Well, I certainly enjoyed that!
It was both different and similar to the other movies. I liked the new characters. They had depth in short moments. And of course all the acting was great. It was quite a large cast but of course, as in all of these movies, that shrinks as we go. I was never really sure what would happen a lot of the time.
The actions scenes were fantastic. And the visuals were as good as they always are. I know about some of the practical dinos, but I wonder how many others were practical.
The plot was relatively straightforward. And the music was enjoyable too. Though I certainly feel like one or two of the first uses of the Jurassic Park theme were completely unnecessary. But the rest of them were well-placed.
There weren’t too many references to the other movies which was fine. This really seemed like mostly its own thing. I wouldn’t say no to a couple more stand-alone movies.
There was heart in this that I liked a lot with both groups of the cast. Certainly an enjoyable movie!
