I know I'm going to regret this, but have agreed to attending midnight showing of new Jurassic Park.

I detest CGI and digital but it's dinosaurs. I'll stick it out for dinosaurs. It's supposed to be terrible.

Just a tiny one. The bad guy is being outsmarted by the dinosaur veterinarian, and he mutters toward her... Nasty woman.

I felt like screaming, yes we're all nasty women and we're coming for you, you ugly orange bastard (thinking of somebody else.)

We were treated to a preschooler in the seats behind us who completely lost it.

The scientifically improbable dinosaurs and volcano were quite realistic.

Bad guys and mercenaries do get eaten.

And many over ten-years may have trouble. It's way too intense for children. The noise alone is over-stimulating, let alone the content.
