It’s one of my favourite movies of the year. Delivered exactly what it promised.

It uses every action/survival plot possible.

It's rather boring though. And that's probably the worst sin a movie featuring Adam Driver fighting dinosaurs could be. Because, how?! It feels a lot longer than its run time.

There's no sense of space in the world, the characters cycle through different backdrops without a lot of thought to them. So it never felt like we could connect to the prehistoric planet as a physical location.

Strangely it opts to put a language barrier between the leads which serves no purpose other than to prevent a deeper relationship between the two. It just makes the film's job harder than necessary. Whatever characters we get are bare bones and one dimensional.

The choice to mostly avoid realistic, scientifically accurate dinosaurs could have been used for interesting creature design, but it isn't. They're just a bit bland and I doubt they'll stand out to people. So really it ends up disappointing dino nerds, without exciting monster fans.

It's the shallowest of the Sad Dad's Bad Day cinematic universe.
