Review of Jurassic World (2015) by Bradysmith — 30 Jun 2015
Functional as light entertainment, with some scary scenes and a few interesting new twists, but not anywhere near as exhilarating or intelligently put together as the original Jurassic Park, this has to be seen as a disappointment.
The indominus rex is probably the best thing about this movie and is the cause of almost all the scenes that work. So much of the script however feels like it was written by ten year olds that you're consistently taken out of the experience.
(The raptors for the military sub-plot is absolutely ridiculous.) There's no sort of dramatic depth to be found anywhere and the actors are all playing pretty flat characters. This movie has the assembly line produced feel to its core.
The original Jurassic Park felt like something that craft went into, a movie designed to leave an impression. It also seemed to take place in a more realistic, less goofy cinematic universe. Here you're kept entertained enough but you never really get the sense that there's any more reason to this movie than to grab people's cash.
And half of the special effects aren't even very impressive. It's an average, generic blockbuster through and through.
