Jurassic world - Fallen kingdom - 2018

 


A big toy movie, maybe better than the previous one but it didn’t win my heart, no.

It’s been three years since everything that happened on that island, and there are surviving dinosaurs there. The local volcano is about to destroy the island, Ian Malcolm thinks we shouldn’t do anything about it, but Claire wants to save the animals. Super rich Benjamin Lockwood calls her, he started it all with Hammond before they had a fall down and now he wants to save them and bring them all to a safe refuge. Mills works for him, Lockwood is old and not in good health, so he can basically do what he wants. 

He sends Claire, Owen and two others on the island with a bunch of men (soldiers, mercenaries, whatever, men who work for him).

Mills’ own agenda is to capture the dinosaurs and sell them. He also got the dna of the Indomitus Rex from his bones, and Dr Wu creates the Indoraptor, a sort of weapon because it has the intelligence of Blu, the raptor that grew a relationship with Owen. 

… well, how can it be all grown up already, since Blue just arrived with the others? Am I missing something here_


Our squad is left behind to die on the island with the remaining dinosaurs (they only took one per species) but they manage to free themselves and board the ship with nobody noticing anything…

They even reach the Lockwood mansion, and only then they’re caught, captured and put in a cell… and left there, even though Mills’ words make you think he’ll want them dead. So why the wait? Ah yes, because the heroes are lucky. So lucky that one little dinosaur opens the cell for them, head-butting it.

There’s a big auction where rich people pay millions upon millions of dollars for each dinosaur, until the little goat-dinosaur gets there and starts head-butting people left and right.

The man in charge of retrieving the dinosaurs enjoyed taking one tooth from each of them, quite cruelly, but the Indoraptor is genetically smarter and it pretends to be asleep, so when the man walks into the cage to get the tooth, he gets eaten and the Indoraptor is free.

It starts hunting, first Maisy then Owen, until Blue arrives to help him and the Indoraptor is killed on other dinosaurs’ bones from the sort of museum in the house.

Maisy is Ben’s granddaughter who  has never known her mom, she’s never even seen a picture; Ben is so naive as to confront Mills alone and even expects him to obey and turn himself in… unbelievable. Of course Mills doesn’t, instead he kills Lockwood.

Maisy later finds him dead, and sees a picture of her mother who looks just like her. Mills tells us why: the reason Lockwood and Hammond parted ways. Lockwood missed his dead daughter so he brought her back with genetics, meaning Maisy is her clone, not her daughter. 

There’s some toxic gas that will kill all the animals trapped there, and Claire and Owen are very much conflicted on what to do, but it’s Maisy who opens the door so they go out free.

The remaining bad guys are killed now.

Blue ‘says’ her goodbye to Owen but has no intention of entering a cage anytime soon, and instead runs free like the others.

Now they’re here, not in a remote secluded island, and people will have to live with it.

Ian Malcolm once again talks about the changes humans are bringing upon our world, genetics is going too far, it has already.

There’s no turning back.


(I’m not actually sure about the dinosaurs already sold; the buyers - and sellers - are dead now, but we saw them being delivered in big trucks now, right?
