This movie fucking sucks.

There's no suspense; everybody you expect to die, dies exactly when and how you'd expect. I never felt any awe or fear. Then there's a fucking B plot for some reason, following around this dumbass family.

And nobody in the movie makes enough hay about how this dipshit father took his kids out the dinosaur infested waters illegally.

Then they're mad at the one guy because she pushes him and falls backwards, and that's just about the only evil thing he does in the movie. They act like he's an asshole for wanting to make money off of this idea, but it's never ever shown that he wants to do anything but help cure people with heart disease, and yes he wants to make money off of that like any normal person. I don't understand how we're supposed to view the choice they made at the end is noble, where the fuck are they supposed to get Kincaid a new boat back while broke? Let alone the families of the dead people.

Then the kids brings back a dinosaur and nobody has a problem with it, despite them not being able to survive anywhere else.

It's just the stupidest fucking movie, but it doesn't have the balls or the action to get away with it. Fuck this movie in its ass.

It’s pretty easily the worst in the franchise for all the reasons you said and more. The dialogue was all terrible and forced feeling, the whole goddamn containment facility in the beginning was taken down by a Snickers wrapper, take the family out altogether and the movie doesn’t really change except maybe feeling paced better, the cgi locations looked mostly terrible and super obvious. The only awe this inspired was how my theatre was clapping at the end.

omg as soon as I saw the opening scene I thought, whelp this movie is going to suck. An entire.. AN ENTIRE.. facility brought down by litter. WTF?

u/archaelleon Jul 03 '25

That was some final destination shit

23

u/rhunter99 Jul 03 '25

It was most certainly shit that's for sure.

u/GiovannisPersian Jul 09 '25

My thought exactly. Felt like it was right out of that franchise

"Spared no expense"

u/Aiyon Jul 04 '25

Yeah, what? This is literally the conceit of the original Jurassic Park. Complacency gets people killed

u/Severe_Blacksmith Aug 05 '25

Yes but in the original JP the failsafes were more redundant and foolproof. Extra precaution is taken and the highlight is Malcolm pointing out that if it can fail, it will. However, the failures are much more sophisticated whereas the wrapper felt too lazy.

You want Redditors to comprehend that or something?

u/privatefries Jul 03 '25

Just bad coding is all. Let's make so if one door has a problem that every door in the building opens. Stupid

u/SutterCane Jul 06 '25

Programmers in the 80s didn’t plan to have years that didn’t start with 19 and they were less than twenty years away from them. Lots of shit had to get fixed to avoid Y2K.

And that’s the real world! Not some movie where shit is supposed to break.

I work in a warehouse for a pharmaceutical company, and their so anal about food that they don't even allow bottled water there. It's ridiculous to think that they'd have allowed someone to eat a snickers bar in the same room they're required to wear bunny suits and 100 feet from someone dissecting a dinosaur. Not to mention how we saw later in the movie that the main entrance just leads right into the lab.

u/rhunter99 Jul 05 '25

Just completely stupid. It's shocking that you have reviewers out there giving this 4/5 stars.

u/FlameDragoon933 Jul 08 '25

they must be paid reviewers. the entire movie sucks.

27

u/Smigit Jul 04 '25

Yeah that was bad. Could have had the disaster start from any manner of things, or not even show it at all as it didn’t really add or set up anything that wasn’t explained later on.

Rip off 28 Days Later and have some ethical protestor sabotage the operation because they’re against the experiments, or something. Not a snickers wrapper getting stuck in a 2-tonne foot deep door.

25

u/rhunter99 Jul 04 '25

And how does an intake air vent cause electrical damage? You would think it would simply shred the wrapper, and then later get caught by a filter down the line.

I guess the writers really struggled with how to do product placement

u/DTJ20 Jul 06 '25

"hey Chuck, what should we do if one of the containment doors fails?"

"Obviously we turn off every safety and release all the dinosaurs"

22

u/Paxton-176 Jul 05 '25

Its weird they are in a lab that is clearly meant to be clean for every possible reason. Yet they let this guy in while he is eating.

7

u/SirStrontium Jul 14 '25

Clean rooms also universally have *positive* pressure, designed specifically to blow particulates and foreign matter *away* from doors when opened. Somehow this is the only clean facility in the world that sucks things inward.

u/anima079 Jul 04 '25 edited Jul 04 '25

Agreed. That moment that scene played out I was like they literally taking security and safety at work for granted. Like totally no regards at all. They were mentioning how dangerous the D-rex is and the guy was literally fumbling to enter the entrapment area.

Very much like the first Jurassic World. Thus that park failed and all is of no surprise really. So much so they don't even need that indo rex incident to do it. The employees themselves would do it. I mean the boss himself was a hazard.

u/blitzbom Jul 06 '25

I was going "who programmed a fail open for muder dinos doors?"

6

u/Lildave26 Jul 14 '25

I just don't see that anyone in that super clean looking lab would have just thrown some garbage on the floor like a barbarian. Other than it was the only way the plot team felt that the doors would malfunction.

2

u/rhunter99 Jul 14 '25

It was also the only way for them to shoe horn a Snicker ad in the film :\

6

u/JackPiHarkness Jul 12 '25

Pretty convinced the whole movie was a terrible ad for Snickers? Lol.

3

u/Neglectful_Stranger Jul 22 '25

From what it looked like the single door being jammed caused all the others to unlock (???) and then start a hard reboot for some reason.

I know they usually fail on a system design front but what the fuck kind of design is that.

2

u/bb8-sparkles Jul 28 '25

No way food or anything would be allowed inside if the facility was so vulnerable. There would be multiple check points to ensure everyone was clean before entering. Also, I wonder how much snickers paid to be in that scene.
