Can you settle a very heated family dispute?

Are you lot insane?! Will Smith? In a uniform? Dinosaurs, schminosaurs ...........

CookieMonsterCrumbs · 28/12/2014 17:27

Jurassic park!! I am not a fan of independence day. Will Smith gets on my tits.

Literally can't wait for the new one!

CookieMonsterCrumbs · 28/12/2014 17:31

And isn't Jeff Goldblum in both films?

JP is dated. No feathers on the raptors????

ID is not dated, as no aliens have yet attacked.

The virus on the alien computer is just as unlikely as resurrecting dinosaurs.

IHeartChristmasMoomies · 28/12/2014 17:42

I love them both. But I'm going to say ID is better as I'm a sucker for anything with aliens!

specialsubject · 28/12/2014 17:52

ID is full of nauseating Americanisms and incredibly bad acting. Just another forgettable Yank disaster movie.

if you can watch the appearance of the first dinosaurs in JP without tingles down the spine, you are an alien. JP does have the flaw in that the kids aren't eaten in the first five mins, but otherwise is excellent and memorable.

Still human, but after a few times I completely lost the tingles. :)
Does that mean Will Smith will come for me? Grin

Independence Day.

I do remain to be convinced however that an alien invasion fleet would be coordinated by a single server running Windoze. I can't think how else the system would let him do what he did.

Jurassic Park wins by a mile.

Fab music.

Surprise! It's brontosauruses! shot.

Doof doof doof ripples in the water glass.

Velociraptors in the kitchen scene.

I'm struggling to remember any awesome scenes in Independence Day. Does a Will Smith punch an alien. It was deeply bobbins that film.

hugoagogo · 28/12/2014 19:47

Jurassic park obv. The squeaky little dinosaurs that spit are excellent.

Independence day is ridiculous shit.

Hello, with the OP’s kind permission we’re sweeping this thread into our Movies topic.

ohmymimi · 29/01/2015 15:58

Jurassic Park, hands down, by a knockout, no contest - heavens to Betsey, it's got velociraptors that can open doors. Anyway, I'll take dinos over Will Smith any day.

curiousgeorgie · 30/01/2015 23:51

Jurassic Park.

No question.

ThatBloodyWoman · 30/01/2015 23:54

Jurassic Park.

I badly want to see Jurassic World.

rootypig · 30/01/2015 23:57

Jurassic Park. And you should be ashamed of yourself for even asking.

Anyone watching? Did you enjoy watching Will Smith punching an alien? Have I won anyone over to the "Independence Day is miles better" camp?

Yes watching! Started a thread in chat and no responses.

Hassled · 11/04/2015 20:53

It's the clash with BGT probably. So - better than Jurassic Park?

OP posts:
Lardylassnomore · 11/04/2015 20:56

Yes far better

Nolim · 11/04/2015 20:59

Jp is good. Id is not.

Lardylassnomore · 11/04/2015 21:06

You're wrong nolim
