Why the dinosaur whale did not eat the whole park?

God creates dinosaurs

Dinosaurs inspire man

Man destroys God

The Indie-to-Hollywood Conversion Factory creates Colin Trevorrow

Colin Trevorrow reverse-engineers a beloved childhood favorite and puts most of the pieces back in a satisfying, nostalgic and highly entertaining fashion, if also neglecting the importance of character and the great, oh-so-great value of Goldblumian acting capabilities.

Second-rate writers inherit the earth
Review by Evan ★★★½ 15

If I had seen this film when I was 13, I would have absolutely loved it. At 22 years old, I still really liked this movie. I'm essentially still a kid at heart, so I had a pretty darn good time with Jurassic World.

In a sense Jurassic World is kind of a bad film. It's messy, cheesy, predictable, and kind of stupid. The script is weak and the dialogue will make you roll your eyes. Despite all of that, I still had quite a bit of fun and I am a fan of this movie. As an entertainment piece it really delivered for me. It's very exciting and fun to watch. There's a lot of really solid action set…
Review by Tiago Costa ★★★ 5

The movie leans too much on dinosaurs being cool and Chris Pratt being likable and cool, the writing is really lackluster. The plotting of the two kids is some lazy second-hand Spielbergism.

The CGI looks great when the camera holds still, but the shots are constantly fast-panning during the action, making the screen a blurry mess. Several scenes seem to be there mostly to have stills of Chris Pratt looking good in front of a motorcycle, on a motorcycle, with a gun, etc.

It also has a dearth of solid female characters when compared to the original. In the original, Laura Dern played a scientist who was attractive but not sexualized, in this it's Bryce Dallas Howard, a neglectful ice…

This really might be the dumbest movie ever made.
Review by SilentDawn ★★★★ 10

Jurassic World, directed by Colin Trevorrow, took me completely by surprise. Both a massive expansion of the original seeds planted by Jurassic Park and a supremely entertaining summer ride, Jurassic World thrives on the grand ideas woven within the franchise's DNA. And just like the obligatory new dinosaur, Jurassic World looks and feels like a hybrid. The result is a film of unevenness and odd subplots, always ready to jump to another quip or in-your-face statement.

And yet, this summer blockbuster transcends it all. Once the shit hits the fan, Jurassic World is as immensely satisfying and FUCK YEAH spectacular than anything that I've seen in quite awhile. It all comes together into a dinosaur epic that works precisely because…

Review by MatureGambino ★★★★½

I like dinosaurs, fuck me right? And Chris Pratt, leaving out his possible political views. The movie would probably not have been as enjoyable for me without him, yeah. But I grew up with this shit and am still questioning hollywood as to why dinosaurs are not a thing to make a hundred high-budget movies with. Seriously what was even out there since Jurassic Park, the first time they looked like it justifies putting them in a movie. Well then the only thing they come up with is this one right here but hey, it is by far the best dinosaur movie in at least 14 years and I missed them.

a soulless husk compared to the original it borrows so much from.

meh
Review by Declan ½

There are so many things wrong with this movie.

-Annoying, paper thin cliche teen characters
-Cliche main characters (Chris Pratt is just doing his Burt Macklin impression the whole time)
-Less violent than the first one
-Less scary than the first one (when it gets up to the raptors at the end of the first one, it turns into a slasher film! This film lacks tension because the main characters are so terrible)

I truly hate this film. Haven't seen the sequel, but it's a joke this film survived without going the way of the dinosaurs with bad reviews.

Review by Courtney Small ★★

The excessive nature of the assistant’s death is simply ridiculous.
Review by jack ★★½

Hmm. What to think of this movie. Well, the dinosaurs have been updated and no longer look like outdated animatronics. At the same time, this movie is obviously a plastic cashgrab and Chris Pratt has to carry the movie on his massive shoulders. Its not terrible?
