Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park (1993), Isla Nublar now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, as originally envisioned by John Hammond. After 10 years of operation and visitor rates declining, in order to fulfill a corporate mandate, a new attraction is created to re-spark visitor's interest, which backfires horribly.

I like how the entire Jurassic World is referring to the good old Jurassic Park. It’s not hiding the reference and it’s not attempting to be just another embarrassing remake. On the contrary, it expands the entire dinosaur world and that’s actually quite a good thing. And even though the main plotline is about an over-grown and mutated dinosaur, which actually isn’t too great a premise to build a movie on, it still watches pretty well. The authors did a great job in terms of casting. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are exactly the reason why I really enjoyed the movie. Chris Pratt plays his standard cool dude who looks like he just crawled out of the jungle and who can communicate with every mammal on the planet, and Bryce Dallas Howard is so beautiful here that I will keep dreaming about her fringe for several months to come.

A very pleasant surprise and the best sequel to Jurassic Park so far. Trevorrow takes a sensitive approach and present Hammond’s original vision and the whole spiel about raising profits works just great. With the kids’ storyline (much less annoying than you might think) for a classic family feeling. And also taming the raptors that made it onto the poster. Chris "Starlord" Pratt returned to his role from Zero Dark Thirty and his marine/medic is a very good central figure for the whole story with the anticipated involvement of B. D. Howard, who shakes off her corporate shell maybe too quickly. They could have left out her running in high-heels. The dinosaur scenes are not as terrifying as before and its meant to be pure blockbuster entertainment for all age groups. The megafights between species to find a master of the dinosaurs is a pleasure to watch. Effects are mostly fine, but are sometimes spoiled by minor details that a bit more work could have put right. Even so, I enjoyed Jurassic World incredibly and it’s one of those movies that I look forward to watch again some time. Not just a few selected scenes, but all in all good, clean fun. P.S.: Williams’ theme presented by Giacchino still works well.

A perfect contemporary studio film, pitch-perfectly refined to fit almost everyone's taste. The stars have "just the right" luminosity, Spielberg behind their backs, special effects artists at work, and a scripted cocktail of everything a family wants to experience on a trip to the movies. The studios will fight over Trevorrow now because we rarely see such pure craft. The unfortunate thing is that it doesn't give anything for free. Therefore, especially in terms of tension, it's pretty instant, without anything really substantial, like "climbing over a high-tension fence" or "raptors in the kitchen," which still affects me after more than twenty years and can refer to someone who has something in their head besides craft. [Btw: Chris Pratt is likable, no question about it, but his position is more so iconic, pushed by an army of e-fans. When he really carries an entire film, let him have the whip and the hat.]

Jurassic World made me about as happy as a child opening a Christmas present. Jurassic World is a brilliantly conceived blockbuster (beautiful attractions), I wish I could visit a similar park. The dinosaurs are palpably and vividly rendered and the intelligent Indominus Rex perhaps the biggest bad ass creature in film ever, its intelligence in particular was breathtaking to watch (camouflage, sensor obfuscation, GPS removal). Chris Pratt really is the new Harrison Ford, a proper hero and the role of Indiana Jones will suit him very well. I also praise the very solid pacing, the perfect finale that takes your breath away, the rather gnarly deaths for a PG-13 movie, and the great paced suspense with working empathy. Anyone who doesn't enjoy this film has no heart, can't have fun, and should give up movies for good. 100%

A dinosaur movie that you don't have to think about; if you happen to do so, you'll find it has a lot of plotholes. If you dwell on them, it becomes a pretty annoying movie; but if you get over yourself and think of it as just a children's story, you'll eventually find that it's not so bad after all. It's simply an homage to the original film by a fan who has added such typical fare to his homage as "I hate you, but I'll look at your tonsils for you", "I can handle the soldiers, but I let the kids get away", "look for the green and power-clouded brain behind all the trouble", "a loyal dog won't leave you". Just a popcorn movie with nice effects. It's got a twist here and there, and it ends with great conscientiousness. For kids of all ages. A better 3 stars.
