Good but nothing original here

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2015)

Jurassic World as a stand alone film is good. Had I not seen the previous Jurassic films I would have enjoyed this, found it entertaining. I find this a nice addition to the previous three films.
The acting is excellent by all, the production high. Only issue I have is that nothing new really happens. People show up at Jurassic World, something goes wrong, people die and the park is ruined. Same format, same formula, no real new ideas. Can't blame the writers for this. What else could be done with the story?
One other issue I have with the film is that it doesn't really build up as much tension as the previous. There are a few moments here and there that do but when one of the characters is in a very dangerous situation, there is a lack of build-up, a lack of suspense.
All in all very good but not all that original.
