No offense to all of this movie's fans, but I did not like this one. The visuals and sets were fantastic, but the story was boring and took way too long. A film's style does not a movie make; it requires substance as well. It's a shame because I really wanted to see this before I watched Steven Soderbergh's remake, and while that one is shorter, I've heard it's not amazing. I do hope it's better than this one though.
Say hello to Damien Chazelle's first feature film. Is it any good? Yes, but it's definitely lacking in comparison to his later great works. Overall, it exudes "beta version" energy of La La Land, particularly the third act of the latter film. The camerawork is weird because, a lot of the time, it goes on weird close-up shots of people's faces, and it really distracts from what's happening. However, I think this aspect is best during the musical sequences which…
This movie is tense, compelling, and filled with stellar performances from the twelve main characters. Before watching this, I didn't know a movie could be this good, but here we are. This is a movie that everybody should watch before they die. I love this movie so much.
Wow, this movie lived up to the hype! Everything was awesome! The special effects were great, the characters were great (especially Al McWhiggin and Ian Malcolm, hoo boy), the music by John Williams was phenomenal, Spielberg's direction was amazing, and the way this movie goes from light-hearted fun dinosaur movie to a straight-up horror movie is utterly insane! It's well-acted, well-directed, well-written, tense, funny, and all-around entertaining. I look forward to watching it again!
