Wasted Potential

Rating: 6/10 (13 November 2015)

I have no idea how this became the 3rd biggest movie of all time. While the idea of seeing a fully functioning park and using 2015 VFX to open up the movie seemed interesting, the execution was less then stellar.
2nd Rate and Mediocre are the words I would use to describe the movie. The pacing is a mess , characters are not fleshed out and have no personality, the humor falls flat, and there is a lack of suspense throughout.
The script seems to try and throw in ever possible idea for a sequel, weaponized Dinos, engineering Dinos etc.
I also found the direction to be very generic. Spielberg took special care to make sure that shots were kept from the human perspective to make the Dino's larger and more majestic, JW just uses generic CGI shots with out any creative camera placements.
Overall given the talent involved everything just seemed lazy. I just can't understand how a movie that doesn't really have anything that stands out could make so much money.
