Although the sequels of the Classic Jurassic Park are absolute failures, Jurassic World ignited doubt when was announced and worried people when the first trailer appeared, when it looked like we will be bombarded by CGI and nothing more.
The CGI was indeed fantastic and although it wasn’t bad but also not good enough, the carefulness and care was felt all throughout the film. There was the attempt not to fail and the audience felt it.
Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard was both underused. They weren’t enough. It feels like they did nothing. It was all about the dinosaurs and the human inability to grasp the fact that you cannot control everything. And that includes a genetically modified dinosaur.
It was nothing compared to the classic but it pays homage to it anyway. It was 20 years after that tragic incident and you know what they say, people don’t really learn from their mistakes so history did repeat itself.
The dinosaurs wasn’t that scary. The one dinosaur that caused everything was just loud. Humans have found an ally too with the raptors which is Avenger-like in my opinion. The real deal here was the final scene, where it was so satisfying, not to the audience but to that dinosaur who for the first time, is free.
Visually thrilling and exciting, Jurassic World pretty much lived to the hype, but Pratt and Howard conjures no chemistry and their presence was nothing compared to the dinosaurs which is what the movie is about anyway. Don’t mess with the extinct stuff is the lesson here.
Grade: 3 stars
