What Reviewers Say

  • Visually impressive with some exciting dinosaur action.

A strong, **strong** opening that it never recovers* from. (*"never recovers from" here meaning "never stops dissapointing afterwards".) _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

I felt embarrassed to be watching this. It's an embarrassing fever dream. I abandoned it halfway through its runtime.
