"Jurassic World" - Review



"Jurassic World" is an extension of the "Jurassic Park" trilogy from back in the 90's. This movie picks up years after the "Jurassic Park" killings happened, and now they've come even further in dinosaur evolution. The first film, released in 1993, scientists were able to create dinosaurs using blood found in a mosquito that was frozen in sap for centuries. They caged the dinosaurs and made a theme park out of it so people could come see real dinosaurs. This new movie is basically the same thing, even the dinosaur theme-park is located on the same island as"Jurassic Park" (They just re-built it).

Now, paleontologists can just create dinosaurs using gene splicing and crossing their DNA with other dinosaurs or reptiles to create new species of dinosaurs. Unfortunately, they make something that's not quite a dinosaur... it looks like a regular T-Rex, but it's actually much smarter and stronger. It's called an "Endominous Rex", and of course, it escapes and runs loose on the island, killing other dinosaurs while two young, spoiled brothers are exploring the island alone and unaware that there is a dinosaur loose. It's not before long that the brothers end up in dangerous situations.

Chris Pratt is the main character and he plays a "raptor trainer" at the theme park (which is ridiculous). Somehow, he is the lead character and has to go save the brothers using his 'dinosaur-expertise'. There's not a lot of gore and killings in this installment, it seems better suited for younger kids.The graphics are phenomenal, but it's a PG movie... I seem to remember a lot more dinosaur attacks and people getting bitten in half and eaten alive in the "Jurassic Park" trilogy. Those films seemed so real and scary to me at the time, so perhaps this new movie is just as scary & intense for kids of this generation. Overall, I give "Jurassic World" a  6 /10
