Jurassic World

A perfect contemporary studio film, pitch-perfectly refined to fit almost everyone's taste. The stars have "just the right" luminosity, Spielberg behind their backs, special effects artists at work, and a scripted cocktail of everything a family wants to experience on a trip to the movies. The studios will fight over Trevorrow now because we rarely see such pure craft. The unfortunate thing is that it doesn't give anything for free. Therefore, especially in terms of tension, it's pretty instant, without anything really substantial, like "climbing over a high-tension fence" or "raptors in the kitchen," which still affects me after more than twenty years and can refer to someone who has something in their head besides craft. [Btw: Chris Pratt is likable, no question about it, but his position is more so iconic, pushed by an army of e-fans. When he really carries an entire film, let him have the whip and the hat.] (07/13/2015)

If I were eight years old, this is a movie I would want to see every day, if possible multiple times. From the perspective of two brothers, it is perfectly placed in an adventurous mood, to the extent that it doesn't even need the breathtaking wow moments the original Jurassic Park is known for, even after the tenth screening. On the contrary, the world in this movie is conservatively sparse on action, and even when it is clear to everyone involved that everything is going to hell, the central T-Rex surprisingly appears sparingly. I can even imagine there might be viewers who are bothered when the screenplay can't decide whether to pay a beautiful tribute to the original or blatantly remake it. But fortunately, there are more positive aspects. Chris Pratt, who shamelessly steals every scene like a thief, Bryce Dallas Howard, who finally has a full-scale blockbuster on her resume, and the final message that plays on the feel of the Steven Spielberg original. But what raises my spirits the most is the fact that audiences still yearn for spectacles that occasionally shoot off nostalgic warmth. (06/23/2015)

Funny, suspenseful, touching, dignified, great. Jurassic World turned out the best that it could. The script moves along without the slightest problem, there is careful direction with a sense of alternating serious and light moments, a lot of nostalgia, but not so much that the film cowardly relies on it, new ideas, excellent sympathetic actors, in short, everything is as it should be. Moreover, the trailers didn't show everything, so there is no shortage of surprises (the best moments of the film for me). I'm glad Colin Trevorrow has done so well and outwitted all the doubters. And Michael Giacchino is also a hustler because, unlike Don Davis in Jurassic Park 3, he didn't try to imitate John Williams but used his themes as the cornerstones of his own music, which was the best possible approach.___P.S. But the Czech subtitles! I don't know in what conditions Petr Zenkl created them, but to turn triceratops into "triceratoptors" and to turn a female indominus rex into a male, although "him" is still referred to as "she" or "it", it really wasn't necessary.___P.P.S. Unfortunately, the same subtitles were used for the DVD release without any corrections. (06/13/2015)

In the past, the second and third movies tried not to follow a safe path of the first movie, but although it was a nice try they failed terribly (in terms of both acceptance and, unfortunately, quality). The third sequel, on the other hand, follows the path of the first movie and it turns out to be the right decision (it is great both in terms of acceptance and, fortunately, quality). However, it is not only a dull follow-up, but a playful and self-conscious continuation. Although it may not impress you in such a way (or any) that the first movie did but even without this bonus it is a high-quality movie in the form of a fun and excellently graduating summer Hollywood craft in the best sense of this word whose biggest mistake is the simple fact is that we have already seen it (multiple times). What they did really well are the "gojira-like" ending and Pratt, who is labeled as a new Ford/Indy and even though it is already the most annoying universally acknowledge cliché, but we simply cannot deny the fact that this person is a new Ford, that is for sure.

A dinosaur movie that you don't have to think about; if you happen to do so, you'll find it has a lot of plotholes. If you dwell on them, it becomes a pretty annoying movie; but if you get over yourself and think of it as just a children's story, you'll eventually find that it's not so bad after all. It's simply an homage to the original film by a fan who has added such typical fare to his homage as "I hate you, but I'll look at your tonsils for you", "I can handle the soldiers, but I let the kids get away", "look for the green and power-clouded brain behind all the trouble", "a loyal dog won't leave you". Just a popcorn movie with nice effects. It's got a twist here and there, and it ends with great conscientiousness. For kids of all ages. A better 3 stars. (10/02/2015)
