Don't mess with nature, unless with slow motion explosions

Rating: 4/10 (28 May 2017)

I guess the story is about consequences for having no respect for nature. But the movie also has a lot of slow motion scenes with people slicing and dicing their way thru innocent creatures, lovingly portrayed for cool factor, but is just silly.
Why is everything so big? On islands the wildlife is small. Birds, fish, mammals... everything is smaller on an island, i guess you could argue it's a big island, only they hike over the entire island in a couple of days by foot.
Lots of characters, all of them tired stereotypes, but not in a fun caricature way, non are developed enough for me to care about anything that's going on.
The photography is really weird, at one point a gun gets POV, to no effect or reason.
Supposedly the main draw is to see some cool monsters, and there is a couple of cool ones.
So many questions: Why does the helicopters keep flying towards the deadly monster? Why is nobody affected by the poisonous gas? Why are the colors so weird? Why are the native people so stoic? Why is Harrison Ford in the background for one scene? What are all these expensive actors doing in this movie?
