On Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom


There is something about dinosaurs that fascinates at all ages. Perhaps their scale and ferocity and knowing that they did exist in our world makes them a curiosity more than say a fantasy, such as werewolves or orcs. Something has to explain the constant ability of the Jurassic Park series to generate such incredible box office receipts around the world. Especially when, in this case, the film is bad. Jurassic Park (1993) remains a great film, and the rest are watchable, but Fallen Kingdom is dull. Unable to evolve and break away from what is now a tired formula, the film suffers from too much of the same and hopes by being bigger with the CGI it can hide its flaws. It cannot. And that there is clearly another to come shows how this has become all about business and not, like the 1993 film, about magic anymore.
