This is the one set almost entirely in a post apocalyptic 'future' (2018, so - at the time of reviewing - 2 years ago), with Sam Worthington still riding his fame after Avatar (before seemingly disappearing), and with Christian Bale taking on the role of a grown-up John Connor.
The film, however, is probably more famous for his on-set meltdown/temper tantrum...
No Arnie - for once - and with a young Anton Yelchin (before his unfortunate demise) as Kyle Reese, this is actually better than I remember it to be, if not brilliant.
Andy Bell recommended Once Upon a Time... by Donna Summer in Music (curated)

Not much seems to happen in the 300 odd pages of this book; it seemed like--maybe it did?--everything happened in the space of a few hours, which equally made it seem like an easy read and like I couldn't be bothered to read it because it seemed to drag.
The best bit for me happened around the 270pg mark. John became really...hot and forceful-ish with Pierce and I was actually kinda giddy, but of course this being a YA book no details are given. Boo!
I haven't decided yet whether I'll finish the trilogy, though it does seem a shame to read only 2/3's of the series.

I liked how it started and it pulled me in quickly but I think the romance appeared a little out of nowhere. Okay, they'd been talking and having sweet moments but suddenly they can't stay away from each other anymore? I didn't buy it.
Nevertheless I liked the storyline.
I have the next two or three books in the Sea Breeze series but I think I'm going to try something else first.

But what we get here is a quick blast of dinosaur action that takes place soon after Fallen Kingdom, and revolves around a family on a camping trip, where they get stuck in the middle of two different dinosaur species fighting.
The short has a couple of cool shots as the chaos unfolds, and is a nice little appetiser for the upcoming third film in the Jurassic World trilogy, and it directly deals with the issue of dinosaurs living amongst us.
I would have given this a 6, but the awesome end credits sequence brings it up a mark.
