EXCLUSIVE 2-Disc Edition JURASSIC WORLD Fallen Kingdom DVD Set
P**R
Return to Isla Nublar
A new movie in the Jurassic Park franchise. Sequel to 'Jurassic World' and you do really need to have seen that in order to get into this.It's three years since the events of that film. Owen and Claire haven't exactly lived happily ever after. But are reunited when the volcano on the island where the park was becomes active. And it's a race to save the dinosaurs.But then they find there's more to the expedition than meets the eye...Like the previous film, this does exactly what you would expect, with lots of dinosaur set pieces and humans in peril as a result. But it also does, to it's credit, try to do things a little differently. Which is why the plot does take the story to places the franchise has never been before. It is written as the middle of a trilogy, and like many of those that I've read in book form, it does move things along and set things up for a third and final one.It is a thoroughly watchable and likeable blockbuster bit of escapism. Like the first film, it doesn't ever try or promise to be anything more than that. But whilst it is as watchable a bit of escapism as that was, it just doesn't quite have the freshness that that did. Thus it's a four rather than five star release.Jeff Goldblum does reprise his role from the original Jurassic Park. For only a couple of minutes of screentime.Do be aware that although the film does contain dinosaurs, some bits might be too scary for the very young, and they might be a bit too young to follow the plot as well. In which case, there's no point In letting them watch it, is there? Yes, lady who was behind me in the cinema, I am talking about you...The disc has the following language and subtitle options:Languages: English,. English audio description.Subtitles: English. Arabic.The disc begins with several trailers, which can be skipped via the next button on the dvd remote.It contains the usual flyer with code for downloading a copy of the film from a website onto a digital device.And dvd owners actually do quite well with this for once when it comes to extras:There are ten different featurettes. None run more than five mins, and you can't select play all for them so have to watch them one at a time. They all look at different aspects of the production, and despite being short are all pretty good. It helps to have Chris Pratt at the front of most as he is an affable presenter.Same goes for the other extra section, Chris Pratt's Jurassic Journals. These are twelve short films, all no longer than a minute, in which he interviews various production staff and in two of them, actors. All are short and fun watches, and you will learn a lot about various roles on a movie set from this. These can be watched individually, or via a play all option.

Time to let the Jurassic Franchise go extinct
I should have known better and not waste my money on this hopefully final Jurassic movie. The film makers are clearly running out of ideas. This one is mostly all about the usual predictable greedy, ruthless people, the types you know get eaten at some point, and the dippy equally predictable 'I want to safe the world' kind of types. All characters have one thing in common, they're one-dimensional cliches. You never really get to know them or care about them. The few dinosaurs in this movie were kind of humanised in their facial expression and they even have human emotions it seems. But as I say, there are very few dinosaurs in this movie. It's mostly about a monster and the 'human' raptors. Bizarre! Apart from that the film is totally gliding into the monster movie genre. Oh and there are plenty of moments that are recycled from previous Jurassic movies. I even spotted a scene that leans on a scene from Lord of the Rings! And for some reason, Owen, the male lead character, is occasionally trying in vain to be funny. All in all, come on guys, it really is time to let the Jurassic Franchise go extinct. R.I.P.

More about humans than dinosaurs
There's enough content here to strip out 20 minutes of human conversations and leave a decent 1 hour 40 dinosaur film. Unfortunately the human characters outside Chris Pratt are totally paper thin stereotypes.This film takes us more into a human world than a dinosaur world unfortunately. It's no longer "when dinosaurs rules the world", but "when rich men in American films strike deals".Some decent action, but way too much human talking for my kids to ever watch this again.

Does what it says on tin - Dinosaurs eat humans but not the main cast who have signed up for sequel
Basically the same as any other Jurassic Park type film. Big angry dinosaurs biting anything that looks tasty. If you've seen one you've seen them all. Will probably make a shed load of money for some fat Hollywood producer sitting back trading off his name and past glories while casually counting the cash rolling in to his offshore tax haven.
