Chris Pratt is in it. He’s a relatively good guy.

“Most sequels, prequels and remakes have some vague reason for justifying their existence. Not the Jurassic Park-Jurassic World franchise. They just keep on coming for no other purpose than to cash in on a proven formula marketed for undemanding audiences who just can’t get enough of T-Rexes and flying pterodactyls, and are always willing to plunk down more hard-earned money...”

Because they make money. They make money because a lot of people enjoy them.

Whiny artsy dude should just...

Don’t like it, don’t watch it. Same as all the other movies.

Chris Pratt is a devout Christian. One of the few in that rotten town.

I really loved the first one, hated the sequel and never saw another one.

The last Jurassick Park movie I saw in its entirety was the 2nd one. And don’t think I’ve watched the original all the way through in a couple of decades.

Absolutely stupidest movie of the summer, and that’s saying a lot. I took my nephews to see it, being ignorant of all the PC, cliche crap that fills it from start to finish. Diverse good guys/gals vs evil militaristic white villains, one of whom snarls at one point, “what a nasty woman!”. Rule of thumb, if you’re rooting for the villain, it’s a bad movie!

Chris Pratt, there’s no ‘relatively’ about it. He’s a straight up good guy.

But the movie sucks in script and plot. Great special effects, sharp 3D, but disjoint action, roller coaster of one nauseating climax to another.

I couldn’t wait to get out of the theatre.

But my kid and his friend loved it, so I smiled and went along.

Afterward, spent a small fortune on Johnny Rockets. That made it all worth it.

I’m about the same. The first one was fun. The rest were just meh.

But, lots of people like them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t make boatloads of cash for their producers.

Whiny dude was just whiny. Probably because the movie doesn’t ask the “hard questions” or some leftard artsy fartsy crap?

You know how they are.

So what "new" lol variation of sex murder and power is this movie about?

Too predictable to get another nickle from me.

Rex Reed is an aging queen. Who cares about his opinion. On the other hand, by the time you get to a 3rd or 4th sequel, the movies usually stink.

Chris: “God is Real”

He certainly slapped a few libs with this acceptance speech.

Precisely why I will see this movie. Much respect for Pratt.

They’ll keep making more sequels if people keep buying tickets (especially overseas).

From what I’ve seen the special effects are spectacular and the awareness of what volcanoes do is spectacularly stupid. Ditto about the logical ramifications of being around lava and other ejecta.

Lava is HOT. Pyroclastic flows are pretty darn close to being hit with superheated shrapnel.

If lava is, for example, flowing into an enclosed space in any but small quantity the critters in that space aren’t running around trying to eat fleeing humans ... they may be in the beginning stages of being cooked alive! Even before then they’ll be trying to escape rather than eat and probably follow humans into what may feel like an open oven.

It’s cringe worthy thermodynamics on display.

Hollywierd: technical competence and appaling storycraft ... like managing to spill your soda onto a pile of napkins ... efficient but still a spilled drink.
