About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, colorful monster-adventure with lots of creature encounters and a simple setup, similar in spirit to Jurassic World; not for you if you need deep characters or subtle storytelling.

Pros: big monster action; striking island visuals; fun adventure energy | Cons: thin story; uneven humor and tension; underdeveloped characters
