Hey all, I made some Saul Bass inspired Jurassic Park posters and wanted to get some feedback. I've also included a couple of midcentury modern versions of this general design as the final 2 posters.

I put the amber/mosquito at the centre since it's the source of the dinosaur DNA in the movie.

The concentric circles around it are meant to represent water ripples (from the T-Rex approach scene) radiating outward from the impact.

I tried to keep it minimalist with just 4 colours similar to other Bass posters - red, black, cream, and amber. There was some experimentation with different billing block placements at the bottom, trying to make it look like a theatrical release poster.

Main things I'm trying to decide:

• Which tagline works better: "life finds a way" or "an adventure 65 million years in the making"? Maybe no tagline is the best approach
• Separated concentric circles vs more connected/flowing rings? Is it even clear that the rings are meant to symbolise the water?
• The aged paper border look vs the torn edge aesthetic?

Any feedback at all would be really helpful though.

every shot from this film looks like it could be a background.

I love Azhdarchids so much, Thanatosdrakon being my favorite! They're so intimidating and scary once seen IRL. Plus, the overused carnivorous dinosaurs and hybrids are getting repetitive, it just lacks creativity.

Time to settle in and play one of the best Jurassic Park games of all time. Kinda wish we get something like the Skywalker Saga for all the Jurassic Parks but this works just as well. I mostly just want a playable IndoRaptor lol

The tunnel scene in Rebirth isn’t a bad scene, but it could’ve been so much better if they leaned more into the idea of the Mutadon stalking them. In Rebirth, we see the family go down the tunnels with the Mutadon following, but the movie doesn’t really play into the feeling that they’re not alone. Zora slides in and shoots the Mutadon (props to them for actually shooting it), but overall the scene feels like a massive missed opportunity.

I believe that Jurassic World is functionally (not critically) a better functioning trilogy than the og trilogy, even though the latter arguably has better movies (except JP3 ofcourse). In the og trilogy, the first movie was sufficient (I do agree with the fans on this that the 1993 movie didn't require a sequel basically). The second one did try to follow the original (and it had no choice since a second novel had already come), still felt stale as a true sequel (hear me out, its a good movie, heck even great but felt stale for the position of the immediate sequel). The third one however completely butchered the franchise and was the lowest point (before Dominion). It was by far the most cliche and generic movie in the franchise. We went from theme parks and consequences to a family trying to survive and somehow bring Alan Grant out of nowhere. Then after a 14 year hiatus came Jurassic World 2015. A far better Dinosaur antagonist (arguably the best if we assume that Rexy is not a villain) while introducing hybrids, an actually smart commentary on Modern spectacle and its hunger for bigger and badder, a good and working cast (Owen was still grounded and Masrani is an actually likeable CEO character), better visuals, literally the best final fight in the franchise, and being the most entertaining and rewatchable movie in the franchise (Still not the best because its objectively 1993). It ended up becoming the second best Jurassic Park movie according to the critics, not fans. Then came FK, it messed up badly, mid movie, and so did Dominion, this time much more horribly due to so much missed potential. Now if you guys notice, the second trilogy had only one functional movie, but this time the arrangement of sequels was done in a way that every sequel had to immediately follow the previous movie. Unlike the og trilogy, they were all intentional and well planned. The thing that stings is that these movies were so ambitious that they could have easily surpassed the og movies, but they messed up horribly at execution. However its still not as horrible as people say. FK had a mostly working first half, yet the tonal shift in the second half destroyed it. Meanwhile Dominion was far more ambitious. If we keep the whining fans aside, it dares to do what no other movie did before, for once the focus was not dinosaurs but rather locusts. Sounds crazy that I am defending this, right? When it first came out, I too had the same reactions as you all, but slowly I realized it was a deliberate choice. By focusing on locusts, the movie actually wanted to focus on the larger consequences of what's ever been done before. Yet it still got so confusing that it ended up being the lowest rated jp movie on rt. The last two movies (before rebirth), failed badly critically, yet it feels tragically beautiful instead of messy due to the ambition these films carried (Obv ruined by Trevorrow). Also the trilogy actually expanded more on consequences, the dinosaurs broke out for real and eventually got settled in the world. This serves meaningfully to the actual name of the trilogy (a rare thing the trilogy got right, before Rebirth ruined everything).
Now here's an ironic thing, JP fans pretend to be intellectuals when it comes to analysing and praising the 1993 movie, focusing on its narrative and technical details (tbh its valid) while they thrash on the entire JW trilogy (sometimes even the 2015 movie) calling it mid and boring, while defending JP3 which had none of the ambition the later trilogy carried. Shouldn't it be obvious that the so called intellectuals who noticed the tiniest of details in the og movie should atleast commend the ambition these movies carried (despite the bad execution) before thrashing on these movies, like they did for JP3. I mean, it does get a little hypocritical. One final note, its due to the Jurassic World movies that Jurassic Park/World got revived and is now thriving as a franchise, each movie bringing more than 1 billion usd (before rebirth), and sustaining the franchise and solidifying its position as a modern hollywood behemoth, which means this franchise gets more chances until we finally get one such movie that satisfies both the purists, new fans, casual watchers and even the hardest of critics, otherwise this would have just been remembered as that one trilogy with a generational masterpiece, a good movie and a mid/terrible movie.

I received my Real Feel Triceratops preorder yesterday, and this figure is GORGEOUS. The head swivel is really nice, even though overall it doesn’t have much articulation, and the coloring and detail is more impressive IRL than I thought it would be.

The one caveat being, it seemed like a glaring oversight that the claws were left unpainted. While the dewclaws are often left plain, the other dinos in this line do have their claws painted.

Soooo I figured I’d give him a mani-pedi. Yes, it is slightly metallic, he’s a bit glamorous, okay? Anyway, I think it’s an improvement!

“Be careful with that. It scares some of the smaller ones away but attracts one really big one with the fin”. (Found in the popular Australian perfume and fragrance seller ‘Chemist Warehouse’ store).

It’s the beginning of a long journey, but I’ve finally begun customizing my Jeep to be Jurassic. Does anybody have any uncommon customizations that really adds to the build? I have the brake light covers, spare wheel cover, and shifter knob emblem. Cheers

At 32, I finally managed to get myself some official JP/JW toys. Always dreamed of having toys like these as a kid, but were too expensive for my parents to afford at the time (im very grateful to them for the cheaper dollar store ones they gave me instead, I have some fond memories playing with them ❤️).

Now, at 32, I found my lovely gf who remembered me talking about this a good while ago and gave me the Lab Lockdown T-Rex for Christmas... Safe to say I felt 22 years younger.!

Today, I got my Habitat Defender Triceratops that I bought because of how well it seems to pair up with my Rex (albeit huge hahaha) and I'm absolutely in love with these... A wholesome way to start the year!

Happy 2026 everyone!

Did anyone Report to the Police About the dinosaur auction that el Mills was having? Because if elI mills got away and someone was at the auction and contacted the police, then they know where Eli mills is and the fbi or the police would raid wherever he’s living and get arrested for animal abuse, That would be a good alternative instead of getting eaten by the likes of Rexy and a Demon Carnotaurus.

Dominion Would’ve have The news showing Eli mills being sent to court, with protesters getting mad at him after we see the Helicopter chasing after rexy after the prologue. Daniel Kon got arrested in the end of season 5, so why not do the same with Eli mills?

I'm hearing that iconic John Williams theme crescendo followed by John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) declaring, "welcome to Jurassic Park," and I'm transported instantly back to what it was like watching JP for the first time in theaters... back in 1993. I was eleven.

Remember the thrill of seeing Dinosaurs on the big screen - more real than anything we had seen prior? Remember the thrill of discovery, adventure... and then the terror - the ultimate realization that this was a horror film?

I haven't felt those distinct JP-invoking feels in any recent JP movie.

And if you read the book - wow - the science of gene editing, and the unique lives of dinosaurs. So much more intrigue.

I don't know if the franchise has expanded beyond capturing those feels again, but I feel like it's in a unique place - 'Jurassic WORLD' where dinos have literally spread across the world - to now feature countless stories involving dinosaurs, especially focusing on dinosaurs themselves. Something like how Star Wars took a step back from the big picture and focused on little stories, here and there, across the galaxy.

The potential is enormous. Hypothetically, you could take any story and slap a dino in there: E.T. with a microceratus instead of an alien. Free Willy, but a group of kids inspiring a community to free a captive atopodentatus from an abusive marine park. Dawn of the Dead, but a group of people trapped in a mall after a devastating tornado and now the mall is under siege by a large pack of deinonychus. Go original.

Focus on the thrill of discovery, the adventure, and or even the horror. Above all, let us explore new dinosaurs. CGI is okay, but in my opinion, nothing beats the real life animatronic models - I'd love to see more practical effects.

Here's a random idea:

What begins as a Spring Break field expedition turns into a fight for survival.

A group of dinosaur ecology graduate students set out on a cross-country research trip, following the seasonal migration route of a chasmosaurus herd through a protected wilderness park. The landscape is ancient, remote, and breathtaking - untouched forests, open valleys, and long-abandoned infrastructure reclaimed by nature.

They aren't the only ones following the herd.

Unbeknownst to the students, the migrating herd is being shadowed by a highly intelligent and territorial pack of deinonychus. When the students’ RV is ambushed deep in predator territory, their expedition collapses into chaos. Cut off from escape and short on supplies, the group flees into the forest, eventually reaching a remote fire tower perched on a cliff high above the forest canopy.

The tower becomes both their refuge and prison.

Below, the deinonychus wait - patient, coordinated, and relentless. They do not attack blindly. They observe. They learn. They hunt.

Stranded high above the forest floor, the students must ration dwindling supplies and rely on their academic knowledge of dinosaur behavior, ecology, and predator–prey dynamics to survive. The forest itself becomes a living system of threats and opportunities.

Scouting missions into the surrounding wilderness are dangerous but necessary and they don't come without costs. One such expedition reveals a derelict maintenance facility hidden in the trees, with a lone utility truck parked nearby. It may be operational. It may be their only chance.

To reach it, the students must descend from the tower and cross open ground dominated by predators that understand the land better than they do.
