I wasn't disturbed by it (and I don't hate it), but I felt it was way too melodramatic. I'm going to liken it to New Who (Doctor Who) as opposed to Classic Who. This is a little bit simplistic, and by no means is the classic show perfect, but here's what I'm getting at:
The classic series told a story over multiple episodes, thus allowing the writers to focus on world building and characters. The Doctor didn't necessarily know everything about a planet the second they landed on it, allowing the audience to follow his train of thought as he and his companions uncover what's going on. We really get to know the characters, so we get invested in them and their goals.
The new series is very self-contained and episodic. In only a single episode (sometimes two), an entire story is told. Because of the time constrains, the Doctor must be very knowledgeable already when he arrives. That way you don't have to world build, you just listen to the Doctor tell you how the world works and what its people are like. No biggie, I suppose, but then you get to the characters. Because they lack the time to really develop, most of the writers rely on a combination of quirks, gimmicks, and melodrama to pull emotion from the audience. Many of them die, and their deaths can be quite dramatic. Lots of crying, screaming, blaming, etc. While it's occasionally warranted, most of the time it's just a cheap way to get a reaction when they could get more genuine ones by simply fleshing the characters out and not relying on the audience's primal empathy to make them form an attachment during a period of grief and violence.
That's kind of how I felt about the way the dinosaurs are treated in this. They're either filling their role as the agents of action or being put into bizarre and unrealistic scenarios (someone seriously built an expensive theme park on an island that has an active volcano?) meant to evoke an emotion. It's lazy and can easily be overcome with some better writing.
