Decent but more a pale imitation of Jurassic Park and The Lost World than anything original or fresh.

Rating: 5/10 (18 August 2015)

Semi decent sequel picks up the story back at the original island 22 years later with a fully functional " Jurassic Park" that needs a new attraction to bring in new crowds of customers. Unfortunately, the newly created dinosaur has an agenda of it's own and breaks out of captivity in order to prove once again that man should not mess with nature.
The movie is OK, with some decent jump moments and great set pieces, unfortunately we have seen all of this before with the first two films of the series (The first Jurassic Park and The Lost World) and those were done much better and much scarier as well. Not to mention the fact that the characters of those films were much more compelling and more fleshed out and had better original stories to work with. Chris Pratt tries his best with a flat headed character and brings some gravitas to the movie but he's lacks a compelling cast of characters to work with and the script is riddled with one cliché after another. Bruce Dallas Howard is stuck with a cliché of a women's role and agree with the opinion that it's sexist and very badly written. The rest of the cast of characters are really not worth mentioning because they really did not add much to the film at all other than canon fodder for the rampaging dinosaurs at the park.
The movie is a good afternoon movie to sit through and thank heavens better than the weak and disposable Jurassic Park 3 but it pales considerably against the first two Steven Spielberg directed films, The Original Jurassic Park and Spielberg's own sequel The Lost World. If there shall be another film, let's hope it at least finds some Interesting characters and a better premise that at least tries to be original and not a pale remake of what came before.
