Jurassic World is the fourth installment of the ‘Jurassic
Park’ series directed by Colin Trevorrow. The film stars Chris Pratt, Bryce
Dallas Howard, Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson. The official synopsis reads:
22 years after the original
Jurassic Park failed, the new park (also known as Jurassic World) is open for
business. After years of studying genetics the scientists on the park
genetically engineer a new breed of dinosaur. When everything goes horribly
wrong, will our heroes make it off the island?
As a standard science fiction/monster movie, this movie will
certainly give you your money’s worth of dinosaurs, destruction and mayhem.
However, for those who grew up watching the original “Jurassic Park” and have a
sense of nostalgia to the original property, this movie is simply ‘meh’.

There are a few moments that capture the magic of the original
but majority of the film is just random dinosaurs running around. The movie is
entertaining and the action scenes are decent but overall the movie is
forgettable. If I had to use one word to describe the story-line it is
“Generic”. This films is just another paint by numbers summer blockbuster that
doesn’t really offer anything new or unique but manages to keep you interest
enough to stay until the end.

The performances in the film are fine even though this isn’t
the type of movie that requires a lot of range. The musical score is probably the highlight of
the film, including music from the original film and mixing it some new tracks.
Overall, I left this movie neither disappointed but neither
excited. It was a fun movie while it lasted but after watching it I forgot most
of the action.
