I was ok with the first Chris Pratt one. Not great, not awful.
What I really wish they had done was set the next one a couple years down the line. Maybe a couple of those military helicopters that are stealing the dinosaurs at the end crashes in mainland South/Central America. Imagine a Jurassic Park movie that’s a cross between Alien/Predator/Planet of the Apes. Really lean into the highly intelligent apex predator and horror angle.
The problem with these movies, is they keep letting the cat out of the bag, over and over and over. Cat’s out. What’s next?

The second Jurassic World movie was that, sort of.
I think they tried to do that with the new one. The D Rex (are we still adding rex where it doesn’t belong?) was clearly modelled after the xenomorph.
I wanna be clear they failed. I haven’t been this disappointed in a movie since I saw TLJ for the first time
