This is a great conquest for Jurassic Park fans. Less of the incongruant intrigue and more of the dinosaurs breaking out of their cages, smahsing things, eating people (generally their captors), and just essentially being awesome. Big-ups to T-Rex & Blue!!

The editor here pulls all those really strong plot elements from the Jurassic World that mirror the original and weaves them all together almost too seemlessly. It's a heady mix of intracontinuity with a dash of discontinuity to form a transcontinuous blend of sublime multi-level-linearity. Sweet as a nut!!!!

I recomend this one to everyone that is a Fan of both movies and has seen them more than once.
Sadly it wasnt my cup of tea.

The Flashbacks did confuse me at times, as they had no ankle sometimes.
They just start, it was conufusing as the Flashbacks sometimes did not refer to anything that was seen before...
mainly in the third act this gets problematic for me, as the pacing is getting faster.

Also with this edit i realize that both films are pretty much the same and bringing them together did not strengthen either one of them.
SOme of the emotions did not come up proper, because we know what happens from the Flashbacks, and so we dont have any fear of loosing a character or such.
So for a first watch, i wouldnt recomend this, bt if your a fan, this shows you a different spin.

Everything technical is flawless as with all works that Job WIlins is showing us.
Most of his other projects i highly recomend, and this just did not work for me that much -
but all praise to Job and his efforts and thanks for sharing.

Okay, brutal honesty: I really did not enjoy this edit. I think I could recommend it for people who have already seen both films and really like Fallen Kingdom. For everyone else, I have to think it's a hard pass.

I'll keep this to the point, because JobWillins clearly spent a ton of effort on the project. And the effort pays off. Technically, this is a flawless edit. It is really impressive how seamlessly scenes from the two films are woven together, audio and video, with a lot of thought put into showing how the second film's structure parallels the first, and even attempting to add more resonance to the end of the 2nd film with some artful flashbacks and voiceover. It's a good effort.

That said, it largely did nothing for me. I admit I'm a hard sell in the first place. I don't think Jurassic World is a very good movie. It's Sharknado, but thinks it's being a Spielberg film...sorry, guy. Would be a lot better if they just leaned in to how ridiculous it is. But the sequel is just a really, really, REALLY BAD movie. I can't stress this enough: Fallen Kingdom makes Transformers look like Shakespeare. And this film is heavy on Fallen Kingdom. Worse yet, this structure just makes it even more obvious how stupid and unoriginal of a film it is, as you see two nearly identical scenes play out on top of each other over and over again throughout the fanedit. It's got to be the worst way to watch either movie.

In addition, although the editing is technically impressive, it just makes it frustrating to watch. Because the two films have such similar scenes, repeatedly you're in the middle of some scene and suddenly realize Bryce Dallas Howard has a different hairstyle. "OH! I guess we're in the other movie now!" The structure also means that there's just zero stakes, zero emotional resonance. You already know how the first film plays out, so there's nothing to lose, and I don't even think it's a good thing for dinosaurs to be alive yet, so I don't care if the island is blowing up. The scenes in the sequel that depend on you having emotional attachment from the first film fall completely flat when they play out in tandem this way.

I applaud the editor for their skill and creativity. That this thing even remotely makes sense is amazing. I'd probably be game for just a pure 1h15m version of Jurassic World. But seeing it all cut together this way just didn't work for me at all. I'll look forward to JobWillins' next project though.

The quality and the editing is flawless! seamless cuts with great action and pace. Without any filler two movies become one that works really well.
This is my go to edit if i feel like watching them again. That said, I think it is not for someone watching the Jurassic World movies for the first time. Because it is a bit confusing in the third act when the tempo increases and the flashbacks(from the first film) are very dominant.

This is a great edit. I love how JobWillins has used the first Jurassic World as flash backs for Fallen Kingdom. The way the edit is put together makes sense with the flashbacks and its not confusing or distracting at all. I really enjoyed this edit and would I highly recommend it if your a fan of the Jurassic Park \ World movies.
