And finally, who do they think is buying the absurd narrative that “people got tired of dinosaurs”, and that the only way to keep the parks going is to invent new, genetically mutated monsters?

I believe this was meta commentary.

People said that after Dominion, but people just got tired of that story, so they killed it and brought it back to the roots (Dinos on jungle island). They "killed off" the JW trilogy in the opening exposition.

I could be wrong, but I think the new direction is to get away from the mutations, hence why the big bad looked retarded.

Just like how they wanted to get away from raptors being the stars every movie (with the scene where they set up the raptors only to have them unceremoniously killed).

Does Scarlett get nekkid?

Wife wanted to see it so we did. Saw it in XD and 3D. Visibility it was great but as the last couple Jurrassic park movies it predictable and borders on cringe worthy on the story. Wife loved it but me 5 out of 10 not terrible.

Eta:SPOILER

The girl pulling the yellow raft out while the T-rex was right there. I just shook my head hey girl how about waiting til the T-rex leaves.

Odd question to ask after how well publicized her recent comments regarding the 'male gaze' which came out, just like week or so.

No, she doesn't get nekkid, but still finds herself in very form fitting T - shirts and there's a gratuitous arse shot or three.

Despite her protest about being objectified, she's got no problem showing off her body features, if not bare skin.

There's so much wrong with that sequence of events. They don't know if 'following the river' will take them to the alleged village. Nor do they know if it's navigable. But because dad 'hurt' his leg, but not enough to hobble along as fast as the rest, a boat MUST be gotten.

Without breaking it all down, there's not a single thing in that series of events that makes a lick of sense. I'll say it again, they all should be dead, and it's not even close.

I'd say all anyone needs is a basic idea of the "Jurassic " franchise. It doesn't lean too heavily on anything from the past regarding plot or characters.

Rebirth was a silly name, but it sums it up nicely. Maybe do over, reboot, or 'How about if we try this?' instead.

NGL, ScarJo has a presence.

That scene in Ironman 2 where she looks up at Tony when he's in the ring and he says "what?" just because her eyes are so damn ...yeah, that's me.

This is the type of movie you wait to see when it's free on some subscription app on your tv.

I gotta laugh at all the nitpicking of the mutated dinosaur movie going on in this thread

And her dad just lets her go

frick that dad man. I can’t believe we were supposed to be rooting for him

1. Bring your 8 year old on a floating shoebox in the middle of the pacific
2. Let your other daughter sleep with her pothead semi-retarded boyfriend 5 feet from you
3. Get REAL pissy when these random strangers, who saved your life btw, endanger your children slightly more than you did on your “vacation”

I enjoyed the dinosaur scenes but half the people that are supposed to be likable sucked a big one. In a happy ending, that dad is getting served with a Divorce Modification a week after returning home
