Not Jurassic Park, but...

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2015)

It could have been worse. Lots of action and enough of it different from the past movies to have a few surprises, and there was even a plot twist that I will not mention. The human interactions are contrived for the most part. There wouldn't be time to build characters in a movie that demands a rolling start not to lose the audience so people say things that seem out of blue in order to accomplish some establishment, however predictable that makes the outcome. The action sequences are handled competently as well as the CGI effects and "real" dinosaur props. There is not a moment where I was pulled out of the reality of the place. Until the end, which brings up the spoiler so skip the rest if you are going to see JW. A woman, in heels, outruns a full grown Tyrannosaur over several hundred yards with virtually no beginning lead. We had pretty well established in earlier movies that a T-Rex could easily outrun a human being. No matter how much it was wished to make a heroine to confirm character change, that sequence did not work and served to strain credibility during an ending that was already stretched pretty far in that regard. That said, for what it is, JW is worth seeing, especially in 3D.
