Plot Summary

Twenty-two years ago, John Hammond had envisioned a theme park where guests could see actual dinosaurs as they could experience them.

Today, a new theme park in Isla Nublar called Jurassic World is open for business. When a team of scientists creates a new kind of dinosaur to increase public interest, not everyone agrees it's a good idea. Owen, who works at the theme park, soon finds out that his scepticisms were right when

all hell breaks loose. Owen

and Claire must set out to

restore order and evacuate

the park as thousands of

visitors get hurt or eaten

in this catastrophe.

Review

I have thoughts about seeing JURASSIC WORLD after it comes out in theatres. I hope this new instalment is better than the last movie, which I'll get on to for some time. Here comes JURASSIC WORLD, and it has never been so terrifying and fun to the people who have seen all three of the features. This new chapter wasn't as subtle and entertaining as others would say. The visuals were more complex than the originals. I was relieved the plot had a new twist similar to the original Jurassic Park. It provided more terror, and this shocked the audience. I liked the direction by Colin Trevorrow after Joe Johnston got booted out of the franchise. Trevorrow gives this film the edginess that Steven Spielberg couldn't do.

I praise the ensemble team of actors, including Chris Pratt. He had been fresh from the success of last year's films, such as providing the voice of Emmet in The LEGO Movie and is Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy. He succeeds on his own, better than the original actors, such as Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum, who failed to show up as either supporting characters or having cameo appearances in this new blockbuster.

While this sequel doesn't regain the acclaim shown in the first instalment, it is a solid popcorn movie that seems to have everyone frenzied by its entertainment. Be sure you watch all the classics before you see this one.

Star rating: (7/10) Good Movie
