One Damn Corny Waste of my Time

Rating: 4/10 (14 June 2015)

So the park is open. The only problem is, in the first 10 minutes of this film i already wanted the park to close. Jurassic World is a film that i knew was pretty bad as soon as it began. The opening scene is cheesy enough to put you off the rest and make you want to leave the cinema. However, I stayed and decided to watch the rest of it. By about half of the way through the movie, I came to the conclusion that there were a lot of problems with it, but there was one main problem that really brought the movie down. The performances. There was no chemistry between any of these characters. Every conversation felt forced and bland. There was only one performance in the movie that i felt redeemed the movies acting credits, and that was the performance of Jake Johnson, but his character was far too small to make a large affect on the movie. Another problem with Jurassic World was the vast amount of useless, pointless plot points that did nothing to the movie. For example, there is a scene where Gray, the youngest of the two main brothers in the film, starts to get upset and we find out that his parents are getting divorced. This is the only time the divorce and struggling marriage of the parents is mentioned and does absolutely nothing to the plot. This film was far too predictable. Every time you met a new character, you could tell whether they were going to survive or not. Perhaps the most disappointing thing about this movie was Chris Pratt. I went into the movie thinking that Chris Pratt was going to be the saviour in average movie, but his performance just made a poor movie even poorer with terribly delivered lines and failing to convince us that he was the guy we all wanted to be. Having said that, Jurassic World wasn't bad enough to make me want to kill myself. The graphic effects were fairly impressive and there were a few genuine thrills, but they were all seen in either the trailer or featurettes and clips, so didn't shock or thrill a lot of viewers as much as they could have. All in all, I went into Jurassic World expecting an OK, but entertaining action flick, but i got a cliché 21st century action movie with poor performances and a extreme amount of predictability.
5.4/10
