I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This was so bad that I actually felt sad for all the actors. Terrible lines, acting diabolical and didn't the director see any of his early shots and do something about it? Unbelievable!!!

1/4After Jurassic World (2015), I was lead to believe that it was meant to provide clarity and closure to a series desperate for some rest. Unfortunately for people (like myself) who are a little weary of the dinos' antics at this point, it turns out that they never closed the gape. After deciding to give it a fair chance, I buy my ticket.The plot of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is simple: we need to come to the dinos' aids. Their natural habitat is imploding, and America steps up to save them. They pull the rug out from under it's predecessors as far as action, and shatter the vase of originality. The "pod dangling" sequence was taken straight from Lost World, and the ending shot was used in Jurassic World. Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt give good preformances, but it can't save a falling kingdom.For me, the ending (and it's respective "twist") is when Fallen Kingdom goes from bad to awful. Given the examples Jurassic Park set for all proceeding franchise installments, there is only SO MUCH of reality that the series will let you suspend. Fallen Kingdom sprints past it's limitations so guiltlessly. When the dinos are turned into war machines of mass destruction and auctioned off at the end, and then you find out that a character is a machine (Too obviously like Ash from Alien (1979)), you want to jump out of your seat. Every sci-fi cliché, no matter how unfitting, is touched upon here.This was a total cash-out on the series, which stinks for fans of the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. Then, there's always the fact that (another) sequel is implied at the end. Clutch tight to your wallets in 2021!

Same genetic modification, same sort of bad guys trying to sell off the creatures. Yawn..

I'm not sure I can recall a movie so disappointing. Every step of the film is utterly predictable. From the clichéd plot that could've been ripped right from a Disney channel movie, to the 2 dozen "close calls" where things would just miraculously fall all around our heroes and the obvious moments Blue would come to the rescue. The villain is easily identified before the "twist". Wow, it's the old, white, gruff military man, backed by greedy capitalists. Bold choice. Accordingly, none of the characters have any depth to speak of. You'll also be greeted with boring feminist quips I have to assume were thrown in to appease people after the reports that Chris Pratt was paid so much more than Bryce Dallas Howard. It boggles the mind that a production with a budget nearing $200 million has such a boring and clichéd plot.
