Review of Jurassic World (2015) by Blakedicksuit — 29 Jun 2015
Being a lover of the first film, and being an actual paleontologist, I prepared myself beforehand with a pitcher of beer - thinking my expectations were reasonably set. Sadly they weren't low enough. Every Hollywood trope was brought in in as the film progressed from one plug-n-play scene to the next: "insert moody teenager", "insert brotherly bonding moment" etc.
All but a few characters are actually likable, Chris Pratt's being one. The rest only frustrated me as being unoriginal cliches, about as relateable as a pack of soggy chips. I could only scream internally as each character flopped around on screen while Chris Pratt saved the day.
The only reason this didn't get a zero was for the 5 minute dino-on-dino climax of the film which was so ridiculous and over the top, it was almost worth sitting through the whole train wreck that was this film.
Maybe a re-cut of just Chris Pratt and his Raptor bros fighting dinosaurs will happen one day, and it will be a cinematic masterpiece.
