Jurassic World [Blu-ray]

I watched this movie in the theaters and enjoyed it. To be honest there were some things that I didn't like about this movie. When they first introduced the sea dinosaur I quite literally thought to myself that somehow it was going to be the "savior" of the movie based on how the other movies went. I just rewatched the movie and felt like it was even better than it was when I first saw it... Afterwards I went and read a lot of reviews, especially the one star reviews... And I have a lot of things that I want to comment on them... yes, some scenes how super awesome amazing cgi that suddenly transitioned into bad cgi scenes in the blink of an eye. Well even the best well funded movies and tv shows have this issue, so get over that... Then there is the obvious hate on the whole training the raptors thing, well what they forget is that humans are nothing more than instinct driven animals that quite literally can be trained by their own pets. So you can totally train a raptor to follow orders. Then the next most common complaint was that the raptors turned on the humans... Hello, raptors are just as if not more intelligent than humans, so when the really giant dinosaur that speaks their language appears, your probably going to listen to your instincts who would be saying that you turn on the humans or your going to die. There is also the simple fact raptors are the most socially advanced creatures we know of to ever walk the planet, surpassing even humans... I honestly think the only scene that is even cliché at all is the whole bit with the t rex, they already used that scene In the third movie where the spineosourus out manuvers the t rex and breaks its neck... Mr. Indominus rex gets ahold of the t rex and its the whole scene again only the clearly far more intelligent dinosaur doesn't kill the t rex, makes a rookie mistake, tries taking on a half dead t rex and a half dead raptor and loses by the means of a water creature that is clearly the most dangerous thing in the park. That is the only bad thing I can say about this movie as the rest is solid with the way humans actually do behave... What this movie portrays is one of the darker sides of human nature... In fact I love these movies because the idea of resurrecting these animals for profit and entertainment is very much a real idea that is being investigated by companies around the world. now, lets get back to the movie... Excellent cgi, a decent storyline, fairly accurate human portrayal, probably accurate dinosaur portrayal?, the obvious cliché man and woman fall in love through tragic events, and of course The best stars any movie can ever have (Dinosaurs) make this a great film for those who can appreciate it.

Can't say anything about about this

Great exciting movie

The story was a bit forced in places. But the cast was wonderful, love Chris Pratt.What I loved was that the women are feminine but strong, the men were men doing what men do. It was a diverse movie but not forced like most of the Hollywood slop these days. I would ask that Hollywood take notes from this movie on how to do it but was all know, that they just want to watch the world burn.

My sons all-time favorite movie. He's a huge dinosaur fan that's why I went ahead and purchased it while it was on sale instead of renting it again now he can watch it whenever and wherever he wants.

This is actually a pretty good film, but it has plot-holes and illogic galore... so if you can't just turn off your brain, you may not want to watch it.The basic plot picks up some twenty-plus years after the first film. As far as I can tell, it ignores, utterly, the two prior sequels. It also neglects the characters from the original films (except for a statue of John Hammond which you never really see at all, and one minor bit-part character who works in the lab)The new characters are all reasonably likable (except for those who you're not supposed to like!). Chris Pratt plays... well, Chris Pratt. He's not much of an actor, as he always plays every character the exact same way, but he's fun to watch, and it's quite evident that he's enjoying himself in this film, which helps bring us along and helps us enjoy it too.I almost got the impression that Bryce Dallas Howard's character was originally intended to be Hammond's granddaughter from the original film... and would have preferred that, honestly... but she was good in her own way, anyway. "Opie's daughter" (or is that "Richie Cunningham's daughter?") is a lot better looking than her dad, and has a level of charm that most people find really appealing. But... the high-heel thing was just stupid... and in real life, would have led to her being eaten pretty quickly!The film played with the same "should man play god?" questions, but in a much less thoughtful way than Michael Crichton's original novel. There was never any "more ambiguity" present here... we all KNEW that creating the "Indominus Rex" by combining "top secret mixtures of Dino-DNA" would be a bad thing.On the other hand, at least they explained in a plausible way WHY the I-Rex was so hostile... even if the biological explanation for it's "new gifts" was less than plausible.The film plays with the idea that dinosaurs are simply animals... not good, or evil... not MONSTERS. That was very well-handled, especially as related to the team of velociraptors.The "disaster" which occurs is remarkably poorly handled by the park... you'd think that they'd have run "failure mode effects analysis" over scenarios in which a sizable portion of the island's 20,000 or so visitors might get EATEN... which was beyond believability to me. At the very least, you'd think that they'd have underground bunkers and tunnels, like DISNEYLAND has, where they could evacuate the visitors if necessary, huh? But... nope... the guests just have to stay outside and get picked off by pterodactyls, huh?So... I DO recommend this film, especially if you like the series prior to this, but don't expect a serious story... expect to see a lot of fun sequences which don't necessary make sense, expect to see Bryce Dallas Howard look cute but harried, expect to see Chris Pratt look smug yet charming, expect to see a "black hatted bad guy" who you can root against in good conscience, expect to be banged over the head with some preachiness, and expect to see some really cool sequences involving dinosaurs.If that sounds like a good time to you, this is a great way to spend a lazy evening. But, don't expect this film to bring anything really exciting or new to the table for you.
