Have these movies retconned Isla Sorna? Activists And politicians talk about dinosaurs going extinct again after the volcano destroys the island, not seeming to realize that there’s a whole other island with many of those same dinos still alive and thriving (by extension, I’m guessing we’ve also abandoned their Lysine deficiency), and it isn’t even a secret since a Rex stormed through San Francisco. I mean, I’m not above those movies getting written out, but it’s just weird how that plays. I wondered the same thing, and looked it up, and apparently there is some mention in the movie (thought I couldn't find out when or who by) of the dinosaurs all having been moved to Nublar, so Sorna was abandoned. I have no memory of this, and the very idea seems absurd given the size and fact that so many years have gone by, but that's their cop out answer.

The main characters are some of the dumbest ever. I was hoping for a gruesome death for the Daniella Pineda's character primarily, but I guess the movie was actually championing their moronic "Save the Dinosaurs. We barely survived the film but lets let them loose on innocent civilians." philosophy. It genuinely felt like a parody of that The Last Jedi scene.

The selling prices of dinosaurs were ridiculously low. I doubt they were enough to have a payoff after the expedition, not to mention everyone could have dinosaurs cloned with few cells.

I thought that was pretty bad. The one thing I’ll say is that J.A. Boyona’s direction is quite good so it’s a shame his talents couldn’t have been complimented by a stronger script. The lengthy take in the “hamster ball” underwater is pretty damn impressive. But holy crap, everything was so...dumb. It’s incredibly obvious who’s going to live and who’s going to die, the characters are annoying, the Goldblum cameo is so tacked on that it genuinely feels like something that could’ve been filmed after everything else purely for marketing purposes, and it’s got one of the worst endings I’ve seen in a while. Like wow, a lot of people are going to be killed and seriously injured because of that dumb little girl Also, jeez does every Jurassic Park really need children in it? I was so uninvested in that storyline. Hell, I didn’t even feel impressed by the dinosaur action. Even though it feels a bit darker in tone, the dinosaur violence felt really tame. I know it’s a kids movie and they’re all relatively tame but at least most of the other films had the occasional moment where I felt a real sense of danger. 4/10
