Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish

How low is the bar these days? How does something so derivative and uninspiring still manage to garner 7 stars on a large review database?
Acting wasn't the problem, which is a nice change in terrible movies, but this story... Wow. THAT is a story? It's basically the original Jurassic Park, but far, far worse, but following the exact same series of events.
Dinosaurs? Check. Two children (one of whom is obsessed by dinosaurs)? Check. Bad guys looking to exploit dinosaur research? Check. Obvious plot as to how dinosaurs are more intelligent than expected? Check. OTT action that is beyond the scope of physical possibility? Check. Actors always being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but able to "somehow" get through it? Check.
This was terrible. Shyte in fact. This says far too much about the state of the audience than I'd care to speculate on if they're enjoying this. The fact that a new one has been green-lit says a lot too.
I clearly have nothing in common with the low-expectation audience that passes as a movie critic (not that these exist any more) these days.
