Story:
It revolves around the administrated tour business operation Jurassic World that has been established for more than a decade with the inhabitants of scientifically cloned dinosaurs. To revive dwindling patronage head of the park Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) manufactures a new explicitly Half-Dinosaur. This scientifically created perfect specimen that was the main attraction eventually subtasks out of its cage and wreaks havoc on civilization.
Two of Claire’s nephews Zach, played by Nick Robinson and Gray Mitchell by Ty Simpkins are in the park during the event. When Indominus is seen on the loose, Claire partners with Owen Grady a Velociraptor trainer to go rescue the boys while at the same time dealing with the rampaging dinosaur. The story progresses with continuous thrilling action sequences, some of which relate to the operation and real looks of the park; the threats a society faces from prehistoric creatures turned loose.
Reviews:
Jurassic World has met a general reception of mixed and positive responses from critics, as the audience applauded both entertainment and effects with complaints of cliches.
Plus Points:
- Visual Effects and Action: It also includes today’s accurate depiction of magnificent dinosaurs giving the movie intense action scenes that appeal to viewers.
- Nostalgia Factor: It is shocking that Jurassic World has borrowed a lot of features and catches from the first Schwarloater of Jurassic Park.
- Strong Performances: Chris Pratt does a great job as Owen Grady and Bryce Dallas Howard does a good job of portraying Claire, from her corporate executive to a mother nature-type character.
- Engaging Themes: Questions that make the viewers think about their role on the planet exist: corporate greed, the role of ethics in science, and the actuality of genetic modification.
- Entertainment Value: Jurassic World is very interesting full of physical actions, suspense and comedy which would appeal to many people.
Minus Points:
- Predictable Plot: It was pointed out though, that the storyline is all too conventional, as with most Follow-up movies, some clichés can be borrowed from earlier movies in the series.
- Character Development: The acting of the main characters is good, although some of the actors who play supporting roles seem to be insufficiently developed, which makes the characters themselves too stereotyped and uninteresting to watch.
- Pacing Issues: There can be a sense of times when things have escalated rather quickly, especially before the two major fight scenes intensify, and would leave people seeking more of the character development.
- Overreliance on CGI: Even though the spectators were amazed by the spectacular appearances of the movie it was criticized for highly using computer-generated effects which do not complement practical effects that would make the d roleId appear more realistic.
Technical Aspects:
There is fine technical finesse in the making of Jurassic World. The astonishing work of John Schwartzman as a director of photography makes the picture look like a thoroughly shot action film with the beautiful location of Isla Nublar. There is little in the way of fat on the film: its editing is sharp and fast – although never at the expense of coherence – and the story keeps viewers interested from start to finish.
The music by Michael Giacchino suits the movie’s dramatic and action scenes and carries forward the memorable series of Jurassic Park’s themes with muscular new ideas. Sound work makes the experience more realistic, you hear what sounds like the roar of dinosaurs and tempest in the park.
Performance:
Probably, Chris Pratt in the role of Owen Grady, represents the typical Hollywood hero with a touch of masculine attractiveness and, good knowledge of dinosaurs. His chemistry with Bryce Dallas Howard’s Claire works for their corporate partnership that then transforms into the fight for survival. Howard does a great job before the camera by revealing the change in Claire from the character of a manager who does not care to a heroine.
Essential the actors, and for the basis, Vincent D’Onofrio plays the military man Vic Hoskins, Irrfan Khan is the owner of the park, and Simon Masrani, adds intensity and conflict to the film. That is why some of the characters may be developed not very profoundly, however, the acting still actively contributes to the plot.
MoviePopTime Review:
In my opinion, Jurassic World was a good continuation of the series after 14 years of a brake. While real-life technology has been mainly overhauled in those 14 years. What this means is, that Jurassic World could incorporate all the best and state-of-the-art technology to assist in making the film look special or new. Using more innovative ideas and once again, spectacular CGI and special effects made us further engaged in watching the movie and this time, new characters presented were well welcomed, especially Chris Pratt’s character and we get a feel of how a Man/ Dinosaur relationship would look like, through their fascinating interactions.
In conclusion, I can confidently agree with the statement that Jurassic World is one extremely enjoyable movie to watch, thanks to special and effective features such as special effects, action and an interesting theme we are given a scope, and invited to follow through the only drawback of this movie that, to me, has somewhat cliche scenes that are slightly irritating and quite goofy at times. Apart from that I would recommend ‘Jurassic World’ to anyone, who has not witnessed the Jurassic Park movies before or any elderly people who would like to witness their favourite movies on the big screen again.
Conclusion:
Jurassic World can breathe fresh life into the franchise, with an exhilarating ride that gives fans of the series the sort of movie they would expect from the franchise today. Thus, even though it may not top the original Jurassic Park, it provides good, exciting adrenalin-pumping action with a touch of suspense accompanied by an idea provoking one’s thoughts and food for thought.
The investment in good visual effects, skilful acting, and an interesting plot give this film the deserved place in the series and fans satisfaction for people who have never seen it before. As the start of a new saga, Jurassic World raises many new questions regarding the role of humans, who brought dinosaurs back to life and explored those environments and this universe wanting more. In conclusion, at least as far as CGI and the inclusion of renewed versions of the original movie characters called dinosaurs and adventure elements are concerned, Jurassic World is a strong testimony of the steady power of appeal for such creatures and adventures in the reign of cinema.
