A Brilliant Conflict

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I don't usually bother to write an IMDb review for movies that I dislike, but this horrible film was so bad that I felt compelled to issue a warning to any unsuspecting viewer out here who might stumble upon it by mistake. This may very well have been the worst movie I have ever seen. Everything about it stank: Sleazy CGI, wooden acting, no plot, terrible direction, a poor soundtrack, the list goes on and on. Save your money and avoid this like the plague. The only reason I gave it a score of 1 is that IMDb doesn't have a zero available.

"Jurassic City" should be taken for what it is, which is a cash-in on the popular "Jurassic Park" franchise, complete with the fairly bad CGI dinosaurs and effects, as well as some wooden acting performances.The story is about a group of young fraternity girls being arrested for driving and driving. They are taken to a correctional Facility that apparently also holds a hardened serial rapist. A militant group brings a load of secret cargo to aforementioned Facility, but as the cargo breaks out, the Facility becomes the hunting grounds for predatory dinosaurs.A very generic, albeit implausible storyline with enough plot holes to make even a Swiss cheese jealous. And this is complimented by CGI animated dinosaurs that just weren't fully believable. They could have used a bit more money and effort of the CGI effects.The movie does have a couple of familiar faces on the cast list, just to lure in the audience because the semi-famous actors didn't have that big roles after all. I am, of course, talking about Ray Wise and Vernon Wells here. The overall acting in "Jurassic City" was as to be expected from such a movie; wooden, prehistoric and forgettable.All in all "Jurassic City" is not overly worth the time and effort, and there are far better movies in the same genre available.

Writing a review of this . . . uh . . . film is not quite as bad as watching it. And if I can save anyone else the pain that I went thru, then maybe it is worth it.Is it any good? No. Not at all.Acting OK? No. Not at all.Dinos rock? No. Not at all.Interesting story? A twist maybe? No and No.I have a soft spot for "b" movies, but I don't know what this is.Save your money and get something else. Anything.You might think I am being harsh or grandstanding. Believe me you will stop thinking this if you ever dare to contaminate your DVD with Jurassic City. Go for a walk instead.

I really wanted to enjoy this movie. I am a big Monique Parent fan ( she played Scarlet ), but she only had a bit part, and not put to good use ( IMHO ). A couple of other faces I recognized but could not put names to until I checked on IMDb.I had put in a pre-order to get the DVD, and waited for its final release and arrival in my mail box.A HINT at a little girl on girl action, but, nada. Girls in bikinis but no T&A ( which MIGHT have made this bearable ). Most of the "action" ( and I use the term loosely ) is in a jail ( which is where the producers belong ). No spoiler alert needed; I fell asleep after an hour. I'll try again tonight. I'd recommend saving your money and wait to see it on SciFi or other cable channel.
