Good first half

Contains spoilers, click to show

I didn't expect much from this film. I was expecting dinosaurs roaring and silly humans making mistakes, its a Jurassic Park film, that's usually what we get. Only this film made me very annoyed, like I was angry at this film.
The first half, it's pretty much the advertising, "Save the dinos!" Jeff talking and Chris Pratt running, this bit was good and had the best but saddest scenes of the film.
The cast only just make it on the boat with a good collection of dinosaurs as the volcano erupts. They turn back to see a lone bracchiasaurus trying to get on the boat and calling out in panic as the smoke from the volcano engulfs it.

How dare they give this heartwrenching scene and then follow it with "Velociraptors have the same blood as a T-Rex" "Let's make a super smart dinos that smiles?????"
I was expecting Jeff talking, Chris running and dinos being saved to be the climax of the film. Not a clone child releasing the dinos like she's a part of PETA.
You can watch the whole film if you want but seriously the first half is good in my honest opinion.

use the pieces and make up your own rules, (0 more)

2 points for plastic dinosaurs.... the rest is useless.

Use the pieces to to come up with your own board game, it would be better than the rules provided anyway. This is your classic (boring and uninteresting) roll and move, but it takes 5 bites to kill a person? T-Rex is usually a one biter, maybe two at best with a puny human. Or at least it should be. Someone make some good rules and post it here. Any aspiring game designers want to take a crack at this one?

Great Sfx (1 more)

Cool set designs

Slightly different but still fun

After seeing some of the trailers I wasn't sure how this would pan out. The whole weaponising Dinosaurs from the first Jurassic World seemed like a thin plot line. At the end of the day it still boils down to escaping more Dinos on the run.
The Sfx are very good and there is plenty of tension as the characters get in various states of peril. Overall maybe not quite as good as the first one but if you are a fan of Jurassic Park, you'll happily sink your teeth into this!
