Jurassic World is a good movie. It has got a good cast, good CGI, the story isn't bad at all, but it can't equal the magic of the first Jurassic Park.

The characters in 'Jurassic World' aren't anything new and I'm talking about the kids in particular. I found these two mysterious kids as a left over that I don't even think I'll remember them, although it's confirmed that there will be another one. Chris Pratt felt kinda flat and to me he was really boring character, which I don't consider him a badass in my awesome mind. And Bryce Dallas Howard gives nothing special throughout the whole film. Now let's just move on to the action sequences. It gives it all, and it's more violent than the last three films which it did a great job in that. And the last fight, it felt real and gives you the suspense face. I'm just going to leave this review here and hopefully it doesn't cause hate.… Expand

Entertaining popcorn escapism, That's what "Jurassic World" is. Nothing more, nothing less. If you expect to be blown away like you were when you first saw "Jurassic Park", forget it. This movie was made to take us away from the real worldEntertaining popcorn escapism, That's what "Jurassic World" is. Nothing more, nothing less. If you expect to be blown away like you were when you first saw "Jurassic Park", forget it. This movie was made to take us away from the real world for a couple of hours, and to enhance the pocketbooks of all the folks who were involved in its making. So check your brain at the door and enjoy.… Expand

It has been 22 years since Jurassic Park ushered in the modern age of computer generated imagery, becoming the first motion picture to use the then-cutting edge special effects technology to astound and amaze us. Director Steven SpielbergIt has been 22 years since Jurassic Park ushered in the modern age of computer generated imagery, becoming the first motion picture to use the then-cutting edge special effects technology to astound and amaze us. Director Steven Spielberg allowed us to believe that dinosaurs were real. Repetition made the second Jurassic Park installment, 1997's The Lost World, a step down and Universal's decision to cut the budget for the third movie, 2001's Jurassic Park III, seemingly put an end to the saga. However, after a 14-year gap, the T-Rexes, velociraptors, and their ilk are back. With Spielberg executive producing and Colin Trevorrow behind the lens, it's time to again return to a universe where amber-encased prehistoric mosquitoes have made it possible for extinct creatures to roam.

Jurassic World features only one returning character from the original trilogy - BD Wong as Dr. Henry Wu - but that's not a drawback. All the necessary types are in place: Chris Pratt's Owen and Bryce Dallas Howard's Claire fill the heroic roles, Ty Simpkins' Gray and Nick Robinson's Zach are the annoying kids, Irrfan Khan is John Hammond's successor, and Vincent D'Onofrio is the unappealing military-type with his own agenda. Really, though, the Jurassic Park movies have never been about the human beings, be they Sam Neill's Alan Grant or Jeff Goldblum's Ian Malcom. They have been about the dinosaurs. Jurassic World features plenty of call-backs to Jurassic Park (including, I assume, the same T-Rex) but there are no cameos for Neill or Goldblum.

Despite having a slim resume (the quirky indie Safety Not Guaranteed), Trevorrow handles Jurassic World like a pro. He hits all the right notes, giving the two-dimensional characters as much heft as they deserve (which isn't much) and handling the action sequences like a seasoned veteran of Hollywood tent pole features. He references countless other monster movies, including obvious ones like King Kong and Godzilla and less evident choices like The Birds and (especially) Aliens. His style is part Spielberg/part Cameron.

Although this is essentially a big budget monster movie, the filmmakers aren't above a little social commentary/satire. They identify a vexing challenge faced by amusement parks: always having to amp up the thrill level of the attractions to lure back easily bored customers. This could also be seen as an observation about sequels in general and the Jurassic Park films in particular. One T-Rex was enough for the first film. Now, three movies later, we need the bigger, badder I-Rex. Jurassic World also takes some none-too-subtle jabs at corporate sponsorship and borrows from Aliens when reflecting on the military-industrial complex and how the soldier's mindset considers weaponizing dinosaurs.

Composer Michael Giacchino recognizes the importance of embracing John Williams' iconic themes rather than jettisoning them (as was done in Man of Steel). Guacchino gives us not only full orchestral renditions of the most noteworthy music but more subdued interpretations when those are appropriate. The dino-effects, both CGI and animatronic, are superior to those in the earlier Jurassic Park movies but that's not surprising considering how much things have advanced over the years. The 3-D is an utter and complete waste and is best avoided. It exists only because of the Hollywood mindset that all summer blockbusters must be released in 3-D to be considered legitimate.

Jurassic World leaves open the door for future installments but, while this is an enjoyable popcorn experience, it works best as a stand-alone follow-up. Trevorrow and his co-screenwriters deserve credit for milking two more worthwhile hours out of the Jurassic Park idea but there's nowhere else for the concept to go. It's played out. Another sequel would be folly. That's a future consideration, however (likely to be determined exclusively by $$). For now, there's only Jurassic World, which has taken the fossilized remains of a beloved franchise and given it a new life than many doubtlessly thought impossible.… Expand

It's been almost 2 years since this came out and I last saw it. I don't remember much, and that's the problem. What I do remember wasn't anything special, either. The effects aren't groundbreaking anymore, the characters aren't interestingIt's been almost 2 years since this came out and I last saw it. I don't remember much, and that's the problem. What I do remember wasn't anything special, either. The effects aren't groundbreaking anymore, the characters aren't interesting (with the exception of Chris Pratt), and none of them get much development. The story is kind of dumb, too. Why did they finish the park after everything that happened before? Why did they think it would be a good idea to make the Indominus Rex (or whatever it's called)? Why were people losing interest in DINOSAURS?! The movie at least had a little good action, but not enough, and I didn't like much else in the movie. Seeing the original Jurassic Park for the first time recently only makes these flaws more glaring, since it's so much better.… Expand

Nice Try! I want to give them a point because they started something new, but the storyline is too boring and predictable.

I'll try and keep this as short as I can. Jurassic World is a fantastic film, but you should go in with arms wide open, and try not to think too much of it's previous films. It's as simple as that.

Jurassic World suffers a few clichés and a couple of moments that you'll expect. But Jurassic World was still a great film despite those flaws. I would have rated this film an 8, but because of the fantastic soundtrack I've given this a sold 9.

If you're of course going in to see explosions, guns, people being eaten, ripped to shreds, that's what you're going to see. But if you're going into the cinema expecting a complex storyline and well developed characters. Then maybe you shouldn't go and watch it.

Anyway, I personally thought that Jurassic World was a fantastic film, Chris Pratt did a great job on his role, and so did Bryce Howard. Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson, eh... Well, they did ok for the most part.

The overall film was very detailed and immersive, which is another thing that I liked a lot about the film as well. The storyline again, not really complex, you kind of know what's going to happen.

That's all there is to it. Just expect lots of action, and some thrill.… Expand
