Given that the dinosaur movie genre (in general) is largely dormant--or terrible--since Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park in 1993--it's not surprising that I had always wanted to someday make my own dinosaur movie--whether it be a nature experience movie that takes viewers back in time to the time when dinosaurs roamed the earth or a big Hollywood dinosaur-themed action adventure fantasy, but I also think my own dinosaur movie may also be the kind of dinosaur movie that most of Hollywood these days--A Hollywood now obsessed with zombies, giant fighting robots, comic book-derived superheroes, fantasy races or monsters, and the like--would run many miles away from, especially if:

1) My own dinosaur movie may not be based on a comic book, or a video game or a novel.

2) My own dinosaur movie may not launch a multi-million dollar blockbuster franchise.

And

3) My own dinosaur movie may have very much a WHOLE LOT more in common with--or perhaps be some kind of cross between--Stanley Kubrick's serious minded science fiction epic 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Walt Disney's ambitious experimental anthology movie Fantasia (1940) (Most precisely the dinosaur-themed part of The Rite of Spring segment), and Genndy Tartakovsky's Emmy Award Winning Samurai Jack two-parter, Samurai Jack: The Birth of Evil Part 1 and Part 2 (2003) (aka Episode 37 and 38 of Samurai Jack)--certainly as far as pure cinematic storytelling that has mostly visuals and music and sound as well as little to no dialogue or narration--rather than the escapist fantasy of Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park (1993) and/or the child-friendly fantasy of Don Bluth's The Land Before Time (1988).

And that's what I wanted someday for a dinosaur movie of my own--whether it be a nature experience movie set in the dinosaur era or a big Hollywood dinosaur-themed action adventure fantasy.

Or maybe it is just me.

But anyway, my question is:

Would the dinosaur movie genre be saved from dormancy?

And would the dinosaur movie genre finally be given true credibility (as well as depth and subtext) especially outside Jurassic Park?

There should be a major-budgeted documentary with upgraded computers.

Jurassic Park is pretty much the best we'll get for a dinsosaur movie.

It's not going to be cheap to do. Any story will be difficult to do.

10,000 BC was a fun film. Probably more than inaccurate.
But what are you gonna do?

Ice Age were neat little movies, albeit animated.
Live action would be nearly an impossible feat without making it look like crap.

Syfy will be more than happy to make a dinosaur movie in a large scale like Sharknado fame.

The script would have to be rewritten several hundred times until everyone's just exhausted and out of time and sticks with whatever is left on the table.

Luis Guzm�n will take lead role (because he did Journey to the Center of the Earth sequel so he has dinosaur experience).

Outside of Jurassic Park, it will not be easy or very uplifting.

Unless they remake the classics or pump out those Journey sequels, it'll probably stay dormant.
And, for good reason.

The newest Jurassic Park movie coming out may do well.
I'll still see it and talk smack about it until I fall in love with it, become obsessed and say it's better than the first movie (the 3D version, not the 2D version; the 3D had too much image skewing to get the parallax right for the 3D processing, total bs).

It's easy to sit there and use your imagination about what kind of scenery and shots you would love to see in a dinosaur movie.
You can talk a great deal about what would be nice and make it believable.

Except Hollywood don't work like that. Ever.
They're hellbent on ruining everyone's lives, dreams and hopes.

See, they have thoughts, too. Their's is what matters most since they:
1) thought of it first before someone spoke out loud to their face.
2) they have all the money to control all the directors and producers they need for their "dreams".
3) they're assholes.

I see on IMDb they got more Journey to the Center of the Earth sequels claimed by blank pages, so there's more dinosaur-y things to look forward to (aside from JP4) until they produce a new dinosaur project.

Maybe if everyone goes to see JP4 in theaters and buys it on BD/DVD, they'll milk that theme and create more dinosaur movies.
Probably, we'll have to sit through a Flintstones remake/reboot/recrap before we finally sift our way to a uniquely entertaining dinosaur movie.
And a new trilogy to JP and a new trilogy to JttCotE. And other classics-turned-reboot.

Sooner or later, someone with the right premise for a script, the right contacts, the right timing will get their script passed around, bought, stripped and rewritten and produced into a major production that's genuinely enjoyable.

But, we'll have a long time to wait for that to happen.
So, in the mean time, I'll wait for JP4 and JttCotE since it's the most we'll get any time soon.

I think they already did that with Dinotasia - it's essentially a feature-length edit of Dinosaur Revolution from Discovery Channel. Minimal narration (provided by acclaimed film director Werner Herzog) and the animals' behavior onscreen speaks for itself. Check it out when you have the time.

Dinotasia is pretty lame compared to the actual revolution series though. They were going to do a good docu. Walking With Dinosaurs was supposed to be realistic, no humans, no talking animals. But at the last minute, the studio chickened out and added the voices. Such a shame. I could almost not care about the story details if they's just do the damn dinosaur right. As actual animals, with animal behaviors that make even a modicum of sense. For kicks, use representations of the critters that mirror the, you know, real thing. None of the dinosaurs needs to built up or enhanced or exaggerated to make them impressive or scary. They do that just by being, ya know? None of this leaving a nice meaty carcass behind to chase 4 teeny pink apes across an entire island, just cause. If you make the animals realistic, resembling the actual dino and behaving in a naturalistic manner, the rest of the storie's framing could hang on that. Meh, never happen.
