  • As this film's predecessor so brilliantly put it, "no-one’s impressed by a dinosaur anymore," and that's an issue that's only ever going to become increasingly prevalent with each subsequent instalment of the long-running Jurassic movie saga. Filmmakers and Mesozoic theme-park owners alike can no longer rely on the shock and awe of seeing a dinosaur brought to life for the first time like they could back in 1993, so whilst at their best these projects offer a neat commentary on commercialism and the consequences of humans meddling with nature, at their worst they're overrun with effects-driven action and empty spectacle.
