I personally thought this movie is good. Good for kids that is. Remember when you were 5 and you don't go into these little details ? It's just about dinosaurs, eating kids, hero and heroine who can do just about anything.

I think my dad would have thought the first Jurassic Park was stupid as well. haha!

True but the previous Jurassic movies were very fun and cautionary what-if stories - as to why we shouldn't bring back dinosaurs - much less build a vacation destination around it - which was the spirit of the Michael Crichton's novels. The earlier movies - there was SOME effort at matching ground-breaking CG and effects with some semblance of logic - where even if you were 5 yrs old and didn't care about details - the details are there - it means there was effort put in presenting something exciting and close to clever.

I think Chris Pratt was phoning in his performance - Byce is OK - but their interaction could've been worked upon - its very ho-hum every time I see humans interacting in their scenes - only the character of Lowery at the station was compelling to watch - being the ONLY one who is aware of what's going on and what's to come.

The action scenes and money shots were good but everything else drags it down that i felt dirty after the whole thing ended in IMAX 3d -- i am thinking my money was better spent for the IMAX 3d of 'Jupiter Ascending'.

Like another poster mentioned - this is a fine CG spectacular blockbuster on SyFy channel - but not deserving of the 'Jurassic' moniker in its title.

Agree, but after part 2 and 3, I went in with low expectations and also expect some really corny lines for laughs. There were more than I expected.

And why did the T-Rex not eat/attack Claire? At that part, I was wishing Godzilla to somehow appear already. And that is why I thought it's a movie more for kids, who may not see these details. Well, maybe at least I as a kid wouldn't see it.
