This isn't as bad as some critics have said. It's better than what preceded it.
There are some problems, the science of course if very loose.
The movie. Reminds me of number 2 a bit. First of all, no WAY would anyone be let in close proximity to a volcano under such conditions. Reminded me of the old nut who stayed on Mt. St. Helens when it blew. Forget the science that Michael Crichton
carefully considered. That ended with the introduction of 200ft water creatures in the other movies. The basic plot of the movie is, the U.S. (???) decides to let a volcano on the island wipe out the dinosaurs. Cue Jeff Goldblum telling a U.S.
Subcommittee to let the the dinos get wiped out. Billionaire pal of dead John Hammond decides to save them because he has an island where they can go. His younger aide organizes a mercenary force to rescue some of the animals. The billionaire also
finds the people from the last movie and the woman convinces the dino-trainer to go in and rescue the last raptor. Anyway, the chances of escaping the island would be about as good as someone surviving Pompeii's destruction. The action on the first
island is of course silly but nice to watch. Anyway, the mercenaries are evil, they try to leave the activists on the island, but they manage to get on the boat. The island gets wiped out and the remaining dinos get killed. Which really doesn't matter,
just go find more mosquitoes embedded in amber. Turns out, the aide to the old billionaire is a fake, he just wants to sell the dinos for pure profit. They are also restarting the genetic program for massive profits. He wants to weaponize the dinos.
So he's created a new species of directable, weaponized raptor.
Young aide's daughter tries to tell ailing old grandfather her father is up to no good, but he doesn't listen. The intrepid activists are running around the ship with impunity, not seen by the soldiers. They harvest blood from a T-Rex to infuse the
raptor, "Blue" shot during capture. The little kid sneaks into the biolab below the house to get more info on the plot to breed the new soldier-dino. I kid you not. She sees videos of the dino-wringler "bonding" with the young raptor. D.B. Wong is
back is working for the aide to do the biological stuff. The kid sees the proto-raptor and daddy (the aide) locks her in her room. They have some tag-along black kid from the activist group who serve NO purpose except for glib, stupid comedy and time-
wasting. So the ship docks and off go the trucks with the dinos in them to Lockhart
s (billionaire) estate. Billionaire finds out the aide is working behind his back. So the aide kills the old man by smothering him. The movie justifies it by having the aide say "it was an unholy thing" he did creating the dinosaurs. The activists
get caught at the estate an imprisoned. The aide is interesting, he sounds like Ryan Reynolds, he even looks a bit like him. The aide basically tells the head mercenary to get rid of the activists. Meanwhile, little girl escapes her confinement. The
dinos are now in cages below the mansion. The partner of the aide in the financial venture is a Paul Williams looking guy. They invite a big group of rich evil men (one is..Russian!!) to a kind of dino-auction. The aide fires the caretaker nanny.
To this point, it's been an ok movie. There is no chemistry between the cast members. Indonesian buys the first dino for $10M. Auction reaches $125M. Bull-headed dino bashes down the cell door and the activists escape. The little girl meets the 2
activists. They have to find the other two deadwoods and escape. So at the auction, they wheel out the Indoraptor, the custom-bred one. Russkie bids $20M, even though the animals isn't on auction. They decide to go with it. Price reaches $28M.
Bullhead dino is released into the auction by the activist. It starts head butting everyone. Hybrid raptor cage is stupidly disabled by the activist. The head mercenary tranks the hybrid, thinking it's a way to ensure his bonus payment from the aide.
Then he cleverly gets into the cage with the hybrid to get a tooth for his colleciton. Big mistake. It rips off his arms and eats him. Paul Williams clone tries to escape on the elevator, gets eaten by the escaped hybrid. Aide confronts the activists
and tells them the kid is a clone of the billionaire's original dead daughter. Useless black guy tranks D.B. Wong. They let the raptor, "Blue" out of its cage and it kills a group of soldiers. Gas cylinder is damaged and some of the lab catches fire,
and another gas cylinder with poison gas of some kind starts leaking. The activists and the kid are moving aroudn the mansion, the hybrid raptor is roaming around. The activist shuts down in the house. Other two activists try to fix the ventilation
system to stop the hydrogen cyanide cylinder from overheating and venting. System reboots, house light come back up, hybrid goes after the kid. Woman activist gets gored in the leg by a tree branch in one of the exhibits in the house. It's raining
outside, hybrid climbs on the top of the house. Kid, somehow turning stupid hides in bed, hybrid raptor opens a window and comes into the bedroom. Male activist armed with a rifle, bursts in and shoots the hybrid, it has little effect, then the Blue
raptor shots up and attacks the hybrid. Kid and the guy go scrambling over the rooftops. Then female activist shows up with a rifle and triggers the hybrid's attack response. The Blue raptor shows up, attacks and they both fall through the glass roof
of the house. The hybrid is killed. The activists link up, and the hydrogen tanks leaks and starts killing the dinos in the cages. Woman activist opens the doors to the cages and lets the dinos go. Then she changes her mind, leaves them in the main
holding area to die because "it wouldn't be right to release them" even though she wanted them rehoused. Then the KID hits the door release button and they all escape, because she's "like" them. The dino stampede kills a few mercentaries. The aide (
girl's father) is killed by the T-Rex. The activists leave the house and the Blue raptor is there. The Blue raptor runs away because it doesn't want to be re-transported in a cage. But they've never said where the ship landed. Ends with the
realization the genetic materials and the dinos have been released, Jeff Goldblum is shown testifying again, saying "welcome to Jurassic World." Then it shows dinos running all over the place. The Blue raptor appears to be in Utah. The T-Rex crashes a
zoo and roars at a lion which roars back. Goldblum intones that we are not in competition with the dinos.
