If I review this comparing it to the OG, obviously it's nowhere near it. It's not even the same type of movie anymore. There's no real deliberation about the ethics, morality, and effects of bringing dinosaurs back. This is mostly just action set-piece fare these days. If I review it from a generic PG-13 action set-piece fare point-of-view, it was fun. Jonathan Bailey was a standout for me and was very entertaining. The sub-plot of the family capsizing and being accidentally involved in their dangerous hunt for the... whatever mutated dinosaur they were hunting was. Honestly, who even cares anymore? The plot is so lost at this point. I watch for loud noises, big music, and (mostly) cool CGI moments. Docked half a point because the D-Rex's design was straight up ass.
