Sort of watchable, but...

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2015)

To me, the fourth entry in the "Jurassic Park" series has the same problem that another movie ("Tremors 5") released the same year by the same studio (Universal Pictures) had - it feels like they have gone to the well once too often. Certainly, this entry has the action and special effects you expect of any film of this series, and I wasn't really bored at any moment. But at the same time, the movie had a kind of fatigue to it. There aren't that many new ideas to be found in this entry, and the few new ideas that there are (like genetic modification to come up with new dinosaur species) aren't expanded on to great effect. The "bad guy" dinosaur in this movie, with very little rewriting, could have been just another ornery T-Rex. In the end, the movie passes the time, and that is about it. Despite what I've just said, the enormous world-wide box office take for this movie no doubt means that a fifth entry in this series is inevitable. To its screenwriters I ask: Please come up with some fresh ideas and expand on them enough before you start typing on your computer.
