Default Jurassic World.

Big disappointment after all the hype. The advertising guys deserve a bonus.

Mmmm, I hav'nt seen it - but Kermode had positive comments about Fury Road

And I did see that - what a load of predictable crap that was

May contain spoiler......









I watched it tonight and thought it was ok but my main 2 complaints are; how did 2 kids start an abandoned old jeep of 20 years with a spanner and how are the people able to outrun the large dino's so easily, especially Clair outrunning the T-Rex?!?

Quite a lot of product placement too if you're one to notice that sort of thing. Coca cola bottle with the bloke at his "bungalow" and all the vehicles were Mercs .

Spoilers 2. ........

Saw it tonight in 3D

Film / plot etc.

Not bad as a evening out, but plot anomalies -goofs ??

Yes 2 kids starting 20 year old cars, just by changing the battery!, which weighed nothing!!!!

Tyres not perished, fuel ok, no gumming of the carbs, blocked jets etc!

The main dino supposedly clawed out the tracker, would have left a nice visible chunk of bloody flesh in close proximity to its (tiny) forearms?? never saw that anywhere !

It could smash through reinforced concrete (old buildings) but a simple concession stand held it at bay!

Likewise it could push a car forward with considerable force, but couldnt shift it laterally when the main characters were hiding in front of it?

For me there was something wrong with the proportions of the new dino, that made it look odd too


Film/ presentaion


Appeared to be an odd presentation ratio, not quite a 70mm print / ratio

We saw it in 3D, the film looked very grainy in places, with noticeable splitting of the 3D image in the background in some closeup shots.

The dirty window effect was evident in a few places too

We mentioned it to the cinema on the way out, and to there credit , they gave us some comlimentary tickets to see another film..

I managed to dodge watching this last weekend. I thought it would be carp based on some early reviews and the fact that the basic idea has been more than covered in the previous three films.


Let's see if I can wriggle out of watching it this weekend as well.

I thought it was excellent
The plot was great, and the way they brought up the old jurassic park in my opinion was brilliant, really great way to finish off the jurassic park ser of films (especially as 2 and 3 were a bit poor)

Maybe you have to be a big jurassic park fan to really enjoy it, but i think they did really really well on the story of this.

The comments about starting the car are a bit far fetched lol, its only a film and maybe Spielberg is not too clue'd up on his engines lol

I took my daughter to see it last Saturday and we also both enjoyed it. I went to watch it for the visuals and the sounds and never expected any real plot or character depth because as you know, you're never going to get that from this kind of film.

It was a bit far fetched to say the least. Why they went into the gm modified dinosaur pen in the first place was rather questionable. And surely they would have had double security gates after the last few **** ups.

Also the 3d effects were crap. If you are planning on seeing this. Save yourself a few quid and see the 2d versionm

I thought it was mediocre at best, watch the first 20 mins of the film and you can predict the rest of the film like a Tom cruise classic!
Knew where the jumpy bits would be, who would die, who would survive etc etc

6/10 score from me

Finish off, really! What about all the InGen stuff from the lab all the embtyos and eggs, where as that lot gone?

More plot holes than a colander and even more options to carry on the franchise.

yeah I think Chris Pratt might be signed up for another 2 of these?

It was an ok film, I saw it the other day but I'm glad someone else paid for the tickets!

Glad I wasn't there. One of my bug bears is kids running amok when you have paid to watch a film.

Totally agree. I've never experience kids running around in a cinema or making a noise etc, but I'm concerned that b3nmw let his do that??

Even so, shouldn't let a kid run free around the cinema! That must have annoyed so many people!

Hi Mart how's things?
I saw JP4 with the boy, he liked it I thought they did an OK job but there's not much left to give with the whole dino-park plot to be honest.

I took my kids to see Bambi when they were little and when we lived in London. My daughter was only 1 yr. old, then. She walked about in the theatre and whenever Bambi cried, she went with her finger pointing to the screen "Eh Oh! Eh Oh!" with learnt concern. She didn't bother anyone, didn't run about and only walked in the middle walkway up and down like a little teddy bear, but I was embarrassed. Thank God it was only one family as the audience, which was us.
