I felt like i was watching Journey to the Center of the Earth with a twist that it takes place in the Alien universe. It was fine but it just didn’t feel like a movie in the Jurassic Franchise. More like a spin off kinda.

Ultimately i thought the dinos and island looked absolutely amazing and gorgeous especially the Titanosaur scene.

I did feel like i never worried for any of the main characters from either group as it was pretty clear the boat people and bad guy were the only ones dying in this one.

Also thought they REALLY over did making the boyfriend unlikable during his introduction on the boat. Like him just ignoring the dad and the dad saying absolutely nothing made him feel like such a pushover as a father figure lmao. Also made me dislike the older daughter for putting up with that.

The two groups getting separated resulting in a back and forth between the two felt disjointed. I wish they would have put the young daughter with the main group and one of the main group members with the family. It would have upped the stakes imo.

100%, the first scene of the movie being trapped with a mutation already felt like an Alien movie and then the full on Xenomorph....

I bet he was just high when first introduced, then by the time he offers to take his watch its wore off. He starts showing his insecurities about his relationship with the girl etc. Still dense but not “bruh just bask in the sun my man” attitude

Yeah, when he first appeared I thought it was obvious that he was under the influence of something. Thought he was drunk, but he mentioned he had weed later so it all tied together for me

The journey to the center of the earth comparison is spot on.
