Too simple plot wise (1 more)
Not enough Dinosaur action
Stays in the average lane
Disappointing Sci-Fi that had potential. Very basic plot, not enough action, Dinosaurs or any real peril. Was hoping for a lot more after the trailer looked ok. No idea how someone gave this a 10?

Surprising
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. The acting was good with interesting characters. The cinematography, imagery, effects were all very well done. The story unfolded ok but had a lot of very predictable parts. This was a "Steam Punk" future world with a lot of cool stuff in it but had just a bit of a "Star Wars-esque" feel to it. Not in a bad way, though. But the story, simplified, was that someone opened Pandora's box and the heroes had to shut it down. Anyway, if you enjoy a good sci-fi/action/adventure tale with just a smidge of love story thrown in, you'll really enjoy this movie. Worth a watch!

I enjoyed this one... The characters were interesting... they were totally not likely for each other... at first I thought it was because patrick was an nfl star and Max was a student... and then they fall for each other of sorts... and then they lose each other.. a lot happens and then max is rich and patrick isn't.. they have to go through so much with each other.. and then they have to go through so much with themselves.. they have to fight to be who they are meant to be.. plus find out who they are to each other. it is truly a sweet and lovely story and I enjoyed it a lot.

Better than Expected!
Ok. So I heard all of the negativity surrounding this film before I went to go see it. So I had very low expectations for this film. I can easily say I was pleasantly surprised. This movie had me on the edge of my seat for a lot of the film and I actually cared about a lot of the characters. I think this movie was the scariest of any of the Jurassic films so far and that director J.A. Bayona is a previous Horror director and it really comes out in this film. There are definitely some really interesting and diverse shots in this film. Go see this for the fun and the thrills!

The Meg (2018) is a whole lot of fin and a whole lot of fun. #SharkWeak2 #Review
As a long-time reader of Steve Alten’s pulpy aquatic horror novels and a fan of shark movies – bad and good – I’ve long been hoping for a movie adaptation. Unfortunately, “The Meg” always seemed to find itself trapped in development hell, much like the eponymous monster is trapped beneath the thermal barrier at the ‘bottom’ of the Mariana Trench. But, in both cases, that’s no longer the truth – The Meg is loose, released by Warner Bros to terrorise the denizens of Mana One, a state-of-the-art oceanic research station...

A heartwarming read
Whilst this is definitely a very well written and heartening read, I'm surprised at some of the reviews mentioning the unpredictability of the twists and turns. For me the downside to this book was that it was very predictable. This isn't unsurprising as it is a drama/romance, and I've read a lot of books so nothing surprises me anymore. But this didn't spoil my enjoyment of the book too much. It was still a heart warming tale with a well developed and relatable main character, with a truly sad and interesting story. There's a lot of important and poignant messages this book raises, and it makes for a very thought provoking read.

Amazing sets, costumes and character design
A very good sequel
A very good sequel to the first film. It's a very pretty film to watch with a lot of good cgi effects for the various kingdoms, creatures and sets, which look great. The cast is good with Pfeiffer stealing the show. It does introduce a lot of new characters and some from the first film have much smaller roles this time out. It's very enjoyable if a little bit predictable and maybe not with a grand ending. Still well worth catching at the cinema even if it's not quite as spellbinding as the first one.

More of the same (timey wimey)
The second book in this trilogy is largely a retelling of the first book. Nick sees some mysterious people, who turn out to be from the future, there is a lot of talk about time travel and parallel universes and there is a heist sequence at the end.
This book was a lot heavier on the pseudo-science and that got a little tiring and head-scratchy at times, with all the talk of paradoxes and whatnot.
This was an enjoyable read, but as with anything time travel related too much creativity and inventiveness can only lead to stretches in plausibility and lengthy justifications for the "science".
