Terrific Reboot/Sequel To The Series!....

Rating: 7/10 (23 June 2015)

I remember hearing as far back as '91 I think that Steven Spielberg would be making the movie version of Michael Crichton's novel "Jurassic Park", and thought there has never been a more perfect fit between filmmaker and project. That film, released in 1993, broke just about all box office records at the time, introduced ground-breaking cinema special effects, as well as spawned two successful sequels. What started out as a film about the wonder of seeing real dinosaurs in the flesh turned into a beast vs. man horror flick.
With "Jurassic World", set in real time 22 years after that first film, that "theme park" envisioned by John Hammond (Sir Richard Attenborough) of the first film, becomes a reality- complete with kiddy petting zoo, wet bars for the parents, motels, etc... One little thing they seem to be leaving out is how do you advertise for this thing-??? "No one was eaten THIS year!!" LMAO
Bryce Dallas Howard (looking especially yummy mm-mm) stars as the theme park's manager, and Chris Pratt as a raptor expert brought in to help capture a genetically-engineered dino-monster gone MIA! I must admit I had a really good time at this- a lot of which just reminiscing about things I recalled from the first films, all of which I enjoyed. And this movie has plenty of references to those movies. You'll notice them scattered throughout the movie. Yes, it was predictable and clichéd, but in an enjoyable way. You go to a movie like this, not for the characters/storyline, but to see big scary monsters eat people in a variety of different methods! LOL Vincent D'Onofrio, Judy Greer and BD Wong (in perhaps the only character from the first film) co-star.
