I think we need a whole series of "Why CGI can't save the writing/directing". Because people often point fingers at the CGI, say it looks bad, it looks fake, it doesn't fit, it stands out, when they really mean "the writing and directing was so poor, that I couldn't suspend my disbelief and the situation seemed so artificial, it helped me notice all the little inconsistencies in the CGI.
I think they said it perfectly “ they’re not buying the situation and they’re blaming the vfx” Jurassic park took the franchise from a block buster thriller to just another action movie. The original kitchen scene is a good example slow paced and the animals made mistakes and acted like animals it wasn’t just constant senseless action
I've been saying it for years, YEARS that the dinosaurs started behaving less like animals with every sequel. The reason the dinosaurs behave so real in the first one is simply Phil Tipett's involvement who knew what dinosaurs do and shouldn't do. He wasn't afraid to tell the director that the script is ridiculous when the T-Rex was supposed to lift the whole car with his mouth. Phil Tippett pointed out that a T-Rex simply doesn't have enough neck muscles to be able to perform that action. So they changed it and we got that great business in the car where the T-Rex tries to get to the kids by turning over the car first to attack the underside and squeezing them.
I love how Clint is always introduced like “Clint is back!” but never really left
Sam keeps saying that he isn’t trying to talk about story/direction but I feel like that would be a good spin off too. Talking about why stylistic decisions are made and how story beats work. Like a combination of screenwriter reacts and cinematographer reacts.
I think it's actually interesting he mentioned that the raptors are like "missiles locked on" because, in the context of the scene, they're wired to follow whatever this like laser pointer points at. So the evil lady points her laser pointer at Chris Pratt, and the dinosaurs lock on. It's not only the context, and that the dinosaurs aren't really behaving like animals-- if anything, in context they shouldn't be. It's just that the context is so unbearably stupid lmfao
I've been noticing that whenever Wren talks in any of these series, he teaches the audience and treats it like a tutorial. But no one else does that.
Prehistoric Planet is the most scientifically accurate take we have on dinosaurs EVER
That was what made the first Jurassic Park so great: the dinosaurs felt like animals. And that's what made them terrifying: they were just doing what animals do. They were a force of nature, acting like nature acts, whether humans are present to see it or not - which incidentally fit the theme of the movie really well - and the humans were just unfortunate to be in their path. T-Rex gotta eat. Raptor gotta hunt. But in the World movies they feel like movie monsters or theme park attractions, not acting with independence, not following their animal instincts, but following a script to give a certain experience to the main characters and, by proxy, the audience. Ultimately they are created for OUR benefit, so we can watch cool motorcycle chases, and we can sense that when we watch the film, and that's not as compelling, somehow. You could argue that that fits the theme of the World movies, but . . . it still feels meh.
I’m glad you guys talked about the punch zoom and realism. It’s a pet peeve of mine when a movie switched to cg and then physics of capturing a movie go out the window. In a lot of movies, as soon as they commit to cg, the camera starts doing crazy things, flying through windows, etc and it doesn’t have the same impact of something like mission impossible where you can see how it was filmed and that’s an enjoyable part of the moment.
Honestly one of my favorite parts of Dominion was just seeing the Therizinosaurus living a (semi) normal life for like 2 minutes. Not totally insane. More realistic, not moving in weird to ways and not acting crazy. It looked like a wild animal
Ok, just straight up, I was absolutely enamoured by the CGI in Prehistoric Planet. CGI is good these days, but I just found it to be so next level on that series. Absolutely spectacular.
I think what makes Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park stand out for me is how grounded they feel compared to the rest of the series.
It's hilarious that Clint brought up the whole idea of a "CG punch zoom" because it immediately brought to mind the first "big shot" of Cloverfield where the cameraman frantically zooms in on a massive fireball near the city skyline.
Four years of Comparative Anatomy classes have programmed me to scrutinize animal motility and behavior in films. You guys are right about dinosaurs not behaving like they're theorized to. Jurassic World leans so heavily into the Sci-Fi Fantasy aspect of dinosaurs that it's hard to believe their interpretation could be real. Mixing this fantastical interpretation with the rest of the movies' realistic setting only highlights the dissonance between the two elements.
I’m Glad Prehistoric Planet is getting the Respect it Deserves and I’m sure the Audience outside of the Paleo-Community is Glad about it too.
Glad to see the channel back at full swing!
My Jump-the-shark moment for the JW franchise was from JW where the tiny Pterosaurs were released from the aviary. Rather than just disappearing off into the forest like animals would, they ALL headed straight for the busiest, noisiest, most unfamiliar part of the island (the public areas of the park) and ALL began attacking the people, creatures 20 times their size, for no reason at all.
You should do an episode devoted only to Prehistoric Planet. I think it would be interesting for you to explain how they incorporated the dinosaurs into the environment so well
