Dinosaur Disaster

Rating: 6/10 (24 February 2020)

The best way to watch any Jurassic Park film in my opinion is not as a sci-fi, or fantasy or adventure film but as a disaster movie: like in any disaster movie we know what the source of the catastrophe will be and the entertainment is therefore twofold; firstly how exactly will things go from "nought to sixty" and what exact mayhem will be unleashed!!
'Jurassic World' services both these requirements perfectly well and produces an overall satisfactory disaster movie for its troubles.
Adequately acted by the child actors and passably so by a mainly unchallenged adult cast the direction and editing keep the pace cranking along after first taking time establishing who's faces we are going to see contorting in fear later and in tipping us the wink as to all the possible domino effects that might unleash the impending doom!
I found the references to the 'first island', and by extension the original film, to be an entirely worthwhile angle for this "soft rebooting"/belated 3rd sequel to use.
The special effects and the depictions of carnage and chaos as dinosaurs fought and killed and ate people and fought and killed and ate each other were excitingly sillified.
Sillified madhouse nonsense sums up a decent disaster movie experience.
I rate a 6/10 and recommend accordingly if the viewer treats this movie within its appropriate genre; but as an aside the sequel sounds terrible, not a good disaster movie concept at all, and I haven't considered watching it as a result.
