Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Rent & Buy
Three years after Jurassic World was destroyed, Isla Nublar now sits abandoned. When the island's dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen and Claire mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event.
What critics thought
Critics were sharply split on Fallen Kingdom, with the film's darker, Gothic tone and its break from the island-theme-park formula earning genuine enthusiasm from some while others found the screenplay lazy, the villains cartoonish, and the franchise visibly running on fumes. Audiences responded more warmly than critics, a gap that itself tells the story. The one scene almost everyone agreed on: the lone Brachiosaurus left behind on the erupting island, which landed as genuinely haunting in a film otherwise accused of squandering its own emotional possibilities.
“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will not stand up to rigorous scrutiny, and yet, it's kind of an enjoyable, preposterous and thrilling ride that ticks through nostalgia beats like a shopping list”
Lindsey Bahr·Associated Press
“It's enough for a fun fright night at the movies but lacks anything else: character, mystery, wonder, danger. The film's a rush for an audience that only wants the high”
Ty Burr·Boston Globe
“this sequel has the perfunctory vibe that comes from filmmakers who cynically believe the public will buy anything T. rex-related, no matter how shoddy the goods or warmed-over the plot”
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
“the film is too lazy to even bother with the modest housekeeping of explaining its characters' motives”
Matt Goldberg·Collider
“Finally making good on its name, J.A. Bayona's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom says goodbye to the park for good, not just carrying the de-extincted dinos off the island but freeing itself from the genre trappings of the previous four films”
