Jurassic World

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)

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.

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. (06/12/2015)

A very pleasant surprise and the best sequel to Jurassic Park so far. Trevorrow takes a sensitive approach and present Hammond’s original vision and the whole spiel about raising profits works just great. With the kids’ storyline (much less annoying than you might think) for a classic family feeling. And also taming the raptors that made it onto the poster. Chris "Starlord" Pratt returned to his role from Zero Dark Thirty and his marine/medic is a very good central figure for the whole story with the anticipated involvement of B. D. Howard, who shakes off her corporate shell maybe too quickly. They could have left out her running in high-heels. The dinosaur scenes are not as terrifying as before and its meant to be pure blockbuster entertainment for all age groups. The megafights between species to find a master of the dinosaurs is a pleasure to watch. Effects are mostly fine, but are sometimes spoiled by minor details that a bit more work could have put right. Even so, I enjoyed Jurassic World incredibly and it’s one of those movies that I look forward to watch again some time. Not just a few selected scenes, but all in all good, clean fun. P.S.: Williams’ theme presented by Giacchino still works well. (06/10/2015)
