SEQUEL TO 'JURASSIC WORLD' ALSO KNOWN AS 'FALLEN KINGDOM'

Well not exactly... A selected Noah's Ark of dinos do wind up at an auction in a billionaire's mansion basement, sold to even wealthier buyers who plan to use the revamped prehistoric creatures as war machines — it's always the big bad military behind everything, and this time the hackneyed device (wasting modern-classic heavy Ted Levine in the process) not only makes no sense, but is a throwaway distraction for an overlong ripoff climax of when John Hammond's grandchildren dodged the raptors in that roomy JURASSIC PARK kitchen (remember the great raptor reflection scene?) or when THE LOST WORLD took the monsters a step beyond. Which is too bad because what winds up a silly zero-dimension carnival funhouse started out a semi-thrilling one-dimensional rollercoaster ride.
