New Jurassic Park

Apparently isn't about dinosaurs really? Everyone is saying it centers around some giant locusts. Can our resident expert chime in??

It was never about dinosaurs. It was about the human condition. It was about love and yearning and expectations. And giant dinosaur poop.

it comes out thursday in america so i haven't seen it yet, and im avoiding any major spoilers, but you're right about there being a genetically engineered locust subplot
from what im hearing, biosyn (the rival genetics company that hired nedry to steal the embryos in the first movie) is now what ingen was in the first film, and they've begun rounding up dinosaurs that escaped in the first film under the guise of protecting them and researching them, but have also either brought back prehistoric locusts or genetically engineered their own (and are made to attack crops that aren't biosyn produced). i think that's why ellie from the first film gets involved, she's a paleobotanist, and she brings grant along. biosyn hired malcolm as a consultant.
again i haven't seen it so i might be off on some of that, having not read anything that fully spoils the movie

but this one actually has more dinosaurs than any of the others so it's not specifically about locusts

Not taking the piss but how do you spoil a Jurassic Park? Either big cool dinos come out or they don't. Can't really have a twist where they end up being rejected animatronics

*rounding up dinosaurs that escaped in the last film
not the first
though rexy is still the same trex from JP

ehhh im sure it's gonna be a turn off your brain and watch people get eaten movie like the last two JW movies
but since they're bringing back legacy characters and tying it directly to the first film i don't wanna know everything
im going thursday at 4
and im concerned cuz one of the few negative things i've heard is that they DID go with more animatronics this time but they don't look that good.
