Way better than *Jurassic World Dominion* for sure. ***65*** doesn't reinvent anything in the dinosaur blockbuster genre but it was fun and entertaining nonetheless. Some parts drag a lot, the story is extremely simple and it leaves a lot of questions unanswered (ex: Why were they on this mission? Why was a little girl on the mission? Why would they put people who don't even talk the same language together? Who are they, an advanced species or time-travelers? among other things...) and because they don't address these questions it creates plot holes and makes for lazy writing. It's by no means a cerebral journey but the action is thrilling, the special effects look great, I like the sci-fi technology and so many cool-looking dinosaurs. My favorite part was the cave in complete darkness.

Adam Driver isn't given a lot to work with but he was good as the stereotypical action hero. The backstory with his daughter was heartwarming even though some of the flashbacks were strangely placed. I have to say I was incredibly annoyed with Koa for the first half she was slowing the story and the humor parts with Mills ruined the mood a few times. But then they redeemed her around halfway through, making her usefull and less comedic. I was ok with her then and the relationship between the two is perhaps what gives ***65*** it's charm.
