May I begin with just saying "Wow!" Jurassic Park finally got a sequel that it deserves.
From our history of Jurassic Park sequels I had very very low expectations going to the movie last night. Thank you Colin Trevorrow for proving me wrong.
As usual I'm going to make my fair warnings from the beginning. I have always been and always be a huge fan of Chris Pratt. This situation may have affected my judgment of the movie tiny bit. But it didn't affect that much on Guardians of the Galaxy so I'm certain that Jurassic World was good. Really good!
Last night when we left the theater I was fairly disappointed that my dad was not impressed. I have no idea what people have against CGI. I know it's not as much work as it used to be with the handmade sets and robotics and stuff but if it looks realistic I am all for the green screen technology. It's not about how they make it, it's about what comes out of it.
A revelation about me: I don't like 3D. I just don't. The general viewpoint on 3D that it improves the experience but I think the other way around. I find it tiring. The first few times you see a movie in 3D it may be interesting but it surely gets old. So I wouldn't hate to have Jurassic World in the good old 2 dimension without the color distortion of the 3D glasses.
We can't only talk good about a movie so let's begin with my "oh no" moments. First of all, I would definitely kill of that Henry guy is a huge ass. I've always wanted to punch every character that is written with a God syndrome so I know it was necessary for the story line but I still hate it.
Someone explain me this: 3 velociraptors is useless against an Indominus Rex but one raptor alone can take it down? I know there was a T-Rex involved but she didn't really do much did she?
Is the message of the movie "dinosaurs have feelings too"? And even if it is, why raptors dude? You learn nothing from your mistakes?
At the end of the movie the Indominus Rex is defeated and it's all good. But it shouldn't! There are still very dangerous dinosaurs out there that can make you an appetizer or dessert. In the first movie people were running from the fucking T-Rex; not that there is a more dangerous kind is the T-Rex okay to hang around with?
They do leave the island be and dinosaurs live there on their own happily ever after and it's an island so they can't get to the humans bla bla bla... Let's ignore the fact that there are kinds that can fly and actually have eaten and/or impaled people but whatever. If they will decide to cross the island they'll just make another sequel to take care of it.
But then there are the teary-eye moments, which are mainly the references made to the original Jurassic Park movie. The door, the hall, the logo... I was all "aawww" half of the movie.
I know I spotted out more negatives that I can point out positives but the things I got hung up on are trivial stuff and what has impressed me was the originality of the story. Indominus Rex is basically not a dinosaur but it is a clever creation. Even though it's CGI it succeeds in giving you goosebumps.
I say that you should definitely see Jurassic World. Don't make the mistake of comparing it to Jurassic Park. Just sit back and enjoy the show. You won't regret it.
Thank you for reading my humble opinion.
