Purely Joyful Movie!
Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Highly Overrated But Still Good
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
JURASSIC CITY is another mindless Z-grade B-movie designed to cash in on the release of JURASSIC WORLD. I was surprised that it wasn't made by The Asylum or the Sy Fy Channel. The story is preposterous and involves a secret military experiment that releases a horde of ravenous velociraptors into a prison currently inhabited by a bunch of bimbo characters and the usual one tough good guy. A number of characters are munched in bad CGI effect scenes while old-timers Ray Wise and Vernon Wells are there to run around in an attempt to convince you that a proper story is present. Protagonist Kevin Gage delivers the most laid back performance ever, never showing a trace of emotion even when confronting his own seeming death.
View More"Jurassic City" should be taken for what it is, which is a cash-in on the popular "Jurassic Park" franchise, complete with the fairly bad CGI dinosaurs and effects, as well as some wooden acting performances.The story is about a group of young fraternity girls being arrested for driving and driving. They are taken to a correctional Facility that apparently also holds a hardened serial rapist. A militant group brings a load of secret cargo to aforementioned Facility, but as the cargo breaks out, the Facility becomes the hunting grounds for predatory dinosaurs.A very generic, albeit implausible storyline with enough plot holes to make even a Swiss cheese jealous. And this is complimented by CGI animated dinosaurs that just weren't fully believable. They could have used a bit more money and effort of the CGI effects.The movie does have a couple of familiar faces on the cast list, just to lure in the audience because the semi-famous actors didn't have that big roles after all. I am, of course, talking about Ray Wise and Vernon Wells here. The overall acting in "Jurassic City" was as to be expected from such a movie; wooden, prehistoric and forgettable.All in all "Jurassic City" is not overly worth the time and effort, and there are far better movies in the same genre available.
View MoreWriting a review of this . . . uh . . . film is not quite as bad as watching it. And if I can save anyone else the pain that I went thru, then maybe it is worth it.Is it any good? No. Not at all.Acting OK? No. Not at all.Dinos rock? No. Not at all.Interesting story? A twist maybe? No and No.I have a soft spot for "b" movies, but I don't know what this is.Save your money and get something else. Anything.You might think I am being harsh or grandstanding. Believe me you will stop thinking this if you ever dare to contaminate your DVD with Jurassic City. Go for a walk instead.
View MoreI gave this movie a 2 only because it gave me an opportunity to look at Kevin Gage... if Kevin Gage had not been in this movie I would have turned it off after the first 15 minutes. There is plenty of female eye candy in this movie, I think they might have added those scenes after they realized the movie could not stand on the dinosaur dynamics alone. I am positive not very many people are going to say this is their favorite movie... not even in the top 10,000! But... if you are a Kevin Gage fan it might be worth a gander. I need 2 more lines of text - so I will just say there is some action in this movie, just not enough to make the movie interesting.
