I saw Jurassic World yesterday, and it was pretty ok. It kind of felt like I was watching a check list of references to the original movie and other general blockbustery things (like a side plot romance and mischievous villain guy.) Essentially, it's a fun as hell movie for exactly all the reasons you would expect, and also a dumb as hell movie, for exactly all the reasons you would expect.
Fun
Chris Pratt, in general.
Scary dinosaur bits!
The really nice homage to the original park with the old dusty equipment.
But really, the absolute best part was when Bryce Dallas Howard does the whole "flare+T-Rex" trick, and we are treated to an old school Godzilla throw down. When the T-Rex comes out you just really want to cheer for her. We, as a species, are in love with the Tyrannosaurus Rex. It's just a thing.
Dumb
Are the poor raptors stuck in those head cages whenever Christ Pratt isn't around? At first I thought it was just to put them on display, but then they were all still in there later on! How would they ever convince them to do this more than once?
WHY DO THEY LET THE PARK GUESTS DRIVE THEIR OWN HAMSTER BALLS WITHOUT SOME KIND OF GPS OVERRIDE BACKUP!?
Their little team of dino catchers had the most pathetic gear and training possible. Just three helicopters (with proper pilots) and there wouldn't have been an issue. They should have learned their lesson from the first park: your Dinosaur SWAT Team needs to be legit. Spare no expense.
Well, I think that's about it. It's Jurassic World: it delivers what you ordered. (Smells Good!)
