Expands from Park to World

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2015)

Jurassic World will not win any Oscars.
Jurassic World will not be a movie you dissect among critics and marvel at it's hidden meaning.
Jurassic World is, however, a fun and entertaining two hours that satisfies every need it creates.
There is your typical 3 act presentation; however, the film launches immediately into the world it promises (pun intended) without insulting the viewer's intelligence by attempting to depict an origin story.
It's a theme park with dinosaurs. Period. Let's go! Chris Pratt is great within his role. Again, he will not win an Oscar, but he delivers a performance that makes the audience care about the character and his intentions.
Bryce Dallas Howard, BD Wong and Vincent D'Anafrio play predictable characters, but ones that are needed to make the story work and make it more entertaining.
There are several meta references to the first film which makes Jurassic World feel self aware about it's place in cinematic and franchise history.
While this movie is technically a sequel to Jurassic Park, it is better when viewed as a stand alone entry that focuses on the results a dinosaur theme park could have on the world, and not just a park.
The movie promises to be fun and exciting while delivering action scenes featuring dinosaurs and peril.
It succeeds.
