masonfisk - 10 June 2024 DINOSAURS UNDONE BY A POOR SCRIPT...! The latest, the sixth by count, in the series which began way back in 1993. Following up on the events of Fallen Kingdom where the large & scaly ones now roam the Earth w/o abandon, we find our heroes, Dallas Bryce Howard & Chris Pratt, together w/their new clone of a charge, Isabella Sermon, as they try to corral the beastly creatures & shuffle them off to safer climes while a new billionaire, Campbell Scott (modeled after Apple's Tim Cook my viewing partner remarked), who has a preserve in Europe where he's also doing the Lord's work keeping the Jurassics in check but no sooner does the appearance of all this philanthropic activity rear its head, evil shenanigans begin w/the appearance of oversized locusts attacking a farm in spitting view of one of Scott's factories where no harm has come to it. Lo & behold the revelation that the beneficial conglomerate has something to do w/it comes as no surprise to no one except the people on screen who by film's end have to right the wrongs & let the wild ones roam. W/the supposed added benefit of having the original Jurassic Park stars back in action (Sam Neill, Laura Dern & Jeff Goldbloom), the film is clock a block full of action & dino mayhem but what it lacks is a coherent script & an unjustified need to have all these returning players when they could've used the newer characters (DeWanda Wise, Dichen Lachman & Mamoudou Athie) to craft something maybe different (especially since the notion of human DNA manipulation tied to dinosaurs has been introduced). Billed the last in the series (I bet!), I wonder if they'll try something truly new when the inevitable follow up comes a calling in a few years.
AndyCaosLock - 26 April 2024 Very silly film, gets better as it goes. I nearly gave up early on but stuck with it, once I had got used to just how silly it was though I started to enjoy it.
The Dinosaurs do seem to have the advantage over the humans on the brains front though. I had to wonder if the script might have been a little better if the large beasties had of been given some kind of writing role.
There does seem to be some reluctance to shoot dinosaurs, I would have thought this was the way to go when the crafty little devils are trying to eat you. Tazers seem to be the weapon of choice though, best to get close up and personal I guess, give them a sporting chance and all that.
Suspend all belief, marvel at the awful script and cheer the dinosaurs on. 5 stars.
