Looking at the votes and the comments, I think you guys accidentally held a "Chris Pratt VS Tom Hardy" deathmatch here ;)
Indianapolis, IN
I voted for Jurassic World, but honestly I'm excited for all of these. The most important reason is that my wife has agreed to go and see this movie with me. As a father and a husband it is very difficult to get out and see movies with my wife, and on top of that she and I have vastly different needs when it comes to movies. I will pretty much watch anything, she will only watch those that have happy endings. While Jurassic World will probably not have your typical happy ending, I think that the nostalgia of the first film is why she is willing to watch this with me. That and our son is totally into dinosaurs, hence we are into dinosaurs even more so when we were nine when the first Jurassic Park came out. And honestly I think she may have a little crush on Chris Pratt.
I voted for Mad Max because Tom Hardy is nearly alway (yes I know "This means War" exists! I said almost) interesting to watch in things. And I am precisely the generation that SHOULD be nostalgic about those. But quite frankly, I don't really care about any of them. I would much rather watch interesting new ideas then wallow in the pond of how much better/simpler/more honest/easier etc. things were back when I was younger!
Am I the only one who is too young to have nostalgia for any of these movies ? If it weren't for the fact that I recently took care of some science-fiction and Spielberg blind spots I would not have watched any of the original versions of these. I'll be glad if the reboots turn out to be good, but to be frank, I really could not care less about any of them.
And yes, I know Chris Pratt is in there somewhere, and no, that is still not enough to make me excited.
Vacation, because I gotta go with the comedy. Mad Max looks pretty cool. Jurassic World looks exactly like Jurassic Park but with bigger CGI dinosaurs. I don't see why I should bother when I could just get out the DVD of the original, have the same experience and save a few quid.
Other. Always have an other. Not because there is another one that I am really excited for but because none of these really peak my interest. I was said when I heard some of the plot developments of Jurassic world (no spoilers I promise). Never a fan of the Vacation movies, and to go with that not a fan of Chevy chase. My hopes were dashed by the terminator series with terminator 3 and neither Emilia Clarke or Matt Smith (I love GoT and DW) can earn it back. Never saw the original Mad Max, which apparently I have to remember, and they just need to stop with horror reboots in general. So after saying all of this, I guess I will be voting for Mad Max because, you know, Tom Hardy, but also because the original director is coming back so I have to believe it will be he most like its original film. Rant over.
Thank God Tom Hardy lives to act another day!!
Jurassic Park is my favorite movie of all time. So when I heard they were giving us a fully operational park where dinosaurs get loose I was immediately intrigued. Add in Chris Pratt who I am a huge fan of and am very happy that he is getting some big time recognition after his role as Andy in the magnificent Parks and Recreation starting with Guardians of the Galaxy and continuing with Jurassic World you can sign me up. Having said that my expectations are tempered and I know that it probably won't be that great, and definitely not the best offered on the list (that honor has to go to Mad Max). However, my lack of familiarity of the Mad Max movies, my nostalgia for Jurassic Park and my love of Christ Pratt puts Jurassic World as my most anticipated Summer Reboot of 2015.
Weirdly, I have nostalgia for none of these. I've seen none of the originals apart from Terminator and T2, and I saw both for the first time just a year or two ago. But Fury Road looks like the one with the best chance of continuing the legacy of the original films.
OK, even of Chevy Chase is making a cameo in Vacation, please don't reboot it.
I may see a couple of these because it will be summertime in Arizona and the theaters have air conditioning, but , for the most part, these are movies that no one outside of a board room wanted (with the possible exception of Chevy Chase's agent). Mad Max is the only franchise here that presents a world developed enough that there is room to explore; that, combined with a good cast and director, makes it the only one that inspires any excitement.
I was too young to see Jurassic Park when it came out, but it was broadcast on TV at some point and I found that I could sit at the bottom of the stairs, peek around the corner and catch most of it while my parents sat on the couch with their backs turned. It had it all: dinosaurs, swearing, Samuel L. Jackson's bloody stump of an arm, more than one poop joke, Laura Dern, the list goes on. When I hear "nostalgia," I think Jurassic Park.
But I voted for Mad Max without a second thought 'cause I got them Mad Max trailers on repeat. Constant, y'all.
I picked Jurassic World, because the first film is so intrinsically tied to my childhood (that's right Filmspotters, envy my youth — envy I say!) and because Chris Pratt as a rakish leading man is something of which I'm not yet wary.
Mad Max is going to run away with this, and with good reason, but I want to stick up for Terminator Genisys. Given the fact that every reboot is greeted with hysterical fans of the original freaking out about the original film being 'ruined', I like the idea of a reboot LITERALLY going back and ruining the original. The idea of Old Arnold fighting Young Arnold has an undeniable meta-significance. Call me crazy, but I'm confident that Terminator Genisys will be a better reboot than people are expecting it to be.
Which of all these reboots is the only one with the same writer and director as the originals? FURY ROAD... All the other reboots can't even compare. Maybe I'm hyping it up too much, but I'm a huge fan of the Mad Max franchise. I totally understand people not being as into the first Mad Max and/or thinking Beyond Thunderdome is too ridiculous, but the Road Warrior is hands down one of the best action movies of all time. I love it so much and I can't wait to see Fury Road.
But seriously, I'm pretty glad Mel Gibson isn't coming back for it. There is no way he could be in that character's shoes again without totally ruining the movie.
The smart money says Mad Max will be the better movie, but I don't have any real nostalgia for Mad Max. In fact, I've only seen the original and left pretty underwhelmed. Watching Agent Burt Macklin visit the amusement park of every child's dream, on the other hand? One ticket to Jurassic World please.
Five movies enter. One movie leaves!
Mad Max, even though I've been a (much) bigger fan of nearly all of the other franchises in my day. I've even got a giddy suspicion that some of them - Jurassic Park and Terminator, in particular - could buck cynical convention and be good. Fury Road gets my vote, though, because although the road to Summer Glory has been well-paved by dinosaurs, cyborgs, and haunted houses, I love the idea of George Miller crashing the party with a scrappy new installment of what has always been a dressed-up midnight movie series (even when it featured Tina Turner in earrings made from Slinkies). How refreshing to think that a dusty saga about men wearing unlikely combinations of thongs, butoh makeup, chaps and hockey gear could rise from the nuclear ashes and steal everyone's thunder.
I have to go with Mad Max. I remember hearing Roger Ebert's review of The Road Warrior on At the Movies (or was it Sneak Previews) and thought it sounded awesome. Now I was only 8 at the time so I couldn't talk my parents into taking me, so I had to wait until I saw it on the Movie Channel a year later, but it just blew me away. It instantly became one of thse iconic movies from my childhood.
I must say that I also love the movie Vacation. I can't tell you how many times I have seen it over the years. My problem with it is that I don't want to see it remade. It also holds a special place in my childhood because it reminds of my own family (well, sort of) and is one of my dad's favorite movies. Maybe the reboot will be great, but no one can say "You'll be whistling 'Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah' out of your assholes!" like Chevy Chase.
This is rough. If Fury Road is half as good as those trailers suggest, it will be hard to find something more exciting this year.
BUT
Jurassic Park is my Star Wars. I was four, soon to be five, when it came out, and I was already a dinosaur nut. I learned to read because I was impatient waiting for my mom to be done helping my baby sister so she could read to me, so I taught myself to read my dinosaur books myself. My parents collected all the McDonalds cups for me, all the toys they could find. It was THE event movie for me then, and still to a large extent now. So, yeah, Jurassic World's what I'm looking forward to most. We'll see how that anticipation is rewarded soon enough.
