Jurassic World is a perfect return to Isla Nublar

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2015)

We want a better Jurassic Park sequel. Jurassic World is a "better sequel". It doesn't have a story based on the book and it does feel like a remake using the same timeline, yet it is perfect return to Isla Nublar. Remember when the first Jurassic Park movie came out in 1993? The movie was a preview tour of the park. The whole park was destroyed and the T-Rex was the only dinosaur to survive the hurricane on Isla Nublar. John Hammond envisioned a fully functioned theme park on Isla Nublar. While we are at Isla Sorna (The Lost World and Jurassic Park 3), the park was probably being fixed and improved. John Hammond has passed away later on, and what he envisioned (a fully functioning dinosaur theme park) came true. 14 years later after Jurassic Park 3 (2001-2015) the movie brings us back to Isla Nublar's dino park and it is complete! It is wonderful! What John Hammond had dreamt of on the park has come true! It feels "realistic". Let's compare the park of Isla Nublar to a building being under construction for many years. That building was planned to be opened that year after a preview tour, but was wrecked with an earthquake. And you can never go there again. A few decades later, that building has opened again and this time has been improved and is exactly how the creator of this building dreamt of. As you were a kid, the building was ordinary, but now it has improved and is exactly how the maker wanted it be as you are now an adult. The same thing goes to Jurassic Park becoming Jurassic World. And it's a perfect return to Isla Nublar.
However, the film feels like a remake to the first one. Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) feels like Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) and Alan Grant (Sam Neill) again. The two kids played by Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins are just like the two kids in the first Jurassic Park movie. Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) is another main female character who feels like another main female character in the first movie. The characters felt like they were remade, yet we have a very different story.
The story is pretty interesting. The plot, however, makes it a bit too long to be a perfect movie. We first meet two baby I-Rex's, we meet the two kids, we return to Isla Nublar, we meet a girl, we meet a raptor trainer, the I-Rex escapes, and the story goes on. It's kind of hard to understand the story. The story is about saving Claire's children from the dangerous I-Rex. We will focus on new things, then the old, then we return to the new ones, we come back to the old, and it goes on. It's not that important, but I can say that it's likable. Returning to the old things is the most memorable parts of the movie. It's not to say there is nothing else memorable. The dinosaurs are also memorable. Those raptor chase scenes, dinosaur attractions, and of course, the final dinosaur fight. Those are not really seen in the first Jurassic Park movie, but the movie still cannot be better than the first one.
There are some weak dialogue in the film. It's a tiny letdown, but you would appreciate the directing and acting. Colin Trevorrow who directed the film directs just like Steven Spielberg and he does a great job in bringing a classic back to life. Michael Giacchino's score is very good and in two scenes, the score made me wish to cry as my childhood returns. He is just like John Williams right now. Chris Pratt does very well in his acting. His voice may be annoying sometimes, but he is a talented actor who follows the tone of the scene. Bryce Dallas Howard plays an annoying character. She is indeed annoying in her role because of her character. I bet she follows how her character is developed.
Verdict: Jurassic World's story is pretty hard to understand. The plot is OK, but it makes the length of the movie longer, which is good. Again, even though the story is hard to understand, this is a perfect return to both the classic film and Isla Nublar. The ending, to me, is my favorite scene in the whole movie. Remember the T-Rex from the first Jurassic Park? We meet her again. We can see her wounds from the previous raptor fight in the first Jurassic Park. She is old, but still strong. Her roar at the end may have meant that she has won the T-Rex vs I-Rex fight. She won. She saves the day again! Her roar makes me want to cry because it brings back my memories from the first Jurassic Park movie. The soundtrack in that scene also make me want to cry. The ending is perfect. The movie should never beat the first Jurassic Park movie, but the whole crew of the movie did an unbelievably great job in bringing back our Jurassic Park memories. Let's hope that The Force Awakens does that too and Star Wars 8 does a perfect Lando return. Jurassic World is the best "classic welcome back" movie and one of the best movies of 2015. The filmmakers just doesn't do their job, they had a good idea behind all these, and it ended up perfect. No, not the movie, it's the ideas.
