Satisfying 4th installment to the JP series

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2017)

"Jurassic World" is the 4th installment in the Jurassic Park film series, and while it does not live up to the original, it works as a satisfying sequel to the original. However, this is also the best Jurassic Park sequel (as of today at least). The effects are great, and there are several new and returning dinosaurs from the original. The Indominus Rex is a really cool creation that I really liked. Dr. Henry Wu (BD Wong), however, is the only returning human character from the original.
This movie introduces us to Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), who are solid Jurassic Park characters. The movie still has a "Jurassic Park" feel to it even with these new and modern characters. However, they do some really dumb things at times. What is shooting at a huge hybrid dino with a small hunting rifle going to do? And why get into your vehicle to phone HQ instead of at the paddock control room? Oh, well. Overall, this was a solid film in the series, and I have enjoyed it several times. You should watch it, and give it a chance. 8/10
