More "monster" than "Jurassic"

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2015)

Thought I'd be brave and watch this one in 3D and even though I had a dizzy spell for a while afterwards, it was "jurassic world" so why complain? The 3D looked good (even better if I could focus) and the film was also good but more of a monster feature than a true "jurassic park" sequel. Like the character of Ian Malcom said in "the lost world";
You're making all new mistakes
I think that this sums up the movie somewhat as it is more or less the same "tried and tested" story of the prequels but don't be fooled into thinking that it is a bad movie...quite the opposite actually. It is a good watch and the excellent CGI effects do not distract from the movie. There are no return appearances of the original cast members (with the exception of BD Wong who appears for brief moments) which is a shame as I was expecting surprise appearances. Although this is a very predictable film it is a great deal better than the third film in the series. All in all as a standard creature feature this movie works really well but as a "jurassic" sequel...not so good. It will however give you your money's worth if you are looking for dinosaurs, collateral damage and the occasional person being killed for good measure. If you enjoyed the previous films in the trilogy then this is a no brainer for you but my advise is that go see it as a creature feature and you might enjoy it that much more.
