Jurassic park rebirth
Scalett J has been begging to be in J Park movie so glad that she got her wish. She was also the lead and heck, the Avengers did bold her well as lead and it did help her land well in the movie. Props to her holding up her age as she still is relatively young (40).
Can't kill the series as it made 6X (600M) in box office so they will just continue to print money with this.
Few praises as the script did well with a solid backdrop and moving along quick into / onto the dinosaurs. Was it the best premise? No. It's always no. Rich guy has billions, wants some type of DNA, and hires people to get what they want. Thta's always the formula and background; extremly cheesy but whatever.
Scarlett Johansson as a covert operation expert (hilarious, more on this later), and Mahershala Ali were decent star power and you always have a scientist as well as a 'banker'; all had really zero backdrop or story development...then again, do you really need it?
What's interesting was a second story line of a random family on a boating trip was a really weird - yeda yeda it ties it in at the end, but it was honestly a waste and not necessary.
Fun facts - there were so many random product placement which was really not necessary. Altoids, M&M’s, snickers, twix, Dr pepper, Lay's (which was hilarious as the bags of chips still had 'air' in an abandoned corner store).
Holes in the movie. Overall I did enjoy the movie, as few wtf moments were just the lack of firepower in the movie. You're going on an expedition and guns? bombs? flares? anything? Not even a rambo knife.. come on....
When you're trying to jump off the boat, you want to pack your post important things... Then half way half way in, you tell everyone to throw all away and travel light with just a backpack... sureeee. Given Scarlett played an expert and doing all these missions, she seems pretty shitty trying to tag a dinosaur and not being nimble in the action movie LOL. Rock climbing scene was a joke, super thin rope that apparently is around 1000 ft rope that snaps easily.
All in all, I did like the action / music / intensity and the dino chases.. heck, it was fun - which gave tribute back to the 1st movie to say the least. I still think the 1st reboot with Chris pratt was the best - given it made 10X the return. Cause after all the jokes, action, and script was good.
Thank goodness they didn't throw in any dumb boring love story in this movie. BTW, as much as the studio is all about Equality, Diveristy, Inclusion / woke etc... there were no asians in the movie, but yes to always a tough butch and a token black guy who gets killed, scientist with glasses and a vest.. check mark on that for sure!
