Giant theropod dinosaurs from Asia and North America: I wouldn't recommend wasting Easily the worst film I have seen this year and the biggest disappointment at that.

I wouldn't recommend wasting two hours of your life with this garbage. The park is open, and with it comes a great and entertaining adventure, with Chris Pratt as the charismatic Owen, a velociraptor trainer, and Bryce Dallas-Howard as the always-busy Claire. Along with two child actors, Chris and Bryce face a huge danger, and it isn't the not-inspired Indominus Rex, who broke free from his cage and unleashed chaos on Jurassic World. The real danger here are the plot holes, the stupid moments and the visual effects, who seems incredibly dated when compared to the original Jurassic Park yes, from ' With nothing more to it, make a popcorn, drink your beverage and turn your brain off to enjoy the movie.

SquintyReviews Sep 18, Other then an epic boss battle and an earlier eating of park goers, this film was lackluster at best with one dimensional characters, and a "meh" on the special effects score. OzzieViking Oct 8, The movie does seem slightly crappy at first, but it climaxes to a better ending than the 3rd one. But the storyline seems recycled, some love-happy kid and his annoying brother go to a park, the kid rebels and gets them both into trouble, The movie does seem slightly crappy at first, but it climaxes to a better ending than the 3rd one.

But the storyline seems recycled, some love-happy kid and his annoying brother go to a park, the kid rebels and gets them both into trouble, some official has to save them and gets killed in the process and some low life goes to save them and succeeds and gets with the relative of the two. Where have I seen that before? But the movie is decent and watchable. There are some spoilers in this review!

If you are in a critical situation where you nephews are in danger, you don't waste time seeing a dinosaur die, you want to save your family! The acting was awful, and the part of two There are some spoilers in this review! The acting was awful, and the part of two different wild animals from the past join forces to defeat another is so dumb!

I know it is a movie for kids but come on, our children aren't stupid. The dialog and the plot are terrible also. Theres only one thing that I liked, the special effects, aren't the best but were decent. That's all, if you want to waste 3 hours of your life, go and see this movie. DanielwWhite Nov 27, This movie is exactly what everyone thought it would be. Awesome graphics and animations of dinosaurs with huge explosions. Chris pratt does a great job but the story line has a lot of holes and is very vanilla. No idea why this film was so popular at it's release, the film is mediocre at best.

Trying to ride off both Chris Pratt hype and nostalgia, but failing on a logical stand point as well as enjoyment. It's a stupid film, not in the sense of a No idea why this film was so popular at it's release, the film is mediocre at best. It's a stupid film, not in the sense of a 10 year old throwing insults but in the sense of the literal definition. I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch this film. AWasserman Dec 20, I am not a big fan of the Jurassic franchise so I had 0 expectations going into this movie.

Maybe that's why the let down didn't bother me. The movie had it's moments of fun and had it's moments of boredom and rehash. There was not a single I am not a big fan of the Jurassic franchise so I had 0 expectations going into this movie. There was not a single likable character in this movie. I am sorry Chris Pratt fans, I didn't give a crap for his performance, it was fine but nothing special or notable. The plot and script could have used a ton of work, it was full of plot convinces just so the movie could happen.

Count me out for the next Jurassic movie because we all know it's going to happen, but the next one, like this one, will be nothing more than a cash grab. MD Jan 1, Jurassic World is a copy and paste film of Jurrasic Park. But Jurrasic Park had a original story. This train wreck takes place years after Jurassic Park and no one learned anything from the destruction or character traits from dinosaurs Jurassic World is a copy and paste film of Jurrasic Park. This train wreck takes place years after Jurassic Park and no one learned anything from the destruction or character traits from dinosaurs.

Whenever anyone see a movie with dinosaurs , that are free to roam around on an island , and there are not any form of high tech military weaponry or machinery , you will witness one of the worst films ever made. Armag3dd0n Feb 25, Its like those scientists are saying: No living creature on earth would ever even think about modify the dinosaur. AaronWasserman1 Mar 26, To start, I am not a Jurassic Park person, I saw the first movie years ago and meh it was ok. I had no expectations going into this movie, and it was meh as well.

Pratt and Howard give decent performances and the visuals are nice, but a very To start, I am not a Jurassic Park person, I saw the first movie years ago and meh it was ok. Pratt and Howard give decent performances and the visuals are nice, but a very redundant story that doesn't warrant its existance … Expand. InglouriousAndy May 19, Jurassic World is worse for dinosaurs than extinction was. I'd rather watch all the Transformers movies back to back than watch this again. A complete disaster of soullessness. BerC Jun 3, The artistic medium of film is very subjective.

Every audience member has a different set of criteria they use to measure their viewing experience. Not everyone shares the same set of criteria. If we did, what a bland and uninspired world this would be. I really enjoyed the performance of Bryce Dallas Howard. She's a consummate professional who gives us a fairly well rounded character and her interactions with Irrfan Khan as Masrani are priceless. Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins are also very good younger actors who involve themselves with their roles instead of allowing themselves to be dragged along for the ride.

We also get a small sense of wonder at the scope of the theme park through their eyes which we haven't really felt since Sam Neill and Laura Dern first stepped foot in the original park back in Another thing I really like is the fact that the makers of the film more honestly own up to the genetic differences between their engineered dinosaurs and the real deal from millions of years ago. A lovely summation delivered by BD Wong's character sees to that.

In the first half hour of this film, the writers seem to repeat themselves in their dialogue far too often. The same exposition feels like it's given on five or six different occasions and that is just a boring way to introduce your characters and set up your future angles. The first film let scenarios develop naturally and this fourth installment of the franchise would have done well to learn from its originator. Also, what is with Chris Pratt all of a sudden.

It seems like the guy came out of nowhere and is now the manufactured flavor of the decade. The mass market audience might eat him up but those who crave real acting skills will be left with hunger pangs. When his inevitable crash and burn from pretty boy front man happens, it is going to be painful to watch think Shia LaBeouf. Something else that really took me out of the film was the unnecessarily over-the-top death of Katie McGrath's character Zara.

Seriously, a more innocent role has never had a less deserving death than hers. Next time do the cinematic world a favor and kill off Pratt instead. Sadly, there are a few other over-the-top moments as well, but there is very little sustainable tension for a two-hour movie. There should be a constant threat to our leading men and women instead of just sporadic bursts of dino danger. It really undermines the urgency of their situation on the island.

Finally, the Indominus Rex itself takes center stage on my list of personal dislikes. This thing looks like a reject from the "Godzilla" atrocity when compared to the other beasts in this movie. All the build-up in the world couldn't stop the creature who was supposed to be the film's star attraction from being a hokey gimmick that limits the suspense value of key sequences.

When it first attacked the team carrying the non-lethal weaponry, it felt like a joke. You're supposed to make your audience scream in terror at an attack such as that one, not pee their pants from laughing so hard. The long-awaited cameo appearance from the Tyrannosaurus Rex at the finale of the film is an all-too brief blessing.

My Overall Impression of "Jurassic World": Between Chris Pratt and the Indominus Rex, there's just too much cheese on my burger. It makes it hard to taste the meat and really, the meat is what you're paying for. This sequel is the slightest of notches beneath "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" in terms of its level of enjoyment. The filmmakers should have been aiming much higher than that. Francisco Jun 24, If you like dinosaurs, this is the movie for you.

Once the action starts, it gets you pumped, and you feel genuinely terrified of the films main villian Indominus Rex. It has some pretty good acting, and the humor is not forced or in your face. The final battle is intense and well done. Elisabetcf Jun 8, Why did they make this film? Perhaps Ian Malcom said it best: You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, Why did they make this film? You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now Let me take you on a tour.

The first thing you'll notice in JW are cliche stock characters: Then you'll notice products. Coke, Mercedes Benz, Samsung; at one point a child points out that a vine covered vehicle is a " Jeep Wrangler Then, if you know anything about dinosaurs, you'll notice lots of mistakes. Like the mosasaurus being about 10 times bigger than it was in real life the original JP took some liberties to make the dinos darker in shade than they probably were, but this movie is off the rails.

Then you'll notice lots of logical inconsistencies. Like, after the Indominus Rex escapes, Bryce Dallas Howard's character is concerned that if they alert the crowd a dino is on the loose, the park will get closed. Are we supposed to believe that the resulting lawsuits from five peoples' deaths wouldn't shut the park down, anyway? Are we also supposed to believe that an ancient predator with a reptilian brain will just listen to Chris Pratt, because, reasons? Are we also supposed to believe that a military dude wants to steal raptors to use them in combat, even though they'd be unarmed and most wars are fought by drones, now, anyway?

Look, I didn't go into this movie with a bad outlook. I went into it hoping they might recapture some of the old magic. But this movie is all about loose plots with no emotional weight, big logical leaps, overdone product placement to the point you feel like you're watching a commercial, and to be completely honest, action scenes that are all special-effect with no exciting tension.

MadMac Oct 17, This film is garbage: Might find something usfeul and probably learn more too. FrankTCastle Nov 3, Has some fun moments but aside from the tamed raptors and experiment the movie is ultimately stroke for stroke a total rehash of JP with a larger crowd at the park. The cast do a passable job, there was some awkward moments between Owen Has some fun moments but aside from the tamed raptors and experiment the movie is ultimately stroke for stroke a total rehash of JP with a larger crowd at the park.

The cast do a passable job, there was some awkward moments between Owen and Claire that where cringe worthy and most of the comedy in my opinion just wasn't funny at all. Vincent D'Onofrio for what little screen time he had was the only stand out performance in the movie and did a great job of what he had to work with. Lingering question left from the movie, how does a US Navy seaman end up training Velociraptor in the first place???

I really wanted to like this movie I am sure you have read in the reviews some of the stupid nonsensical things that happen within this movie, so I will I really wanted to like this movie I am sure you have read in the reviews some of the stupid nonsensical things that happen within this movie, so I will just list a few other things I noticed that I havn't seen other people critisize yet. After the boys are safe again She personally takes them into the most dangerous situation currently on the island with the military men to go battle the A-rex!

She could have taken them or had someone take them somewhere much safer on the island, instead she risks their lives by bringing them along to battle the A-rex with a bunch of raptors. When the flying dinosaurs escape I am sure they were well fed The A-rex talks with the raptors and tells them to attack the humans? Are you kidding me?! In about 5 seconds time this A-rex is able to communicate and convince these raptors that he is the alpha male?! This is like saying that I can speak to apes or chimpanzees. Can the A-rex also talk to cuddlefish, snakes, and the other animals it was mad of?

This is so damn stupid It is obviously more part Trex than it is raptor. Another stupid line in regards to this PRatt says "now we know why they didnt tell us what this thing is made of There is seriously a line like "Imagine if we had these things in Tora Bora! I dont really need to go into depth on this one At the end the gigantic aquatic dinosaur jumps out of its enclosure and eat the A-rex! It lands on the ground where during normal hours guests would be walking! The designers of the park didnt realize this?!

The one time this aquatic behemoth breaks out of it confined space it just happens to eat the Arex instead of a person? These are just a few of the things that popped into my head. There are tons and tons of similarly retarded instances within this film. So many plot holes and nonsensical story moments I mean I thought the part in Lost World where the T-rex was able to eat everyone on a cargo ship was bad I really had higher hopes for this movie, especially after seeing the initial reviews.

It isnt horrible, there are some good parts. But all the plot holes, cliches, and just stupid moments really took me out of the experience I spent more time laughing at the nonsense in this movie than the actual few jokes. Alsmir Jun 19, What the hell did I watch? Alright, first few good things: Some scenes look really well. A bunch of decent action scenes. The movie is basically a collection of plot holes mixed with bad writing and desperate attempts to What the hell did I watch? The movie is basically a collection of plot holes mixed with bad writing and desperate attempts to appeal to broad audiences.

It's not even about the dinosaurs. We just have one super-pimped dino that kills everyone and then a final fight where it gets killed. It feels like watching Godzilla, but less enjoyable. It's just incredibly stupid. Chris Pratt, you better start appearing in some better movies. This is the second one, after Guardians of the Galaxy, that feels like only complete idiots could enjoy them.

Don't waste your time and money on that one. Too bad the dinosaurs didn't kill everybody Unfortunately the writers set the movie up for a sequel Please don't write another piece of crap like this! All this movie had going for it was the computer graphics. Worthless, lacking and meaningless character development. Disappointing and silly at times Then, All this movie had going for it was the computer graphics.

Then, there's the "bloodhound" scene, with macho man riding his motorcycle alongside his on-again-off again friends, the raptors on the hunt. Corny and a total formula flickI wanted to like this movie, but couldn't bring myself to do so. AlphaRidley Jun 21, I think I saw this movie back in It's a recycled movie. If you have seen the first one, you've seen all of them. They are all about Dinosaurs that break lose.

I hope we don't get another Being a huge Jurassic Park fan, I absolutely loved seeing the old visitor center make an appearance in the film. Yet, this movie just can't compare to the old ones. I found this movie way to predictable. It also didn't give me those jumpy Being a huge Jurassic Park fan, I absolutely loved seeing the old visitor center make an appearance in the film. It also didn't give me those jumpy moments like the old movies did.

Yes, it was cool to see the park come alive unlike the movies before, but it just didn't give me that Jurassic Park feel. I cant say I hated movie. I can't say I loved the movie. Overall, I have way to many mixed emotions about this film. It was not a film I had expected. The excitement was very little; the screenplay was awful, the 3D effects were not so strong.

The music was just tolerable. LegoTardis Jun 26, A great use of jaw-dropping special effects, yet the entire film was lacking in plot, character development and individuality.

I was quite surprised at how short the film lasted, and a bit disappointed at how weak it was in comparison to the other Jurassic Park movies.

I had really hoped that Jurassic World would be unique, however, without the several layers of amazing cgi action, there isn't much content otherwise. In summary, a perfect 'popcorn' blockbuster, bursting with scenes of truly brilliant animations and effects, which I've got to say, are stunning. Sadly, the depth of the storyline was less than amusing, and I will be looking optimistically forward to a better film in the future. Nonetheless, a proper summer hit! HairyTea Jun 24, If you like youtube videos of dinosaurs punching other dinosaurs in the face, this film may entertain you - if you can switch of your logical thinking so you don't go: After seeing it at XKCD, my expectations weren't high, but my friends wanted to go.

Treabormint Jun 30, Imagine the writers of Scooby Doo at work on a Jurassic Park film Well imagine no longer, as this is exactly what Jurassic World feels like. Stupid plots, awful characterisation, terrible humour and all finished off with the worst finale you will ever see. Save your money and wait for the DVD and even then, put your brain in neutral.

TheRazzy97 Aug 31, Un intento de repetir la primera que se quedo en intento. La de tonto que anda suelto Worst, is the perfect word for this movie. There is not a single good thing about this movie. From characters, casting, storyline and even special effects, nothing was astonishing accept the earth shattering business it generated.

I literally Worst, is the perfect word for this movie. I literally wanted to walk out of theatre 10 minutes from movie started because such lousy dialogues and cinematography made me bored already. There are dozens of loopholes where plot does not make any sense not to mention it hardly offers any thrill or discovery, which dinosaurs are all about. Since it could not develop the characters so it is easy to not expect a good depiction of the monsters.

If I had a chance, i would hang the director for ruining this Series for me. Towelzz Jan 17, I really don't understand the hype with this film. The only reason this movie was half way decent was because the dinosaur action sequences were mildly entertaining and the overall message of the film was actually something interesting enough I really don't understand the hype with this film.

The only reason this movie was half way decent was because the dinosaur action sequences were mildly entertaining and the overall message of the film was actually something interesting enough to think about. Everything else about this movie was terrible.

The script was god-awful and full of flaws. The characters had no depth whatsoever and were completely static. There were so many unnecessary subplots that didn't add anything valuable to the story e. Also, what was the purpose of the older brother constantly ogling at girls throughout the film? I know he's a teen and teens tend to do that but it didn't add ANYTHING to the film and is even more ridiculous considering the film shows at the beginning that he has a girlfriend.

At least the acting was half way decent. The last 10 minutes was the only thing entertaining. The originals were not great and suffered from some of the worst acting of the 90s Goldbloom is one of the worst of all time but they were better than this. Every character in this movie behaved like a high schooler with penis envy. It was The originals were not great and suffered from some of the worst acting of the 90s Goldbloom is one of the worst of all time but they were better than this. Frankly if this were real and humans especially scientists and such were this stupid, Id rather we go extinct and let the dinosaurs rule again.

Just avoid this movie, you are better off spinning yourself in a chair for entertainment. R7critical Jun 19, Mediocre monster movie set in a world where military veterans can't hit a 50 ft long target with a minigun and rocket blasts to said 50 ft target don't instantly turn it into crimson jelly. While the extensively used CG is probably Mediocre monster movie set in a world where military veterans can't hit a 50 ft long target with a minigun and rocket blasts to said 50 ft target don't instantly turn it into crimson jelly. While the extensively used CG is probably technically impressive and the film looks nice, there is no excuse for how stupid and creepy some of this film is.

Let's start with the creepy - the pterodactyl torture porn scene where the office assistant lady is picked up off the ground, dropped, caught in mid air, and then dunked in the water some times before being eaten by a giant aquatic dinosaur. There was no need for a drawn out death scene for a character who honestly didn't do anything wrong in the movie, this wasn't comeuppance for some evil act, this was just straight up torture fetish filth.

Even the big bad guy died in a covered up and nearly off-scene raptor attack.

No excuse for this. Okay let's get to the stupid, somehow supersaurus mega rex is able to cloak itself visually and from THERMAL cameras how would it even know those existed come the hell on and set a trap that fools a dinosaur trainer, it then gets stuck in the door of it's enclosure but rather than being choked out by the door closing mechanism, it manages to smash right through the reinforced concrete and metal gate that had been keeping it inside for how long with little to no effort? I really don't care how many cuttlefish or frogs you splice something with it will STILL go down to the power of pharmaceuticals.

They decided instead of scattering like idiot birds would normally do they would immediately head for the humans, how they instantly knew where they were miles away was uh, birdosaur magic radar I guess. Birdosaurs somehow flying AND lifting full grown adult humans into the air. Oh yeah, Birdosaurs seeking out and attacking a noisy helicopter firing a minigun full on, you cannot tell me those animals would not have fled from something making such scary noises. An island FULL of angry deadly dinosaurs and only one minigun and chopper, not even a combat chopper but a civilian chopper with a minigun mounted in the door.

Clearly we can't afford those with all these dinosaur holograms and genetic disasters we made. The aforementioned torture porn scene with the office lady also qualifies for stupid. How many super powers does killosaurus drecks have so far? The raptors put aside their betrayal and help their daddy human man to fight the big bad supersaurus, who beats all four into the dirt while being peppered with rifle rounds by their trainer. Then after the giant crocodile thing eats the super killosaurus for the final blow, the T-rex and raptor exchange nods of approval and bugger off into the night.

The storm, Nedry's computer virus, ALL of the dinosaurs getting loose at the same time, the park wasn't even complete or open or fully staffed. In this movie the park has been successful for something like seven years, but this ONE dinosaur they somehow gave superpowers to through the magic of cuttlefish and frog genes totally ruins everything.

StevieGJD Jun 14, There is a difference between a good looking movie and a good movie. The original Jurassic Park changed the way movie were made, technologically speaking. Some would say that change was for the worse. I am actually a big fan of There is a difference between a good looking movie and a good movie. I was hoping for this new movie to be great. It just is not that good. The dinosaurs look great and their integration with the actors and their surroundings is impressive. What lets this movie down is the story and the characters.

The story is ludicrous, not that getting live dinosaurs out of fossils is believable. But the notion that these people never learn just keeps coming up. With all the amazing technology that exists in this movie world, the stupid mistakes and misjudgments that the decision makers in the story continually make are just mind numbing. It's actually pretty insulting. The writing is so bad that I couldn't help but inappropriately laugh a number of times. It is pretty clear this is an attempt at rebooting this franchise, which I'm sure will work, as people are just not that discriminating.

But it is a shame that this script could not have been better. Okay while watching it, quite stupid when thinking about it and talking about the movies missteps with friends afterwards. It's basically Universal Studios doing a re-boot trilogy thingy with a nostalgic Jurassic World was It's basically Universal Studios doing a re-boot trilogy thingy with a nostalgic Millennials movie franchise. In I took my younger sister to see JP when she was 8 years old. Even though 22 years later we both still know that the original is still the best, and that all of the sequels including this one are pretty meh.

It's got product placement up the yin-yang from every nook and cranny. I laughed several times at the "unintentional comedy" via bits of dialogue and paper thin performances that were very, VERY dumb. You can also tell the age range of commenters with what they perceive as "deep or interesting" character wise simply from the limited knowledge within their posts. A whole generation raised on Bayformer eye candy crap with weak script writing But I call it like I see it.

Jurassic World is just another pure cash grab action sequel, like the much hated Jurassic Park 3 was, and nothing was advanced for this same story told 4 times over now. If you listen to Colin Trevorrow's interview with the Schmoes Know Movies crew, he even admits that the movie had to hit certain studio influenced beats while in production, and that's lame. So to me, the bar should have been set at making a movie as good as JP ' Not settling for the usual "Include kids because kids need to relate, include military and a divorce story because domestic audiences are familiar with these tropes, redo the final battle of JP '93 but add more beasties because more equal better" etc.

I did a re-watch of all three JP films and I gotta say that the visual FX in Jurassic World, in , are really not that special compared to it's first two cousins. After thinking about the movie, a proper poster tagline for this flick should have read: Regn Jun 13, Don't expect anything like the original. This movie has been toned down for all audiences, you never see any gore or dismemberment. The dinosaurs are no longer frighteningly fierce predators with killer instinct, but instead are now cute Don't expect anything like the original. The dinosaurs are no longer frighteningly fierce predators with killer instinct, but instead are now cute misunderstood animals with emotions.

I can't say I like the CGI dinosaurs much, the animatronics look way better and more realistic. There's a few Jurassic Park references here and there. They don't have any purpose of being there except for very slight nostalgia but the characters don't even acknowledge it. It makes me wonder why they even bothered putting it in at all. There is also alot of product placement, it's pretty noticeable such as drinking coke, getting into a car with the Mercedes logo shown nice and close, the kid naming the exact make and model of a jeep, logo on headphones, various background stores such as pandora etc.

The characters are fairly underdeveloped and generic. They force some brother sentiment a couple of times between Zach and Gray, and the relationship between Claire and Owen is predictable and pointless. Overall, wasn't all that bad. The movie does keep you entertained despite lacking originality. I probably wouldn't watch it again and will probably forget about it's existence soon. Jurassic park is just a victim like so many classic movies which Hollywood is remaking and making tonnes of money off the name, despite the remake being ordinary and forgettable.

Jurassic World is a moderately entertaining retread of the ideas of the original Jurassic Park clearly intended to pinch the nostalgia nerve of JP fans; for everyone else, its a bit of a mystery what the appeal is. JW features a script with a Jurassic World is a moderately entertaining retread of the ideas of the original Jurassic Park clearly intended to pinch the nostalgia nerve of JP fans; for everyone else, its a bit of a mystery what the appeal is. JW features a script with a lot of wooden dialogue, several subplots that seem to go nowhere except perhaps serving as sequel bait , bland but functional direction and cinematography, hit and miss CGI, and generally across the board average to hammy performances from the cast.

Only an appealing turn from Chris Pratt as Owen saves the movie from descending into total tedium.

Steam Community :: ARK: Survival Evolved

Who knew a movie full of rampaging dinosaurs could be dull? Turns out, it can. Chris Pratt is a fantastic actor. That said, Jurassic World had some of the worst acting I have ever seen. Terrible, terrible, terrible, acting. But, the inane dialogue and cheap jokes overshadow the amazing visuals. Agdune Jun 16, I'm certainly of mixed opinion on this one. With a messy story that doesn't quite work a last-minute re-write of some major plot points, was my first guess , an unimaginative screenplay and lazy directing, this movie is about as good as It's not meant to be hilarious, but my word, I haven't enjoyed a movie this much since Plan 9 from Outer Space.

The bulk of the movie is, obviously, visually impressive. It's lovely to look at The story and screenplay are a slapped together series of brain farts that make you wonder what the selection process for professional movie writers must be; a dartboard, perhaps? I don't really mean to be harsh, but let's be honest: It's the only movie I've ever explicitly watched the credits for in order to see who was responsible for the screenplay.

No single element of the writing is stand-out 'look at this' bad. Rather, it's as if it was written by a teenager with some raw talent, but no self-awareness or experience. Mistakes and blunders come one after the other, making an overall effect that any B movie lover can appreciate: Aborted character arcs abound, illogical setpieces and bizzare events make it impossible to take the story seriously or feel invested in any of the characters.

The most glaring story component is that last-minute re-write that I suspect perhaps a re-write is common knowledge to people who followed the movie's production; I'm not one of them , which obviously left a lot of lose ends in the story: Seeing the children's mother have a breakdown because her sister wasn't spending time with the boys was amazing.

Because -again- it made no sense. Clearly, the story was intended to be a broken family bonding over the dramatic events of the movie, but instead, we have A mess with no real conclusion. The boys consternation over their parents looming divorce? Well, never mind that, Dinosaur attack! Park manager worrying about low attendance numbers and declining profits?

Those tens of thousands of people crowding every square metre of the shiny and new-looking park don't matter, because dinosaurs! Look, Guest appearance by Jimmy Fallon doing Millitary shenanigans and corruption, but let's not even try to finish that arc, instead let's have rolling balls of CGI magic! It's just a series of silly, pretty looking events that happened on an island with suicidal attack-dinosaurs, mustache-twirling military contractors, theme parks with no emergency procedures, annoying kids with no purpose in the story, and Chris Pratt trying to make the most of his boring, cliche macho-guy lines.

A solid B movie experience. I went to cinema not expecting much and it did not offer much so it's win-win. I though story was little bit off, evel dinosaur wasn't enough so they had to add evil guy that wants to use good dinosaurs to fight bad guys I mean c'mon, I went to cinema not expecting much and it did not offer much so it's win-win. I mean c'mon, evel dinosaur that kills people is enough. And the woman that went through hell can run in high heels at the end is more sci-fi than dinosaurs park.

The movie also tried to be funny at times and I thought that's not appropriate for jurassic world. Later people were even laughing at scenes that were supposed to be scary. We did enjoy this movie a little bit as we were not expecting much and we saw San Andreas last week so anything is better than that , but I am afraid that people that want this to be sequel to jurassic world 1 or 2 will be dissapointed. OxyFenix Dec 23, I like movies that are simple enough that you can just enjoy the action and just be entertained.

This is not that movie. Even I couldn't forgive some of the irrational thinking and boring characters. Jurassic World ranks below The Lost World. I was quite disappointed. There is a lot of great CGI and some good action scenes, but the story, acting and direction really wasn't at the same level. Just finished watching Jurassic World If you are a fan of Jurassic Park and enjoyed that movie, like I do, do not even waste your time on Jurassic World.

The story was basically a rehash of the original, and the acting I've seen better acting in old 70's porno's than what this crap-fest offered up. I just don't get it. I must be ignorant or suffering from a brain tumor or something to distort my perception because all the while this movie was in the theatres, everyone said 'you have to see it, it's sooooooo good!! So I just finished I just don't get it. So I just finished watching it and I'm still actually in shock of how terrible this movie really is! From the miscasting, to the screenplay, to the storyline, to even the CGI effects I mean, come on Chris Pratt, really like the the guy and think he's a good actor but not for this part.

The kids, forget it cause you really do forget about them during the film. So save your money especially if you've seen or read Jurassic Park because it literally is a complete clone of the movie. I was waiting the whole time for the parks computer system to lock everyone in ChikatiloZ Jan 23, What you can expect: Children riding triceratops A kind and fluffy T-rex helping their human friends Tamed fluffy raptors helping their human friends Tons of "family moments" about love, about a big brother finally being nice to his What you can expect: What not to expect: Dobian Jun 22, Let me start with the good.

There are some very nice nods to the original Jurassic Park in this film. The statue of Hammond, the return of B. Wong as the geneticist behind these creations, and most notably the two boys in the film Let me start with the good. Wong as the geneticist behind these creations, and most notably the two boys in the film discovering the original visitor center from Jurassic Park now covered in jungle growth. They even find the original jeeps in the garage. There's also a moment where Claire uses a flair just like Alan and Ian do in the first movie.

The park itself looks really cool and is obviously modeled after Disneyland with Main Street leading up to the pyramid-shaped main center. The dinosaurs look great and there is plenty of good dino action in the movie to keep you entertained. Now for the bad. First, a big missed opportunity I thought in that when I first saw Claire in the film I thought she might just be Lex from the original, all grown up and now running the park her grandfather dreamed of building. Since I had temporarily forgotten Lex's name, I thought Claire might be her, and was disappointed when it wasn't.

That would have been a great tie-in, even with her being played by a different actress. The character would then have been very aware of the dangers and pitfalls associated with this park based on her own childhood experience, which would have led to some much more intelligent dialogue and story development. Instead we get a park manager who is a corporate cliche and spends much of the movie being totally clueless to the growing threat to the visitors, when she isn't engaged in her preteen-level flirting with Chris Pratt's character.

I'll refrain from giving spoilers other than to say that the story and plot developments are preposterously stupid. When you look at the timeline for this park, we know that as of Jurassic Park III both islands were still off-limits. Factor in the several years it would have taken to get this park fully realized and it couldn't be more than five years old at the start of this movie.

Yet one of the major premises is that the public has already gotten bored with dinosaurs so they need to start making super dino monstrosities to keep them entertained and coming back to the park. Toss in a lunatic military contractor who I am assuming wants to drop lots of velociraptors on the Middle East, animal behavior that defies belief, outrunning a T-Rex while in high heels, and a final dinosaur battle that resembles a Godzilla movie I was expecting Mothra to drop into the melee , and you have a big pile of dino droppings.

The movie is fun enough as an amusement park thrill ride, just don't expect the character depth, narrative excellence, or sense of wonder and adventure of the original. Prosmooth Jun 19, A huge load of meh.
