What I Expected

Rating: 6/10 (14 June 2015)

"Jurassic World" was a very good movie. I liked the new and improved park (Now that it's finally open). The action scenes were really cool. When the hybrid dinosaur was fighting the T-Rex, I couldn't take my eyes off of the screen. It's amazing how far that technology has come since the first installment in the franchise. One of the things I didn't like was how unrealistic it was. I know you guys are probably wondering, "It's a movie about dinosaurs on an island with a theme park on it." I understand that it's a far fetched plot, but what I liked about the first, second, and third "Jurassic Park." At least in those movies the dinosaurs were just chasing the humans because they wanted a nice snack. In this new movie, velociraptors are jumping onto T-Rexs to take down a hybrid dinosaur. That kind of thing wouldn't happen if dinosaurs were still living. Also, what are the odds that the water dinosaur thing would be waiting at the edge of the pool at just the right moment to kill the GMO. Did any of you guys think it was weird that Owen could control the raptors. In all of the other films, they made the raptors out to be vicious beasts, but now, they are house pets that can be told commands. This could've been a better movie if the plot was a little better. I was disappointed by the character build up. They just put 2 kids on a plane and suddenly they were the main characters, and all they tell us about Owen is that he was an ex-marine that happened to date the aunt of the two kids that happen to be in trouble. What are the odds? I loved the design of the park itself. It looks like a dinosaur Disney world in a way, just on an island. I wish so bad that this park was real. Finally, I liked the throw backs to the old movies. First of all, there was the DNA cartoon character. They also showed the dinosaur in the first movie that looked like he had a mane. The old jeep was really cool as well. That was a major throwback. I gave this movie a 6 because I liked the action, but I thought that the character build up was bad and it didn't have a good storyline. I still hope they make a 5th one.
