I kinda wish they replaced locusts with dinos that fart anthrax.

f***ing hell...
Don't know if anyone else has watched the Dreamworks Netflix “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous”.. Actually the show is not bad... The series is mostly set between the first and second JW movies
But the latest season fills in question some would of had from the movie:

My wife and I watched the movie last night. It was better than the previous movie, but it set off some alarms in my head as a guy who knows a thing or two about genetics:
1) Kidnapping Beta is utterly pointless. The science behind parthenogenesis (the asexual reproduction that gave rise to her) isn’t so complex that they’d need to study her. Additionally, they already had Blue’s DNA in their records and Beta’s DNA would be completely identical.
2) For that matter, kidnapping Massie is similarly pointless. They not only already had her DNA on record (how else did they know it was different from Charlotte’s?), but her DNA wouldn’t help explain the science behind the altering of her DNA. You know what would though? The notes Wu was obsessing over.
3) Wu wanted Massie in order to kill off the uberlocusts. The delivery mechanism that can alter her would not have the capacity to alter the locusts. Viruses tend to be very species-specific. While viruses that can affect multiple species do exist, humans are far too different from insects for that to work.
4) For that matter, the mere existence of the locusts is just wrong. Any arthropod that size would be rather lethargic. That is because they have a passive respiratory system. They simply can’t breathe in enough oxygen to do something as energetic as flying, let alone flying, let alone swarming. The instances in the past where there were arthropods that size happened to coincide with periods when the oxygen content of the air were significantly higher. In those times they could get enough oxygen.
I was, however, pleased to see that the “unaltered” dinos actually had their wrists oriented in the right direction for once

This movie showed up in a YouTube video I was watching tonight and I genuinely don’t think I’ll ever get over the fact that the main point was about locusts
Still can’t believe it

After finally watching this a few weeks back I refuse to believe this movie's script started life as a Jurassic World movie. In fact I refuse to believe this movie's script started life as a single script. It feels like some studio executive had a few random scripts lying around, shuffled the pages together and handed it off to somebody else with the instructions of "here, add some dinosaurs and make this a Jurassic World movie".

That’s how felt about Fallen Kingdom. Like they only had half a script of what if Jurassic World was built on a volcano!? Then they had to add fortyfive minutes of someone’s dumb dinosaur fan fic about illegal unground auctions.

Actually It’s still not as batshit crazy as the supposed script for Jurassic Park 4…some of which it seems it was adapted into less LSD fueled craziness than it was meant to be. (The trainer hired to make the dinosaurs into weapons of war was always there…but it was a military man originally brought in to train half human half dinosaur hybrid soldiers.)

Then they had to add fortyfive minutes of someone’s dumb dinosaur fan fic about illegal unground auctions. And then the clone girl lets all the Dinosaurs live and roam free in the world because "They're like me" If that plotpoint wasn't bafflingly insane enough, they give you a sense of dread at the very least at the end of the film that the climax will be humans vs dinosaurs as they fight for superiority and it's like "Ok, that could be a cool way to end this triology" ... BUT THEN at the start of Dominion, the fallout from the Dinosaurs integrating into the world is... like not f***ing much?? It's actually kind of crazy how little changes outside of like, the giant fish Dinosaur f***ing with a ship in the opening. And then as is said, the main conflict is around "locusts eating crops" and "Big bad evil lab trying to create the ultimate dinosaur... AGAIN"... and then the movie ends and the world is just... fine, humans and dinosaurs just live together now by the way and it's cool. Absolute f***ing waste, especially when you brought the original three actors back, especially after Ian Malcolm literally said at the end of Fallen Kingdom that the world was f***ed and you introduce him just... teaching a class and again, the world's just fine with all the dinosaurs all over the place. Just baffling bad choices in handling this film and the conclusion of the second trilogy as a whole imo.

Let them make a Resident Evil movie, they'll nail it.

You know what’s even more hilarious about the locusts in this film? This is actually one of the most blatant examples of them just…making a creature in the franchise. Grasshoppers/locusts never got that big ever in the history of the planet. In part because they didn’t first show up until the Triassic, well after the end of the age of giant insects. And there is no amount of Jurassic Park frankensteining bullshittery that can handwave the fact that insects the size of the locusts in the film literally would not be able to breath the atmosphere of Earth in the current day. Just is too low of an oxygen concentration to allow it.

I've never seen any of the Jurassic World movies. The first movie I had multiple chances, but something always happened where I ended up having to put it off. After so long, it seems fitting not to watch it now. I read the synopsis for the sequels, and honestly it just invigorates me to do anything else with my time than to watch these.
Despite this, I play the Jurassic World mobile game. I'm only there for the Cenozoic creatures!

Just is too low of an oxygen concentration to allow it. And even if you took logic completely out of it, as they did... it just sucked as a plot point All of the potential giant bugs they could have played with as well and it was just lame... go full King Kong Skull Island if you're gonna go the giant prehistoric insects route, make it interesting... that being said "Evil Lab trying to control the world and make perfect dino" was just a retread of the second film, and they didn't even have the fun horror aspects of that thing stalking the mansion in the dark and hunting the kid, it just... felt very forced instead of doing the actual cool idea of "The world's kind of ending because Dinosaurs are everywhere and don't give a shit"...

I watched about a month ago. I avoided all plot info, but did hear of the locusts. I really expected this movie to be about how dinosaurs were amongst us now, how we're gonna deal with it and so on. Not a 4 second "We rounded all the dinosaurs up, really wasn't that hard" that we got followed by whatever the f*** the movie was supposed to be.
