I watched this over the weekend. Wow how far from the original Jurassic Park has this franchise come. There was some cool looking scenes, but a lot of it felt more like a fan fic than actual movie. Just giving the fans moments they think they want to see/hear. Nothing special. None of the suspense of the original.

My cheapo self actually rented this and I’m full of regret

1 out of 5. Maybe 1.5. Seriously underwhelmed

Yeah that movie reeked of cheap fan service.

Also the conflict had almost nothing to do with dinosaurs.

What a bizarre movie. It seems just bizarre enough to elude a Best Picture nom for the next Oscars, but also is grounded. I don’t know how. I saw it a few days ago and I’m still processing it. Things that made me audibly go ‘what the fuck am I watching’ had me actually tearing up when reintroduced later in the movie. I can’t describe how that is possible but this film does it well.

It just…you should see it. It’s a dark comedy but also sci-fi action but also heartfelt and emotional? I can’t describe this genre.

+++++++++++++++++++++

mindblowingly stunning experience, moving and trippy and utterly unlike anything else.

Right??! I also went to school with Steph Hsu and I’m so happy to see her taking off. Great acting all around, just an amazing experience in a theater

is disney plus worth getting?

Depends if you like Disney, really. It’s got all the newer stuff (especially marvel and Star Wars IP’s) and a lot of the older canon.
They also have National Geographic shows on there too if that floats your boat.

If none of that applies to you, it’s just another streaming platform

I was interested at first and then it turned into a background movie about halfway through and I don’t even think I finished it. Ryan Reynolds is always fun to watch tho.

I did finally get around to watching Train to Busan by my self because my wife doesn’t like subtitle movies, and it was really good! Holds up among some of the best modern zombie movies imo.
