Dino sequel lacking bite

-

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (12)

This disappoint­ing sequel gets bogged down with predictabl­e swerves and a cornucopia of dumb decisions.

Director J.A. Bayona’s horror background comes to the fore during the superior final act.

It ends with an intriguing set-up for a third entry; albeit one to leave you wondering where it all goes from here.

Adrift (12)

Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin give a good account of themselves in this true-life tale of a couple stranded at sea.

Unfortunat­ely, we’ve seen the dangers that befall them in movies many times before and there’s a lack of true tension.

The overused flashbacks add little of substance.
