Review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) by Flexedacorn — 24 Jun 2018

From a person who grew up loving Dinosaurs and seeing all the Jurassic park movies, this movie felt average to me. Maybe it is because it is the 6th installment, but it just felt lackluster and missing some of the magic of the other films.

I thought the movie was enjoyable, but a forgettable installment. What worked very well in the original Jurassic park film was the feeling of helplessness that the human’s characters had compared to the dinosaurs.

There was an overwhelming sense of dread when being hunted by the carnivores. This movie did try to capture some of those tense moments, and some scenes did pay off. The true issue is that the constant tonal shifts between action and thriller made diminished those scenes that were meant to be scary.

Overall if you are a fan of the films then it might benefit you to see it in theater with the big screen format and nice surround sound audio. Personally if you are on the fence, I would wait until home video to rent.
