i really enjoyed this brehs.
i can't believe for a while that i considered NOT seeing this in theaters. this franchise defined my childhood. as i've said many times i saw the OG opening day as a kid and it remains my favorite theater experience. I saw the sequels as well. I owned the videogame on sega genesis. I went to the ride at universal studios when it opened and even stunted on all the other kids in the 3rd grade with a water bottle that said "i survived jurassic park" and had a gigantic t-rex head on top
i gotta say though, this movie has the most product placement of ALL-TIME.. kinda threw me out of the movie..felt like a samsung and mercedes commercial..even starbucks and coca cola were in there.
i loved all the homages/callbacks to the original..from the obvious down to a 2 second flash of Mr Dna at the start.
when the amblin entertainment title screen flashed at the start i was amped.. and when that john williams score came on for the first time
the last 25 min or so was crack.. they really gave the people what they want..word to jalen rose and jacoby. i actually liked all the scenes of the kids and dino fukkery.. the gyroball in the indominous rex mouth was a nice update to the jeep scene.
also happy to see black dude from the intouchables get some american work
7.5/10
