Dinosaurs are anything but extinct at the box office.

"Jurassic World," the fourth film in the series, became the highest global opener of all time with a staggering $511.8 million in its first days in theaters. It also devoured a number of domestic box office records with a $204.6 million take, the Rentrak media-measurement company estimated on Sunday.

There is one thing the world agrees on. We all luv some dinosaurs and marine/flying reptiles.

I wonder if this is anything like “Avatar” where PC/liberalism seems to dominate? Can anyone give a critique?

[napscoordinator]

And patriotic actors. Hopefully other actors will see how successful this movie is while seeing Chris Pratt respecting the American Flag. I don’t have much hope for that but I do respect Pratt for being a wonderful example to his son.

Nope. Comparable to the first one. Mindless fun entertainment. No agenda being overtly pushed.

Of course, one could find mild jabs at multiple
topics in the movie but it wasn’t a PC-fest.

You mean other than their blaming the extinction of the Dinosaurs on man made climate change?

[Mikey_1962]

I wonder how many pirated prints are showing in Red China?

[albie]

Thanks. I like the first JP and was hoping to like this one.

Hollywood seems to have resorted to "Plan B"

Love and Mercy, Spy, this movie, among others. That plan would be good movies.

Let’s face it, back in those days everyone was barbecuing everyday for every meal. The ozone never had a chance.

[P-Marlowe]

Well obviously man hunted the poor dinosaurs to extinction.

[KC_Conspirator]

The Washington ComPost critics did not like the movie, which pretty much means that its probably a good fun movie to go see.

(Note: What ever the ComPost movie critics say about a movie, you can always assume the opposite. The ComPost likes movies about gays and pushing leftwing agenda, and if the movie does not include any of it, they don't like it.)

I will see this flick this Father's Day weekend. I hope I like this movie they way I like old scifi movie...because they are fun.

[ManHunter]

Went to see it this past weekend and it was just a fun, entertaining movie.

[PfromHoGro]

It was super fun and I didn't register any micro-aggressions or needed trigger warnings. Mother-in-law didn't fall asleep ONCE! So that's the best review it can have.

Lot's of inside jokes on amusement parks, like not spilling your margarita or (spoiler alert) a pterradon (sp?) attack happening outside the Imax showing the Pterradon Experience- priceless. Good job Universal!

[Verbosus]

And as a bonus - perhaps we can see a dinosaur eat an attorney!

I went Friday night. I saw the original, then this one. Didn’t see the two in between
