I'm putting this one under Bad Movies, because while I really didn't hate it. I wasn't blown away by it either.  It is probably the weakest movie of the franchise so far.  And I liked most of the other sequels. 

Some spoilers below.

My biggest problem is that it completely backtracks on the whole dinosaurs living along side humans that was set up at the end of Dominion.  Because of Earth's current climate, they've died out except for places around the equator.  So once again the franchise has to go back to finding reasons to have people go to where the dinosaurs are.

Also this movie has some blatant exposition dumps.  So much they characters tell instead of showing.

Plus it has one of the most annoying characters in the franchise, and its clear we're supposed to be on his side. This would have been a perfect movie to kill him off to remind people that we're supposed to be scared of these animals.

Speaking off, there are still hybrids in this movie.  One is called the Mutodons and they are basically raptors mixed with pteresaurs.  Not a bad design, more naturalistic then the other new hybrid-the D-Rex.  This one is straight up a kaiju.  It looks like it would be more at home in the Monsterverse then the Jurassic franchise.  Heck, in a visual error, it clearly changed size between too scenes.

There where some fun sequences. but overall I hope the next movie is allowed to get back to what makes this franchise what it is.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...
