Alright, so spoilers:
Spoiler:While the previous films revolved around dinosaurs, this one revolves around stopping a bio-engineered killer locust swarm which has dino DNA spliced into them. The problem is that the movie is so foucused on the locusts that the dinos have the most diminished roles out of all the six movies. A bunch of new dino species are introduced, but they are mostly wasted in the background and the ones that do play a role have zero influence on the main plot (except for the Dilophosaurus that eats Dodgson, the human baddie of the movie)
The final battle was the biggest crap I had seen in the entire series, it's way worse than the much-criticized JP3 Spino vs T-Rex battle. It shares its flaws with KOTM, which is that the camera cuts away to the human cast too often, so you can only barely tell what's going on with the dinos fighting in the background. But it's actually worse because the whole sequence is disappointingly short, there are no memorable shots and the big bad dino(Giganotosaurus) gets killed off abruptly.
Therizinosaurus basically appears out of nowhere and just helps the Rex, no explanation as to why he's only attacking the Giga and not the Rex. After the battle they actually strike a pose together like they're buddies or something, which I thought was pretty weird because they had zero interaction before that final sequence.
Speaking of the Giga, his presence in the whole film is disappointingly short, like he was added in at the last minute. He doesn't even get a single kill.
The plot isn't very convincing as well. For example, the movie ends with dinosaurs peacefully co-existing with humanity which had me going WTF? They spend two hours showing how hyper-aggressive these dinos are, and suddenly it's okay to live alongside them? Every single carnivore is depicted as a freaking killing machine that's out to kill every single person it sees, and one of the Pterosaurs actually tear down a plane. Even Blue the Raptor, who's one of the 'friendlier' carnivores, attacks everything on sight that isn't Chris Pratt. There's going to be hundreds of casualties every day.
Henry Wu gets off easy with only a broken arm, which to me also didn't make any sense. He's suddenly the good guy, despite being the same person who's responsible for hundreds of deaths in the previous films.
Spoiler:
Wow. That sounds TERRIBLE. Especially the BS they pulled with Dr. Wu. What was the point of redeeming him, there was legit nothing i the previous movies that hinted he was going anywhere close to redemption.
They lied!
