It’s without question that I have enjoyed the “Jurassic Park” and now “Jurassic World” franchise of films because the effects are just so awesome as they bring these long ago creatures into the world we live in today. For as long as I can remember I’ve been fascinated by dinosaurs but not as a field of study as much as being awed by what they might have been like in the real world. One of my favorite places to learn more about them is our own American Museum Of Natural History and if you haven’t gone there yet I suggest that you do it but where was I. Oh yes, so the last time I discussed the upcoming Universal Pictures release “Jurassic World: Dominion” was when they released a clip that was labeled “The Prologue”. If you haven’t seen that yet since it was from three months ago, just click HERE and you can check it out. Now it’s time to enjoy the full on Official Trailer and a slightly better premise of the film. I have to admit that it was nice to get this kind of clip before the Big Game and not wait for it to release then. Okay, take a look down below. See you at the closing.

The Premise: The film is set about four years after the events of “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom”, in which genetically engineered dinosaurs were auctioned to companies around the world while others were released on the U.S. mainland. The story takes place around the world and depicts humans living with dinosaurs. (c/o Wiki)

Ahhh dinosaurs…..There is just something about them that fascinates us and when you place them in blockbuster films where we are face to face with them millions of years after they existed it just gets even more interesting. The “Jurassic World” franchise will reach its third film with the 2022 opening “Jurassic World: Dominion” and just a short time ago, the fine folks at Universal Pictures released a clip they called “The Prologue” and its pretty cool. Let’s take a look and then peruse any of the provided information on the film. Enjoy.

The Premise Clip: This original 5 min prologue to Jurassic World Dominion, directed by Colin Trevorrow, rockets audiences back 65 million years into the past to experience the world before humans existed—and offers a glimpse of a world in which dinosaurs are living among us. (c/o YouTube).

If you’re a fan of the larger franchise then there is no way possible that you missed seeing “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” during its theatrical run. Of course if you’re one of those folks that likes to get on Facebook lauding how they never saw a single Star Wars film, then I will give you a moment to collect your things and return here at another time. The film continued the story that began so many moons ago and brought in just over $1.3 billion dollars which is pretty damned awesome. The other day we received the details on the Digital and Home release and you can learn all about it and even enjoy the trailer for the product down below. I’ll return at the close with additional editorial.

Opening: “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” In Theaters Everywhere (12/15/2017)

Leave a comment

It’s time to return to a galaxy far, far away as “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” opens in theaters everywhere. How excited are you for this one? Pretty darned excited I’m willing to say. Let’s review the poster, some casting and a premise that I came up with on the fly 🙂

The Premise: The film continues along with the story that was begun in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and greater expands upon the Intergalactic conflict that was found taking place between the tyranny of The First Order and The Resistance.

The Cast/Characters:
Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker
Carrie Fisher as General Leia Organa
Adam Driver as Kylo Ren
Daisy Ridley as Rey Jakku
John Boyega as Finn
Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron
Lupita Nyong’o as Maz Kanata
Domhnall Gleeson as General Hux
Anthony Daniels as C-3PO
Gwendoline Christie as Captain Phasma
Andy Serkis as Supreme Leader Snoke
Benicio del Toro as an unnamed charter
Laura Dern as Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo
Kelly Marie Tran as Rose Ticomber

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I’m pretty excited about this one despite not really finding “The Force Awakens” to be all that great. I enjoyed that one enough sure, but I didn’t love it like some of my fellow geeks did. My hope is that this film mirrors the historical practice of the second in the series being so good. Let’s face it, “Empire Strikes Back” was superb and maybe even better than the first “Star Wars” while “Attack Of The Clones” was far superior to “The Phantom Menace”. My issue is going to be like evading enemy TIE Fighters since so many of my close media discussion friends are all seeing the film on the night it opens or the next day and I cannot get there until next week. Hopefully I can skirt any information about it until next Wednesday which is the preferred day that I’d like to go. I might even need to turn off my personal Facebook for a couple of days to be on the safe side. What do you readers think about this opening? Is it the film you have been anticipating the most this year or was it one of the other ones like “Thor: Ragnarok”, “Wonder Woman”, “Spider-Man: Homecoming” or maybe even “Justice League”. Let me know in the comments section below and please NO SPOILERS if you have seen it. Those folks can just say they loved it or didn’t. Once I get to the theater, I will map out a movie review that will be as spoiler free as possible. May The Force Be With You my readers.
