Jurassic World movies have gone off the rails, and this new iteration doesn't seem intent on getting back on track.
When I go to a movie to see dinosaurs, I want to see dinosaurs - not made-up mutant monsters. And if I do se a movie with made-up mutant monsters, I want them to have a very believable origin story.
Jurassic World: Rebirth gave us two hours of contrived plot points badly recycled from earlier movies, and delivered increasingly absurd mutant monsters. The biggest of those had a terrible design, like it fell down the stairs and struck its head so hard it grew an alarming goose egg.
I would have expected this Jurassic World follow-up to be more about humanity facing its own extinction, not humanity suffering the inconvenience of a sauropod that wandered out of his zoo into the streets of the city and caused a traffic jam. The public in this movie isn't impressed by dinosaurs anymore.
While I respect that Gareth Edwards (whom I've seen in person) made some decent movies in the past, this isn't one of them. Sure the rendering is pretty good, but when humans don't act like humans, dinosaurs don't look like dinosaurs, fate repeats itself, coincidences happen every hour on the hour and dialog sometimes stretches on so long I start thinking about my shopping list, something's gone horribly wrong.
If you want a decent dinosaur violence movie, go see Primitive War instead.

If you see only ONE dinosaur movie this year, choose Primitive War instead of Jurassic World: Rebirth. It's a lot less patronizing.
Primitive War is like Dog Soldiers (2002), replacing the werewolves with dinosaurs, and set in Viet Nam during the war instead of the present day Scottish Highlands. And the cyclical chaos has a very similar pace.
The two movies are alike not just in their strong points but in their weaknesses.
On the one hand, the action and effects are great. On the other, the soldiers suffer from cliché movie squadron syndrome: testosterone-injected pejoratives, over-use of the "F-" word, and the occasional war trauma.
But God, man, the dinosaurs are terrific! While the movie favored particular predatory dinosaurs (and over-amped them a bit too high), there was a full array of species to play with, and they were rendered according to the latest science. The movie did not romanticize them like Jurassic World or Jurassic Park. Spielberg made some very effective "wow" moments introducing dinosaurs with the most realistic CGI we had seen until that time, Luke Sparke, who directed Primitive World (which could have used a more creative title) looks past all that and keeps us focused on horror sci-fi, and it doesn't pull its punches. (Or carnage.)
Actor Ryan Kwanten carries most of the movie, and he does fairly well. I didn't even recognize Tricia Helfer at first, and she was competent as expected. Some of the other actors could have been improved though. And some of the character design, especially with the leadership roles.
But if you're looking for Platoon meets Jurassic Park with the vibe of Dog Soldiers, and you prefer only the best dinosaur effects and designs without going "kaiju" like Jurassic World movies did, this is your movie!
