My Thrilling Jurassic World Film Review

Now, where were we? Ah, yes, my review. I had a blast, plain and simple. It’s everything I wanted in a Jurassic Park movie, and more. After 14 years, my 8 year old self is very happy, with many many dinosaurs and more action than most 3 action movies have. I was amazed most of the time, and I will have to see it 3-4 more times just to take in all of the details they have crammed into the film.

There are many little bits that harken back to the first film. There is the old Visitors Center, with the banner that reads “When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth.” We even get a bits of Jaws when the Mososaurus gets fed. I’ll let you find the other bits, and they will make you smile just before you scream again.
In a nutshell, the film follows 2 young boys, who are the nephews of Clare, the park Chief Administrator, who is having a worse day than usual. Attendance is down, and new sponsors want more and better dinosaurs. The one she has is the Indominus Rex, a brand new hybrid dinosaur. Clare, worried about the pen that the new dino is housed in, asks Owen to take a look at the pen.
Owen is in the park, personally training 4 velociraptors to follow his commands and not eat him. He arrives at the I-Rex pen and they can’t find it in the pen. It doesn’t show up on infra red scanners, so of course, three guys go inside to see where it went. From here, the film gets turned up to 10, as the I-Rex makes its appearance that had the audience screaming in terror.
The Indominus Rex is hands down the nastiest, most dangerous dinosaur in movie history. An intelligent, viscous killing machine, the I-Rex makes a bee line for the main section of the park, where 22,000 people are on the menu for it. Along the way, it tears into several isolated dinosaur areas, either killing them or setting them loose.

Owen and Clare must find a way to stop the I-Rex before it gets to the tourists after the crack team of containment specialists are killed in less than a minute. The film’s pace keeps you on the edge of your seat for over 2 hours, and it never lets up. Each new scene ratchets up the tension a bit more, as new complications break open. I have to say that the climatic fight at the end has to be the best monster fight I’ve ever seen, and that includes every Godzilla film. It’s just that awesome. If you can suspend your disbelief enough to believe that dinosaurs can be made, then you will have a great time.
