Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom...Try not to Think About It

Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom is the second in the reboot of the Jurassic Park movies. It is a predictable thrill ride. Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt are back as is a brief two-scene appearance by Jeff Goldblum as the original Jurassic Park's Dr. Malcolm at the beginning and end of the movie.


There is nothing surprising in the movie. It's a fun and exciting with some nice moments of humor. It also has a few moments of CGI that come across as pretty obvious CGI. Bad guys are immediately identifiable and so you know exactly who will get eaten by the end of the movie. Let me tell you that the dinosaurs are extremely well-fed. There is also the appearance of the true/accidental bad guy in the Jurassic Movies which has been, Dr. Henry Wu. It is Wu who is creating these creatures. He is clearly driven by his obsession and not the chaos theory of life will always find away. BD Wong who plays Wu, and has since the 1993, will most likely be back for Jurassic World 3.  

As you watch the movie, just let it wash over you. You'll have a much better time than trying to figure out things like:

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

the time line of having the partner and long-time friend of John Hammond from the original movie being basically the same age of Hammond but now twenty plus years later and having a ten-year-old granddaughter who is actually not his granddaughter being the cause of their "falling out" so many years before her creation;


trying to understand how anyone could think that a dinosaur, even a highly trained one, that can be killed by poisonous gas, tranquilizer darts, or bullets would make a good weapon;

that no one seems to get the idea that dinosaurs are not an endangered species but a created one;

that messing with the natural order is never a good idea;

why a T-Rex mus stand above it's prey and roar in the same exact stance after every kill;

making your own species of dinosaur is also not a good idea;

and neither is opening an amusement park on an active volcano...


You get the idea. If you think about anything other than the thrill that is Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom, you will find yourself questioning your judgement. Of course that is pretty true of most of the Jurassic movies.

Just sit back and enjoy. I will likely not buy the Blu-ray.
