This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know why they said this would ignore the existence of 2-3. It made sense that nobody would be dumb enough to mess with dinosaurs after they invaded the city and took over another island... Every single character except the doctor from the original film was completely overrun by stupidity. The characters are so dim that they easily would have tried to run the park after three previous disasters. No doubt the film had great scenes of dinosaurs wreaking havoc but the human stupidity was beyond unacceptable. Who designs a ride that allows guests to have complete freedom to roam wherever they please unsupervised? Why did the owner of the park blame his lead scientist for doing exactly what he was told to do? Why are carnivorous dinosaurs all of the sudden not attacking humans? Why did they tell us that the T-Rex was coming back and not include it more? After watching for 45-60 mins you basically guess the purpose of the original monster if you haven't done so before even watching. Why is the T-Rex not destroying everything? Once again, I loved all the dinosaur scenes just not so much the look at the cute little velociraptor scenes (entirely too many of them) I wasn't looking for a smart movie, just one with maybe the most basic common sense. This movie gets a half decent rating from this reviewer because of the dinosaurs. The humans all score less than .5/10. Whoever approved this script should be fired but likely will not be due to the films disappointing success.… Expand

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.
Nonetheless, a proper summer hit!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The park is open, and with it comes a great and entertaining adventure, with Chris Pratt as the charismatic Owen, a velociraptor trainer, and Bryce Dallas-Howard as the always-busy Claire. Along with two child actors, Chris and Bryce face a huge danger, and it isn't the not-inspired Indominus Rex, who broke free from his cage and unleashed chaos on Jurassic World. The real danger here are the plot holes, the stupid moments and the visual effects, who seems incredibly dated when compared to the original Jurassic Park (yes, from '93).

With all that said, Jurassic World succeeds at being a good monster movie, and better than the horrible Jurassic Park III, while also paying an homage to the T-Rex. With nothing more to it, make a popcorn, drink your beverage and turn your brain off to enjoy the movie.… Expand

I'm very familiar with the critics score of 59 because it doesn't deserve any more. It's a movie with dumb dialogues, annoying actors and actresses. This movie is like any other movies today, simply put fan favorite actors in, make great looking CGI, great effects, and additionally put everything crazy in the movie like new fictional dinosaurs and raptors who do as master orders...

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The artistic medium of film is very subjective. Every audience member has a different set of criteria they use to measure their viewing experience. Not everyone shares the same set of criteria. If we did, what a bland and uninspired world this would be.

What I Personally Liked About "Jurassic World":
I really enjoyed the performance of Bryce Dallas Howard. She's a consummate professional who gives us a fairly well rounded character and her interactions with Irrfan Khan (as Masrani) are priceless. Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins are also very good younger actors who involve themselves with their roles instead of allowing themselves to be dragged along for the ride. We also get a small sense of wonder at the scope of the theme park through their eyes which we haven't really felt since Sam Neill and Laura Dern first stepped foot in the original park back in 1993. Another thing I really like is the fact that the makers of the film more honestly own up to the genetic differences between their engineered dinosaurs and the real deal from millions of years ago. A lovely summation delivered by BD Wong's character sees to that.

What I Personally Disliked About "Jurassic World":
In the first half hour of this film, the writers seem to repeat themselves in their dialogue far too often. The same exposition feels like it's given on five or six different occasions and that is just a boring way to introduce your characters and set up your future angles. The first film let scenarios develop naturally and this fourth installment of the franchise would have done well to learn from its originator. Also, what is with Chris Pratt all of a sudden. It seems like the guy came out of nowhere and is now the manufactured flavor of the decade. The mass market audience might eat him up but those who crave real acting skills will be left with hunger pangs. When his inevitable crash and burn from pretty boy front man happens, it is going to be painful to watch (think Shia LaBeouf). Something else that really took me out of the film was the unnecessarily over-the-top death of Katie McGrath's character Zara. Seriously, a more innocent role has never had a less deserving death than hers. Next time do the cinematic world a favor and kill off Pratt instead. Sadly, there are a few other over-the-top moments as well, but there is very little sustainable tension for a two-hour movie. There should be a constant threat to our leading men and women instead of just sporadic bursts of dino danger. It really undermines the urgency of their situation on the island. Finally, the Indominus Rex itself takes center stage on my list of personal dislikes. This thing looks like a reject from the 1998 "Godzilla" atrocity when compared to the other beasts in this movie. All the build-up in the world couldn't stop the creature who was supposed to be the film's star attraction from being a hokey gimmick that limits the suspense value of key sequences. When it first attacked the team carrying the non-lethal weaponry, it felt like a joke. You're supposed to make your audience scream in terror at an attack such as that one, not pee their pants from laughing so hard. The long-awaited cameo appearance from the Tyrannosaurus Rex at the finale of the film is an all-too brief blessing.

My Overall Impression of "Jurassic World":
Between Chris Pratt and the Indominus Rex, there's just too much cheese on my burger. It makes it hard to taste the meat and really, the meat is what you're paying for. This sequel is the slightest of notches beneath "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" in terms of its level of enjoyment. The filmmakers should have been aiming much higher than that.… Expand

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

Dass Colin Trevorrows aufgeblasenes Revival aber schlechter ist als der schon unspektakuläre Vorgänger, schon. Bereits ganz zu Anfang beweist Trevorrow sein fehlendes Fingerspitzengefühl: Michael Giacchinos supermarkanter John-Williams-Filmscore begleitet völlig banale Szenen, während der obligatorische Einführungsflug über Isla Nublar mit einem schlecht gemachten Helikopter die nicht immer gelungenen Spezialeffekte andeutet. Dann bricht der erste Dino aus – und mit ihm die starke Mitte des Films, in der Echsenneuling Indominus Rex mit Kindern Fußball spielt, Chris Pratt und Bryce Dallas Howard wie im klassischen Abenteuerfilm hitzig-witzig flirten und sogar der alte Jurassic Park mal vorbeischaut. Schlussendlich jedoch geht mit ironiefrei-dämlichen Dialogen, ideenloser Action und chaotisch geschnittenen Godzilla-Saurierkämpfen wieder alles zum Teufel. So taugt Jurassic World höchstens noch als weitgehend unterhaltsamer Blockbuster für Kinder, denen Steven Spielberg kein Begriff ist.… Expand

When I already considered the "Jurassic Park" franchise extinct, director Colin Trevorrow decided to bring it back in his first major feature film, that works as a sequel to existing films and was an audacious step for him.

The script isWhen I already considered the "Jurassic Park" franchise extinct, director Colin Trevorrow decided to bring it back in his first major feature film, that works as a sequel to existing films and was an audacious step for him.

The script is very easy to summarize and works as a sequel/reboot: the dubious legacy of John Hammond and InGen is acquired by Simon Masrani. He decides to rebuild the park, a short distance from the original facilities, renaming it Jurassic World. However, they used new dinosaurs in addition to the historical ones, created with genetic crossing. Of course, things get out of control again and everything ends up bad.

The worst of this film is extreme predictability. From the beginning, we know more or less what will happen and how it will end. It's just a matter of seeing the details. There are scenes that are truly copied from the previous films, with the addition of some make-up and effects to disguise a weak story and a recipe that has worn out a lot after three films. The lack of tension and sense of danger also disappoint. Even the worst sequels of "Jurassic Park" had moments where we felt that the characters could die there. Here, everything is artificial and controlled, like a video game.

The cast is, to say the least, irregular. I liked the performance of Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt, even though Howard appears in a character who takes a long time to gain our sympathy and who seems quite cold and disconnected from reality in the initial half. Irrfan Khan did a good job by giving life to Masrani, who looks like the mix of a utopian idealist and an unscrupulous capitalist. Less interesting, because totally empty of dramatic value, are the performances of Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson, which only exist to be in danger and to be saved, by BD Wong and Vincent D'Onofrio, the cliché of cold individuals who only care about money, and Katie McGrath, who only exists to be eaten alive!

It is in the technical details and production values that we can guess how much money was actually invested in this film. The cinematography is very good, with good colors and some scenes and sequences impress by the visual beauty such as the landscapes of the new park, the scenes in the forest or even the walk between dinosaurs inside an electronic glass sphere. There are a lot of special effects and CGI involved, of very good quality. The sound effects, however, and particularly the roars, were recycled from previous films, as well as the soundtrack... but the soundtrack had to be present because it is one of the most iconic ever in cinema!

In conclusion ... the film is a production that probably would be excused, as it recycles a formula that has long lost interest in the expectation of making it attractive by throwing it money. It did not work well, with the irregular cast performance and the weak script, without life or emotion, being decisive for the failure. However, it was still able to entertain. You can see it once, but it's not a movie I'd like to revisit.… Expand

The first issue is that the script lacks detail for the characters and they lack any development. The direction feels flat and doesn't feel like the director has done anything to make this film unique in anyone. The final issue which I will discuss here is that the CGI is some of the worst put into a big Hollywood blockbuster. These are the three main issues which this film has, but there is more. The narrative is boring and by the time the finale came around, I was bored by this film and didn't care.

- Michael Giacchino's score
- Some of the coolest dinosaur sequences in the franchise as of yet
- Indominus Rex design
- The "boyfriend" joke near the end of the film

CONS
- All the characters
- Stegosaurus design (lower tail)
- Realism is completely thrown out of the window
- Dumb and/or unnecessary plot elements
- Seems way too much like a kids movie

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

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

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.

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

I started looking at my watch pretty early on. I thought the point of movies like this was to give the audience the feeling of "What if?" -- In this case what if humans recreated dinosaurs and opened a theme park and the dinosaurs escapedI started looking at my watch pretty early on. I thought the point of movies like this was to give the audience the feeling of "What if?" -- In this case what if humans recreated dinosaurs and opened a theme park and the dinosaurs escaped their enclosure? How would you feel? How would you react? What could go wrong?
The first Jurassic Park did a great job of painting how different individuals would react in that situation. Remember the genuine terror those kids felt? -- screaming and exhausted and frightened. The fear in Sam Neil's eyes. The lawyer who leaves the kids to fend for themselves. Anyway, I could go on. The point is all the characters showed a range of emotions that the audience could relate to. They are the emotions we believe we would feel in such a terrifying situation. The Lawyer represented our baser urges of wanting to run, in spite of those we leave behind. Sam Neil represents responsibility of those he's been entrusted with. Laura Dern, represents a woman's maternal instincts. Wayne Knight's feeling of ingratitude and greed. So we live vicariously for two hours through those characters because we understand the way they feel... even the baser emotions of the bad characters.
In sharp contrast, Jurassic World treats every character like the two dimensional page it was written on. There's no genuine fear displayed. There's no feeling of "Oh that's how I would react". I mean when Chris Pratt is under the car when the I-Rex escapes and he just looks at that guy for a moment before the guy is eaten, I couldn't help but feel if that guy was Bryce Dallas Howard's character, then Pratt's character would have tried to distract the dinosaur, or at least do something... anything. Instead he just watches as the I-Rex finally eats him. Not much of a hero, but the character that was eaten was only a bit player, so his death means nothing. And that's the problem: every death in this movie means nothing. It's barely acknowledged when people start being killed. You would think even one death should have some effect on Bryce Dallas Howard's character but she remains unaffected. Oh wait a second, she did cry when she came across that dying dinosaur. An emotion that had no development whatsoever -- it just suddenly appeared. Nice to see she can cry at the death of a dinosaur but not an ounce of evident remorse when people started being killed.
We as the audience don't just go to observe the unraveling of the plot, we go to experience every scene vicariously through the characters. For that vicarious feeling to work we need to relate to the characters emotionally. The same way we get emotional when watching our team play a game of football or basketball etc. We're emotionally invested in our team, so it means something to us. Watching a game without our team playing doesn't have the same effect on us. On top of that we usually have a favorite player who we're even more emotionally invested in. He or she is usually the player that does the things we believe we would do if we had the opportunity and ability. We get even more emotionally invested in the player if he or she is a great person off the field -- especially if they're funny and charismatic. Again we're feeling "I want to be like him or her". Same goes for characters in a movie. The hero has to be a person who does the right thing, no matter what the cost. Pratt's character made no effort to save that poor guy. And the fact is he didn't even have to save him, but he had to try to save him. Anyway this is just one example.
Bryce Dallas Howard's character has no redeeming qualities until near the end of the film. She's given the same aloofness that Sam Neil's character had in the first film when it comes to kids, but Sam Neil was given the opportunity early on to show that he has a heart of gold.
The moping teenager was a chore to watch -- what was the point of having a moping teenager who does practically nothing in the film other than mope? Oh he fixes a car, so teenagers are useful after all was the message I guess. Is the point to have a character for each age and gender demographic? When I was a kid I watched mainly characters in their 30s and 40s -- I didn't need a character my own age to vicariously experience the events of the movie through. Nor did I need a male representative when I was watching Ellen Ripley outsmart and slaughter aliens. I was happy to experience the film vicariously through her, despite the fact she is a woman and I'm a man. I'm not saying don't have them in the movie, I'm saying do have them in there, but represent them accurately and entertainingly.
It seems, it's not about having a great story anymore; it's about trying to represent every possible demographic, but only to a point that couldn't possibly be offensive to any individual in those demographics.
Is it at least fun? Fun is watching an entertaining movie. It's not fun feeling bored because the movie was emotionless, uninvolving and just so poorly written.… Expand

'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'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 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 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

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

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

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

Although I understand that Jurassic Park is considered a classic and an endearing film in the memory of many people, the favorite of many because of their childhood, personally for me was always a very bland film, because beyond the dinosaursAlthough I understand that Jurassic Park is considered a classic and an endearing film in the memory of many people, the favorite of many because of their childhood, personally for me was always a very bland film, because beyond the dinosaurs the film did not had something else to offer.
And what is happening with Jurassic World? The same.

Jurassic World is a blockbuster in all its forms but failed in its execution, weak in script and weak in its development, throughout the whole film the feeling of deja vú will be inevitable, because in spite of its visual achievements, Jurassic World is basically Jurassic Park updated.

I honestly recommend it because I know it will be fun for most people and I have always stressed that cinema is also about that, so I recommend it. On the other aspects, there is much to be done.… Expand

This movie was silly, the guys I went with were either bored, laughing, or modestly entertained. I’m kinda tough on action movies, so others in our group of 8 might give it a 5 or possibly 6.

The idea that dinosaurs would get boring within the span of a few years is hilarious to me. Ordinary zoos have existed for literal centuries.

Seriously we had 3 movies before we do not need the same character disposition and explanation of the dinosaurTotal disappointment in almost every way. First, the movie takes way too long to get to the freaking point where **** goes wrong. Seriously we had 3 movies before we do not need the same character disposition and explanation of the dinosaur breeding system all over again. When the movie finally starts kicking it fails immediately because of the way the outbreak develops. I expected much more horror scenes in this movie where the dinos stalk their prey and everybody is like "oh shiii what shall we do were gonna die". Nope, instead its just plain simple running away, forming a plan and saving the world. Sorry but im too old to be able to get exited for this kind of bullshi*.

3/10 because of the really good but too short TREX VS Indominus.… Expand

I went into this withI don't know how many of these shining reviews are paid shills or just morons but let me give you an honest review of this movie based on my own perspective as a picky viewer that won't waste time or money on garbage. I went into this with extremely low expectations and I won't claim its unwatchable or the worst thing ever but this movie is seriously in the running for the worst JP movie and that says alot, considering how badly the 2nd and 3rd movies were picked apart I fully expect this one to be torn apart piece by piece by more thorough reviewers in the months to come. I know many reviews have already said this but the acting, the plot and the character development are all awful. there is no other way to put it, all the characters are walking stereotypes and there is nothing in the way of a Grant/Malcolm to try to salvage this with their banter, it's just good guys/bad guys and a bunch of rehashing of previous ideas with even less to hold it all together. The best way I can describe this movie is that it's not a story but it's spectacle on par with a circus act. A huge chunk of the movie is just showing off the park with its cgi crap and then a SUPER dino gets loose and causes chaos, that's basically the entire movie. I found myself rolling my eyes several times at both the 'story' going on here and the literally cringeworthy product placement. I kid you not there's a scene where the 2 brothers have just witnessed a dino exhibit and one of them says "wanna see something really cool?" and the scene immediately cuts to a close up shot of a mercedes benz(this close up panning outward shot of the mercedes logo happens at least 2-3 more times throughout the movie) and this is not the only example going on here. What's incredibly ironic is that the movie actually takes a shot at product placement in the first 30 minutes, using one of the minor secondary characters to mock the idea of corporations naming dinos and sponsoring the park exhibits. But even beyond the nitpicking, the real problem with this movie is the total lack of character development and the poor directing/acting which leads to a total lack of suspense in a movie that in theory is suppose to be suspenseful and frightening. By the time the last 20 minutes were rolling around I was thinking "this is almost over and absolutely nothing of substance has happened" right before you get blitzed by a big stupid dino brawl and an unsatisfying ending that is basically a copy of the previous endings but 'BIGGER'. Unless you're just looking for some Michael Bayesque mindless tripe to spend 2 hours on I highly suggest saving your money and go find something better to do. This is just another cash grab using an established franchise and doesn't deserve the money it already has and will continue to rake in.… Expand

Okay while watching it, quite stupid when thinking about it and talking about the movies missteps with friends afterwards. It's basically Universal Studios doing a re-boot trilogy thingy with a nostalgic Millennials movie franchise. In 1993 I took my younger sister to see JP when she was 8 years old. So she is the target audience for this fourth "Dinos In Park Run Wild" effort. Even though 22 years later we both still know that the original is still the best, and that all of the sequels (including this one) are pretty meh.

It's got product placement up the yin-yang from every nook and cranny. I laughed several times at the "unintentional comedy" via bits of dialogue and paper thin performances that were very, VERY dumb. You can tell this movie was "Pre-vized & action set pieced" worked months before a page of script was written. You can also tell the age range of commenters with what they perceive as "deep or interesting" character wise simply from the limited knowledge within their posts. A whole generation raised on Bayformer eye candy crap with weak script writing...and it shows.

And while JWorld was an enjoyable B level monster movie and THAT's ALL, nothing more - just like Jeremy Jahns, Chris Stuckmann, and Rotten Tomatoes all rated it - it has several moments of Micheal Bay level stupidity in the script that folks are giving a pass on because of the JP brand and nostalgia of Spielberg's classic. But I call it like I see it. Jurassic World is just another pure cash grab action sequel, like the much hated Jurassic Park 3 was, and nothing was advanced for this same story told 4 times over now. Even the ending of JWorld was the SAME ending of the first film and the third film, except with MORE MORE MORE.

If you listen to Colin Trevorrow's interview with the Schmoes Know Movies crew, he even admits that the movie had to hit certain studio influenced beats while in production, and that's lame. You should be trying to make the best movie possible no matter what (and maybe Colin did try to do that as this movie reeks of many studio/producer cooks in the kitchen). So to me, the bar should have been set at making a movie as good as JP '93. Not "We're just gonna aim for barely better JP 3 and arguably on pas with The Lost World.

Not settling for the usual "Include kids because kids need to relate, include military and a divorce story because domestic audiences are familiar with these tropes, redo the final battle of JP '93 but add more beasties because more equal better" etc. One more thing. I did a re-watch of all three JP films and I gotta say that the visual FX in Jurassic World, in 2015, are really not that special compared to it's first two cousins. Also, folks rag on JP3, but at least Joe Johnston tried to make animatronic Dino-baddies for its 3rd act showdown with the Spinosaurus Rex & Raptors.

After thinking about the movie, a proper poster tagline for this flick should have read:

"Jurassic World: The Park Is Open, But Only Dumb People Are Invited...please buy Bose, Starbucks, Mercedes Benz etc etc etc products on your way out."… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was so pumped to see this movie, got to see it before anyone else by purchasing tickets near a theater i live by a month ago, got to see it 5 hours early!

anyways, this movie almost had me walking out in the first 30 minutes. The acting was terrible from the girl in the control room *run it's in there with you!!!* like wtf? I seen better acting out of B-Movies then this 150 million dollar budget movie.

1.the story made no sense... militarizing raptors? hey wouldn't making robots be better suited? i mean you guys can prolly understand the common sense I mean with that comparison....

2.The raptors evidently are trained blood hounds after chasing a pig....

3. I-rex makes the raptors turn on the humans.... then 5 minutes later they are like FU** you I-rex HE TOOK MY COLLAR OFF! give me a break....

4. I-rex knows and understands thermal imaging and knows exactly when to set up a perfect trap....

5. the first raptor to die by the rocket.... first off why was their a guy on a hill, a quarter of a mile away with a freaking rocket ready to shoot a raptor.....

6. the raptor that turns on the I-rex and wins the day, didn't he get his freaking spine broken?????? and that slow motion scene of him coming out of the corner... seriously...

7. i'm surprised the raptor and t-rex didn't fist bump after I-rex Died

god i can just keep on writing and writing this movie was TERRIBLE… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The dialogue was horrendous. but what can one expect to come out of the mouth of such highly contrived characters? The humans in this movie were only the fleshy vehicles we were forced ride in order to get to the CGI money shot at the end. Using mass amounts of crowded people as pterodactyl niblits was a nice touch.

If it's loud. mildly frightening dinosaurs in 3D you want while you suck down a family size pop corn and 64 oz cola to yourself, I highly recommend going to see this in the theater, if only for the last 15 minutes.

If you enjoy character development, story, and a symbolic musical score, or any kind of metaphorical subtext, please continue to wait for Stephen Spielberg to come back to the franchise (which he won't).… Expand

This really isn't a good movie, the best thing about it is Chris Pratt. Even CG on dinosaurs looks outdated. It's like the director had a checklist of things he had to put in a movie, and put them together with little rime or reason.

I'm a huge fan of the Jurassic series and anything dinosaur related. But this just didn't have the thrill, scare or heart stopper like the previous Jurassic park movies. You actually got to see gore, and death in the previous series so it was always a heart racer. But they made up excuses to cover it all up in Jurassic World. They took control of what was meant to be chaos. Raptors were always a huge fear factor in Jurassic movies, now they sort of just tell them to sit, stay, roll over. The scene of the pig escaping and the new guy falling into the raptor cage was a potential thrill, then the tamer came in and again, told the raptors to sit. Two or three people 'may' have died. The rest could walk it off. Had it been the first Jurassic movie in the series I've seen, then yeah it would have been amazing. But it wasn't so it isn't.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This Review is written in GERMAN Language!

Ich war ein grosser Fan der alten Jurassic-Park-Filme, weil es etwas neues, innovatives war vor allem mit den Computergenerierten Dinos.

Allerdings ist Jurassic-World nur ein flacher Abklatsch mit fadenscheinigen Begründungen um die Story überhaupt erklären zu können.

Der Film hat dermaßen viele Plot-Fehler und schlechte Erklärungen, dass man aus dem Augenrollen schon gar nicht mehr rauskommt... leider.

Ich zähle einfach mal die Dinge auf, die mir am ehesten auf den Magen gestossen sind und mich fast dazu gebracht haben das schauen des Films vorzeitig abzubrechen und nach Hause zu gehen.

1. Die Begründung aus den Raptoren lebende Waffen zu machen die man im Feindgebiet aussetzt ist so dermaßen schlecht, dass am ehesten die Waffenverrückten Amerikaner am ehesten verstehen, warum die Bemerkungen in dieser Hinsicht absolut schwachsinnig sind. Natürlich gibt es Drohnen die Höhlen erforschen können, es gibt sogar Bomben die extra dafür gedacht sind Höhlensysteme zu zerstören. Ausserdem wurde bisher noch NIE eine Drohne gehackt, zumindest nicht nach dem was wir wissen und vor allem, wie Drohnen funktionieren. Also keine Ahnung wie die Filmemacher auf diesen Unsinn kamen. JEDE Armee der Welt würde Drohnen und automatische Systeme die SIE kontrollieren einer biologischen Bedrohung vorziehen, da diese auf Dauer einfach nicht kontrollierbar ist, weil es wilde Tiere sind.

2. Als die Protagonisten feststellen, dass der neu gezüchtete Saurier "fehlt" , warten die Wildhüter nichtmal die 5 Minuten ab bis die Chefin im Kontrollzentrum prüfen konnte wo sich der Saurier tatsächlich befindet, mittels des Ortungs-chips. Nein, wir rennen in das Gehege in der Hoffnung, dass die Instrumente zur Anwesenheitsprüfung auch tatsächlich keine Fehlfunktion haben. Nur um ein bischen Spannung zu erzeugen und letztendlich eine Situation herbeizuführen in der der Saurier dann auch tatsächlich flüchten kann. Hätten sie "WIE JEDER NORMALE MENSCH" die paar Minuten gewartet dann wär der Film an dieser Stelle vorbei gewesen, aber das geht ja nicht...

3. Als die Schwester der Park-Chefin feststellt, dass sie ihre Jungs nicht beim Rundgang begleitet, fängt sie nach 2 Sekunden das flennen an... ich weiss dass es solche Frauen gibt, aber dieses Klischee hätte man wirklich sein lassen können und sie einfach etwas harscher reden lassen anstatt sie als emotionales Wrack darzustellen.

4. Dinosaurier sind immernoch gefährlich... trotzdem ist der Park so konzipiert, dass die Besucher mit ihrem seltsamen Glaskugelgefährt selbstständig den Weg bestimmen können. In keinem Park der Welt würde so etwas erlaubt werden, da Menschen, wie Dinosaurier, unberechenbar sind. Was ist wenn sich 2 Kumpels einen Spass erlauben und testen wie sich ein Dino verhält wenn man ihn mit dieser Kugel rammt, oder veranstalten ein rennen über den gesamten freien Park. So ein Quatsch.

5. Im Park gibt es durchschnittlich 15.000 Besucher. Allerdings gibt es nur 15-20 mit nicht tödlichen Waffen bestückte Aufseher um diese zu schützen... Mal davon abgesehen dass die Besucher auch unter kontrolle gehalten werden müssen durch Security und andere Aufsichtskräfte... zb. um Diebstähle und Gewalttätigkeiten zu verhindern, sind 20 Wildhüter für eine so riesige Fläche einfach absoluter schwachsinn. Unser Wildpark, mit Hirschen und Wildschweinen, hat mehr Aufseher mit RICHTIGEN WAFFEN, als dieser mit gefährlichen Tieren versehene Park... aus dem Augenrollen kommt man praktisch nicht mehr raus.

6. Die Park-Chefin (mit ihrer hässlichen Helmfrisur) lässt nur einen kleinen Teil des Parks durch absolut unfähiges Personal (zb. der Azubi ohne Plan von nix) räumen obwohl gerade ihr komplettes Wildhüterteam in kleine Teile zerrissen wurde.... und sie eigentlich weiss, dass NIEMAND mehr da ist um die Menschen vor der Bedrohung zu schützen. Wie wurde die denn Chefin von IRGENDWAS? Ja... hochgebummst, das kann man vielleicht anführen an dieser Stelle.

Ich könnte noch weitere Dinge aufzählen, aber dieser Film enttäuscht alle 5 Minuten von neuem. Sehr schade, ich wollte ihn mögen.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jurassic World presents a tug-of-war where expectations are hoping to be met but are continuously resisted by poor writing and acting in what otherwise should have been a decent experience. There is enough awe to help mask a few of the underlying weaknesses that are difficult to ignore, but this success is short-lived. Before the motorcycle scene there were glimmers of optimism that this might be the decent sequel. But it gets much worse in an attempt to tie up a pretty loose plot. Ultimately, there isn't much to believe about this movie, even at the character level. About halfway through it's fairly obvious where the plot is going and this only makes things worse. Admittedly, it's hard to hate Jurassic World but it's even harder to take it seriously.… Expand

You weren't thinking. Game over, unsalvageable. Unless you can pull a rabbit out of your as*! The trailers work better than the movie. Too many flaws to mention. But I will mention 1 or 2. Earliest trailers included Ed Hammonds funeral. Remember him. The one to have the dream of Jurassic Park. The AW of Jurassic Park was great.

Mabel and I went to see the Jurassic World last night and were thoroughly entertained, unlike my friend Mark, that would be me. We must have seen two different movies.

Between the forced love story and the obvious product placement, the genetically modified dinosaurs, and the bad one liners, this movie pulls itself in too many directions to be taken seriously. The only deccent parts are nods to the original.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie follows the exact same formula as the first movie: Expert is called to the park to give a green light to a particular aspect of the park, two kids are left under the questionable supervision of people who are not paying them any particular attention, and surprise! A large carnivore escapes and causes all sorts of chaos. The movie is bigger than the original: More dinosaurs escape, more people are in the park when it happens, and CG is overused with reckless abandon. Obvious nods to the first JP are milestones separated by groan-worthy story arcs (the two boys with the unhappy parents could have just not been in the movie and nothing would have changed, yet we're forced through awkward minutes of them discussing their parents' impending divorce) and are shoehorned in with such frequency that one could easily believe this movie is nothing more than a cash-in. Moments like these lead to one which took me out of the movie entirely, like one where the jeeps from the first park are made to run using twenty year old gasoline, oil, and batteries. Sorry, Jurassic World, not in this or any reality. The movie culminates in a grand climax that is ruined when a t-rex and a velociraptor give each other a 's'up bro' nod afterward instead of attempting to kill one another as they should have. This movie is potato chips: Everyone bought it but no one came away with any substance.… Expand

I think I saw this movie back in 1993. It's a recycled movie. If you have seen the first one, you've seen all of them. They are all about Dinosaurs that break lose. I hope we don't get another...

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's absolute garbage.

Characters: They're all bad (sorry Chris Pratt, you're great in Parks and Recreation), and are difficult to relate to because they are all poorly-written and dumber than dumb. Constantly I found myself baffled at the choices characters made, which put themselves and others at risk for seemingly no payoff. It's impossible to relate to characters that make dumb decisions that the audience wouldn't make, even under pressure. They're not great, and the cliche portrayal of the female lead was not alleviated by a token show of strength (when she saved Chris Pratt), as she continues to whimper for most of the film. I hate to use the term "cardboard cut-outs," because it is so overused and here it really doesn't apply. The characters have clear motivations: Howard's is maintain profit and safety, Pratt's is protection of animals (which leads into a very corny message), and Military Dude Stereotype's is to militarise the raptors. It's just that they're so boring, and have been done so many times before. Also, no offence to the kids (and I understand that having them there is to include kids in the audience) but they seem to have caught the stupid virus, and constantly cause danger and put their lives at risk. People in Jurassic World have the self-preservation of Star Trek redshirts.

Product Placement: This is almost a deal-breaker for someone like me. It's cheap, and in a film marketed to children (yes, there were many in the cinema with us) it's just downright amoral. I saw Mercedes Benz cars everywhere, an obvious Coca Cola pitch with Chris Pratt (which looked as though cut straight from a commercial), and Samsung products up the arse: such as the "Samsung Innovation Centre." It feels like a complete cop-out.

Scares: Move along.

CG: Not very convincing, somehow less so than the first film. Very low standard, though with Chris Pratt in there, I'm not surprised how better graphics were not included in the budget (even with the countless product tie-in deals).

Story: Stuff happens, plays it safe and predictably. Pretty terrible message: environment good, science has gone too far, blah blah blah.

Overall: I enjoyed the film, especially taking the piss out of it with a friend. It's just so appallingly bad that it's sickly enjoyable, like a sweet pain. I'm being charitable with a 2/10, and if you want a better action film, see Mad Max Fury Road. If you want a better children's film, watch Inside Out. This film's sure not to win any awards (lest the good kind) and will be forgotten very quickly.… Expand

A silly and action oriented sequel to a franchise built on the original movie which had an interesting premise and scenes of true instinctual fear. Also, two words: altruistic dinosaurs. At least I enjoyed my popcorn and coke.

It was not a film I had expected. The excitement was very little; the screenplay was awful, the 3D effects were not so strong.
The music was just tolerable.

Why did they make this film? Perhaps Ian Malcom said it best: " You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could,Why did they make this film? Perhaps Ian Malcom said it best: " You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now..."

And now.

Let me take you on a tour. The first thing you'll notice in JW are cliche stock characters: the woman so obsessed with her job she just needs a good strong man to make an honest woman out of her, the good strong man, the eeeevil, spoooky scientists, the money grubbing CEO......

Then you'll notice products. Products products products. Coke, Mercedes Benz, Samsung; at one point a child points out that a vine covered vehicle is a "1992 Jeep Wrangler..." because if you can't SHOW the product, you sure can have a child who inexplicably knows a lot about vehicles SAY the product.

Then, if you know anything about dinosaurs, you'll notice lots of mistakes. Like the mosasaurus being about 10 times bigger than it was in real life (the original JP took some liberties to make the dinos darker in shade than they probably were, but this movie is off the rails.)

Then you'll notice lots of logical inconsistencies. Like, after the Indominus Rex escapes, Bryce Dallas Howard's character is concerned that if they alert the crowd a dino is on the loose, the park will get closed. Are we supposed to believe that the resulting lawsuits from five peoples' deaths wouldn't shut the park down, anyway? Are we also supposed to believe that an ancient predator with a reptilian brain will just listen to Chris Pratt, because, reasons? Are we also supposed to believe that a military dude wants to steal raptors to use them in combat, even though they'd be unarmed and most wars are fought by drones, now, anyway?

Look, I didn't go into this movie with a bad outlook. I went into it hoping they might recapture some of the old magic. But this movie is all about loose plots with no emotional weight, big logical leaps, overdone product placement to the point you feel like you're watching a commercial, and to be completely honest, action scenes that are all special-effect with no exciting tension.… Expand

The director desperately tries to recapture the magic and feel of the 1993 movie but he just can't. Plot holes are ever present, but that's OK, we have been used to it. Acting and dialogue are mostly mediocre, and character development arcs are, well, where are they?

Let's go into some of the story tidbits then. A new hybrid dinosaur is created in the lab as a bigger T-Rex (named Indominous Rex), it can go into full stealth mode (can't be traced by thermal scanners LOL), it fooled its human captors faking its escape by leaving climbing marks on the cagewalls while it was hiding and waiting for its chance to escape through some open door/gate, and yet someone from the Army thinks it's a good idea to use it in military operations so he tries to safeguard it. Another seemingly good idea is the abundance of big carnivorous dinosaurs in a theme park where thousands of people are expected to joyously roam around while on vacations. Even stupider is the fact that after what happened in The Lost World (where a T-Rex escaped in San Diego and went into a destructive rampage killing people) there would still exist those who would trust a company to create a dinosaur-themed park and still visit it. But the worst of the worst is the funny idea that someone can tame dinosaurs as fierce as the Velociraptors and command 4 of them as if they were his pet dogs.

All in all, Jurassic World is an absolute mess. At least it is somewhat viewable as a blockbuster action movie and you can mindlessly consume some pop corns at home if you have nothing better to do, provided you are willing to accept many (if not all) of its sins. The fact that this silly movie became so successful at the box office and got much better critical reviews than Batman vs Superman is worrisome.… Expand
