A bit meh

Rating: 6/10 (14 June 2015)

My first thoughts were, where are the dinosaurs? There's very little of them in this movie. It's nearly half an hour before we see one and it doesn't get better from there.
The storyline is very limp. The character of Claire misfired on a number of levels. The movie didn't make me really care what happened to any of the characters except Owen and Larry and the four raptors. This is the main problem with the film, it doesn't really matter what happens.
There's no emotional punch like there was with the first film or with jaws. There's also a distinct lack of tension. This should have been a thrill ride, but it was all very predictable.
The best acting in the film was by Blue the 'beta' raptor. The relationship between Blue and Owen was about the only emotional factor in the film.
The dinosaurs when on the screen looked good enough, but there was no tension in this film.
The score and sound effects were also a bit of a let down for me.
It wasn't bad, just a bit meh. I saw it in 3d. There's no need to pay extra. No real 3d effects to speak of.
