Synopsis
Jurassic World is the fourth installment in the Jurassic franchise. The movie pulled no punches in trying to be cutting edge and sci-fi like. From rides of rolling spheres to holographic images it was a dive into theme parks of the future...with a little bit of horror. The story follows the ongoing Jurassic debate about genetic manipulation, corporate greed, science and ethics. This installment even threw in the tried and true evil military applications. It's a long movie filled with action sequences. I saw the 3D version, but it doesn't really add much. Chris Pratt continues to move into the most sought after actor spot delivering a solid performance. Rumor has it, he's already signed for a 5th and 6th installment. Bryce Dallas Howard plays the female lead, although the decisions about her wardrobe, hair and makeup reminded me of a plastic doll rather than a person. Her performance was not robotic but the context of her dress, makeup and corporate management role left her too distant to connect to in the movie.
Throughout the movie there are homages to the original franchise, (the raptor claw being dug up, the aviary dome, the raptors, the T-Rex and more). The movie is a good night out and worth seeing...but then, it's already the #1 movie in the States right now!
On a side note, its worth checking out AMC's Dine In Theaters. Same price as a normal ticket, but with servers bringing you food (good food with a wide range from burgers, to tacos, to salads) and drinks. Seats are recliners with automated footrests and back adjusters.
Score
Jurassic World scores a new moon
Scoring System
Wolves are thought to commonly howl at the moon. So, the better the moon, the greater the howl. Description of scoring system below.
Full Moon - best you can get, must watch and must own
New Moon - great movie, worth seeing and/or buying
Crescent Moon - average to above average, good to watch, but may want to wait for DVD
Sliver Moon - below average, not worth seeing and only get it on DVD when you have nothing better to do, like having a root canal
Moonless Night -not even worth mentioning - avoid at all costs!
