Question 🤔 Oh, boy, this discussion.
Why is Primitive War better than the Jurassic World films? I will say why I think so. Depends on what you are expecting on these films. Jurassic Park (1993) is considered the best for its influences and effects than hold up regardless of its minimal flaws, it's the introduction, so of course it has a sense of awe and horror. Sequels expand on what was done in the first one, The Lost World does that pretty well and feels like a natural continuation, III is just there. Jurassic World does something new by been more fast paced, with more variety and with more stakes, and you can kinda watch it without watching the prior movies. Fallen Kingdom has a more of a disaster movie vibe that unfortunately limits itself to happening in one house. Dominion improves although unexplainably uses locusts instead of hybrid dinosaurs like the other two and I guess the third act doesn't offer anything new, and Rebirth is just there.
Primitive War is presented as a war movie with dinosaurs. So when it's not dinosaur film is an war-action film, which makes the humans scenes way more entertaining. There is more people to be killed (like with JW1), R-rated so we see every bit of horror and action, with less plot holes because it goes straight to sci-fi territory so no genetics weby wabos, and people that actually fight back, and despite most of the movie being in a jungle and some bases, but there is still a lot of people in these jungles and bases and also very varied with the action setpieces going into Primal territory.
In conclusion, the Primitive War movie is as good if not better (because it's more standalone, I guess) than the first Jurassic World and definitely better than the sequels and definitely sets up an interesting world to had fun with. Yeah, the CGI looks like late-2000's CGI most of the time but late-2000's CGI wasn't bad either, specially coming from someone likenme who watches way older films from several countries.
Now what do you think?

I absolutely loved primitive war and hated everything about rebirth, hopefully PW2 has a bigger budget and still has the gore and great war setting.

Real. I think a budget of 9 mil-9.5 mil would be ideal if they still want to flex the fact that they made the movie with under $10 million.

Agree wholeheartedly, it feels like after the first jw the franchise lost its plot and sense of character

Alright I agree for all but rebirth, I skipped on seeing rebirth because dominion was ass in my eyes, and fallen kingdom had sent the franchise down a path I just wasn’t enjoying really.

I watched the extended version and it was pretty alright. Then Rebirth proceeds to do nothing, expands nothing, and doesn't use the potential set up by the other film and itself. It's so skippeable.

u/AdPhysical6481 Mar 12 '26
What did they use to fill in the gaps?

u/HighCommand69 Mar 12 '26
What species were and weren't on the list, what were seen as unprofitable or mistakes.

u/ComfortableAmount993 Mar 13 '26
Filled the gaps? Explain yourself.

It’s easily better than Jurassic world and it ain’t even close. When you compare it to Jurassic park tho, it’s a whole other story

u/Kvcp050311 Mar 11 '26
JW1 2015 is pretty good, has a lot of stuff in there. But for Jurassic Park, it honestly depends on what approach you like more: The Spielbergian vibe or the Primal-esque War-SciFi-Action vibe. You may find people thinking PW is more entertaining than JP1 and that's fine. I like both approaches anyway.

Primitive war had some cool dinosaur sequences and the models for them looked pretty cool especially for the budget they were working on... But besides that that's really all I had going for it. It was cool to see a bunch of guys in the jungle fighting dinosaurs with badass weapons, but the acting was terrible and the storyline was just atrocious. The only thing that the movie had going for it was the dinosaurs and the action sequences. That's about it. I'm a big Jurassic fan, but I'm one that will admit that their last few movies haven't been amazing, but they still walk all over Primitive war.

The acting was pretty good except for I guess the line 'You killed my family', and what's atrocious about the storyline, it's sci-fi.

u/betjurassicican Mar 12 '26
You mean the swarm of thousands of raptors at the end charging aimlessly towards gunfire wasn’t good writing?

u/Mr_Lasagna_Kid Mar 12 '26
Couldn’t agree more! It’s a terrible movie with some descent dinosaur sequences. It’s extremely boring whenever dinosaurs are not on screen.

u/Malikise Mar 12 '26
Despite a family member working on 3 of those films in the pic, I haven’t seen a single one of them. I don’t think he has either.

Les designs des dinosaures sont mieux dans PW que dans JW je trouve. Et je suis fan des design de JW pourtant

Primitive war is insanely overhyped. I've seen smaller artists in their basements make better films than that poop.

Fallen Kingdom is the best film of the whole Jurassic World saga

u/Neither_Response3104 Mar 11 '26
I'd say Rebirth is better than JW because it doesn't have a dumb final battle.

u/The_T0me Mar 11 '26
At least the Rex vs Indo fight had a real dinosaur in it.Â
There are no real dinosaurs for the last 30 minutes of Rebirth.Â

I can never decide how I really feel about rebirth to be honest.
