Would have made a great 45 min Twilight Zone Episode

Rating: 1/10 (27 November 2014)

OK, so maybe 1 out of 10 is a bit harsh but this film bored me to tears.
*Possible Spoilers ahead*
I remember seeing this in the cinema on it's initial release and damn near falling asleep then so I hired the DVD today, Nov 2014, to see if I was just suffering from the hype back in the day.
The dinosaur effects are good, the whole "we can, but should we" moral message is here too.
BUT, the opening hour could have been tidied up in 20 to 30 minutes easily and the dinosaurs appear for only about 15 minutes in the last hour.
The sick Triceratops was a somewhat pointless touch, the ability to just get out of the tour vehicle and wander around the animals was strange as you couldn't do that in a regular animal park now let alone one filled with resurrected prehistoric creatures.
The main stick point for me was the character that the park's owner trusted the least seemed to be in control of all the security with over ride-able fail-safes at the touch of a single button.
I will concede that this film has it's fans and Mr. Spielberg is a better film maker than I could ever be, but he just didn't entertain me this time as goods effects do not a good film make.
