Review of Jurassic World (2015) by Steviegjd — 13 Jun 2015
There is a difference between a good looking movie and a good movie. The original Jurassic Park changed the way movie were made, technologically speaking. Some would say that change was for the worse.
I am actually a big fan of action/sci-fi films so I appreciate the original film's marriage of live action and cgi. I was hoping for this new movie to be great. It just is not that good. The dinosaurs look great and their integration with the actors and their surroundings is impressive.
What lets this movie down is the story and the characters. The story is ludicrous, not that getting live dinosaurs out of fossils is believable. But the notion that these people never learn just keeps coming up.
With all the amazing technology that exists in this movie world, the stupid mistakes and misjudgments that the decision makers in the story continually make are just mind numbing. It's actually pretty insulting.
The writing is so bad that I couldn't help but inappropriately laugh a number of times. It is pretty clear this is an attempt at rebooting this franchise, which I'm sure will work, as people are just not that discriminating.
But it is a shame that this script could not have been better.
