Entertainment, for people that forgot what entertainment really is

Rating: 6/10 (22 December 2015)

When 12 years pass by from a truly epic, genre defining film, expectations will always be at a high. This is a film that grossed hugely at the box office, regardless of anything I could possibly say.
One word from me:
Disappointment.
The effects, in some bizarre, alternate universe, feel worse than the early ILM days of JP1. With all the cutting edge effects, teams of VFX & SFX gurus's, somehow JW just doesn't manage to muster a single set piece that incites fear, panic & sweat like the original.
To watch this, is to really understand what a director like Spielberg truly commands. A single cohesive vision. I could complain about the characters, the plot, the poorly textured dinosaurs, but it would be completely fruitless. You'll all watch it anyway. The film discerning public will all leave with a taste of 'meh' in their mouths. It's fun, but fun that will almost never be re-visited.
Spielberg is a genius and this film simply serves as a testament to that, and not much else.
6.0/10
