I just saw this trailer in the theater, and noticed that they used the song from Black Mirror. I mean I get that the song is public domain, but I was still fairly shocked that they would use it, with it being so closely associated with that show. Maybe Bryce Dallas Howard suggested it.
So did anyone actually see the movie?
It’s…quite a bit better than the first Jurassic World, which I thought was absolutely forgettable.
In fact, the final 45 minutes or so of this one were, dare I say it…good. I mean, how many times can these dinosaurs attack people? They found a way to make it pretty tense and fun. I’m downright impressed with the final 45 minutes.
The first hour was less interesting. A couple neat things, but not much of worth.
With hindsight, I basically hated the first Jurassic World. A definite D or D-.
This was a C+ if I’m being strict, a solid B if I’m being generous. The last 45 minutse was a definite B or B+. The opening really pulls this movie down.
I’d rank the JP movies:
- Jurassic Park - the only truly great one.
- Jurassic World 2 - hey, it’s the best sequel
- Jurassic Park: The Lost World
- Jurassic Park 3
- Jurassic World
I enjoyed it. They found a new way for us to root for the dinosaurs. A solid summer popcorn movie.
I thought it was rather dull. I am quite proud of myself for not shouting out “NO DEAL!” in the theater during one scene. You’ll understand when you see it.
For me, it was too much good v evil people and not enough dinosaurs being scary.
It was something to watch on a Sunday afternoon with my kids. Luckily, the first Jurassic World was on TV afterwards, and we got to laugh at how stupid all the people in it acted.
I could not disagree with you more Mahaloth. Jurassic World was a great straightforward action movie. This one was a slow, confusing mess with not nearly enough actual dinosaurs. The only way they can track dinosaurs is with Claire’s handprint? The dino hunters are going to flat out murder 3 or 4 people instead of just taking them back and telling them “thanks for the help?” They’ve actually perfected human cloning, but don’t bother going after the billions you could make from that?
I did like the dig at Trump on the newsticker though - “President doubts whether dinosaurs even existed in the first place.”
I liked it , but I agree the start was slow. Pretty much the same as the first movie.
Bryce Dallas Howard alone is worth the ticket price. Just so sexy. I guess she looks like her mother. 
It was fun and entertaining and I never got bored, but boy was it stupid.
The bad guys were all excited about banking over 100 million at their auction and all I could think about was how the fancy lighting and cage on a track system in the auction room probably cost that much. Not to mention the entire cost of equipment and labor for extracting them off the island in the first place. The operating costs had to run into the biilions.
And the old man never noticed any noise when they were building a massive industrial expansion off the back of his house?
And what was the purpose of letting the dinos escape at the end? So the state and federal authorities can spend millions exterminating them anyways?
Yeah, a lot of fun, but crazy dumb.
The post-credits scene… Will there be a dino confrontation at the buffet?
A drugged Chris Pratt can miraculously shamble and stagger faster than lava, and everyone else can outrun pyroclastic flow?
The dino lab has improbable amounts of dangerous gases.
All of the control systems are designed by monkeys. There should be absolutely no intelligence in a keypad. Press 3773# and the pad sends the codes for 3773# down the wire for a controller to interpret. There should be no way for the pad to send an actual lock/unlock/start/stop/etc. signal, regardless of how hard something may hit it.
At least they did keep one of the original visual jokes involving car mirrors.
I think it was Toy Story 2 that used the same gag, with Rex.
