Thoughts on Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom

Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom is decent schlock. There are fun moments and clever homages to past movies in the franchise. As a whole the movie is very silly and the plot takes interesting directions that are bizarre and new. Some of the best moments are the most absurd. The kills are mostly comeuppance deaths. The twists are largely predictable. The bulk of the characters aren’t very compelling, although the Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard characters do add the charm this movie needs to make it enjoyable. I question a lot of the motivations of the characters and the real science is kicked to the curb in this movie. The movie is entertaining enough for a rental or matinee especially if you enjoy the franchise.
