Review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) by Unreelreviews — 26 Jun 2018

Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom's biggest praise is that it rivals tension in its action scenes, almost as much as the first Jurassic Park. The visual effects and use of animatronics is handled really well making you feel more connected and convinced that the dinosaurs seem real.

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are good in the movie and it feels like their characters have more to do. However basically every supporting character sucks. Their even worse then they are in the first one.

Many will leave this film feeling very unsatisfied because it feels like a part one to a two part film. Characters make some very dumb decisions making you lose any support for them. The villains follow the very simple go to villain goal and that's to make money so they can become powerful.

Several strong elements in this movie, particularly the opening act feel rushed and we soon enter a very boring second act that doesn't offer us anything to grab attention to. The final act is fun and mildly entertaining, but it tries to take the movie into a different direction to set it up for a sequel in a very cliche way.

There are some surprising twists but they feel like their forced in their just for the sake of it as they dont better benefit or intrigue the plot. This was a disappointing movie, its not bad but could have been a lot better.
