Monster fun, with climate warning bite

- CHRIS HUNNEYSETT

PREPARE yourself for prehistori­c pandemoniu­m in this stomping sequel to 2015’s monster blockbuste­r, with all the spectacula­r dino action you could hope for.

This latest adventure is set three years later as a very angry volcano blows its top.

Bryce Dallas Howard returns as Claire, the former Jurassic World park manager and now a dinosaur-rights activist, but this time with appropriat­e footwear. Alongside, Chris Pratt riffs on his wisecracki­ng action-man persona familiar from Avengers: Infinity War.

After saving dinosaurs from the island inferno in a terrifical­ly exciting sequence, we’re ushered to a secluded US mountain

mansion, where the movie becomes a suspensefu­l gothic horror nightmare.

We’re introduced to the Indoraptor, a smart and lethal hybrid dinosaur. But it’s not the only predator around, with greed bringing out the worst nature of humans.

The dinosaurs become a coded warning for man-made climate change, making it a fresh, funny bite of popcorn entertainm­ent.
