Review: Jurassic World



The sci-fi adventure film, Jurassic Park comes back with its fourth installment, Jurassic World. Twenty-two years after the events on JP, Isla Nublar now has a fully functional dinosaur theme park; with all kinds of facilities and attractions... which includes by the way.. Rexy the T-Rex from the first three movies (finally they managed to handle the dinos while ensuring the people's safety... or so we think). However, ten years after the park first opened to the public, they are beginning to  experience decline in visitor rates. And so.. they came up with this crazy idea of creating a genetically modified dinosaur using multiple  strand of genes from different predatory animals, to re-spark the people's interest once again. Seriously? have we not learned anything from the previous movies? Why a predator?

So.. the movie begins with these two kids going on a trip to the island where their aunt works. But she is too busy with her work to look after them so she had someone else accompany them. The boys enjoy the park including their visit with Rexy while their Aunt Claire is very busy recruiting new investors and the introduces the Indominus Rex. She calls the Owen Grady, a Velociraptor trainer to inspect this new specie before opening up her exhibit to the public. Owen then warns her that I-rex is dangerous since it never socialized with other dinosaurs. And it appeared he was right after this clever creature managed to escape and started terrorizing the island (when will they learn their lesson?) only to be finally stopped by Blue, one of Owen's raptors and Rexy who was obviously not happy with having a new dino take his place as the antagonist. (yey Rexy!)



I'd say.. Jurassic World is great. Not to mention the CGI dinos are good too. The makers of this film taught us once again to not meddle too much with mother nature's works or we suffer the consequences in the future. With the Indominus Rex symbolizing humans' desire for more even though everything we have is already within our reach, it leaves a lesson that our own excessive desires could destroy us. That's a pretty good lesson don't you think? Not to mention many people of this age is never satisfied and they want a faster, louder, stronger, and bigger dinosaur to fulfill their desires.

"Should I watch Jurassic World?" - I'd say Yes! It's pretty good ;) Cheer for Rexy who saved the day! <3 She finally did something good after all these years.

"What should I look forward to while watching the film?" -- Uhm... when I wast watching, I was pretty occupied with figuring out that species were used to create the Indominus Rex lol. Even though some species were mentioned, there are a lot that remained untold and is up to the viewer to figure if out.
