Summary
No franchise is ever allowed to end anymore, as such it was only a matter of time before the Jurassic Park franchise got the soft-reboot treatment.
I remember I watched this a few times when it first came out at the cinema, I am by no means a big Jurassic Park fan, but I do find the films to be good popcorn fare. They aren’t challenging, but they never needed to be.
There is always something exciting about watching a CGI dinosaur cause havoc, however, that is offset when you force in human characters that are so bland that you can’t remember their names seconds after the credits roll.
Chris Pratt is just playing his usual cool guy action role and doing nothing even remotely close to acting, and though Bryce Dallas Howard fares slightly better her character is ridiculous in all the wrong ways, the decision to have the character run in heels is still baffling to me.
Overall, it is easier to watch and less objectionable than its sequel but it is never more than forgettable.
Pros.
It is watchable
There is fun to be had
The spectacle
Cons.
The human characters
It is very forgettable

The characters were forgettable, and the kids were annoying. I remember liking Tim and Lexi in the original movie but these kids… ugh.
