trevorrow, you may ask. He was the director of a little 2012 Sundance highlight called Safety Not Guaranteed. Based off that film, which was by no means a showcase of visual effects, the gamble on Trevorrow paid off as Jurassic World ended up making over $1 billion. But how do we feel about it?
Join me, Law, and Nate as all three of us revisit Jurassic World for the first time since theaters. All of us were initially dead set against its machinations and unending nuances back in 2015. But will the three of us feel the same way now?
Download below to find out, and be sure to tune in next Tuesday as we dissect the new release Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, and I give the Binge Aftertaste schedule for the remainder of summer.
Note: There were a few technical difficulties spread throughout this episode. Sorry about that. Please don't make us extinct as a result.
