Jurassic World
Directed By: Colin Trevorrow
The Story - Jurassic World feels like a more updated version of the 1992 Jurassic Park. Now i know this movie is a sequel of sorts, but you cant help but feel like you have seen it all before. The children aspect of the story is pretty similar, the ending is pretty similar, and there is a scene of a dying Dinosaur out in the field which felt like more of the same. Now dont get me wrong, ime not saying this is a bad thing because Jurassic Park is one of my favourite movies out there, so taking a few ideas is all good. But what i am saying is that i thought this movie was more of a reboot than a sequel. I mean, you could probably start a whole new trilogy of the back of Jurassic World.
The Cast - are all great. Chris Pratt brings some humour to the film which was a nice touch. His relationship with the velociraptors was also a nice spin on the movie aswell. Bryce Dallas Howard was also a pretty interesting character, and damn fu***** hot
. To be honest the whole cast where great, and a big improvemt on the other Jurassic Park movies. Because as much as a love the other movies in the franchise (minus number 3) - ive always felt the cast where pretty dull and very wooden. So it was nice to see some up beat characters in Jurassic World.
Movie Highlight - My movie highlight has to be when we arrive at the park. You really get the feeling like your along for the ride. And from the moment the huge gates opens and the soundtrack kicks in - your childhood comes rushing back. Its such a great scene and really kicks starts the excitement. The park looks fantastic and they really capture the theme park enviroment brilliantly. Everything from the safari tour, to the feeding time at the Mosasaurus tank looks amazing.
Things i liked:
-Again the park looked incredible.
- The Indominus Rex was great. I really loved the mystery surrounding the Dinosaur. I loved how brutal it was and i liked how we never really knew about how it was made, or from what it was made of until near the end of the movie.
- The Ending was awesome. I really loved the final showdown with the T-Rex and The Indominus Rex. It was so intense and exciting and it was great seeing these Dinosaurs battling it out.
- Refferences to Jurassic Park was also a really nice touch.
Overall- Jurassic World was fantastic. Its easily my favourite Jurassic Park movie and it deserves every bit of praise its receiving. Its exciting, intense, and its as entertining as you can get. Really great movie.

Movie Trivia: The Jeep that was repaired by Zach and Gray is numbered "29", which is exactly the same number as the tourist Jeep that John Hammond rode in the beginning of Jurassic Park (1993).
Jeff Goldblum's character Dr. Ian Malcolm can be spotted on the cover of a book that is read by Zara (Katie McGrath) on the monorail ride in to the park. A copy of the same book is later shown on Lowery's (Jake Johnson's) desk in the control room when he is first introduced.
This is the first film in the series not to feature any appearance by Sam Neill, Laura Dern or Jeff Goldblum. This was a creative decision by Colin Trevorrow: "I know a lot of fans want to see the original characters back. They're iconic. But I respect those actors too much to shoehorn them into this story for my own sentimental reasons. Jurassic Park isn't about the bad luck of three people who keep getting thrown into the same situation. The only reason they'd go back to that island is if the screenwriters contrived a reason for them to go."
