Review of Jurassic World (2015) by Regn752 — 12 Jun 2015

Don't expect anything like the original. This movie has been toned down for all audiences, you never see any gore or dismemberment.

The dinosaurs are no longer frighteningly fierce predators with killer instinct, but instead are now cute misunderstood animals with emotions. I can't say I like the CGI dinosaurs much, the animatronics look way better and more realistic. There's a few Jurassic Park references here and there. They don't have any purpose of being there except for very slight nostalgia but the characters don't even acknowledge it. It makes me wonder why they even bothered putting it in at all.

There is also alot of product placement, it's pretty noticeable such as drinking coke, getting into a car with the Mercedes logo shown nice and close, the kid naming the exact make and model of a jeep, logo on headphones, various background stores such as pandora etc.

The characters are fairly underdeveloped and generic. They force some brother sentiment a couple of times between Zach and Gray, and the relationship between Claire and Owen is predictable and pointless.

Overall, wasn't all that bad. The movie does keep you entertained despite lacking originality. I probably wouldn't watch it again and will probably forget about it's existence soon. Jurassic park is just a victim like so many classic movies which Hollywood is remaking and making tonnes of money off the name, despite the remake being ordinary and forgettable.
