Jurassic World

An excellent tribute to the first film, from the opening panorama, through the helicopter arrival, to references to the eccentric millionaire. Fortunately, Jurassic World doesn't steal, but rather duplicates the functioning and adds design thanks to a twenty-year evolution in technology, making the dinosaur action even more intense and dense, with an excellently depicted and well thought-out park. The acting also works great, and although it may not be as confident and iconic as Spielberg's film, it is at least a decent beta that won't offend either the wallet or the brain of the viewer.

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)

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)

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.

I like how the entire Jurassic World is referring to the good old Jurassic Park. It’s not hiding the reference and it’s not attempting to be just another embarrassing remake. On the contrary, it expands the entire dinosaur world and that’s actually quite a good thing. And even though the main plotline is about an over-grown and mutated dinosaur, which actually isn’t too great a premise to build a movie on, it still watches pretty well. The authors did a great job in terms of casting. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are exactly the reason why I really enjoyed the movie. Chris Pratt plays his standard cool dude who looks like he just crawled out of the jungle and who can communicate with every mammal on the planet, and Bryce Dallas Howard is so beautiful here that I will keep dreaming about her fringe for several months to come.
