Cliches are down, while unpredictable was the key word for this episode. Hats down for the writers, also the cinematography is top notch. I really hope they can keep up the high standards they set for this show.

So far, it is much more engaging than the first season of Game of Thrones and (something that I really like) the story is compact, not following 1000 characters and plots all over the place, as GOT did while failing miserably to give most of all those story arcs a proper ending.

GoT had indeed very good cast and likable characters, HotD is still to establish undeniable characters for their roles, but they are on the right path in my opinion.

Like I said in the title, this movie was all I wanted from a Jurassic movie and more.

In a world where a movie like the new Dune, where you watch for 10 mins a scene where nothing is happening, just someone staying on the bad, starring into the abyss than moving a little inside the room while the music is literally putting you to sleep, is considered art and great cinematography, I am not surprised that a movie like Jurassic world is not beeing liked.

We had crazy cool dinosaurs scenes, likable characters, chases, more chases, more dinosaurs. I mean, what the @$#@# do someone expect from a Jurassic movie? I loved every second of it at the cinema, while falling asleep at a movie like Dune (I loved the Linch version a lot) with zero character dev., zero imersion, empty useless scenes and "special effects" of sand and more sand.

I am smart enough to love movies like Shawshank Redemption or Jurassic World Domination, different movies, different genres, take them for what they are set to do.

I am curious what people expected from this new Jurassic movie, psychological drama, Oscar wining scenario? It seems that they wanted unpredictable script, apparently a predictable scenario means a movie is trash. The old Jurassic movies where very unpredictable: the animlas escape always, the good guys are getting chased and survive every time while the bad guys got eaten. Simple and fun fantasy with dinosaurs. That's all, great visuals, cool action. That's the genre... Old school movie for old school fans. I really hope the next Jurassic movie is not some psychological drama in slow motion in order to be enjoyed by the new movie fans...

The title says it all.

This episode was a huge missed opportunity.

The directing destroyed what could have been a great episode.

The action scenes and the story telling are childish and a lot more naive than the animated series Clone Wars and Rebels. The cartoons had a lot more mature content with drama and good story telling.
