Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Despite my love for Jurassic Park, I intentionally skipped this movie after seeing its reviews upon release, and therefore are entering uncharted territory. Seeing the first half of this movie, I kind of worried I had made a mistake, as it’s about as good and fun as Jurassic World, but the second half is so bad that it’s not even laughable. It’s just sad. 2018 was before the advent of large language models, but the plot and dialogue feel like that’s how it was written. Up until this point, we’ve had fun with this franchise watch, but with two movies to go, have we hit rock bottom or can it get worse?

In the first new-to-us Jurassic movie, we definitely take a step back in terms of logic and writing. Parts of this movie felt downright bad. The villainous characters are so cartoon-like, I’m not sure if we are meant to take them seriously or not. I will say, the first half of the movie is much stronger than the second, and the movie overall was still a fun watching experience, but it is sad to see the franchise start to really take a turn for the worse here.
