Fantastic World, High Intensity

Rating: 9/10 (11 July 2015)

I'd prefer to look at this movie independent of all the others in the franchise. Yes, it may have been predictable and there may have been logical inaccuracies but hell, I felt so good at the end of the movie and that's all I look for in any movie.
First of all, the graphics - just outstanding. When I watched that theme park the only thing I wanted was for it to be real and for my life ambition to go visit that park. It was just surreal. The landscape, the rides, the technology and finally of course, the dinosaurs. It was so sad to see it come crashing down as it inevitably had to. I'd simply watch a movie where the kids just explore the park and go back home safely without incident. But this being Jurassic Park, a dinosaur had to break out and cause chaos. Oh well.
Chris Pratt and Bryce do a wonderful job portraying their characters. Pratt playing the logical, cautious, dinosaur tamer and Bryce playing the park's operations manager, very pragmatic yet inexperienced and unaware of the consequences of a dinosaur break- out, hesitating to exterminate the million dollar project but soon deciding to follow Pratt completely when she sees with her own eyes what those beasts are capable of. Overall, I loved them both. Bryce's little moments with Pratt are also very enjoyable to watch.
I wasn't too fond of the kids. The younger one typically being the excited, innocent and likable character and the older one being a jackass. The older brother's character was questionable. He seemed so uninterested in the whole thing and yet he wanted to lead himself and his brother into a suicidal mission beyond the boundaries of safety. It almost seemed like he had an ulterior motive but all that proved to be inconsequential towards the end.
I loved how dinosaurs were ultimately not the enemy but a monster humanity had created. Recreating nature was not the issue but creating a genetically crazy monster was. Nice way of putting not to mess too much with nature. I also loved how Pratt regains the trust of the raptors and how they fight as a team. Humans and dinosaurs against the genetic beast - it's always heartening to see animals fighting on your side. Yet it was not so illogical that they actual fought for the humans, but just happened to protect them coincidentally. The best part of the movie for me was the entrance of the T-Rex. What's a dinosaur movie without a T-Rex? It was a typical scene of the hero entering in the last moment and saving the day. I love those scenes; they make me feel so alive. Kudos to that water beast too. My god that was one phenomenally big creature.
The human villain was a let down but I preferred it this way. It would've been stupid to have him wreak more havoc when lives were already in danger.
This movie did not have the chill that the first movie had. The ripple in the glass of water and the missing goat were unbeatable but I'd still rate this higher than the original for the feel good factor at the end.
So all in all, this movie is going to let you down if you're someone who focuses too much on story and logic and don't like clichés, but you'll love it if you're someone who just sits back and dives into the show.
