    Man, it's so good. It's so, so good.

    Happy Dino Day to those who celebrate.
    Yeah, this is more or less a flawless film. There's something that just doesn't get me personally to make it a favourite, but the music, action, performances, story etc. are all honestly flawless. The effects are so good, be it CGI or animatronic. I kept saying, "That looks so good."
    The character arc Alan Grant goes through with the kids is very satisfying, especially because the kids turned up and I personally wished…
