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.

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!

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.

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.

All the Jurassics have the same exact plot. You either like like them or you don’t. I enjoy them. The latest is more of the same. I hate Star Trek and Star wars. To each his own.

They're fun movies and I don't detect to much liberal Horseshit! I don't know what “Fresh Idea” Reed is expecting. More than likely a reference to how Donald Trump is destroying the planet and Hillary was screwed!!!

I hate to admit it, but I really enjoyed the movie. I give it a 3 out of 4.

That said, I get why critics are bashing it so mercilessly. It has a great premise,decent characters, great special effects, intense atmosphere, suspense...

But it has some unbelievably stupid plot holes and dumb character decisions in the final act. They didn’t sink the movie for me, but would for other people.

It deserves points for ambition but not execution. Still loved it as a thoroughly entertaining if sloppy dinosaur adventure movie (though it had potential for greatness).

No. No! Don’t extinguish the Jurassic Part series yet.

Not until after we get one that’s 3D with T-Rexes swallowing the audiences, with drool coming down from the theater ceilings. (Yeah, the drool part won’t make it to the TV screens, but still...)

Speaking of Jurassic Park caused me to momentarily recall my EX-wife and her mom.

I frequently ask God to restore to me those years I lost.
