CGI is the star of this show

Rating: 7/10 (3 February 2015)

The visual effects really are the star of the show here. The audiences continued fascination with dinosaurs has made this film a hit. Aside from the effects and CGI this film is pretty tired. There is no character development and the adults behave just like the children which seems a little strange. There isn't a lot of personality here and when the Dinosaurs are not on display it tends to be a bit boring with very one dimensional characters. I remember at the time expecting way more from Steven Spielberg and his amazing Directing abilities from his previous films, JAWS and close encounters to name a few. If CGI is your thing and animatronics are fascinating for you then this is your film. If you are looking for a tight little story with great characters, not so much. Overall it's a pretty inoffensive film so watch and enjoy.
