It's now over 20 years from the original Jurassic Park film, and time has moved on.

In both the real world and the fictional world of this movie.

Set back in the original location of Isla Sorna, this imagines that John Hammond's park has been open to the public for over 20 years: to a public that has largely grown inured to the Dinosaurs and demands a new attraction every 2 years or so.

Enter the genetically engineered hybrid Indominus Rex, which (of course) causes chaos when it gets free of its paddock...

This movie definitely takes its cue from the original film, complete with a pair of siblings lost in the wilderness as the Dino's run amok! For some reason, the effects also seem less impressive than the earlier film (perhaps just because we've gotten used to them? Yes, just like the visitors to the island...), which mixed animatronics with its Special Effects, to great effect.
