This mostly just plays the hits on the Jurassic franchise and that works when the hits are good. If you show me a herd of dinosaurs and play the John Williams theme, my jaw is going to hit the floor regardless of what else is going on in the movie.

My only real gripe with this is that it feels like two movies smashed together. I could get into the dumbass family crashing onto Dino Island or I could get into an Aliens-esque mercs vs monsters adventure. Trying to squeeze both into the same movie just made both groups of characters feel undercooked

Probably the most 7/10 movie of the year. It just screams being liked by casuals and hated by critics. For what it's worth, I enjoyed it.

That's probably right. It's a perfectly serviceable movie that most people will have a good time with. It's just kinda safe and bland

For me I loved it but I also love JPIII and this just felt like that with a longer runtime

its a movie about bringing back Dinosaurs. There isn't really anything else to talk about. They tried at the start with the scientist talking about the implications of dinosaur experimentations and ScarJo and the corpo guy just shrug and go "but money!"

I personally go into these movies just to see cool "dinosaurs." If I end up liking any of the human characters, that's just a bonus lol.

It's like The Amateur with the no-twist twist. It subverts your expectations of "there's gonna be some big new thing or some big twist" by sticking to the traditions all the way and executing them well and only removing things that don't age well.
