Pacing Verdict
The screenplay maintains a brisk, relentless pace through its action sequences and set pieces, particularly in Act 2, which is densely packed with dinosaur encounters and escapes. However, the momentum is somewhat inconsistent; the early setup in Act 1 feels slightly protracted, while the final act's rapid succession of threats (Spinosaurus, Pteranodons, river escape) can verge on rushed. The dialogue is generally efficient in delivering information and character, but the narrative flow is occasionally disrupted by repetitive "on the run" cycles without sufficient variation in tension.
