It’s the end of an era! If you’re this franchise. Or a giant locust. Check out my plot re-cap below. (If you’re after my review, it’s here. My article on my favourite doctors — Grant, Wu and Malcolm — is here) Let’s face it, a plot that makes sense isn’t this movie’s strong point. If… Jurassic World: Dominion — what happens? Read More
What’s up, Docs? Chaos, cats and creation in Jurassic World Dominion
Spoilers ahead. If you’re after my review it’s here. My comprehensive plot re-cap is here. I’ve long held a (flaming, waved in front of a hungry dinosaur) torch for Dr Alan Grant. The floppy hair. The red paisley bandana. His Jurassic Park combo of beige chinos and a blue shirt, the uniform of literally any… What’s up, Docs? Chaos, cats and creation in Jurassic World Dominion Read More
Jurassic World: Dominion 2.5 stars
Four years after the destruction of Isla Nublar, dinosaurs now live and hunt alongside humans all over the world.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom 3.5 stars
‘Twas a dark and stormy night… not unlike the one in Jurassic Park. The dilemma facing any Jurassic franchise director is how to add anything new.

“WHAT IS THAT THING!” Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom Trailer
And this new trailer is MUCH scarier than the last one, with much scarier dinosaurs. Bigger, louder, more feet – huge, clawed and scaly, terrifying as they thump into your bedroom.

It’s not often we get a movie that explains two of the most seismic and important events in all of history within the first few minutes. But Early Man, the latest film from Aardman Animation, does just that; starting with the extinction of the dinosaurs and morphing swiftly into the invention of the Beautiful Game….

Jurassic World 4 stars
Sometimes I think this website needs a genre titled Hubris but then I realise most of the films I’ve reviewed would have to go in it so it wouldn’t be be much help. Humankind’s extraordinary ability to push the bounds of science is a wonderful thing but it naturally goes hand in hand with an… Jurassic World Read More
