Reviews & Ratings for
Jurassic World (2015)

If it were ever possible, I'd find someone with an actual working time machine, go back in time to when they announced the director of Jurassic World and ring up Colin Trevorrow to warn him about what will happen to Marc Webb and reconsider his directorial duties.

Success not guaranteed.

Jurassic World is a film directed by Colin Trevorrow. Initially, I had no interest in seeing this film. I thought basically its just dinosaurs running here and there. But I watched the first film again. I became a fan of it. I skipped the next 2 (basically because of its reviews). I watched this. And I was overjoyed.

Plot: When an Indominous Rex gets out of hand in the newly built Jurassic World, its upto the authorities to get a control on the species.

Story and direction: Now I went into this film knowing that it couldn't be in level with the first part. That was ultimate. But I was expecting a decent film. And yes, I got that. The VFX and camera work both are good. The dinosaurs looked a little 'faked' at times although the character designs for the dinosaurs were great. Hey, but that's just me. The film actually takes a little time to start, about 20 minutes. But after that, it was bang on. I liked the entry to Owen's character. He showed that there is a great promise to this franchise. The story was basically here and there. There were subplots that were kind of distracting me. The kids were kind of unnecessary. It felt as if they were recreating the first that also had two kids!!!! And using raptors as military weapons!!! That was atrocious. Here that was not even necessary. The climatic battle between the dinosaurs was a visual treat to the eyes.

Performances: Chris Pratt proved that he can do roles other than the Star Lord. Bryce Dallas was also great. Vincent D'Onofrio was good as the semi-villain (although the part was not needed). The kids were also fantastic in their roles. Irrfan Khan again proved that why I loved him. B D Wong was OK.

Favorite Scene: I guess it would be the scene after Chris Pratt's entry. The communication and bond that was shown between the dinos and humans was phenomenal. I hoped that this theme would have been further explored in the film.

Verdict: Jurassic World is actually a good film. It has some flaws but it is watchable. Definitely not better than the original. Can't actually wait for Fallen Kingdom to come.

I am giving it an 8/10.

The above article amuses me no end!

So we went as a family to see Jurassic World on 3D IMAX last night.

It was good for a sequel, and I loved Chris Pratt. Maybe a three star. It needed Jeff Goldblum's Dr. Malcolm in the worst way. Jake Johnson was sort of that character (and the bit where he is wearing an old Jurassic Park t-shirt he found on ebay is pretty funny.)

What I LOVED was Irrfan Khan's part, and I'm absolutely sure I was the only one in the theater super excited when he came on screen. He plays the very wealthy corporate owner of the park, and Bryce Dallas Howard runs the park, and is super nervous about Irrfan's visit. I thought he would be the villain, and he's not. He just has a childlike joy about the park, and he's learning to pilot a helicopter (very unsteadily to Bryce's terror).

He looks damn fine in his very tailored suit, too.

Jurassic World' is a film that critiques its own mission. It is aware that moviegoers, awash in blockbusters and computer-generated movie 'magic,' are increasingly hard to awe.

This movie will quench your 14 years of thirst for a Jurassic Park film. I wouldn't say it is the best movie of the franchise but it does well to capture your imagination. There's something new in this movie which wasn't tried in the previous movies, the dinosaur-human interaction. Chris Pratt plays Owen Grady who trains and researches the behaviors of the park's Velociraptor pack which consists of Blue, Charlie, Delta, and Echo. Chris Pratt provides the kickass quotient to the movie like riding with the raptors. The movie is sprinkled with thrills but not as much as the first movie which might disappoint few passionate viewers. The visual effects were top notch along with some awesome cinematography. After watching move the Jurassic world will be stuck in your mind and you'll be humming for one while week. On the whole it was a fun to see Dinosaurs come to life again.
