One of the amazing things about the original Jurassic Park is its ability to create wonder. No matter how many times I watch it the reveal of the dinosaurs at the beginning of that movie is awe inspiring. I get goosebumps every time Sam Neil shakily lifts his glasses from his face and the score kicks in. It’s a film about the wonder of life, and man’s role in that.
The Jurassic World films are not that. They’re monster movies, and that is, of course, OK. The original film was fun enough as one, and still maintained some of the childish wonder at just how cool dinosaurs are. It had charm. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom does not. It takes the themes of the original movie, and the plot of its predecessor and mushes it all into what amounts to almost nothing. There’s no wonder here. No goosebumps moments. It’s the concept of dinosaurs turned into the franchise of dinosaurs.
