I went to see this yesterday, Thursday, June 21st, 2018, at the CENTURY 14 VALLEJO, here in Vallejo, CA, for the 3:40 p.m. advanced screening double feature ( JURASSIC WORLD & JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM ) in auditorium 1, seat B-6. The price of admission was $18.00. And I bought a Large Popcorn & a Large Fountain Drink at the concessions counter for the special price of $9.00 for both ( it came with a free refill for each one, but I was too full to go for seconds; besides, I did sneak-in a $1.49 piece of Teriyaki Beef Jerky to eat during the second feature ).
Quickie Review: The long-dormant volcano on Isla Nublar awakens, threatening to wipe-out the dinosaurs on the island. It is up to Owen ( Chris Pratt ) and Claire ( Bryce Dallas Howard ) to save the dinosaurs from extinction.
What are the things wrong in this movie:
When Owen was lying on the ground just within two feet of the flowing lava, his clothes would have started to smoke and possibly would have caught on fire. I know this for a fact because I used to work at a die-casting shop wherein I was usually just two feet away from molten metal ( aluminum, zinc and brass--aluminum was the "coldest" and the brass was the HOTTEST ) where I stood to ladle red-hot molten metals into their respective crucibles and forklift them to the die-casters' stations. At that close proximity to the molten metals, my overalls would start to smoke; and my gloves would start to catch on fire. I would douse the gloves in cold water and go back to ladling the molten metals; but, then, my gloves would start to steam--and this was worse than the gloves catching on fire!
Owen and the dinosaurs were running from the Nuee Ardente ( the ash and smoke coming out of the volcano ) when, in truth, they would have all been burned and died of toxic smoke inhalation. What I learned in Geology is that Nuee Ardente is toxic, hot, and travels very fast!
When they jumped off the cliff and into the sea below, they would have been boiled to death because a lot of super-heated rocks fell into the sea all around them.
They stowed-away on that ship. 'Just one big problem, though: Isla Nublar, off the coast of Costa Rica, is about ten days away from their intended destination: Northern California. So, where did they go to empty their bladders and move their bowels, and how were they able to have some food and water during the entire trip?
Possible "Easter Eggs" ...
When the little girl was taken back into her room, on the table in the foreground, you can see a white action figure that resembles the main character in the PLANET OF THE APES remake. Also, when the assistant and the nanny are in the hallway, right above them is a circular window that's similar to the one in the PLANET OF THE APES' main ape's former home.

Nobody gave this movie a "Hands Clapper" ending.
There's a Bonus Scene after the Ending Credits.
