As expected, it's the characters from the original movie who command the screen again this time, with Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman and Brent Spiner's returning characters stealing every scene they're in.

While more could've been made of Goldblum's hilarious eccentricity, he's still an aloof delight in one of his signature roles, while Pullman looks the part with his huge, gruff beard, and Spiner provides plenty of wacky comic relief.

Though the new characters are mostly terrible, at least it doesn't disgrace everyone's old favourites, and in some cases moves them on in interesting and exciting ways.
