Wouldn’t you know it, when humans think they’re all-powerful and try to rescue much stronger creatures, the tables are turned and the creatures turn on the humans, switching the rescue mission into a great escape. In this case, capable heroes Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are called to go back to the devastated Jurassic World theme park that they left behind in the last film and instead of escaping, they try to save the dinosaurs from becoming extinct again when their volcanic island home erupts. Rather than go with a clever script, the film borrows a tried and true premise of role reversal, which works in some sequels like American Pie 3, where Stifler and Finch have to pretend they are the opposite of who they are to win the girl. This film is like watching an extended version of “here’s what you missed over the last few episodes” – a rehash of the scenes and characters we’ve recently come to love. The sets are bold and beautiful, the dinos are realistic, and there are plenty of suspenseful scenes designed to make you jump. It may find a special place in the hearts of a young audience that hasn’t seen the original Jurassic Park, or undiscerning adults who just want more of the same. ![]() There’s nothing technically wrong with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the latest dinosaurs-in-real-life-theme-park-gone-horribly-wrong adventure flick.
