With
the Jurassic Park trilogy of movie reviews done its time to do a quick review
of Jurassic World which is the fourth movie in the Jurassic franchise. For
those that don't know yet I'm doing a review of all the Jurassic films that
came before Jurassic World the Fallen Kingdom. Jurassic World came out in 2015
and continues around 20 years or so after the first movie.
The
film stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dellas Howard in the main roles. Some of the
characters from the previous movie appears in this film but are portrayed by a
different actor sadly.
The
plot of Jurassic World is pretty much what Jurassic Park sets up to be and that
is a theme park with real dinosaurs. But to attract more tourist and visitors
they created a hybrid dinosaur which eventually escapes its cage and goes out
on a killing rampage.
The
movie does starts out slow but speeds up when the new hybrid dinosaur is first
shown in its cage. I do so love how they handled this new hydrid dinosaurs
ability and how it factors in on how it escapes and hunts throughout the film. Kind
of wished they explored them more but the film is already 2 hours long.
For
character aspect Chris Pratt nails this one good. I was worried he would feel
like Starlord in the film but I'm glad he isn't. He is charming and likable in a
different way in this film. That being said the scenes with the kids is
probably one of the low parts of the film but I guess this films need to have
that scene for the kids to relate to but I kind of wished they did it better.
Cinematography
was great and I love how they handled this new hybrid dinosaurs abilities and
how it plays into the plot and of how dangerous this new creature is. Halfway
part of the movie up to the third final act is one of my favorite parts of the
film. The last thirty minutes got nearly everything I love about the Jurassic
franchise.
The
effects was good but not perfect since there are some shots where you can tell
that they are just staring out into space instead of staring into this creature.
You won't really notice it much unless you're actually looking at how the
effects are shown but that's a small flaw I guess to an otherwise great visual film.
And they used the original score from the first film too.
A
whole the movie is enjoyable and good despite the flaws I mentioned and certain
sub plots that weren't really explored. Some scenes are better left removed or done
better. Pratt could just go on rescuing a bunch random tourist here and there and
the movie could still work I think. Still a good movie and I'd easily recommend
to fans of Jurassic series and dinosaurs.
