Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom looks to be the end of the dinos as a volcano on their island nears an extinction level eruption, one so powerful that some may hope it puts an end to this revived franchise and it’s maddeningly regurgitated story line from Jurassic World to rest once and for all.
Men want to weaponize the dinosaurs. People are dumb. And Blue is there to save the day… again.
Where would that poor Owen (Chris Pratt) be without his bro-miga raptor Blue? Not in this film apparently. Because of the island impending doom, Owen is recruited by his one time main squeeze Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) to save Blue and other pre-historic animals of the past to a new relocation retreat. Away from fences, tourist and DNA geneticist engineers.
So of course that’s not going to happen.
Instead the animals become prized auction items to the who’s who of black-market baddies. A Noah’s ark full of violent, carnivorous and genetically modified animals on the mainland. . . What can go wrong?
It’s not necessarily the T-rex devouring people on the streets of San Diego but yeah, shit goes down.
You watch because it’s somewhat entertaining but never was I in fear for the characters or had that sense of thrill outside the first 5-minute segment of the film.
There’s nothing really new here. The new batch of sidekicks are instantly forgettable and even the charismatic Chris Pratt wasn’t on his game for this one.
It wasn’t a good film and despite of that I cannot wait for the next installment to come.
Really, I’m excited.
This movie wasn’t made for itself but as a vessel to carry the next set of films to where us as fans all want to see it go. Haven’t you ever wondered “what if dinosaurs walked amongst us?”
Lets just say the title Fallen Kingdom isn’t necessary talking about the dinosaurs.
If you’re looking for a good summer blockbuster don’t look here. Go see Infinity War, Deadpool 2 or Rampage instead.
