Jurassic World

Over twenty years ago Jurassic Park’s gates were closed and Isla Nubar was considered a tragic disaster. Miraculously, the theme park was re-opened under the name Jurassic World with new energy and operators and business. But, to keep audiences interested and coming back, new exhibits and attractions have become a necessity. So, when the park’s scientists develop and engineer their own dinosaur that’s bigger, faster, louder, cooler and more intense, all in an effort to appease the corporation, surely humans will still have the upper hand? Wrong. When containment of this new attraction goes awry it’s the park’s inhabitants and guests who are now in peril, again. It’ll take the dashing ex-military, Owen (Chris Pratt), and park manager, Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard), to save the day, but what if they’re already too late?jurassicWDirected by Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed), Jurassic World is clearly a product of its ancestry, drawing heavily on the concepts outlined in Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park, in fact there’s almost zero new territory explored here; however, that doesn’t necessarily make for a bad film, rather, it makes a fine dc al coda with just a few minor adjustments. In the end, dinosaurs are still at the top of the food chain, and we humans are left to watch as scientists play god, again. Is there deep character study or development involved here? Nope. Are their superfluous subplots that don’t need to exist? Yup. Are the dinosaurs still as exciting as they were 22 years ago, meh, not really, we’ve grown accustomed to and been spoiled by modern special effects– but, it sure is fun to revisit the old stomping grounds every now and then and this might just be the case to do that. Fun body chomping action for the whole family this weekend, Jurassic World is rated PG-13.
