Part 6/20:
The film struggles with a messy, disjointed plot. It contains multiple storylines—mercenaries hunting giant dinosaurs, a family stranded on the island, scientists attempting to retrieve DNA—all mashed together without cohesion. The family subplot is particularly frustrating: a reckless family of travelers inexplicably sailing through dangerous zones that only immense stupidity could justify. Characters often act irrationally, like a teenager announcing her plans to attend NYU, just to shoehorn a new plot beat, or a family member falling overboard during chaos, with no consequences.
