'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' (2018) Movie Review

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom—or as I like to think of it, Jurassic Park 4: Part 2—is a bizarre proposition. A mess of rampaging dinosaurs, too-convenient storytelling, and an utter absence of emotional stakes, the film offers a few entertaining moments. But overflowing with sheer nonsense, insufferable characters, and a shocking lack of thrills, it’s insanely boring for long, long stretches, something a movie ostensibly about dinosaurs eating people should absolutely not be. I can forgive almost anything in the pursuit of watching giant prehistoric reptiles chow down on flat, terrified characters, but I sure as hell can’t cotton to dull and drab.

'Star Wars: Episode 9' May Have A Director

Colin Trevorrow has said, recently, that he’s not going to direct a Star Wars movie, that after working on Jurassic World, part of an extant franchise as well as a huge step up in production scale than his only other feature, SafetyNot Guaranteed, he wants to do something personal and original. But as we’ve learned time and time again, never say never, and according to one report at least, he just got the job directing Star Wars: Episode IX.
