Okay, let's talk Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. You know, the one where everything goes boom? I have thoughts. Strong thoughts.
Where Did *They* Think We Were Watching?
Seriously, did the filmmakers assume we were all watching through a kaleidoscope? Between the lava and the dinosaur auction... it was a lot. A whole lot.
Finding where to watch it now is almost as chaotic as the movie itself. Streaming services shift more than Blue avoids lava.
The Streaming Jungle
First, check the usual suspects. Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video are good places to start. Don't forget to check if it's included in your subscription, or if you need to rent/buy.
Sometimes, it pops up on Peacock too. It's like a dino lottery! Good luck.
The Rental Route
If streaming fails, there's always renting. Platforms like Apple TV (iTunes) and Google Play Movies usually have it available.
It's a quick and easy fix, perfect for a spontaneous dinosaur craving. Just try not to get charged extra for accidentally hitting "buy" instead of "rent". We've all been there.
The Physical Media Pilgrimage
Remember DVDs? Blu-rays? If you're feeling old-school, you could actually *own* a copy. This guarantees viewing rights forever (or until your player breaks).
Check your local stores or online retailers. Plus, you get bonus features!
My (Possibly Unpopular) Opinion
Okay, brace yourselves. I think Fallen Kingdom is… underrated. There, I said it!
Yes, the plot is a bit bonkers. Sure, the dinosaur auction felt weirdly out of place. But the sheer spectacle? Come on!
Volcanoes erupting, dinosaurs stampeding… it's pure cinematic chaos. Sometimes, that's exactly what I want. Don't judge me.
And that ending? Pretty dark. It definitely set the stage for Dominion, even if Dominion then promptly tripped over that stage.
The Clone Kid Thing...
Fine, I'll admit the whole Maisie Lockwood plotline was... something. A clone? Really? It did add some layers of moral complexity, even if it was a bit over-the-top.
Also, I feel like they made some questionable choices in characters behavior.
The Dinosaurs, Though!
Let's be real, we're all here for the dinosaurs. And Fallen Kingdom delivers on that front.
Blue gets a bigger role, we see new species (briefly), and the Indoraptor is genuinely terrifying. What's not to love (besides the plot, maybe)?
Plus, the visuals are stunning. Even if the story is a bit messy, it's a visually impressive mess. I am always amazed by the special effects of this movie.
So, Should You Watch It?
If you like dinosaurs, explosions, and slightly ridiculous plots, then absolutely! Just don't go in expecting Shakespeare. Expect something in the line of pure cinematic entertainment.
And remember to check those streaming services, rental platforms, and dusty shelves for a copy. Happy viewing!
Maybe, just maybe, watch it with a large bucket of popcorn. It helps.
