Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom was a much awaited sequel to the hugely successful movie Jurassic World. With huge expectations riding on its shoulders, the movie does not match up to the first part, but does not dissapoint either.
The movie talks about genetic power and uses it to introduce new forms of Dinosaur species on screen, who are both terrific and frightening to watch. This is one of the things that goes for the movie. Another positive for the movie is that though it seems like a derivative of The Lost World, it's writing is better than that movie and thus scores positive marks for it. The Lost World had tried to bring newness to the Jurassic franchise but had failed. This sequel works where the other sequel had failed. But it is not in the same class as the first Jurassic World movie which had never before seen stunts and situations, and that made the movie awesome to watch. This movie too tries to bring in new situations and new stunts, but they are not as awe inspiring. Thus even though it does not have many flaws, it is being compared against its predecessor and thus falls short of expectations.
The visual effects of the movie are superb and they are what make the dinosaurs appear real and bring in the excitement. The dinosaurs are the real heroes of this movie and one cannot imagine the work that must have gone in to bring the creatures to life.
J. A. Bayona has done a good job in bring the movie to life, but seems to have been limited by the movie's writing. His horror movie skills come to the fore during a few dinosaur - human confrontations and they are the high points of the movie. He has been directing different kind of cinema and this is his first in the action genre. Inspite of that, he has not disappointed the movie watching audience.
Overall this is a good action movie which everyone can watch with their families. So go out and get entertained.
Rating - 3.5 / 5
