I just want to throw this out there: Pyroclastic flows can reach a thousand degrees and hundreds of miles an hour.
My 18-year-old cousin begged me to see this with him and I relented. Halfway through the film, he turns to me and apologies. He should have. This was hot garbage and a mess from start to finish. They wanted to have some huge epic, and they wanted to have some sort of horror thing, and they wanted to have some sort of mystery thing. None worked. None were ever going to work. Sure, they tug at the heartstrings of our childhood buy murdering a bunch of dinosaurs.
Of the multitude of disappointments, I think I am most disappointed by the fact that the black market purchasers weren't a bunch of food conglomerates. If they could clone a bunch of giant dinos on the cheap and then slaughter them by the thousands per year, we would have a whole new meat group to chow down on. **** Russians, too. Just in general.
This is yet another franchise that should have been murdered with poison gas after the first one was created. #1 is fantastic because we all felt the awe of seeing out first dinosaurs alongside the main characters.
