Not Exactly Reborn

Just back from the cinema, having watched what is probably my one & only movie in a cinema for the year - if my track record for recent years is anything to go by. So here are some brief late night notes on Jurassic World Rebirth (which I think was the title.):

Quite a few good bits. Never got invested in the story. Got bored in the action sequences, especially the one on the ocean in the early sequence. Predictable, but well crafted. No stars in the cast, which I liked. CGI didn't work for me. Touched on serious themes with some intelligence, but felt manipulative. As part of a franchise worthy enough I suppose. But I don't like franchises. Too loud. Some striking visuals, especially on the island. But it never looked quite real. Script well-crafted enough, but felt like it was written by a committee. A talented one.

And so to bed.
