I discovered this gem on Netflix this week. Bad writing, horrifyingly bad special effects, bad acting, bad directing, great cinematography for some reason. I would love HDTGM to do an episode on it. Miners in Montana accidentally uncover live dinosaurs! It's trying (and failing) so hard to be the next Jurassic Park.

Because it made an obscene amount of money, I have a feeling people or going to disagree with me on this one, but Jurassic World is probably the worst entry in it's series. It uses cartoon cgi in a series known for groundbreaking practical effects. It has the half hearted attempt to develop a romance between Claire and Owen who have absolutely no chemistry. The villain's plan feels like it's ripped out of a Dr. Evil playbook. In the context of the previous films in the series it makes no sense that the Park is now open, or that the public would be bored by live dinosaurs so quickly. Instead of a believable dinosaur menace we get the evil genius hybrid. Realism is thrown out the window long before the raptor and t-rex share a bro nod (yes I demand realism in my dinosaur cloning movies). Claire and Owen show no remorse for their actions which directly lead to the deaths of hundreds. And every potentially frightening moment is thrown out the window for a one liner or slapstick comedy moment.
