699274, Surprised by the responses... I thought it was awful Posted by Solaam, Sat Jun-13-15 02:51 PM
There were a lot of cringe-worthy moments in the film that took me totally out of the film.
-The "we're supposed to have a family weekend!" talk and then cry. -The divorce conversation -The cliched tough guy living in a shack romancing the straight-laced woman -The "kiss" -The whole TRex sequence at the end -Awful dialogue
Chris Pratt was decent with what he had to work with but Bryce Howard was over the top in my opinion. She's a great actress, so I don't know if this was the direction given to her. This is usually the problem with summer blockbusters it seems.
I enjoyed the dinos in general (the baby dino rides were cool) but I felt like you could really see the difference in the quality of filmmaking between Speilberg's Jurassic and this one. There were a few scenes that tried to make callbacks to the original and they just fell flat.
