Jurassic World
First, I have to start by saying that I like the original “Jurassic Park” even though I’m not sure that I would call it a solid movie. It’s a thrilling adventure with fantastic special effects, but for character development and storyline, I feel it may be a little weak in those departments.
That being said, “Jurassic World” is a true sequel to the original, with the same positives and negatives. This new version is incredibly fun and suspenseful, despite the characters being ridiculously clichéd. Chris Pratt is definitely in top form here, playing the ultimate hero of the piece. He makes funny quips, shoots guns, outsmart predators, and becomes the first human to befriend a dinosaur since the Flintstones, all while looking ruggedly handsome. Bryce Dallas Howard’s character doesn’t really stand a chance resisting him.
This is pretty much a bigger, badder version of the original “Jurassic Park” but instead of just making dinosaurs, the scientists foolishly create the “ultimate” dinosaur….and somehow things go fantastically wrong.
In the end, this is a really fun popcorn adventure that has everything you could want in a “dinosaurs get loose in the park” movie.
Luckily, all the trailers shown haven’t given away the big crowd pleasing scenes. Just kick back and enjoy the thrill ride.
