Intentions:

Remove some of the action scenes that ruined pacing and tension, while fleshing out as many dinosaur scenes as possible. For some reason this Jurassic movie didn’t feel like it focused much on the dinosaurs it was built on, so I’m pushing for a more original trilogy vibe.

Change List:

• Insert Fanedit warning • Add Godzilla vs Kong trailer. • Insert Intro MR logo • Remove Teenagers inside car. (Are they kissing or trying to eat each other?) • Add Battle at Big Rock teaser scene from the early trailers • Convert Battle at Big Rock into 5.1 surround sound. • Transition into Now News reel. • Remove “It’s medieval” • Remove Claire’s cutaway shot • Remove shot of Claire looking back while driving. (It’s a weird choice of edit and doesn’t flow with the pacing) • Remove the line “We’re gonna get shot” (again, pulls you out of the tension that’s building, show don’t tell) • Cut the “Everybody good?” and “Noooo!” lines. • Remove Maisie riding a bike into the sunset (Every other shot is overcast, while it’s a nice shot, it just feels weirdly placed). • Horizontal flip footage of Maisie riding her bike from right to left, to left to right. (She’s riding out of town; this makes it look like she’s riding back home) • Remove the entire shop scene. (This scene has so many issues. 1. Nosy old lady needs to mind her business. 2. Maisie never uses anything she buys, 3. Call product placement for Hershey’s) • Remove the lines “what are you burning?” and “oh, nothing. Just some old blankets”. (They’re brand new! and why are you burning synthetic fabrics? What about the environment?) • Remove the lines “Wanna know how to win in a knife fight? You gotta let yourself get cut.” (Are you fricking kidding me? This has gotta be the worst parenting advice I’ve ever heard in a movie. She’s a child, teach her NOT to get in a knife fight. Jesus!) • Remove shot of girl screaming for a dramatic echo transition. (The kid caught the locust; she’s calm in all the other shots. Why is she screaming?) • Fix audio transition. • Fix movie editing error. Ellie removed her sunglasses twice so I made the transition less jarring. • Remove cut away to Owen and Maisie. (Keeping the close-up on Maisie shows the focus is all on her) • Remove the line “I promise you that!” (Why are you promising an animal who doesn’t understand the concept of a promise?) • Remove the lines “Look, You guys are both crazy but you seem like good parents” (This constant modern reassuring crap just pulls me out of movies. Do your job! No one asked for your opinion). • Remove the line “He’s basically a young me!” (This just feels forced and very odd. The young black guy is replacing the old white man). • Remove Ian’s talk about having 5 kids. (You’re an environmentalist. You should know that having children is the most detrimental thing you can do to the planet). No, it just feels like Ian avoids Alan's question and skips straight to him. • Cut a weird long pause on Ramsay walking out of frame. • Remove the coffee guy reeling off the list of beverages that nobody cares about. (Why does this guy have a speaking role at all?) • Remove the introduction of Laser Raptors and Soyana giving poachers another job. (This pacing and acting is really off. It just feels like a subplot to fill an already bloated timeline). • Again, Removing the intro to Laser Raptors. • Remove cut of Dino escaping out the cage. (There are far too many cuts in this scene that doesn’t add anything but time). • Remove the entire scene of Soyana releasing the Laser Raptors. (Again, this spreads out an already bloated part of the film. This also makes a great transition cut from Claire walking right, into Soyana walking right). • Remove Soyana’s line “You don’t use it on people!” (Who is she to lecture anyone about using weapons on people? You just set a whole group of Laser Raptors on the police). • Cut the entire rooftop scene where Claire is getting chased by the Laser raptor. (Yet another bloated chase scene that just makes the movie drag. Now Claire jumps straight out the window onto the balcony. Really nice, clean edit here). • Remove the entire Laser Raptor scene of Owen and Barry. (BLOATED!) • Rearrange the Van chase scene, removing Owen’s cutaways but keeping Claire’s dialogue. (there’s a lot of scene changes and audio fixes to make this work but it does). • Remove some pretty bad editing choices of Claire and Raptor. (They just add confusion to the scene and not tension). • Trim down the overly bloated Raptor chasing van scene and inter cut it with Owen on the bike. (This makes a much more intense and impactful chase scene). • Remove the scene of Soyana putting her hands up and being sneaky with the laser pen. • Rearrange Raptor chase scene again, removing some dynamic camera shots that just feel out of place. • Trim out Claire hitting Raptor in the face. • Cut Owen riding the bike through the middle of the city. (While this is removing some dino action, it shows a weird world where people are just having coffee outside where there are top predators that eat people. What?) • Keeping Owen’s bike chase just to back streets, makes it feel more claustrophobic and intense. • Remove the weird hugging shot with Owen and Claire. The timing and placement feels really off. Just cut to Kayla for a smoother end scene. • Remove awkward scene between Claire and Owen heavy breathing and checking each other’s boo boos in the back of the plane. (Is this to maybe show our protagonists are human or in love or something, What? Dunno, it slows the pacing down and makes for a weird transition) • Remove the scene between Kayla, Owen and Claire “taking the ride”. (you’re already in the plane, dude!). • Cut shot of Claire heavy breathing in the ejector seat. • Remove stupid explanation to why Kayla only has one ejector seat in the back. (Dumbest design ever! Let me just get out of the pilot seat and strap myself in the back before I crash, because you “weren't expecting company!” Didn’t really think that one through now, did ya? LOL) • Remove the entire scene with Pyroraptor, Owen and Kayla. (While I love the design and main part of this scene, the way it unfolds is stupid. There was no editing around it. It’s just another bloated chase scene). • Remove Owen falling into ice water. (At no point after this does he get hyperthermia or even resemble that he’s cold. He also dries off within minutes). • Remove the scene on the train between Alan, Ellie and Maisie. (This is trying to give an emotional scene between all the action but it feels a little on the nose and desperate). • Remove Ians line “Dodgson!” (What is that, a threat?) haha • Remove Alan's shock reaction to the Dimetrodon jump scare. (They just keep making the old cast look goofy). • Remove Alan's Indiana Jones rip-off shot. • Remove all shots of Ramsay helping from the control room. (Doing so now makes Ian the hero, thus making the old cast as well balanced as the new. No need for Ramsay to even be involved. They clearly give the diversity hire something to do at this point). • Fix audio cue transition for Jurassic Park theme into new. • Cut Maisie screaming “HELP!!” (You literally rescue yourself in the next shot. Why are they making her look like a dramatic, attention seeking teenager?). • Remove Alan and Owen saying “Don’t move!” at the same time. (Far too cheesy for my liking). • Remove Alan saying Ian from a ladder fall. (It gets so boring when there’s a threat, a member of our team is in trouble, another member of the team rescues them from the threat, and introduces a new threat. Just let the story have some breathing space dammit!). • Remove the ‘member berry shot of the shaving foam container. • Remove the entire scene between Dodgson and Ramsay (This grinds the entire movie to a halt. Pointless!) • Cut Owen’s line about making a promise to Blue • Cut Ian’s line “you made a promise to a dinosaur?” (Brilliant meta joke and well delivered but no!). • Fix some audio issues for transition • Rearrange the scenes between Ian and the girls, and Alan and the others. These intercuts remove any chance of tension building. Editing them into longer scenes allows the film to breathe and tension build. • Fix audio issues for seamless transitions. • Cut Owen’s line “I promised your mum I’d get you home!” • Add “Re-edited by Movies Remastered” for end credits. • Add MR logo to end credits.
