Good thing this film had some dinosaurs in it, otherwise what a bore.

Rating: 3/10 (13 July 2005)

Am I the only one in the world who is disturbed by glaring continuity mistakes? And this film has two of the biggest I've ever seen. I've heard Spielberg doesn't care about continuity, and if this film is an example, then it's true. Firstly, on the helicopter trip to the island, old man Hammond is sitting with his back to the front of the helicopter. You can clearly see the water going by outside. And yet he gestures in front of him "and there it is" or whatever he says, but he's pointing in front of himself. No. Wrong. The island should be BEHIND him. Secondly, and this is just stupid. When we first see the T-Rex enclosure, the cars are on the same level as the enclosure. They are clearly looking straight across at it. Later when T-Rex escapes, he/she walks straight across to the cars from the enclosure, so far so good but...When T-Rex knocks the car off the edge of the road...WHAT EDGE OF THE ROAD?! Was there a landslide that wasn't shown? Did one half of the island sink thirty metres? This is ridiculous, and totally unnecessary. A dinosaur attack would be exciting enough, one would imagine, without being knocked off the edge of a cliff (or whatever it is) that doesn't exist. Also, with the exception of Bob Peck, all the actors are really phoning this one in. I mean come on.
