Jurassic World resurrects the classic Jurassic Park film series
and brings it back to relevancy. It takes place more than two decades
after the events of the first film. Jurassic World, having been renamed
presumably because of the infamy associated with the previous name, is
now a fully active dinosaur amusement park. But attendance has been
declining and the park owner is searching for a way to boost it back up.
So InGen introduces a new type of dinosaur, a hybrid. Indominus Rex, as
they call it, is a genetically-modified T-Rex mixed with other
predatory dinosaurs. It is bigger and more intelligent than any of the
previous species. However, it breaks out of its containment area and
proceeds to wreak havoc on the park and its visitors.
Going into
this film, my expectations were pretty high despite the unsatisfactory
storylines of Lost World and JP3. It took a long time to get this movie
to theaters due to differing opinions on where next to go with the
story, or if they wanted to continue it at all. Due to that length of
time, I was expecting a very well-done film and that I did receive. What
it lacks in inventiveness, it more than makes up for in story
development and intense action sequences. Jurassic World will keep you
on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
Many devoted
Jurassic Park fans will appreciate the referral to the events of the
original film. In one particular scene, some of the main characters
discover the old visitor center, now overgrown with brush. Another scene
portrays a character wearing an old Jurassic Park T-shirt he bought,
much to the chagrin of his co-workers. As I said earlier, what happened
in Jurassic Park 22 years ago may have been the inspiration for the
change from "Jurassic Park" to "Jurassic World".
Of course, you
have the shallow critics who would pan this sequel as "unoriginal" or
essentially a rehash of previous events. While that may be true to a
point, the numbers speak for themselves, people! As of the publishing of
this article, Jurassic World has made $981.3 million, not mention
shattering numerous opening weekend box office records.
Whether
this movie is worth two hours of your time, I'll leave that to you. But,
in my opinion, it was two hours of my time very well-spent!
