a review of 侏罗纪世界

Given how long it's been since we've last had a Jurassic Park movie this just wouldn't have been a good sequel without at least a few nods to the original. Thankfully this movie has them in spades. The music in particular is a real treat that will bring back some fond memories. That's not to say though that your enjoyment of this film will hinge upon how much nostalgia you have for the original. This is a sequel that manages to do it's own unique thing for the series while simultaneously reminding us why we fell in love with the 1993 hit. The spectacle has been raised in order to keep up with the times. Moments are meant to keep your jaw on the floor and it mostly succeeds. We get some great kills and a heck of a lot of fun. The biggest and probably most successful new inclusion to the series formula is the addition of more humor. There are quite a few funny moments scattered throughout that are admittedly cheesy, but will still bring laughs. Some people will criticize the inclusion of these moments as just as a way to make the movie more enjoyable to a wider audience. As far as I'm concerned it's just more fun added to the mix. Some people just can't have fun at the movies anymore. One thing that isn't quite up to snuff are our two lead adult characters and their romance. Pratt and Howard are cast as generic character types. She's the working stiff and he's the guy who everyone should have listened to because he told them how it was all going to go wrong. It's stereotypical and we've seen it all before, only it was more fleshed out then. But hey we do get some humorous jokes as a result and certain viewers are going to eat up the kiss scene. While they don't quite hold up as fleshed out characters you still can't help but root for them when the dino crap hits the fan. The other characters feel more fleshed out and are more enjoyable as a result. Now enough about the people. Let's talk about the dinosaurs. Well it's safe to say that any dino fanatic is going to be in heaven. There are plenty of different dinosaurs and they all look great, even if they don't look as real as the ones in the 1993 original. A movie with visuals that still hold up today. "World" even gives people a hybrid dinosaur (central part of the plot) to obsess over. Even better is that it takes these great looking dinosaurs and puts them in scenes with huge spectacle and excitement. Watching a human and dino come face to face is just as tense and enjoyable as ever. "Jurassic World" is a heck of a lot of fun. A worthy new sequel for the series. One that invigorates it with new ideas and opens it up for more just when it looked like it was extinct. In my opinion it is the best of the sequels and sits just under the first Jurassic Park as the best dinosaur movie out there. I had a blast watching this and I can't wait to do it again.
