Jurassic World






Cast: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard(Claire), Nick Robinson(Zach), Ty Simpkins(Gray), Vincent D'Onofrio(Vic), Irrfan Khan, B.D. Wong(Dr, Henry Wu) and Jake Johnson(Lowery-Operator)
Director: Colin Trevorrow
Genre: Sci-Fi, Adventure, Action, Thriller




Certainly better than the many Godzillas and Jurassic series, but even with all the advanced technologies, it cannot beat the original 'Jurassic Park'




You may look forward to:
  • Jurassic Park equivalent sets, modern machines and dinosaurs :) Some additions works beautifully for this movie, like that of water based park for dinosaurs. It is a pleasure watching the first half of the movie
  • Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard do a good job. Mostly it is a Chris Pratt movie and he gives you some decent action :)



What you can sleep over:
  • Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins, have nothing much to do other than fooling around. Situational problems are understood, but stupidity is the old fashion of building a plot for a thriller flick. Specially for Ty Simpkins, remember him from 'Iron Man 3'? He has potential to do much better than just acting like a kid
  • Vincent D'Onofrio, Irrfan Khan, B.D. Wong and Jake Johnson have miniature roles in the movie. They come and go without much of any significance



The dampeners you should be aware of:
  • Storyline is not as cool. Creating hybrids without testing? Seriously? Who is as negligent to play with critical animal of highest priority like dinosaurs, lest a park which is open for human tourists! Next, you see that the raptors can be trained. Ok. but do the director show how he manages to do so? No, just accept it as Chris Pratt gives a sample demonstration in his entry scene  :) Not very convincing!! And then by the climax, you have one apparently good dinosaur fighting with the evil dinosaur! And this was it for me. Nothing more to watch
  • The excitement, the thrill, the foot in the mouth moments in original Jurassic Park is largely missing in this one. There are some crazy encounters, but nothing very threatening
  • The variety of dinosaurs or be it the number of scenes catching the glimpses of the beauty of these magnificent creatures isn't covered as wonderfully as in the original. Even before the fascination sinks in that you have come to watch THE JURASSIC WORLD and explore a new world, chaos begins in the story pre maturely
  • 3D is not worth it. Could have been much better. You expect quality 3D projections in fantasy movies like these. But alas! Mediocre quality is all you get




My Rating: 3/5

1- Poor  2-Average  3-Good  4-Very Good  5- Outstanding
