A Great Addition to the Franchise

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2015)

I went into this movie with high expectations which is surprising, as I wasn't convinced that Chris Pratt had the Star Power to pull it off. Yes I realized that he was the lead in Guardians of the Galaxy, but he was kind of goofy in that, and I still know him mostly from Parks and Rec. and I just didn't see Andy as the leader of a pack of Velociraptors. (We saw that in the Trailers so most would agree that it is not a spoiler)
Anyway my concerns aside, I was a big fan of the original Jurassic movies, and I couldn't wait to see this one.
Boy am I glad I did. The movie was great. I'm not sure how those not familiar with the original will feel about this one, but how many people of movie going age are not? It's been available on Video for like 15 years, so if you are old enough to get into this one, the chances are you at least saw it at a friends house.
The movie was beautiful, generally well acted, and most importantly gave us the chance to have the question of "what might have happened if they had been able to actually open the park?"
The answer of course was given to us in Lost World in the form of a quote from Ian Malcolm. "Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and um, screaming."
Andy, I mean Starlord, I mean Chris Pratt did just fine. They left the door wide open for the sequel, and I'm sure that I will see that one on opening weekend as well.
