An average movie

To be honest, I didn’t remember much about ‘Falling Kingdom’, except that didn’t really impress me. However, I have to admit that I was still curious about this new installment since it was supposed to be the conclusion of this new trilogy. On top of that, the set-up did sound pretty epic. Indeed, this time around, there would be dinosaurs roaming free all around the world and they were going to bring back not only the main duo of the ‘Jurassic World’ franchise but also the main trio of the very first ‘Jurassic Park’ movie. Unfortunately, even though the damned thing definitely had some potential, to be honest, I didn’t care much about it. Indeed, it was basically not much better than an average B movie with a blockbuster budget. First of all, even though it did make sense narratively to have two different stories involving the two sets of characters, the end-result turned out to be a drag. I mean, I have to admit that I was impressed by how much Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum managed to do with the little material they were provided but Chris Pratt and Bruce Dallas Howard didn’t fare so well, I’m afraid. Indeed, their characters felt terribly flat and, eventually, I wish they did bring all these characters together much sooner. Furthermore, it was also terribly disappointing that they yet again brought up another evil company aiming to meddle with these dinosaurs. Seriously, after 6 movies, couldn’t they come up with something else? I mean, they could have simply focus on the characters trying to survive in a new world order with some freaking dinosaurs everywhere. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, I guess it was still a fairly decent blockbuster and the fans of the genre will probably be pleased but, if they decide to stop with the concept for the time being, I would really not mind.
