Finally got a chance to see the latest Jurassic Park spinoff abomination without in any way financially enriching anyone involved.
...
I knew it was bad, I heard it was bad, I expected it to be bad, but I figured, at least, I could watch it, turn my brain off, and enjoy some CGI dinosauces.
Nope. Nope, nope. I made it through it, mostly because at the time I was editing a paper for a friend and only half paying attention, but even the attention I paid it was wasted. It was beyond stupid, and even the dinosaur scenes weren't very good.
I was just the right age when Jurassic Park came out. I had read the book like a year prior. I was a huge fan of it. I still am. Both the book and the movie. Heck, I even liked the sequel book, kinda. Kinda.
But can we please let this franchise die, already?
Also watched Troll, on Netflix. Unlike Jurassic World: Abomination, I was genuinely looking forward to this one. I was a huge, huge fan of Troll Hunter, and the movie obviously gave off a similar vibe from the trailer.
Disclaimer: I know it's not actually a sequel, but the comparisons are kinda unavoidable.
Sadly, we didn't get a clever, well done movie. What we get is a mess of a movie that can't decide what it really wants to be, and instead comes off as being reminiscent of of the American Godzilla movie... the one with Mathew Broderick, I mean. Which is not a good movie to aspire to be.
