Our take
The Jurassic Games: Extinction is an action sequel where death-row inmates battle dinosaurs in a malfunctioning VR show that turns lethal. Dialogue includes damn and s-word language, wife-murder backstory, brutal-murder-on-live-television talk, and ghost dread. Sci-fi action for older teens and adults
Uplifting themes
Survival instinct appears, but exploitation premise limits clear uplift Contestants fight to live though the game itself is unethical

In this thrilling sequel to The Jurassic Games, 10 death row inmates enter a deadly VR show to battle dinosaurs for a second chance at life. But when the system malfunctions, the carnage turns real. With a new host and higher stakes, survival is no longer just a game.

Talk after watching
- VR game stakes become real bodies. Where does entertainment cross an ethical line?
- Death-row contestants seek a second chance. Does the film question that premise?
