Better than Dominion isn't hard.

Fast and Furious went to space, why not the Jurassic Park franchise too!

I was just saying the other day if the first one had been faithful to the ending of the book we wouldn't have all this mess.

Both this and Five Nights at Freddy’s have an interesting problem, where they’re based around an entertainment franchise that goes wrong - but the franchise itself necessitates repeated attempts and failure.

I remember trying to like the lost world but I just can’t. Only the first is worth watching.

Did you actually see the 2025 movie? No way the theme you got from that is US Corpo good. If anything g it's literally the opposite.

I didn't see anything else than 2025. Pretty bad.

I do agree with the main point of your post; however, I feel that your reasoning is backwards.

Big blockbusters give the masses a dose of placebo. You see a movie where people who hold your values win, so you feel like it happened in real life, so you're less likely to make it happen in real life.

So I'm not spoiling this movie, look at the MCU instead: They defeated Thanos and stopped half the world's population from disappearing, and then we failed to properly fight COVID and Donald Trump gained power.

Now, I know correlation doesn't equal causation, and that there were other factors at play, but I also know that when you perceive the image of something, it activates the same neurons as actually seeing that thing - when you watch The Notebook or Armageddon, you feel the emotions of the characters in the film, and you cry.

That, combined with the other psychological tactics that we are constantly being bombarded with, make it difficult for us to navigate the world with a clear head. When you feel like you're winning, why would you fight?

And also, a TON of people are straight apathetic, and a lot more are just plain-old stupid. And there are dozens or hundreds of other factors such as personality of the audience, socioeconomics, religious beliefs, etc... that come into play here as well. It's not quite as cut-and-dry as "monkey see, monkey feels as though it has done," but that does play a large factor in it.

I typed all this but didn't proofread any of it, so I hope it makes sense. I'm sleepy.

Money

IDK, maybe this?

Hey, corporation needed to look 'good' so it was obvious they would scrap the shitty CEO of the Book and put 'Santa Claus' in his place, right?

That’s the big issue with going to the theatre. Two tickets, popcorn and a drink for my wife and I and I’m paying $50+ in Canada. I think the last movie we saw in theatres was dr strange 2 and it wasn’t worth it, before that it was avengers end game. 99% of movies just aren’t worth going to the movies for. I haven’t seen a film i would say was 100% worth it since Fury Road. Everything else im fine watching at home. Better resolution, i have a good screen and sound. And I can pause to go take a piss

it's just a gay porno with a dude in one of those memable T-Rex costumes

Lost World had some fun stuff (Despite diverging from it's book even worse than the first movie) but you're really not missing much, none of the sequels come within a mile the original.

The books, Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World, are very good and very different from the movies. I also recommend Disclosure by the same author.
