10 Biggest WTF Moments From This Year's Summer Films
3. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - The Entire Plot
This list has pretty much solely been composed of genuinely great WTF moments so far. Moments that shock or astonish but in ways that strengthen their respective films.
The plot of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a WTF moment of an entirely different nature.
From the opening credits, it's hard to keep from uttering 'what the f**k' pretty constantly when watching this new Jurassic sequel. The entire script for this film feels as if it was written through an escalating series of truth or dare games, in which director J.A. Bayona kept challenging producer/writer Colin Trevorrow to somehow make things even dumber than they already were.
Seemingly smashing two separate ideas together to try and make one full-length script (exploding volcano island meets scary dinosaur mansion), the resulting film takes hard left turns away from logic at literally every turn. Every main character survives tons of up-close interactions with lava and an exploding island? B.D. Wong allows his unfinished dinosaur murderer to be wheeled out at an auction and expects it to not get bid on? They brought back Jeff Goldblum and only used him for four minutes? The whole film doubles down on Trevorrow's insanely dumb dinosaurs-for-military-use idea from the previous film, as if to prove it's an even worse idea than everyone thought?
The award for longest sustained WTF moment of the 2018 summer season goes to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, which lasts a full two-hour-and-four-minutes but feels at least twice that long.
