But how would you alter the human side of the plot to account for the vast increase in dinosaur screentime so the humans aren't reduced to being cyphers whose sole job is to gawk at the dinosaurs? Because that's a rather big complaint about the films outside of our fandom - that the movies are just people gawking at dinosaurs. And even though they're the main draw for us, other people come to the films expecting a story and characters. The way I did it is I went through the movie and figured out where I could put these things in the movie, it's not like I said I want this and done, I timed it carfully so that it fits in without seeming out of place. Plus people in the end came for dinosaurs and Chris Pratt. Nobody really came out for the plot, if this was released right after JP3, it wouldn't get as much buzz but it's been 10 years since the last Jurassic Park movie and not only that but we were getting something that could have been 22 years ago, something we all wanted, and that's a working theme park full of dinosaurs. To me at least, it seems we only were hinted at it and not shown it. I mean there were so many attractions on the website that could have been in the movie but I felt disappointed of the lack of dinosaurs. Maybe that's just me

Fair enough, fair enough. :)
