The Park is Open
This Action/Adventure epic is Directed by John Trevorrow. It starts 22 years on from the original film. We are transported back to Isla Nublar, which now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park as originally envisioned by John Hammond. This park named Jurassic World has been open for 10 years and slowly had a decline in profits as people are no longer wowed by seeing a Dinosaur. As we would expect, Ingen is never far away and brings in a mandate to boost profits and re invigorate visitors.
We follow Zach and Grey played by Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson, who are nephews to Claire played by Bryce Dallas Howard (The village and The Help). They all play there roles well throughout, but the stand out performance here is Chris Pratt as Owen he is our Robert Muldoon from the Original movie (played by Bob Peck). He covers all the requirements of his role and stands out throughout which based on some of his scenes cant have been easy. The best character in this epic though is the quartet of Raptors. Blue, Charlie, Delta and Echo are a class act and by far the best of the prehistoric bunch.
I also appreciated Jake Johnson's role as Lowery from his T shirt and plastic dinosaurs to his one liners and attempts a chivalry. Which brings me nicely on to the respect given to the original film. We get little mementos throughout, some more subtle then others. I really felt this was fitting as I couldn't help but feel a little sad knowing Richard Attenborourgh would never see this movie.
Now for the bad news, the plot is a little weak and there is one moment that I couldn't help thinking "why bother with this bit".
On the whole though I really enjoyed this Dinosaur extravaganza and for a change felt it was fitting to watch in 3D.
I give Jurassic World a solid 8 out of 10
