Opening Friday. Starring Adam Driver as a pilot who becomes marooned on Earth 65 million years ago. He and another young survivor must negotiate a dinosaur-infested landscape in a struggle for survival. From the writers of A Quiet Place.

^The comparison to the Jurassic flicks are inevitable. But noting that the writers are the same as A Quiet Place, so I'm anticipating a different vibe.
The pre-reviews have been mixed. Better than the last Jurassic, but that doesn't say much. I'm just going to keep an open mind. The preview doesn't look too bad to me, but what do I know?
The plot sounds like it could be interesting and different enough from JP....maybe.

While I figured out that it was set on Earth during the dinosaur period, I really wish they hadn't changed from the original, ambiguous trailer to the one that straight up says it's set on Earth 65 million years ago.
I'd also liken it more to After Earth than Jurassic Park, since the protagonist has to learn how to adapt and survive in an unkown environment, as opposed to knowing where they were and trying to survive in a known environment in the Jurassic Park movies.

So Buck Rogers backwards?
Or Planet of the Apes backwards, minus the apes.
There are very few truly new ideas.

No big surprises. In fact, all the jump-scares and minor plot twists are things we've vaguely seen in so many other movies. The slow pacing of the first half of the movie may frustrate action junkies, and then it flips to relentless dino dueling.
Driver's acting is fine, however, and the performance of the little girl is endearing. OK for a Saturday streaming rental.
My exact thoughts. I guess all the old school good script writers aged out and this is a result of phone and social media addicted lives. When kids are taught they are all special, everyone gets a trophy, etc, you are just not going to have any creme that rises to the top. I cannot believe how shit film has been for the past 4 years. 1 or 2 really great films a year and that’s it. So much fucking fodder.
