It loses its way eventually and switches gears back into action movie mode with sequences that reminded me of Wash smashing his dinosaur toys together on the console of Serenity, but when the horror was emphasized over big action, it was truly great. It was the first time I’ve been wary watching a Jurassic Park movie since…well… Jurassic Park.
