Review of Jurassic World (2015) by Eronsit — 14 Jun 2015
Jurassic World offers plenty of spectacle and action, but little in the way of compelling characters or engaging plot. Hollow characters and absurd story logic—even for a summer blockbuster—cripple a visually dazzling film. Chris Pratt plays an military vet that works training velociraptors, but no explanation is given about why he's qualified to train dinosaurs or why his expression seems to be frozen throughout the film. Bryce Dallas Howard plays the park's executive—the only notable female character in the film—and falls victim to half-joking gender clichés in most scenes.
When things invariably go wrong, the situation is propelled by actions that can only be described as unbelievably stupid. Disbelief can be suspended about the creation of a theme park with live dinosaurs. But the story loses all cohesion when that park seems to be completely unprepared for a dinosaur running amok, a potential emergency that's blindingly obvious to everyone except the film's key characters.
Save yourself $10 and watch the original again.
