22 years ago, John Hammond envisioned a theme park where guests could experience the thrill of witnessing actual dinosaurs. Today, Jurassic World welcomes tens of thousands of visitors, but something sinister lurks behind the park's attractions: a genetically modified dinosaur with savage capabilities.

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.

A dinosaur movie that you don't have to think about; if you happen to do so, you'll find it has a lot of plotholes. If you dwell on them, it becomes a pretty annoying movie; but if you get over yourself and think of it as just a children's story, you'll eventually find that it's not so bad after all. It's simply an homage to the original film by a fan who has added such typical fare to his homage as "I hate you, but I'll look at your tonsils for you", "I can handle the soldiers, but I let the kids get away", "look for the green and power-clouded brain behind all the trouble", "a loyal dog won't leave you". Just a popcorn movie with nice effects. It's got a twist here and there, and it ends with great conscientiousness. For kids of all ages. A better 3 stars.

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.

A blockbuster that has it all! Its nostalgic connection with the first instalment, elaboration of dozens of motifs and ideas, fast-paced narrative and action make the second and third parts of the series look like unnecessary spin-offs (and I’m saying this as someone who likes the second one very much and doesn’t mind number three). In Jurassic World, everyone will find their own well-defined character – from the adventure through the eyes of two boy heroes, through the sparks between the attracting opposites in the form of a likeable adventurer and a detached sexy manager, to a young bespectacled geek in an e-bay “Jurassic Park” T-shirt and the park’s Indian financial director, an inside-joke allegory about Indian investors pouring loads of money into Hollywood. ___ Jurassic World contains all the formulas of blockbusters, but does not use them passively and lazily, instead playing with them in an imaginative and clever manner. Like no other blockbuster, Jurassic World draws us into the phenomenal culture of American entertainment attractions and parks – including the scene involving hiding in the T-shirt stand that you must (but also want to) walk through after each attraction at Universal Studios. ___ Jurassic World has a seamlessly, beautifully edited long intro that, together with the tones of John Williams’ motif and a brief depiction of the family relationships of some of the main characters, serves as the perfect introduction to the park on Isla Nublar, while both reviving nostalgia from 1993 and pushing it to a more technologically advanced level (the transformation of a small-scale hidden attraction into megalomaniac machinery serving 20,000 visitors a day). Jurassic World achieved wonderful escalation while discovering the genes from which the main monster is developed. Thanks to its intelligence, we’re in for some unexpected twists, boosting the adventure experience. A shift in the story that we have long been expecting and looking forward to (a raptor attack) becomes just a stepping stone to a dramaturgical advance to a higher level. ___ Jurassic World has a grandiose climax that, thanks to its editing and placement of live characters among digital monsters, overshadows any climax of the monster and Transformers movies of the entire decade. And in the last, perfectly timed moment it pulls the biggest ace out of its sleeve in such a way that I wanted to holler and clap my hands like a little kid. Do not evaluate Jurassic World by comparing it to the first instalment, whose uniqueness was guaranteed by the first ever large-screen performance of living CGI beings. Evaluate it as a contemporary blockbuster that has to compete with Nolan and Bay while preserving its historical roots. IMAX, 3D!

A perfect contemporary studio film, pitch-perfectly refined to fit almost everyone's taste. The stars have "just the right" luminosity, Spielberg behind their backs, special effects artists at work, and a scripted cocktail of everything a family wants to experience on a trip to the movies. The studios will fight over Trevorrow now because we rarely see such pure craft. The unfortunate thing is that it doesn't give anything for free. Therefore, especially in terms of tension, it's pretty instant, without anything really substantial, like "climbing over a high-tension fence" or "raptors in the kitchen," which still affects me after more than twenty years and can refer to someone who has something in their head besides craft. [Btw: Chris Pratt is likable, no question about it, but his position is more so iconic, pushed by an army of e-fans. When he really carries an entire film, let him have the whip and the hat.]
