Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: A fun adventure story with nice good guys and bad (or pathetic) bad guys.
Con: It doesn't stand up to serious examination. The people who want to regenerate dinosaurs don't need Marty's help; they can send someone else back to some other place and time and get whatever they want. His defiance is pointless.
