This film is loosely based off the novel entitled Jurassic Park written by (John) Michael Crichton, and is the fourth installment to the Jurassic Park film series. Twenty-two years after the Jurassic Park incident, Isla Nublar finally contains a functioning jurassic themed amusement park. Ten years into this park's success and visitor ratings are declining. The park's management decides to create a new lethal attraction to re-ignite visitor interest.
This film was directed by Colin Trevorrow. All that development hell paid off, because this film has already broken several opening box office sales records. Naturally, this being the fourth sequel means the film can't be inventive or as impactful. Initially, I was worried when I saw that this film had PG-13 rating, because that has become a modern death sentence to thriller and horror films. However, this film stuck to its roots and held some gore amongst its tense terror and light humor. The story contains some great scientific philosophical views and sociological outlook like the original. This film allows several references to the original film that gives it an even creepier edge. You even get to see the return of a secondary character from the original. However, with all these references to the original, I wonder how the other two sequels fit into this story. You'd think InGen would've learned after trying to open a park in California. I also enjoyed how the children played more of a survival role instead of just screaming for help all the time. There was also another dumbass that arrives to destroy the park with a great cost. The taming of the velociraptors was highly unusual, because they are always meant to be the ultimate monsters. They were the epitome of terrifying. Now, they're like bobcats-dangerous and adorable. Fortunately, this film does replace their ultimate monster with an over the top fictional predator. Even though it is over the top, it is no less frightening. The use of cinematography kept the creatures visible but terrifying. The puppets were a great throwback, even if they didn't look perfect. The computer animation looked great under the right lighting. As a side note, there were several complaints because this film ignored recent scientific discoveries to keep the familiar reptile appearance and behavior of the dinosaurs. The script did a clever slide around this by claiming that using other animals DNA to fill in the gaps they will never look like the true dinosaurs; which is true. There is a potential for future sequels.
Chris Pratt played the role of Owen Grady. For those fans of Robert Muldoon, here is your replacement. His performance was just the right amount of tense and humorous to keep the film great. Bryce-Dallas Howard played the role of Claire Dearing. Its hard to believe that spent this entire film running in heels. She is the perfect representative of how neglectful management could ruin the world. Ty Simpkins played the role of Gray Mitchell. His performance was typical of a male child, but he kept the film emotional. Nick Robinson played the role of Zach Mitchell. He was the typical rebellious teenager and protective brother. His character did become annoying from time to time.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! It is a great sequel to a popular franchise. It also harkens back to the original that audiences fervently enjoyed.
This film can be seen in theaters.
