Start of movie: two brothers who dont get along (young, kids, main characters), two sisters who dont get a long, one doesnt spend any time with family (the main character one), a marriage about to fall apart. Oh and two people (chris prat and main woman, who is also that sister who doesnt spend time with family) who went on one date and didnt like each other.

End of movie: Brothers are closer than ever, sisters are closer than ever, marriage crisis averted, and of course they fell in love somehow even though they pretty much hated each other the whole movie.

Nothing in the events of the movie actually moved any of these relationships along. they just got written to change with no explanation or reasonable on screen motive.

And just lots of really stupid "bad horror movie" stuff by people for no reasons. Its just hard to watch. I guess the dinosaur was cool.… Expand

I enjoyed the first part of the movie a lot, the kids were cute and their perspective was great at translating that same sense of wonderment the original Jurassic Park had.

I enjoyed much less how the movie become a dumb monster movieI enjoyed the first part of the movie a lot, the kids were cute and their perspective was great at translating that same sense of wonderment the original Jurassic Park had.

I enjoyed much less how the movie become a dumb monster movie along with a case of "too many cooks" with too many plot lines and too many characters competing for attention in the second half. They also could have done a much better job with Chris Pratt's and Bryce Dallas Howard's characters who are basically dumb caricatures, and I hated that cliched military bad guy.

Last complaint : too much CG, everything looked fake, especially the Dinos, everything on screen was too clean, too bright, too crisp. The last action scenes was particularly ludicrous, defying all sense of realism.… Expand

I have no beef with cgi and the critters, small and large, look impressive for'Just show some bleeding dinosaurs' someone must have shouted after the millionth rewrite of the script and so this movie is bucketful with cool looking cgi. I have no beef with cgi and the critters, small and large, look impressive for this day and age. Give me some more.

The MacGuffin is a mini Godzilla, a human created predator broken loose and on the prowl. Godzilla is a very smart cookie and possessed with the mentality of a rabid dingo on a blood drive, always an ideal combination for a predator the size of a small hill. It wants braaaiins..eh blood.. lots and lots and mostly human at that.

Godzilla is also blessed with various other advantages, such as being bullet proof and being provided with a 10000 mega whack density field, which makes living things increasingly more dense the closer they get to the big meat eater. Humans tend to behave in remarkably stupid ways when near the monster. Like there is this guy handling a gatling machinegun who fails to make proper use of it even though it should not be too hard to hit a thirty feet tall creature with it.. Also whenever anyone has a gun that he or she might shoot the big creature with, he or she forgets to use it or just misses the giant monstrosity.. and even whey they finally manage to hit it by firing lots and lots of bullets, they just bounce off the armored hide..

During the movie Godzilla realizes how pathetic the screaming hairless monkeys really are and tasks itself to end their suffering by biting their heads off. Make the pain go away! It must have thought, after it consulted the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) IV. It also manages to convince a bunch of raptors to assist it in its noble goal. And they even get assistance of a flock of flying dinosaurs who dutifully lift some of the hairless monkeys and toss them into a big basin where a huge whale like dinosaur has just finished eating a large white shark and appreciates the humans for afters.

Meanwhile there is a red haired profit oriented control freak, who is the female lead, who convinces the free spirited motor bike enthusiast dinosaur whisperer male lead to forgo a potential shag in his rickety-rackety outhouse so as to help her save some kids from being eaten by the nasty big thunder lizard. We can then witness the embarrassing trite acting of these two as the stuck up biatch mellows into pools filled with tear eyed admiration when the biker drives into the jungle accompanied by his raptor buddies to stop that big brute.

When the raptors betray his trust he has to high tail it out of there, but somewhat later the lizard whisperer convinces the raptors to become suicidal and attack Godzilla again. Which works as expected: killing the little buggers, until biatch incites a T-rex to stop Godzilla from eating the last one. Everyone tries to follow this big fight on their handhelds and mobiles, only to discover that at random moments they fail. What a bummer, they must have thought, but they can always buy the movie and watch this all over again.(And they are welcome to it).

Things get eaten and things get smashed to tiny bits as part of product placements. If you didn't already know it.: that car the biatch drives is a Mercedes and gets flattened in scene 3! And the shop that raptor Delta wrecks in scene 76 is Starbucks. And the undies lizard boy is stripping out of during the intimate scene with the red head, has a male name on the front, but that one is edited out because this movie is PG-13. The male lead does shag the female lead, but that is reserved for the producer's cut or the redux version that will hit Amazon in 2017. And the computer network that hampers communications is called SkyNet..oh wait.. that is from another movie.

The story thus far:
-something makes sense.. but let us call you when we find the right version of the script.
- there are some actors in there doing something, but they might have walked in from another movie and we call you when we figured this one out..
- we lost the very big lizard because it camouflaged itself, doesn't show up on our infrared sensors and it removed the transmitter from it's body so we can't pinpoint its exact position, but we inform you once we located it.
- that our phones don't work really, so we just drop by to talk to you about having a shag in the deprecated bungalow at a beach in Costa Rica..

And you don't think that is silly?… Expand

I actually agree about this one, but only because then you can see with your own eyes how bad this movieI have read many and many User Reviews about Jurassic World, that say, that if you are a Jurassic World Fan, you should see this movie. I actually agree about this one, but only because then you can see with your own eyes how bad this movie actually is.
It may look pretty and in 3D it is even better. but looks ain't everything. If you wanna see a real Jurassic Park movie again, then you have to wait. It may be better than the last movie, but it only is a step into the right direction. And I don't wanna say, that it is a bad movie. It's just a bad Jurassic Park Sequel (yet again).
The movie has it's moments but the whole time, I was sitting in the cinema, seeing this movie, I thought: "Something does'nt feel right". And soon I got it: It was the atmosphere. All in all the movie is full packed with action and less calm, darker scenes, which were used in the first Jurassic Park to build tension. It was used to give the consumer of the movie the right amount of fear, which let the Dinosaurs look more threatening. They completely (except for one scene) removed this kind of tension and put in lots and lots of boring senseless dialogues and shooting-scenes. But as I said before: The movie has it's moments and you could say it is kinda worth it, to see the movie because they have lots and lots of "eastereggs" in it, which lets you fall into nostalgia and lets you see some scenes from the first Jurassic Park but years later, which I actually found pretty cool.
The soundtrack is awesome, too. They've reused melodies from the first Jurassic Park. But I think, that's okay, because the Soundtrack was, and still is awesome.
I am not going to write a quick story review in here, because I wanted to make this review spoilerfree. But I can tell you this: I have found some "mistakes" in the logic of the people who wrote the script for this movie. One of it is known in the internet pretty well: "The whole High-Heels Story."
And the other one is, that we all know raptors don't hunt or fight alone. They normally stay in a pack. Which they even thought about in the first Jurassic Parks. I don't think, that this alone makes the movie worse than it is. But all in all, this is more of a mediocre movie.
That is, why I only give it 4/10 (if they would've changed the title, so it doesn't mess up the Jurassic Park Series more, I would've given 5/10)… Expand

It's hard to judge it fairly, but it is fair to say that the premise of Jurassic World is highly similar to previous releases, and that being dinosaur chaos and human survival. Still better than JP3, though.

Background: I have watched the three previous Jurassic Park films, the first in the cinema, but I do not remember where I saw the other two. The first was great, the second, average and the third, good. This review is based on a TV viewing.Background: I have watched the three previous Jurassic Park films, the first in the cinema, but I do not remember where I saw the other two. The first was great, the second, average and the third, good. This review is based on a TV viewing.

Pros: None. (If you think I could at least have given a point for the dinosaurs, no. Go watch Jurassic Park. There's nothing new here!)

Cons:
(1) The whole film takes implausibility to the extreme, including the:
(a) Implausible dinosaur behaviour of a dino-cidal Indominous Rex and train-able raptors. Hah!;
(b) Implausible human behaviour of the dislikable female lead, the bumbling CEO, the lecherous brother and the cliched war-profiteer; and
(c) Implausibility of how a theme park like that could have been given the approval to operate, considering all the safety issues. You have a Mosasaurus in a giant pool/lake where people can fall into, fields with giant dinosaur where visitors are allowed to drive themselves around, etc.

(2) The film has this comical scene where our characters had to move left and right to avoid being killed by dinosaurs as the latter go about attacking other dinosaurs and the humans. This is in the tradition of the three previous films. It was already stale by the second film and it it had definitely gone bad by now!

(3) If you hadn't gotten the drift by now, the writing is poor and lazy. The directing is not any better. What a missed opportunity to reboot the franchise.

(4) Have I mentioned, how I hate House Prices Dallas in this film?

Who would think the film is great? Children.
Who would think the film is only so-so? Young adults.
Who would think the film is lousy? Old adults.

Rating: 2/5 (no half scores). Do not bother to even watch it on TV. It felt tedious to watch it on TV.… Expand

Mediocre monster movie set in a world where military veterans can't hit a 50 ft long target with a minigun and rocket blasts to said 50 ft target don't instantly turn it into crimson jelly.

While the (extensively used) CG is probablyMediocre monster movie set in a world where military veterans can't hit a 50 ft long target with a minigun and rocket blasts to said 50 ft target don't instantly turn it into crimson jelly.

While the (extensively used) CG is probably technically impressive and the film looks nice, there is no excuse for how stupid and creepy some of this film is.

Let's start with the creepy - the pterodactyl torture porn scene where the office assistant lady is picked up off the ground, dropped, caught in mid air, and then dunked in the water some 4-5 times before being eaten by a giant aquatic dinosaur. Disgusting. There was no need for a drawn out death scene for a character who honestly didn't do anything wrong in the movie, this wasn't comeuppance for some evil act, this was just straight up torture fetish filth. Even the big bad guy died in a covered up and nearly off-scene raptor attack. No excuse for this.

Okay let's get to the stupid, somehow supersaurus mega rex is able to cloak itself visually and from THERMAL cameras (how would it even know those existed come the hell on) and set a trap that fools a dinosaur trainer, it then gets stuck in the door of it's enclosure but rather than being choked out by the door closing mechanism, it manages to smash right through the reinforced concrete and metal gate that had been keeping it inside for how long with little to no effort?

invinciblesaurus then plods through the park murdering dinosaurs not to eat but to kill kill kill, apparently someone spliced in some of the zodiac killer's genes or something because as far as I know none of the animals they claimed it had genes of were particularly serial-murdery.

Somehow ultramegasaurus KNOWS WHAT A TRACKING DEVICE IS and RIPS IT OUT OF IT'S OWN FLESH.

Trained dino-emergency trackers/hunters and their nine zillion tranquilizer rounds have no effect on big nasty megasaur, it shrugs it off and murders everyone in short order, even the guy blasting it in the face with a shotgun which somehow didn't even give it pause. I really don't care how many cuttlefish or frogs you splice something with it will STILL go down to the power of pharmaceuticals.

When freed from sealed aviary, pterodactyls/pterosaurs or whatever somehow FLEW, not glided from a cliff like you know, they did in real life. They decided instead of scattering like idiot birds would normally do they would immediately head for the humans, how they instantly knew where they were (miles away) was uh, birdosaur magic radar I guess.

Birdosaurs somehow flying AND lifting full grown adult humans into the air.

Oh yeah, Birdosaurs seeking out and attacking a noisy helicopter firing a minigun full on, you cannot tell me those animals would not have fled from something making such scary noises.

An island FULL of angry deadly dinosaurs and only one minigun and chopper, not even a combat chopper but a civilian chopper with a minigun mounted in the door. Clearly we can't afford those with all these dinosaur holograms and genetic disasters we made.

The aforementioned torture porn scene with the office lady also qualifies for stupid.

The entire ~trained raptors~ arc, and the evilbadman's stupid plan to use them as weapons, the supermegakillosaur being able to SPEAK RAPTOR and COMMUNICATE WITH THEM and then ORDER THEM TO TURN ON THEIR TRAINER AND ATTACK THE HUMANS. How many super powers does killosaurus drecks have so far? I lost count.

The raptors put aside their betrayal and help their daddy human man to fight the big bad supersaurus, who beats all four into the dirt while being peppered with rifle rounds by their trainer.

The T-rex and Raptor TAG TEAM DUO vs mega killosaur. COME ON THE RAPTOR RODE ON THE T-REX'S BACK FFS. Then after the giant crocodile thing eats the super killosaurus for the final blow, the T-rex and raptor exchange nods of approval and bugger off into the night.

Keep in mind the original movie had a CASCADE OF FAILURES happen to even allow the dinosaurs to ESCAPE in the first place. The storm, Nedry's computer virus, ALL of the dinosaurs getting loose at the same time, the park wasn't even complete or open or fully staffed. In this movie the park has been successful for something like seven years, but this ONE dinosaur they somehow gave superpowers to through the magic of cuttlefish and frog genes totally ruins everything.

FINAL VERDICT: Avoid this movie unless you can turn your brain off / you live with your brain turned off.… Expand

I really wanted to like this movie....but there are just too many stupid things in the plot that make absolutely no sense. I am sure you have read in the reviews some of the stupid nonsensical things that happen within this movie, so I willI really wanted to like this movie....but there are just too many stupid things in the plot that make absolutely no sense. I am sure you have read in the reviews some of the stupid nonsensical things that happen within this movie, so I will just list a few other things I noticed that I havn't seen other people critisize yet.

1. After the boys are safe again... the aunt is like "I will never let you into harms way again! you will be safe!" or something like that...then she proceeds to put them in the back of a truck and drive them directly into harms way! She personally takes them into the most dangerous situation currently on the island with the military men to go battle the A-rex! She could have taken them or had someone take them somewhere much safer on the island, instead she risks their lives by bringing them along to battle the A-rex with a bunch of raptors. The only reason for this is so that the boys are around when **** continues to hit the fan....just such poor writing.

2. When the flying dinosaurs escape...why the hell would every single one of them go directly to the populated part of the park and start attacking people?! I am sure they were well fed...in reality they would scatter in all directions and definately would not dedicate their new freedom to hunting and killing humans for no apparant reason.

3. The A-rex talks with the raptors and tells them to attack the humans? Are you kidding me?! In about 5 seconds time this A-rex is able to communicate and convince these raptors that he is the alpha male?! Supposedly this works because the A-rex is like 1-10% raptor.....this is ridiculous. This is like saying that I can speak to apes or chimpanzees. Can the A-rex also talk to cuddlefish, snakes, and the other animals it was mad of? This is so damn stupid...why doesnt the A-rex talk to the T-rex at the end? It is obviously more part Trex than it is raptor. Another stupid line in regards to this...PRatt says "now we know why they didnt tell us what this thing is made of....because its part RAPTOR!", yea its so secret not because its made of trex, snake, and tons of other dinosaurs....just because its part raptor.

4. Militarizing raptors? jesus christ. There is seriously a line like "Imagine if we had these things in Tora Bora!". I dont really need to go into depth on this one....you can already tell how stupid it is.

5. At the end the gigantic aquatic dinosaur jumps out of its enclosure and eat the A-rex! It lands on the ground where during normal hours guests would be walking! The designers of the park didnt realize this?! The one time this aquatic behemoth breaks out of it confined space it just happens to eat the Arex instead of a person?

These are just a few of the things that popped into my head. There are tons and tons of similarly retarded instances within this film. So many plot holes and nonsensical story moments....it is just so stupid! I mean I thought the part in Lost World where the T-rex was able to eat everyone on a cargo ship was bad....but this is actually worse and there are way more silly and dumb moments. I really had higher hopes for this movie, especially after seeing the initial reviews. It isnt horrible, there are some good parts. But all the plot holes, cliches, and just stupid moments really took me out of the experience...I spent more time laughing at the nonsense in this movie than the actual few jokes.… Expand

The dinosaurs look great and their integration with the actors and their surroundings is impressive. What lets this movie down is the story and the characters. The story is ludicrous, not that getting live dinosaurs out of fossils is believable. But the notion that these people never learn just keeps coming up. With all the amazing technology that exists in this movie world, the stupid mistakes and misjudgments that the decision makers in the story continually make are just mind numbing. It's actually pretty insulting. The writing is so bad that I couldn't help but inappropriately laugh a number of times. It is pretty clear this is an attempt at rebooting this franchise, which I'm sure will work, as people are just not that discriminating. But it is a shame that this script could not have been better.… Expand

With a messy story that doesn't quite work (a last-minute re-write of some major plot points, was my first guess), an unimaginative screenplay and lazy directing, this movie is about as good as... well, it's about as good as Birdemic, but with nicer graphics. It's hilarious.

...It's not meant to be hilarious, but my word, I haven't enjoyed a movie this much since Plan 9 from Outer Space. The bulk of the movie is, obviously, visually impressive. It's lovely to look at... but then, so are most big budget movies lately, so that's hardly a passing mark on its own. The story and screenplay are a slapped together series of brain farts that make you wonder what the selection process for professional movie writers must be; a dartboard, perhaps? A lottery system? I don't really mean to be harsh, but let's be honest: the writing is TERRIBLE. It's the only movie I've ever explicitly watched the credits for in order to see who was responsible for the screenplay.

No single element of the writing is stand-out 'look at this' bad. Rather, it's as if it was written by a teenager with some raw talent, but no self-awareness or experience. Mistakes and blunders come one after the other, making an overall effect that any B movie lover can appreciate: it's a stupidly wonderful mish-mash of cliches, lazy directing and stupid, badly thought-out ideas that must've seemed great in the early brainstorming and storyboarding stages, but which the staff were woefully incapable of ever executing in any competent manner. Aborted character arcs abound, illogical setpieces and bizzare events make it impossible to take the story seriously or feel invested in any of the characters.

The most glaring story component is that last-minute re-write that I suspect (perhaps a re-write is common knowledge to people who followed the movie's production; I'm not one of them), which obviously left a lot of lose ends in the story: 'serious business' character development arcs are raised by multiple characters, obviously intended to be parts of a larger story, however due to what must've been a re-shuffle of characters, the arcs are broken and don't fit in to the final story whatsoever, and in fact make some characters appear unstable and illogical, as they are now having 'serious business' moments about a matter that's never actually addressed in the movie, or which no longer fits with the revised script. Seeing the children's mother have a breakdown because her sister wasn't spending time with the boys was amazing. Because -again- it made no sense. Clearly, the story was intended to be a broken family bonding over the dramatic events of the movie, but instead, we have... well. A mess with no real conclusion. The boys consternation over their parents looming divorce? Well, never mind that, Dinosaur attack! Park manager worrying about low attendance numbers and declining profits? Those tens of thousands of people crowding every square metre of the shiny and new-looking park don't matter, because dinosaurs! Whoo! Look, Guest appearance by Jimmy Fallon doing... slapstick? Uh... Dinosaurs, whoo! Millitary shenanigans and corruption, but let's not even try to finish that arc, instead let's have rolling balls of CGI magic! Whoo!

It's just a series of silly, pretty looking events that happened on an island with suicidal attack-dinosaurs, mustache-twirling military contractors, theme parks with no emergency procedures, annoying kids with no purpose in the story, and Chris Pratt trying to make the most of his boring, cliche macho-guy lines.

A solid B movie experience.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Probably the worst movie of the Jurassic Park franchise, Jurassic World cannot lay claim to the magic the original films brought about.An abject opening ten minutes immediately casts a dampener on what lies ahead with Bryce Dallas Howard as the disappointingly robotic Claire Dearing. Seeing Claire's sister unnecessarily burst in to tears for Claire not personally giving her nephews a tour of Isla Nublar which has ,by the way,became a fully functional Dinosaur zoo and theme park(man,isn't this exactly what each of the other three movies professed people NOT TO DO) seemed artificial and downright pathetic. The first movie scored big with the two kids that irritated and ultimately won over Dr.Grant,but the Director's mission to win over the audience with the same formula falls flat this time around. Chris Pratt as the raptor trainer(ya, believe it, Velociraptors have accepted him as their alpha - gosh!!!!) brings some solace to an otherwise mediocre and horribly miscast movie which feature a clueless theme park owner and a pot bellied head of security,to name a few. Even though the story about a genetically modified 'Indominus Rex' (cool fake name) terrorizing the visitors and the other dinosaurs had a great appeal, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The best chance for the movie to salvage something was in its climax where an inter dinosaur battle ensues between the mutated beast, the raptors and the park's resident super hero,the T-Rex. Even though die hard fans of the franchise might distinguish a T-Rex from other big carnivorous dinosaurs,most of the audience aren't paleontology experts and not mentioning that the beast attacking the villainous I-Rex(??) was indeed the Tyrannosaur seems a bit lazy on the director's part and adds to the lack of attention to detail displayed throughout the film. The Mosasaurus' spot at the end could have been the perfect finale to the film,if it had a competent director at the helm.
The visuals are probably the only positive thing about the film and the movie ends in a not so surprisingly confused state with nothing definitive about whether the park will continue to operate or get taken over by the dinosaurs,the latter being the conventional and not so bad outcome in all the previous movies. Perfect ending to a disappointing movie.

And by the way - The T-Rex, all of a sudden, develops a conscience and spares the good guys at the end - Come on!!!!!!!… Expand

The dinosaurs are no longer frighteningly fierce predators with killer instinct, but instead are now cute misunderstood animals with emotions. I can't say I like the CGI dinosaurs much, the animatronics look way better and more realistic. There's a few Jurassic Park references here and there. They don't have any purpose of being there except for very slight nostalgia but the characters don't even acknowledge it. It makes me wonder why they even bothered putting it in at all.

There is also alot of product placement, it's pretty noticeable such as drinking coke, getting into a car with the Mercedes logo shown nice and close, the kid naming the exact make and model of a jeep, logo on headphones, various background stores such as pandora etc.

The characters are fairly underdeveloped and generic. They force some brother sentiment a couple of times between Zach and Gray, and the relationship between Claire and Owen is predictable and pointless.

Overall, wasn't all that bad. The movie does keep you entertained despite lacking originality. I probably wouldn't watch it again and will probably forget about it's existence soon. Jurassic park is just a victim like so many classic movies which Hollywood is remaking and making tonnes of money off the name, despite the remake being ordinary and forgettable.… Expand

JW features a script with a lot of wooden dialogue, several subplots that seem to go nowhere (except perhaps serving as sequel bait), bland but functional direction and cinematography, hit and miss CGI, and generally across the board average to hammy performances from the cast. Only an appealing turn from Chris Pratt as Owen saves the movie from descending into total tedium. Who knew a movie full of rampaging dinosaurs could be dull? Turns out, it can.… Expand

The movie also tried to be funny at times and I thought that's not appropriate for jurassic world. Later people were even laughing at scenes that were supposed to be scary. We did enjoy this movie a little bit as we were not expecting much (and we saw San Andreas last week so anything is better than that), but I am afraid that people that want this to be sequel to jurassic world 1 or 2 will be dissapointed.… Expand

Overall this is a lackluster offering save from being truly awful only by its special effects. The best way to see this movie would probably be while you are high.

I had really hoped that Jurassic World would be unique, however, without the several layers of amazing cgi action, there isn't much content otherwise.
In summary, a perfect 'popcorn' blockbuster, bursting with scenes of truly brilliant animations and effects, which I've got to say, are stunning. Sadly, the depth of the storyline was less than amusing, and I will be looking optimistically forward to a better film in the future.

That is not because it was "new" back then. It just was simply a much better and more well put together film that still holds up today better than this one. I think my main issue centers on the fact that the movie just tries too hard to appeal to a super wide, mass audience with dumb cliche gimmicks (kiss scenes, feel good family scenes, out of place comedy lines, blatant rip offs of prior movies' scenes, etc etc). I can accept the raptors taking orders from Pratt (yeah it is super dumb, I agree, but whatever) but I simply cannot take the main girl wearing heels the entire movie because even in the context of the movie that is impossible -- she should sink in the mud at minimum --- they don't even have to show her change them, just change out of them, makes no sense. Honestly there really is too much else to complain about so I will leave it there.

So why a 5? It's not a "bad" movie per se. The movie was a fun ride if you have the typical American movie goer's brain, but I just wish it was more like the first and actually cared more about the story and character development with good acting rather than computer effects and cheesy scenes which are too many to count here. So what you get is just another generic movie no different than marvel super hero movies meant solely to draw huge crowds based on the "Jurassic" legacy with the addition of Starlord (Pratt).… Expand

Almost as a satire on itself the movie themes the "problem" of society to have everything bigger and louder to be satisfied. And as the clients of the Jurassic Park the audience gets a good looking, loud and spectacular tense movie but with a shallow narrativ. It's all fassade. Don't get me wrong the cast is good but it just can't cover up the missing story besides "a new threat, nearly impossible to win, surprising outcome".

There is and was so much potential behind the idea of a reopened Jurassic Park (World). And so the first part of the movie I was excited about all the changes and rather didn't focus on the optical quality, which is ok. The Park has opened again! That would be enough to keep me - as a fan - entertained for some time. But in the second part of the movie the main theme changed from "scenery" to "warzone". It turns into all out war where there is no actual narrativ than survival (again) and resembles nowadays "Blockbuster" movies.

This movie starts out great but forgets its roots. You can interpret into the film whatever you want but it is not a film for fans. It is an action movie like every other this year in search of its identity between actual story and presentation (f.e. Avengers 2 or last years Transformers to name some). I don't think nowadays consumers prefer the "bigger equals better" ideology over narrativ and style. But the later would require some inspirations and innovations that the movie industry deeply needs. So they stick with the same idea and so do the themes of the movies they produce.

As a result Jurassic World is not a movie for fans. There is no memorable moment in the film, there is creativity missing and there is just too much wrong with the ending. The truth is even the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park (Original) looked way better - still today - than the CGI constructed monsters in Jurassic World. And it therefore this movie can't stick out in any way. It is just a bland mediocre action movie but it's missing something catchy.… Expand

Yes the storyline is repetitive & predictable and the secondary thread with the Velociraptors just plain silly, plus considering the 22 years of technological advancement since ‘Jurassic Park’ the CGI effects here are not that impressive, but with an infusion of comedy and the irresistible charms of Chris Pratt added to the huge action set-pieces and the majesty of the park itself, ‘Jurassic World’ has captured just enough of the original’s elements to make it a thoroughly entertaining thrill-ride.

Story-wise the film continues the theme or warning against the manipulation of nature for corporate gain, rather ironic considering the distinct corporate nature of the movie, there’s also a clear reverence for the original with constant references to characters and events and the use of core elements from the iconic John Williams score.

The Bottom Line…
While it doesn’t hold a candle to the Spielberg original, ‘Jurassic World’ is by far the best of the “Jurassic” sequels and has just about enough to make it a fun thrill ride and a worthy summer “popcorn” blockbuster.… Expand

Nothing about the plot or situations is even slightly original or inventive. The people in peril seldom generate any tension or empathy, because they're quickly dispatched and anonymous. Even the core cast is ultimately relegated to watching, as the creatures duke it out (the 21st century version of wrestling lizards).

Why sit through a retread when you can watch this same story with superior characters, story, effects and action. Jurassic World isn’t terrible it just doesn’t become anything more than brilliant. Its better than the sequels but it isn’t saying much. Enjoyment of this film requires turning off your brain, which is mostly possible, and forgetting the first film and its similarities, which is impossible. If you can do both you can enjoy this film, which as is the tradition contains meaningless 3D. If you’ve seen Jurassic Park you’ve seen this movie done better. If you are ok with more of the same you’ll have fun with it but if you want something no and creative this film won’t do anything for you.… Expand

The problem is it just failed pretty hard in almost every single element , one thing that they really doing fantastic is the CGI and production design it's amazing , it's stunning.

But that's it everything else of Jurassic World is just falling apart in to pieces from boring cliche and stupid character that sometimes can be annoying to really force the "Family Bond" theme in to your mouth and that screenplay oh god... i mean it's like they borrow script from movie Dinocroc or something it's just really terrible , i mean it's okay in that B grade low-production value movie BUT not in the $150 million dollars budget movie and definitely not in "Jurassic" movies.

Off course Jurassic World can be fun and for sure you will probably have a good time with it but because of it's "Monsters Fight" scene not because it's magic elements that Jurassic Park has , this is for sure a fun popcorn movie to watch but not the 'Jurassic' movie we hope it could be not even with Chris Pratt .… Expand

Let me start with the good. There are some very nice nods to the original Jurassic Park in this film. The statue of Hammond, the return of B.D. Wong as the geneticist behind these creations, and most notably the two boys in the filmLet me start with the good. There are some very nice nods to the original Jurassic Park in this film. The statue of Hammond, the return of B.D. Wong as the geneticist behind these creations, and most notably the two boys in the film discovering the original visitor center from Jurassic Park now covered in jungle growth. They even find the original jeeps in the garage. There's also a moment where Claire uses a flair just like Alan and Ian do in the first movie. The park itself looks really cool and is obviously modeled after Disneyland with Main Street leading up to the pyramid-shaped main center. The dinosaurs look great and there is plenty of good dino action in the movie to keep you entertained.

Now for the bad. First, a big missed opportunity I thought in that when I first saw Claire in the film I thought she might just be Lex from the original, all grown up and now running the park her grandfather dreamed of building. Since I had temporarily forgotten Lex's name, I thought Claire might be her, and was disappointed when it wasn't. That would have been a great tie-in, even with her being played by a different actress. The character would then have been very aware of the dangers and pitfalls associated with this park based on her own childhood experience, which would have led to some much more intelligent dialogue and story development. Instead we get a park manager who is a corporate cliche and spends much of the movie being totally clueless to the growing threat to the visitors, when she isn't engaged in her preteen-level flirting with Chris Pratt's character.

I'll refrain from giving spoilers other than to say that the story and plot developments are preposterously stupid. When you look at the timeline for this park, we know that as of 2001 (Jurassic Park III) both islands were still off-limits. Factor in the several years it would have taken to get this park fully realized and it couldn't be more than five years old at the start of this movie. Yet one of the major premises is that the public has already gotten bored with dinosaurs so they need to start making super dino monstrosities to keep them entertained and coming back to the park. Really? Toss in a lunatic military contractor who I am assuming wants to drop lots of velociraptors on the Middle East, animal behavior that defies belief, outrunning a T-Rex while in high heels, and a final dinosaur battle that resembles a Godzilla movie (I was expecting Mothra to drop into the melee), and you have a big pile of dino droppings.

The movie is fun enough as an amusement park thrill ride, just don't expect the character depth, narrative excellence, or sense of wonder and adventure of the original.… Expand

Hollow characters and absurd story logic—even for a summer blockbuster—cripple a visually dazzling film. Chris Pratt playsJurassic World offers plenty of spectacle and action, but little in the way of compelling characters or engaging plot. Hollow characters and absurd story logic—even for a summer blockbuster—cripple a visually dazzling film. Chris Pratt plays an military vet that works training velociraptors, but no explanation is given about why he's qualified to train dinosaurs or why his expression seems to be frozen throughout the film. Bryce Dallas Howard plays the park's executive—the only notable female character in the film—and falls victim to half-joking gender clichés in most scenes.

When things invariably go wrong, the situation is propelled by actions that can only be described as unbelievably stupid. Disbelief can be suspended about the creation of a theme park with live dinosaurs. But the story loses all cohesion when that park seems to be completely unprepared for a dinosaur running amok, a potential emergency that's blindingly obvious to everyone except the film's key characters.

The effects are beautiful, but the plot devices are some of the mostAwesome visuals, but honestly that's one of the only good points about the movie. I'll list spoilers separate from the rest of this review at the bottom, clearly marked. The effects are beautiful, but the plot devices are some of the most atrocious I've ever seen. It feels like they spent 5 minutes brainstorming ideas and 50 days working on effects work. Jurassic Park 2 and 3 may have also had similarly bad plot premises, but nowhere near as bad as this one.

Then there's the acting. Chris Pratt is one of my favorite actors, I loved him in Guardians of the Galaxy and Parks&Rec. He's good at what he does best: humor and comedy with a hint of serious. Jurassic Park is...not a comedy, and while he's an excellent actor and overall person, he does NOT do 100% serious well. A lot of the dialogue seems corny at best, which further underscores the production as a whole. I'll briefly go into the most atrocious movie sins in the spoilers.

**SPOILERS**
**YOU'VE BEEN WARNED**

So, there were numerous plot devices that were absolutely horrible. This isn't nit-picking, but rather a statement of fact, given that the connections were not hard to make. For one, the entire premise of the movie is built around a Jurassic park. Cool, cool...but then, there are a NUMBER of horrible decisions and illogical conclusions made. So, the "military industrial complex" has a weapons contractor who is fascinated with raptors, and for some odd reason believes that animals = better machines...except for the fact that even without combat robots no one uses trained animals for combat anymore and NEVER used exotic animals such as tigers or lions...and especially NOT NOT NOT smart trained animals like Raptors. Even if you could theoretically get a Raptor to listen to your commands, and remove the barrier between handling, the costs would be exponentially higher especially given that Dinosaurs were brought back from EXTINCTION. There aren't even nearly enough to breed in a significant quantity even when you ignore the fact that maintenance and initial cost of animals is exponentially higher than machines in the first place.

Then you've got Jurassic World, which DESPITE knowing that Jurassic Park 1 failed because of an implanted frog gene allowing dinosaurs to change gender to breed, somehow decides "oh yeah sure, not knowing about the genes despite barely understanding how they work in the first place? No, that will be fine, just make us an entirely new dinosaur so we can create a pen for it with absolutely no way to know if it will be contained". And apparently, the "INDUSTRIAL MILITARY COMPLEX" that movies like to blame in the form of a weapons contractor has ZERO military oversight given that he was able to do all of this without a single questioning from the actual military...yeah no. In the real world, contractors might be able to get away with exponentially rising costs but no way in hell could one fund such a massive project without letting others know details. Government might hand out money, but they don't do so without knowing the details.

Then you've got laughable moments like when Chris Pratt apparently "mind controls" raptors...with food? And then apparently imprinting on him is enough to get them to attack their own kind to save Chris?

Honestly, the lack of any dialogue or character design, and the hundreds of plot holes are just atrocious. I could go on and on, going far past the metacritic 5000 character limit, but I won't. Jurassic World is somewhat entertaining, sure, but it's nothing worth the price of a movie ticket. While it's not a movie that you expect a wonderful plot out of....you have to draw a line somewhere.… Expand
