Laura Dern told TIME that reuniting with the adorable animatronic nausutoceratops "was equally as jaw dropping, but nothing will be like that first moment I walked through a field on Kauai [in Hawaii] with Sam Neill and I looked ahead and I saw a triceratops. That was my first dinosaur and I will love that dinosaur the most forever."
The Extended Cut released in Home Video and VOD runs about 12 minutes longer than the theatrical version including 11 extended scenes and 7 additional scenes. (Total run-time 2h 40m). The Extended Cut shows much more connecting material that is important to the overall narrative.
This movie was so utterly predictable it was a little painful. Luckily the nostalgia nods were sprinkled throughout and mostly not forced. You can tell they tried to have some funny one-liners which fell flat a lot of the time. They need to take some notes from Marvel on those. The CGI and action was as good as you'd expect and offered favorable intensity. The story itself was somewhat lazy IMO. Did I mention it was totally predictable? I left the theater going...meh.
