25 years and four films later, Hollywood is still trying to recapture the magic of the original Jurassic Park. The latest effort, Fallen Kingdom, the follow-up to 2015's Jurassic World, comes courtesy of director J. A. Bayona, who, to his credit, delivers more memorable images than his predecessor. But can his craft compensate for everything ridiculous about the film? On a new episode of Film Club, A.A. Dowd and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky discuss the sequel, its shortcomings, and whether or not it’s worth your time.
