Great Experience

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2015)

I saw this movie in 4DX format, which is a great experience in itself. The whole idea is that i expected to like it a lot less than i actually did. The 3d and CGI were the best I've ever seen and the 4DX experience of trembling and moving chairs together with smoke and water splashing in your face really made the experience much more enjoyable than it otherwise would have been. Now on to the movie. I really felt the actors were doing a good job not to over- act. The movie starts off well with quick references to the original JP movie, which maybe not everyone notices at first. The atmosphere builds up very well up until to the part where the indominus rex enclosure part, where you just know that sh*t is about to hit the proverbial fan. The 3d pans from the helicopter, the "raptors go hunting" scene were off the charts awesome. Of course there were some parts who some may "judge" to be predictable, but i sometimes wonder if some people just go to watch a movie to criticize it afterwards. Everyone's born a critic ?
There were also corny messages like, if you don't work together you can't achieve anything in life or "defeat your inner demons" in this case a huge "monster".
The final is very much like the original in a way, but still very enjoyable though i liked the reference to the original.
Everyone is free to have their own opinion obviously. But for me a movie has to do 2 things. It has to be enjoyable without being corny and it has to immerse me in the story and keep me on the edge of my seat. When i stop watching my watch and just forget about time. If it does those things it is a success in itself and this movie does just that.
If you have the option to watch it in 4Dx.. go do just that, even if you have to travel for it.. you can only watch a movie for the first time once.
