This film was the biggest pile of……. Epic awesomeness I have ever witnessed at the cinema and probably the best film I have seen this year, the film follows the park on the island where the first one was filmed on Isla Nublar, so let’s dive in to a world of awesomeness this is Jurassic World.
So we open up with an egg and in that egg we have the indominus rex or I-Rex for short, another egg is hatching which is the I-Rex’s sibling, we then cut to a suburban part of America where we meet two of our main characters Zach and Gray they are going to Jurassic World to visit their aunt Claire who is the operations manager at the park, they fly over there and travel by ferry to the park, there they meet with an assistant Claire has sent to look after them, they check in to the hotel room and are given wristbands as they are VIPs at the park, they travel to the visitors center where they run in to Claire who tells them that she is busy but will hang tomorrow, she goes and meets with Jurassic World’s eccentric owner Mr Masrani who has flown in to see a new dinosaur that the parks geneticists team have created. Once they are in the paddock we see a glimpse of the I-Rex and Masrani tells Claire to get a guy named Owen Grady, I guess you can say he is a raptor whisperer, so she travels to see Owen.
We meet Owen training raptors and then we meet the villain Vic Hoskins, head of the parks ACU (Asset Containment Unit) as they are talking Vic says he wants to use the raptors as a weapon, Owen disagrees, suddenly a pig gets loose and a paddock worker falls in to the paddock, and when the raptors go to attack him Owen steps in and calms the raptors down. We are then taken to Owens bungalow where Claire meets up with Owen, we learn they have had a thing in the past and have been dating but it didn’t really work out, any who, Owen agrees to survey the paddock, once there he sees claw marks on the wall where the I-Rex has tried to jump out going down to investigate and finding no sign of the dinosaur in the paddock Owen plus two other guys investigate further, ah but then the parks control team find that the dinosaur is in fact in the paddock with them, as the team try to warn them the I-Rex shows up and kills two workers and escapes the paddock.
The next few minutes not a lot happens we see Zach and Gray on the gyro sphere, they come across a restricted area, just as they go to investigate phase one of an evacuation begins closing down the ride, they travel in to the restricted area only to come across the I-Rex who destroys the gyrosphere, they escape and come across, wait for it wait for it ready for a nostalgia trip back to 1993, they travel to the very first visitor centre from the first film, they find the “when dinosaurs ruled the earth” banner exactly where the t-rex roared at the end of the first film, they find a jeep fix it up and then drive back to the park, but trouble is brewing when Mr Masrani pimps his helicopter up with a machine gun and goes after the I-Rex himself, his helicopter is taken down by some teradactyls (pardon the spelling) letting them loose, they fly to the park, now this is where shit hits the fan, they attack the visitors picking them up then going all circ de solei on them sending them flying like trapeze artists, Zach and Gray are caught up in this chaos and meet up with the assistant, who sadly gets picked up by the winged beasts and is then dropped into the mosasaurus enclosure, the mosasaurus then kills the assistant along with the teradactyl (again pardon the spelling)
Okay to cut a long story short they use Owen’s raptors to try and defeat the I-Rex Vic dies by one of the raptors, now this scene is probably one of the most fantastic dinosaur fights in the history of Jurassic park, the I-Rex kills two raptors, Claire then gets one of the most infamous dinos out, the t-rex from the first Jurassic park film, they have an awesome fight, and just when you think the t-rex is about to die bam another raptor comes and saves the day, the t-rex gets back up and fights the I-rex, and then something unexpected happens bam! The mosasaurus leaps up and kills the I-Rex. We then cut to an airport hangar where the injured are getting treated Zach and Gray’s parents arrive, and Owen and Claire get back together, then we cut to the helipad where Masrani’s chopper was kept, the t-rex then let’s out a mighty roar as the Jurassic park theme plays.
And that was Jurassic world OMG!!!! I loved this movie I really really really enjoyed it I mean it was amazing and I mean amazing I mean my heart was pounding at a few scenes, it really is a throwback to the first one because the soundtrack is the same Micheal Giacinno has done an amazing job, I wouldn’t say he gives John Williams a run for his money but that soundtrack though oh my god, nostalgia wise oh god this film was a complete throwback to the first film, now let’s get one thing straightend out forget there ever was a second or third one forget that, Jurassic world feels like it’s the sequel to Jurassic park and in a way it is.
Now let’s talk about the cast, well first of we have Chris Pratt who played Owen, now he was great in this, I mean he had so many great lines and his character seemed to be the only character who thought that the I-Rex was a bad idea, then there’s Bryce Dallas Howard who plays the operational manager Claire, now there is an infamous scene in this where she is running away from the T Rex in heels, ladies is that even fucking possible to do all that running in heels I’m a dude right and even I know you can’t do that so how is that even possible, any way she was okay I guess a lot of people say she was wooden but I couldn’t see any of that, then there’s Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins who play Zach and Gray now these characters where in my opinion great they had a few funny lines but nonetheless they were great, the whole cast done a fantastic job as did the director Colin Trevorrow who I haven’t even heard of but now he is one of my top directors, he really does know when to add the nostalgic feels to the film and with only one other film to his name (sleeper hit film Safety Not Guarenteed) he has really stepped up from small budget to big blockbuster films and I can not wait to see his other work in the future.
And that was my review on Jurassic World I hope you enjoyed taking a nostalgic trip with me, now go and see this film and be blown back to the 90s again with this film, until next time catch ya later.
