Leans more toward unintentional comedy than summer blockbuster disaster movie.

The film ultimately collapses under its own weight.

It holds the tension with the empathy and effectiveness of a large metal vise.

Serves up a fun-size treat instead of a full snack.

An experience every bit as chaotic as the exploding island of Isla Nublar.

Embraces chaos as it explores what happens when dinosaurs can no longer be contained.

Needs more Jack-Jack and less humdrum

Skillfully mixes playfulness and humanity for a touching look at motherhood.

Foster sports the look of a no-frills grandmother with a deadpan gaze that could stop a bullet.

This is one flat Ocean. That might make for smooth sailing, but not so smooth for a film.

Sadly only inherits the bad habits of the worst M. Night Shyamalan films.

A film bursting with potential that slowly deflates like an overfilled balloon.
