Just saw it. What a stinker. Terrible plot, but hey, at least it scored some intersectional points.

I'd rather see Top Gun Maverick 100 times in a row before ever watching that again. Maybe 1000 times.

ETA: I should add that I'm not trying to dog on this movie. I wanted to like it or be anywhere close to JW. Not close imo. But my 9 & 10 year olds seemed to like it ok. Just sharing a perspective for anyone thinking it might be something better than it is.

Call me the minority but we enjoyed it a lot. Saw it in IMAX in SA at 9:45 and there wasn't a single empty seat in the house. Lots of cheers and laughter and just an all around great experience. Was it Oscar worthy? no… spoiler alert- it's not Intended to be. Cheesy? Predictable? Of course. People can hate on it all they want- the studio will be fine with 1-2 billion dollars regardless.

No one pays attentions to the critics anymore, or at least shouldn't. It's all about the audience score now, baby.

Agreed. Those types of reviews of movies like this are just a growing contest to see who can seem the most "cultured" between a small amount of people who spend way too much time on twitter, in a review of a fun dinosaur popcorn summer movie. Looking forward to catching it this weekend.

It's almost as if folks go in to a movie like this looking for Shakespearian dialogue or what-have-you. It's a movie about freaking dinosaurs eating people. Critics will say that character X's actions or motivations don't make sense, to which I'll say, look, there's a dinosaur chomping a dude off a toilet. But what about the plot? Eh, give me more dinosaurs eating people.

This was never going to be the greatest movie ever made. I'm fine with that. Especially when I get to see dinosaurs eating people.

Here's a better ending. Dr. Grant saves everyone by running away from the pack. Raptors chase him down and kill him in the same way he threatens the little boy at the beginning of Jurassic Park. As he's screaming and getting eaten alive, he comes to, back in the Badlands and back in 1993. He suffered a heat stroke which triggered a Final Destination premonition of all that was to come, his foray into Jurassic Park, his lost love potential with Dr. Sattler, and the entire nightmare leading to his doom. Just then, John Hammond's helicopter lands. Together in Dr. Grant's tent, john asks Dr. Grant if he wants to go to Jurassic Park. Dr. Grant says "no"

Credits roll as you hear and see the sounds of rock picking out Dino bones as the South Dakota winds roll and bluster.

Just got out, here's my reaction: too long, too much CGI, too many storylines converging, everything was "convenient", but everytime I looked over at my kids their mouths were wide open at the action and freaking loved it. So I'm happy!

Just got out a little while ago.

I actually really liked it a lot.
I have 3 large gripes. I did not like the CGI Dino's at the start, I was taking to myself this does not look good, but then it got better. I did not like how easily characters got from point A to point B so effortlessly and always knew what to do. My last gripe was the end battle, it just happened, and then it was over… like really quickly.

For me it was a perfect mixture of Park & World cast members and Maisie was the glue that connected them all together.

I also thought it was a great wrap of 6 movies. If you look at the Jurassic movies not about Dinosaurs, BUT as a movie about genetics where Dino's are the byproduct then this 6th movie to me makes so much for senses.

Watching the Camp Cretaceous shows on Netflix helps fill in the gaps with all of Biosyn

The dilophosaurus for me stole the show in every scene they were in. And when I first heard their noise I was like oh heck yea!!!

I wish a main character Would have been eaten, it would have raised the stakes of suspense for me.

They said the Giga was the largest predator but it didn't seem much bigger than the T. rex to me.

Like TC said above, there was no prelude or drive in movie scene with the trex, and they even said it took fish & game XX years to capture the Rex, so that would have been cool to see.

Overall, I was happy to see the movie, every showing has been sold out, and my theater Was full of kids so it reminded me when I saw Jurassic park as a kid in 93

Just got out. The wife and I enjoyed the hell out of it. It is not perfect by any means, but that is not a problem for me. I got what I wanted out of it. And I find Ron Howard's daughter to be a fine looking woman.

Loved seeing the dinosaur with the big sail-like fin on its back; there was a time when I could have said what it's name is, but can't recall it now.

I liked the idea of an extinction level event coming via genetically modified locusts

Not that I heard. But they did show the can of Barbasol.

I've never seen a 3d movie that was worth it.
