Take another trip into Hubris World!

Rating: 4/10 (24 October 2016)

You'd think they would've learned their lesson the *first* time the dinosaurs went rogue in the first Jurassic Park. Then you'd figure they would've learned the lesson in the sequels, but no. They mention continually in "World" that cloning dinosaurs en masse in an enclosed space is a bad idea, but hey: we've got fences now!
The twist in "World" is that they cross-clone dinosaurs. The star of this episode is the "indominus rex" (eye roll) which is basically just a bigger version of the T-rex from the first film. They give it the DNA of apex predator, long grabby arms, and the brain of Adolf Hitler--what could possibly go wrong?
Chris Pine, an actor who got his start by playing fat fools, plays an American war veteran who also, somehow, is an expert dinosaur trainer (WTF?) who attempts to assert authority in the film with wise, wildman insight. At one point in tracking the "indominus" (jeez) they come across a dead dinosaur. Pine's character remarks, "It's not eaten! The indominus is killing for sport!" Oooooh, if we didn't hate the indominus before, we really hate 'im now. Being a genetic freak is one thing, but hunting for sport is just unacceptable.
The movie continually reminds and tells us how 'cool' Chris Pine's character is: from the kids telling the female lead "your boyfriend's a badass," to them asking her if they can stay with him. Chris Pine, however, is no alpha. He's a clueless git who happens to have a thick neck, and whenever he tries to strike a serious face he couldn't look more stupid. And none of the other cast have much charisma either. Except for maybe Judy Greer. (And the guy playing her husband seems more like an alpha than Pine.)
There's kind of a novel twist on the formula halfway through where the dumb humans use dinosaurs as hunting dogs, but the way they run and are shaped makes them look like big chickens. John William's score is distracting and gets in the way, and the movie is a multicoloured mess.
Avoid.
