Greatest hits... and misses
24 December 2022
Let's face it, if you're here for the dinosaurs you'll have a nice time. There's plenty of them in the movie and as the title suggests, they are poised to rule the world. Other than that though, this is a mediocre plot at best.

After a good setup in the previous films, the writers missed an opportunity to ask the big questions that were fascinating about the Spielberg original. Instead they go to familiar terrority and we are again put in some park with some evil scientist billionaire, treading worn out paths and scenes we've seen before, with too many coincidences and bad plot twists. A lot of misses are seen between this greatest hits show, most notably the bigger questions on genetics. And nostalgia is not enough to save it.

Let's spare the actors because they had to work with this script and did their best, and of course the special effects team because, hey, dinosaurs right?

So if you're here for those dinosaurs, they're good. But be prepared, and in the vain of chaos theorist Ian Malcolm (Goldblum): you'll probably root for them instead of humanity after this bit.
