Does exactly what it says on the tin! We all know what happens in the Jurassic Park franchise and this is nothing really different, dinosaurs chasing people and killing them off. I thought the story line was pretty good and who doesn't love it when the bad guys meet a grisly end?! All in all it was very entertaining.

Not the best Jurassic movie but still ... dinosaurs
The follow-up to Jurassic World sees the cast trying to save the remaining dinosaurs from the erupting volcano on Isla Nublar. The inevitable terribly disguised bad-guys are exposed, along with the corporate greed financing them. While the film is enjoyable, and the action exciting, the whole plot hinges on people opening doors or pressing buttons that they should not press, but then that is the same with Jurassic World (people going into the Indo-Rex's enclosure and releasing it). Sets up the third instalment, which looks to be quite epic in scope.
Jeff Goldblum's role in the film is very minor compared to how much his return has been played in the media. It is a cameo at best.

I've just realised (at the time of writing) that this movie is nearly 30 years old.

Man, I feel old.

Taking some liberties with Michael Crichtons's source material (Hammond dies and was not a very nice man; Grant likes kids), this is a disaster movie with stunning effects (that still hold up pretty well today) for the time, even if our understanding of the 'headline' dinosaurs has changed somewhat in the intervening years since its release (Raptors were the size of chickens, had feathers, and were NOT pack hunters. or so we now think).

Set on a tropical island hit by a storm just as the owner is given a pre-release tour to special invited guests to show off his scientific breakthrough - cloned Dinosaurs, because that's ALWAYS a good idea … - a series of events leads to the power going down, and the 'exhibits' breaking free to wreak havoc amongst those guests. And, lets not kid around the bush here, despite having the likes of Samuel L Jackson, Richard Attenborough, Sam Neil, Laura Dern and - uh- Jeff Goldblum ("life, uh, finds a way") amongst the cast - the real stars are those dinosaurs.

All the sequels (4 so far, with a 5th ion the way in Jurassic World: Dominion) pale in comparison.
