Sorry to disappoint but it isn't good. The script is terrible and predictable from beginning to the end.
I saw the film last
night at an advanced screening in New York City for the press. I'd be
surprised if this gets a fresh critic score on rotten tomatoes.You know
the feeling of awe you get when you watch Jurassic Park? You get that
because when you watch it Spielberg made you believe this place could
actually become a reality. Jurassic World doesn't come close to
achieving this, and because of that it failed. Every sequel since the
first film has thought the reason why people loved Jurassic Park was
just because of the dinosaurs. That is a big reason why it was so
successful, but that is only a piece of why the movie is so great. The
rest is great characters, great acting, great direction, great score and
a great script. Jurassic World has none of those. Without those
elements how can you sweep me up into believing that Jurassic World
could actually exist? You can't and because of that there isn't a cool
moment in this movie that really matters or stands out. There are only 2
or 3 surprises in the movie that aren't in the trailer, and the
"surprises" are so predictable. There were so many moments where it
recycled Spielberg's work. It sounds like that would be cool, but when
you see it its so tasteless. Let's have a Jaws moment, let's have the
Trex running after the car moment. Does this have anything new to bring
to the table? Not that much I'm afraid.
I had low expectations for this film going in. I'm the biggest Jurassic Park fan you can meet. I really hoped it would bring me back to the place I loved in any small way it could but it didn't. This movie doesn't take its time showing you the wonders of the Park, it rushes through it like it rushes through everything else.
Even Jurassic Park 3 understood how to create suspense. This has none. No sense of how big these animals are either. Remember the famous water rippling in the glass? The feeling this huge thing was coming to get everyone? Nope. Hey cinematographer, ever heard of shadows? You can use them to create fear? Anything? I guess I'm asking for too much.
They threw in some nostalgic moments in there but literally stomped all over them. Great, thanks.
The only good parts are the CGI and the use of one animatronic dinosaur, glad they figured out that would be effective. The ending is alright but predictable. Other then that don't waste your time with this monster mash. That's all they think making a Jurassic Park sequel needs. Well think again.
