DINOSAURS! Life finds a way! I grew up loving Jurassic Park, from the film to the novel. Though, having been directed by Steven Speilberg it was completely different than the novel as his other adaptations are. As though the man can’t come up with his own material. But that’s not what this post is about, no. It’s about DINOSAURS.
Claire and Owen are back in this one to save the animals from Isla Nublar which is being engulfed by the erupted volcano. It’s been a few years since we were last on the land of yet another failed park, Jurassic World. And we even hear from the mouth of Ian Malcolm that nature should take its course.
Well, I say fuck you, Ian. Henry Wu, our villain from the last film has returned to sell whatever animals were saved to the highest bidders. And we see yet another hybrid creation more distrustful and dangerous than the Indominous Rex. And yes, the dinosaurs haven’t been updated with feathers like scientists have discovered but this isn’t a factual film. I’m sure if Michael Crichton was alive, he’d make an updated novel with the information out there.
Nor can one create such hybrids as these. Though mashing it enough times could have a plausible outcome. It’s a world of fiction. Science Fiction to science fact.
All I can say is TOBY JONES AND JAMES CROMWELL!
And blue!
As a lover of biology and genetics and a huge fan of dinosaurs even at 25, this was a great sequel to the 2015 film and I cannot wait for the last installment to the Jurassic World series.
8.5/10
