WEEKEND REVIEW OF JURASSIC WORLD
![]() |
year: 2015 rating: * |
Ripping off ALIENS, a troop of soldiers are viewed on their own monitors, falling prey to a gigantic combination of T-Rex and… other mischievous ingredients at the famous (or infamous) Theme Park finally open to the public, and not just in test-only mode or posthumous ruins…

The Shark Still Rules, Steven |
But our token action hero Chris Pratt knows better… Much, much better… With breezy idealism intact, and an ability to maneuver Raptors like sheep, unlike his GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY intrepid slacker he’s just too perfect to relate with. And, being this film’s Sam Neill, there's a potential Jeff Goldblum sarcastic sidekick who winds up completely benign...
So basically all Pratt’s Owen does is argue with the slowly-thawing Claire as they attempt to rescue the boys, who, like everyone else in human form, we hardly get to know at all… Especially one jerk wanting the dinos for military gain: Talk about cliché. But the real crime of WORLD is the lack of JURASSIC: the impressive location is a mere afterthought for a dull Monster Movie, set mostly behind the public's view, while the other neat looking dinosaurs are hardly shown at all. Just because the fictional public within this story are tired of them doesn't mean we are. (Believe it or not, the ultra maligned camp sequel of a sequel, JAWS 3D, did a much better job showing an underwater theme park attacked by a predator.)
