That is one big pile of s**t.

Rating: 6/10 (12 June 2015)

Jurassic World was a Jurassic failure in my personal opinion. I knew this by the opening shot: A small dinosaur hatches from an egg. The funny part about this was that 20 years ago the original Jurassic Park did the exact same shot and a lot better. Practical effects are replaced with unbelievable amounts of CGI in this cash-grab reboot.
I was so pumped for this film when it was announced. I love Jurassic Park, so much that I wrote my own fourth instalment when I was only seven years old. It may come across that I'm being overly critical of the film but the fact of the matter is: Jurassic Park is one of my favourite films and to see this reboot wear the same title frankly sickens me.
This film has none of the imagination or creativity of the original, the characters are bland, clichéd stereotypes that aren't likable. Apart from Chris Pratt's character Owen, I just wanted everyone to die so the film would end quicker.
A big middle finger to the audience is the inconsistent rules of the main dinosaur. It's called the indominus Rex and it can apparently sense heat patterns, but of course only when the plot demands it. In the very scene that simple concept is introduced Chris Pratt hides from the Dino under a car. Yep, the plot forgot it's own rules, because the dinosaur stands and just walks on.
Now I have to give the film credit where it's due, and that is in the fight scenes. The spectacle of a T-Rex and a velociraptor tag-teaming against the main enemy dinosaur is ridiculously funny. Now while this is well choreographed and feels quite exciting, I can't help but remember this is a Jurassic Park movie.
If this film was called something other than Jurassic Park, I'd probably have had a lot more fun with it. It's just the sad fact that it pails in comparison to the brilliant original.
Another problem I found with the movie was that the characters. Of course you have the up-tight manager character who plans everything, the angsty teen and the know it all little brother. This is a clichéd and predictable script not worthy of the Syfy channel.
The only saving grace of the film is Chris Pratt's character: Owen. He's funny and likable, and is easily the most unique character of the film. He's a lovable rogue not unlike Han Solo from the Star Wars trilogy.
I guess the bottom line is that this film is a crap Jurassic Park movie, but an okay monster flick. If you're going for dinosaurs killing people, have fun because that's really where the film shines. But if you're going to relive the magic of the original, you may as well keep your £6.
