Jurassic World

In the past, the second and third movies tried not to follow a safe path of the first movie, but although it was a nice try they failed terribly (in terms of both acceptance and, unfortunately, quality). The third sequel, on the other hand, follows the path of the first movie and it turns out to be the right decision (it is great both in terms of acceptance and, fortunately, quality). However, it is not only a dull follow-up, but a playful and self-conscious continuation. Although it may not impress you in such a way (or any) that the first movie did but even without this bonus it is a high-quality movie in the form of a fun and excellently graduating summer Hollywood craft in the best sense of this word whose biggest mistake is the simple fact is that we have already seen it (multiple times). What they did really well are the "gojira-like" ending and Pratt, who is labeled as a new Ford/Indy and even though it is already the most annoying universally acknowledge cliché, but we simply cannot deny the fact that this person is a new Ford, that is for sure.

I like how the entire Jurassic World is referring to the good old Jurassic Park. It’s not hiding the reference and it’s not attempting to be just another embarrassing remake. On the contrary, it expands the entire dinosaur world and that’s actually quite a good thing. And even though the main plotline is about an over-grown and mutated dinosaur, which actually isn’t too great a premise to build a movie on, it still watches pretty well. The authors did a great job in terms of casting. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are exactly the reason why I really enjoyed the movie. Chris Pratt plays his standard cool dude who looks like he just crawled out of the jungle and who can communicate with every mammal on the planet, and Bryce Dallas Howard is so beautiful here that I will keep dreaming about her fringe for several months to come.

Hardworking and teachable Beta of Spielberg’s Alpha. From the very beginning, Jurassic World has profiled itself as a "new generation" blockbuster, which consciously draws from its inspirations and at the same time tries to name the basic rules, regularities and limits of its universe. So, we find ourselves in a world where the good old attractions were no longer "jagged and big" enough, so it was necessary to develop new ones that are artificially boosted, and thus reliably deadly. Jurassic World is in fact a struggle between enchanted film nostalgia and the triumph of megalomania in the form of a genetically infused prehistoric lizard. Surprisingly, the film is clearly for the lovers of the great first film, to which it completely subordinates its mythology, logic and the directing style to the talented Colin Trevorrow. However, Jurassic World will never achieve the brilliance and smoothness of the attractions of Jurassic Park; it will always be missing a bit of it. Nevertheless, it has enough entertaining parts to hold one’s attention. At the same time, it has one big advantage - the growing ironic charisma of sweaty adventurer Chris Pratt. Is a new Harrison Ford being born? (06/10/2015)

Jurassic World made me about as happy as a child opening a Christmas present. Jurassic World is a brilliantly conceived blockbuster (beautiful attractions), I wish I could visit a similar park. The dinosaurs are palpably and vividly rendered and the intelligent Indominus Rex perhaps the biggest bad ass creature in film ever, its intelligence in particular was breathtaking to watch (camouflage, sensor obfuscation, GPS removal). Chris Pratt really is the new Harrison Ford, a proper hero and the role of Indiana Jones will suit him very well. I also praise the very solid pacing, the perfect finale that takes your breath away, the rather gnarly deaths for a PG-13 movie, and the great paced suspense with working empathy. Anyone who doesn't enjoy this film has no heart, can't have fun, and should give up movies for good. 100% (06/12/2015)

If I were eight years old, this is a movie I would want to see every day, if possible multiple times. From the perspective of two brothers, it is perfectly placed in an adventurous mood, to the extent that it doesn't even need the breathtaking wow moments the original Jurassic Park is known for, even after the tenth screening. On the contrary, the world in this movie is conservatively sparse on action, and even when it is clear to everyone involved that everything is going to hell, the central T-Rex surprisingly appears sparingly. I can even imagine there might be viewers who are bothered when the screenplay can't decide whether to pay a beautiful tribute to the original or blatantly remake it. But fortunately, there are more positive aspects. Chris Pratt, who shamelessly steals every scene like a thief, Bryce Dallas Howard, who finally has a full-scale blockbuster on her resume, and the final message that plays on the feel of the Steven Spielberg original. But what raises my spirits the most is the fact that audiences still yearn for spectacles that occasionally shoot off nostalgic warmth. (06/23/2015)
