Besides the cg I thought it was fine

same. I liked the continuity, but the cg was shit. Big shoes to fill though. They were never going to top the practical effects from the Kurt Russell one, especially the "pac man torso" scene, which is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. I don't remember when I first watched it or how old I was but I remember when that happened I was like "hoooooooooly fuck that was fucking awesome O_O" and it wasn't that long ago. Like, I think I first saw in the 2000s, so cgi was already a thing and the practical effects were already outdated (I know I saw it at least several years after Jurassic Park) but it still impressed the fuck out of me, as did all of the other practical effects, and the story, narration, setting, psychological elements etc.

No prequel was ever going to do it justice in terms of quality, but they stuck to continuity and even though they fumbled with the shitty cg, the story was decent and Mary Elizabeth Winstead had a solid performance. She's awesome in like everything she does (that I've seen at least). The lab assistant dude (guy from one of those NCIS shows) was a bit over the top. In terms of acting, he kinda dragged things down a little bit.
