The storyline itself was good and the CGI, for the most part, was impressive. At times, however, the CGI was a bit over the top. It doesn't really end with any resolution and leaves it open for another movie, but it a continuation isn't made, it really feels as though it were dropped off in the middle of the story. Hopefully, they will continue and give the rest of the story.

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this, quite excited to watch it myself though :)

Epitomized the era of Hollywood where cgi looked like garbage. Also the start of attempting to turn horror properties into poorly made action films with enormous budgets behind them

Too much CGI man
Well the trailer looked OK and obviously the idea of a younger version of Will Smith's character trying to kill the original could have been interesting. The 1st half of the film is pretty good, some cool action scenes and the story was engaging. The 2nd half fell quite flat once they have a face to face.
The Cgi in some of the action scenes was too obvious, and looked sped up, which made it look a bit odd. Most of the SFX for the younger clone was quite good apart from some of the scenes towards the end. Where he looked more like a video game character. So overall just an average Action film, with a simple plot and some good action scenes. With some occasional poor cgi in places. I was hoping for a lot better.

Enjoyable, but unoriginal.
Contains spoilers, click to show
The film is described as an adventure to save the island from a volcano, but it soon turns into exactly the same as the first Jurassic World film: genetic engineering, made-up dinosaur out of control etc.

The cast is good, Chris Pratt is excellent as ever, but unfortunately he is the only redeeming feature.

The story, as mentioned, is dull and a repeat of the first Jurassic World, but another disappointment is the use of CGI. Somehow, 25 years after the original Jurassic Park, the dinosaurs have become less realistic, moving down from high quality animatronics to average quality CGI, taking away all the charm.

I really wanted to love this quasi prequel to Carpenter's masterpiece. I enjoyed it yo a degree but the mediocre cgi gore can't hold a candle to Carpenter's practical effects

Awful
The humour is awful through-out the film and ruined the name of ghostbusters. Why they decided to make this film is beyond me.

Okay but nothing really new
The acting, CGI, and basic plot of this movie are decent to fill an otherwise boring evening at home. The problem comes in with the setting: what could have built off of a rich cultural heritage and created a unique story has instead devolved into a tale of terrifying shamans, superstitious villagers, crawling cockroaches, and a taciturn amah. And the requisite burial(s) in the Ganges.

Jaws in aisle 3
I had heard about this a while back as it was made in 2012. Expecting it to be a very bad low budget B movie. It's not as bad as Sharknado thankfully. It still suffers from some bad acting, script and dodgy CGI. If you don't mind the silly low budget, bargain bin films you might find this OK. You're not missing much if you don't take the bait...
