Even though my hyper fixation is still on Transformers, I wanted to redraw the first illustration I did of the Dinot3 (which I think was February of last year), It was interesting to try again with these 3 but I love the idea
To be honest... I'm embarrassed to put the original drawing so look at the idea of this one :D (mis abuelitos)
Jurassic World Dominion just came out and I really enjoyed it, but Prehistoric Planet’s dinosaurs look as real, natural, and adorable as we could ever get.
with biosyn, a lot of the locust plot gets ignored because people were mad they aren’t dinosaurs but it’s never discussed how absolutely horrifying the actual situation is. like, for the amount of global ramifications it would have, dominion spends absolutely no time contemplating it.
the locusts devour any crops that aren’t grown from biosyn seeds. which will probably be most food. the united states is the largest food exporter in the world (FAO statistic) as well as a top importer of food. if the largest exporting country could no longer meet export demand, do we realize how bad that is? inflation is going to skyrocket, the poor will be systematically starving to death, the usa will begin stealing food from weaker nations to feed its own population causing artificial famines across south america, africa, and asia.
and in the movie, we have a throw away line that they’re SPREADING. them being widespread in the USA alone would be an apocalyptic level event, and they’re SPREADING?!?
dominion essentially introduced GENOCIDE as a subplot but no one actually points that out
I have to say, I've been watching a lot of film reviews for Jurassic World Dominion, and people go on about the locust plot being bad or boring - but I honestly found it to be the closest to the actual heart of Jurassic Park the sequel trilogy has gotten.
It didn't get paid off nearly as well as it should have, and maybe this is partially my writer-brain filling in the glaring holes in the story, but "corporation manufactures a plague to wipe out competition and create a monopoly, but then loses control to disastrous consequences" sounds EXACTLY correct for Jurassic Park's themes of how using unregulated science for capitalistic profit leads to disaster, and how man's hubris in assuming he can control nature ultimately leads to his downfall. And bringing back the original trio for that plotline? Absolutely makes sense!
Seeing the glimpses of this potential through the movie is probably the closest to actually engaging me the entire Jurassic World trilogy has gotten. And maybe it's just because I'm here for different reasons to a lot of people reviewing this movie, but Jurassic Park films shouldn't be successful action movies, they should be successful sci-fi movies with a twist of horror, and THAT is why the recent movies have failed to live up to my expectations.
Jurassic World: Dominion is cool as fuck and going on my Favoritte Movies list. I don't care that it's flawed, I don't care. All I care about is the fact that it is one of the raddest most awesome movies I've ever seen. It had my favorite aspects in live action film. There were so many cool action scenes, and so many references to the original. I loved the puppeteering and the practical effects as well as the cgi. It just was such a fun movie and I absolutely adore it.
