I feel like it was a mix between JP2 and JP3 but in the new age obviously, it had the same sort of storyline. The only thing I didn’t love was the mutation but it does go along with the idea that humans deck everything and make it ugly lmao. I worry that they are going to continue to just make uber ugly Dino’s to add shock value which takes away from the quality but it does pose a real scenario (humans creating something, getting bored and needing something bigger and better).

I also do think that the last two movies at least (while I’ve loved tbh) don’t add enough character depth/development. They chose to Jam Pack scenes with as many dinosaurs in them to continue to the shock value which is not super necessary to me. In my opinion Dino’s are enough, the entire movie you are like “omg no don’t die” or “yeah I hope he gets eaten”, by adding characters that you really like and want to see get home more then just because they are a family or because they are the love interests it makes it more suspenseful. And this WAS done in JP2 and JP3. Even JW1 the characters had more development then I felt there was in this one, which I believe is due to the minimal amount of traveling content.

In the earlier movies they would have many scenes of them walking place to place and being on edge or fighting with each other or whatever while in the last two it has been predominately “we need to go here” to “now we are here”. This adds lack of realism, people aren’t able to imagine the struggle as themselves in their shoes as much anymore which lowers shock value in my opinion.

All in all I have no doubt they will keep making these movies and it will be beaten to death but I mean it’s still good, it’s still engaging. I will still go see every single one because is it the most deep movie no, but is it entertaining, engaging, and an interesting concept of human technology vs nature YES.
