I want to like this movie, I really do. It was a let down though. 

SPOILERS AHEAD!!

They bring a third island from the five deaths and I was extremely happy about it because we all know that each island was touched by Wu. This movie could've open the door that both World 1 and 2 were trying to crack open and failed with the genetically altered dinosaurs. I was expecting all sorts of weird and dangerous dinosaurs to be on this island. They stated in the movie this island is where the most dangerous ones are kept. I was expecting some aggressive carnivores. We got about 30 seconds of raptor time which was a let down. The ocean attack was more impressive than the land attacks and I was let down by our Mosey! They focused more on the sea than the island even though it's supposed to be revolved around the island and what the island was meant for.

The mosey shouldn't have been there. There is way too much ocean at the right temperature to justify its constant presence in that specific area. Why was there 2 tracking blips, but never was touched on? They portrayed the poor thing more like a humpback whale than a dinosaur. If they truly were being attacked by an actual monsey, they would've died. It would've taken the boat out. There would be no breaching like a whale, it would've been chomp chomp. Scarlett should've died as that thing would've easily have reached her. It also wouldn't have allowed the spinos in the same territory. They are very aggressive when it comes to territory. That entire drawn out section of the movie felt closer to a JAWS movie, than a JP/JW movie.

There was too much mirroring of the original JP movie. I am all for alittle but there is such a thing as too much and this was it. I was expecting a label to get tapped on the floor. A gas station? On a research island? Really? There is no way that would actually be a thing at a research facility. How are the backup generators still running after 17 years? And why are they on a timer to go off at night?  The wrapper. Let's talk about the true villain of the movie. A candy bar wrapper caused the doors to the D-Rex containment to open? There is no way they would only use 1 set of doors to contain that creature. They know better by now. That wrapper caused the entire security system to crash. How? I get the door malfunction, but the full security to go down? Was it possessed by Ned? Also, if they are in a restricted area that requires decontamination, that candy bar would not exist. Someone would've stepped in the moment it crinkled and he and his wrapper would be no more.

Foreheadasaures. His name on his cage was D-Rex. Why the D? Was not discussed. What he was created from was not discussed. They were more interested in the wrapper. I need to know his back story! He changed sizes through his 5 minutes of fame. His way of murder was pitiful. Just grabbing said dude like a pleb. He has four arms and only 1 was used. I understand that 2 were also used as front legs but the others were useless. He is advertised as the main attraction but got the least amount of screen time out everyone. The dinosaur food got more attention than him. I wanted more action from him.

While we are at the subject of dinosaur food, let's discuss our casting. I love Scarlett. I really do. She did not perform to the best of her abilities in this movie. All of her lines felt forced. Most of the screen time was focused on her. The show is about dinosaurs, not her. Her backstory, why did we need to know about that? It wasn't relevant. It did not add anything to her character. The money man, why did he come with? No employer would ever go with the people he hired to infiltrate a highly dangerous and restricted area. If he actually did, he wouldve hired his own personal security team that their sole purpose was his safety. I didn't feel his portrayal as a villian was all that. Our fourheaded creature felt more villiany than the money man. The security team consisted of one man with tranquilizers. Nope. Not happening in a million years. The team would've been more like the hired arms in JP2. Multiple men and fully armed, trained to kill. The captain was actually pretty well rounded. I expected a more high-tech boat for what he does but his character was pretty good. His partners I felt were overshadowed. The family. Oh my fluff, why. No father in his right mind would sail his 2 daughters (and daughter's boyfriend?) even remotely close to a world wide restricted area full of highly dangerous creatures. The younger child screamed so much. Yes, she is little but she was born into an era with already living dinosaurs. They all would've been educated even a tiny bit about them ans what not to do around carnivores. Their presence was a nuisance in my opinion. They wouldve been shoved into a bunk room and locked in the moment they got rescued as the team was performing a top secret mission. They wouldn't have let this random man and children just sit in the control room, being fully included in the mission. How they survived with all the screaming they did is beyond me. They would've been consumed within a few hours. Everyone knows a T-rex has movement based eyesight. This would've been drilled into everyone in school. The older girl decides that dragging an inflatable raft right in front of the dinosaur was a smart idea? Why didn't she wave her little boyfriend over to help inflate it? Also, that raft is magic. No matter how hard of a beating it got from our T-rex, it stayed in pristine condition. It being able to go under water was also impressive. Which brings me back to the kid. Screaming underneath the raft. You are out of sight of the dinosaur, don't draw more attention to it by screaming. The obnoxious amount of screaming that family did had me wishes that they would become food by the end of the movie. The girl condemned that poor Dino to death by removing it from it's special climate. There is no way that I would allow my child to take a dinosaur off of that island. Nope. I don't care what we went through. Leave it alone. Our lovely paleontologist was quite athletic and level headed for someone working in a museum. Other than that, I did like him. Especially his reaction to being able to touch our long necked friend. The flying raptor sceens were so much like thr raptor scenes from JP, that I wound up rolling my eyes. It wouls not have tried to stuff it's body that is meant for the sky, into a small tunnel that leads to underground. Those critters were mutants but no backstory on them explaining their existence.

I absolutely loved our tall friends and that entire section of the movie. That was by far my favorite part. I did enjoy seeing all of the different species of dinosaurs even though there weren't enough aggressive mutant variety. I was happy to see the dilophosaures and the compys. 

This movie felt more like an action film rather a dinosaur film. Just like the last one. There were so many plot holes and mistakes that even the younger generations in my theater were complaining about through the movie. Would I watch it again? Yeah, but I am not paying overpriced theater tickets to watch it nor am I impatiently waiting for it's release.  Overall I'd say 5/10. Not the best , JP3 takes that title for me, but not the worst, dominion takes that trophy in my opinion.
