Silly, but relatively entertaining

Rating: 3/10 (16 September 2015)

The plot is all over the place. The characters are silly, the dinosaurs are silly, the events are predictable and silly. Then again, the characters, while hardly three-dimensional, are at least not total cardboard cutouts and dinosaur meat. Since Hollywood has lowered our expectations dramatically during the past two decades, one has to appreciate even such small positives. However, here is the problem: the film doesn't know what it's about. It focuses entirely on two brothers during Act 1, only to drop them almost completely and explore a romantic relationship between two secondary characters, and then go straight to the great dinosaur chase involving trained dinosaurs (!), which is clearly intended as the greatest attraction of this Jurassic tour. At the end of the day, this is just a mildly entertaining film, and a way to waste another couple of hours of your life. There is nothing original here, and it comes across as more of a ride than an actual film. A ride you've visited many times before and are somewhat bored of. Ironically, the film itself says that the dinosaurs in the park have become dull for the audiences. How true.
