Time Comment
3:37 Seems over the top that the entire system shut down just because the door wouldn’t shut.
8:18 “They may be through with us but we’re not through with them.”
12:11 Are they real dinosaurs? I’ve never heard of them but then I’m still on T-Rex’s.
17:53 Another ten million, just like that.
26:22 It’s the Lincoln Lawyer!
32:22 Big Jaws energy right now.
40:45 “So we already found it?” “No, it found us.”
50:37 He just Baywatched off the end of the boat! Amazing.
58:00 “What would I do with mutant dinosaurs from an accounting perspective?”
1:04:12 That’s an amazing stat that of all species that have existed, 99.9% are extinct.
1:14:54 Aww, dinos in love.
1:24:50 I wouldn’t have thought you could outrow a dinosaur.
1:37:50 That all felt quite Tomb Raider, I liked it.
1:41:50 “I’m not hysterical, I’m homicidal.”
1:56:30 The jeep saying ‘caution, pedestrian ahead’ and every time it’s a dinosaur is making me laugh.

Thoughts

At this point in the Jurassic Park/World franchise, you can’t help but being a bit nervous about a new movie release. This one is another reboot, no returning cast members, and Scarlett Johansson at the helm. It was alright, actually! There are definitely worse ones in the series. The characters were well drawn, the story made sense and although foolhardy, didn’t really have any major plotholes.

I didn’t enjoy the mutant dinosaurs though. I thought the ‘people are bored of traditional dinosaurs’ was a bit of a dig at viewers, and trying to explain away their mental alien dino monstrosities. I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m not bored of a good old-fashioned T-Rex. There’s a reason people rewatch Jurassic Park over and over and it’s not because the dinosaurs are boring.

Anyway, yea, it was a good mix of people and even though no one ever seems to learn lessons from what has gone before (why are we taking a pet dinosaur home??), I enjoyed the film!
