Some spoilers
Jurassic Park 5. I came into this movie suspicious, first off the very premise, Isla Nublar is going to erupt and its going to kill all the dinosaurs unless they're evacuated. Look we all know John Hammond, John Hammond spared no expense, he did not put his dinosaur park on a geologically active island, they try to cover for that by saying the island only recently became reactive, that's a lazy cover for lazy writing. Speaking of lazy writing, Hammond had an estranged business partner who has never been mentioned until now, and in overly obvious casting he is played by James Cromwell. This whole movie is just trying to get dinosaurs onto the North American mainland, I get that, they are trying to move this franchise into Planet of the Apes territory, but they could have tried harder, and don't even get me started on the villains. All that being said the climax at Benjamin Lockwood's California estate is fun to watch, and there is a little twist there that expands the scope of the franchises concerns above simply dinosaurs, but to other kinds of mucking with genetics and nature. The exploration of this hubris could go in interesting directions in the future, however if this film is any indication it probably won't. Please prove me wrong, various Spielberg affiliated production companies. **
