Rebirthing Jurassics

Already streaming although still in cinema.. why are movies in trouble?

Let's pretend people don't care about dinosaurs, so we can do "people go to dino island and get into trouble." (Alan!) Evil Corp needs three different blood samples, from land, sea and air, and... getting them isn't that much of a problem. However, while doing that, they are stranded on this dino island, along with a family they picked up, and then they walk around the island for a while until they get to the end act where some action has to happen with this movies goofy looking dinosaur. Yay?

Something something metaphor for this movie franchise, and yes, when you just remake the previous movies over again, again!, then yes, people are going to get bored with it. At times, I was reminded of the Godzilla movie in which we followed the people and only accidentally saw the giant creature. That's not a good association!

Acting wise, it's all fine, they cover all the stereotypes and you can guess who will live and die as soon as they are introduced. The dinosaurs are also fine, but the D-Rex (the new one) does look extremely stupid.

I assume "Rebirth" means they are rebooting this series again. Maybe next time they'll try for a good one?
