Jurassic World
Story Line:
22 years after the original Jurassic
Park failed, the new park (also known as Jurassic World) is open for business.
After years of studying genetics the scientists on the park genetically
engineer a new breed of dinosaur. When everything goes horribly wrong, will our
heroes make it off the island?
User Reviews:
First, I am the biggest Michael
Crichton fan. I have read nearly everything he has ever written. So, the bad
comes first -
1. Some of the characters (dinos
included) did not fit the mold for his writing. While I found them likable, I
also found them detestable as a "Crichton snob."
2. I felt like there was too much in
the way of homages. A few subtle nods would have been sufficient, imo. Other
minor things like overall story development, and a few other directorial issues
aren't worth dwelling on in light of a 2 hour and 10 minutes run time.The good
-
1. Chris Pratt was excellent. I'm
quickly becoming a fan, and hope he can develop his skills a bit more for
future roles. As my wife pointed out, he'd make a great fit for an indiana Jones
reboot if the time comes.
2. The dinos were awesome. Even the
new ones, as far-fetched as they seem. In this regard, the writing was right in
line with Crichton. He loved to stretch the science to the very edge of being
illogical, if not impossible.
3. Did I mention ALL of the homage’s?
Many casual viewers will miss most of them. My 11 year old got a bunch but not
all of them. From that standpoint, I like being able to see some of the more
subtle connections, and rides down memory lane are generally enjoyable.
Conclusion -
Overall, I felt like it was worth the
matinée admission of 7.50. I wouldn't have wanted to pay 10, but others may
disagree. Solid action film....3.5 stars.
