Review of Jurassic World (2015) by Towelzz — 17 Jan 2016

I really don't understand the hype with this film. The only reason this movie was half way decent was because the dinosaur action sequences were mildly entertaining and the overall message of the film was actually something interesting enough to think about. Everything else about this movie was terrible. The script was god-awful and full of flaws. The characters had no depth whatsoever and were completely static. There were so many unnecessary subplots that didn't add anything valuable to the story (e.g. the divorce of the parents, and the Pratt's character's romance with the Claire girl). Also, what was the purpose of the older brother constantly ogling at girls throughout the film? I know he's a teen and teens tend to do that but it didn't add ANYTHING to the film and is even more ridiculous considering the film shows at the beginning that he has a girlfriend.

At least the acting was half way decent. The last 10 minutes was the only thing entertaining. "Jurassic Park" is 10x the movie that this will ever be.
