A great continuation of one of the most beloved franchises out there

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2015)

Jurassic World is a movie that some nostalgic film-goers find to be disappointing but to me, it was an entertaining joyride that fills all expectations of what a Jurassic Park movie should be. It lacks the charm that Jeff Goldblum brought but they seemed to almost make an amalgam of both the witty Ian Malcolm and the everyman Dr Allan Grant into the character that Chris Pratt plays.
Chris Pratt plays Owen, the raptor trainer that works at the park and consistently opposes Project Ares(a government project designed to use dinosaurs for war). He's the character that the audience relates to, but the problem here is that he isn't introduced until thirty minutes in.
There's also the obvious addition of two young brothers, one of which is super into dinosaurs and the other being more indifferent than anything. The Manager of the park, Claire Dearing is almost more like Hammond is in the Jurassic Park novels, except for the fact that they did humanize her more than Hammond is in the books.
The climax of the film does NOT disappoint. I guess I could understand how some may find a problem with the climax but if you just let yourself enjoy the story for what it is you'll have a really fun time!
