MOVIE REVIEW: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

RELEASE DATE: June 22nd 2018

RUN TIME: 2 Hours 8 Mins

MPAA RATING: PG-13

FAMILY MOVIE SCALE 4.5

MY IMDB SCALE 9.5


DIRECTOR: J.A Bayonna,

MAIN STARS: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rafe Spall


IMDB Summary
When the island's dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen and Claire mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event.

MY REVIEW:
This sequel was really a true debate on animal rights. The park was destroyed and now the animals are roaming the earth free and wild. And that is another question: Are the dinosaurs monsters or animals. And Ian Malcolm expanded on his quote from the first movie.

"Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."

While Dr. Ian Malcolm never repeated that in this movie, his testimony definitely reminded you of that debate with John Hammond in the Jurassic Park 1993 movie. At first I was disappointed in where all the main Dinosaur action took place, but it totally made since by the end of the movie and truly gave the movie depth in thought of how we look at animals and animal rights. To me what the movie said was if you merge unlimited money and science together, responsibility ends because the  scientist don't know when to stop.  Have you ever done research on what scientist are trying to do right now? I have only googled it and I hope and pray what I read is fake news, but I am sure some of it is true.

I gave this movie a low family rating because it might be to intense for younger viewers, but what is good for your family may not be mine and vise versa. But when you watch this movie focus on the story line and not so much the action, but the action is awesome.

MOVIE REVIEW: Jurassic World

RELEASE DATE June 12 2015



DIRECTOR: Colin Trevorrow

STARS

Chris Pratt

Bryce Dallas Howard

Ty Simpkins



IMDB SNYOPIS
A new theme park is built on the original site of Jurassic Park. Everything is going well until the park's newest attraction--a genetically modified giant stealth killing machine--escapes containment and goes on a killing spree.


WHAT I LIKED

So much action and heart pounding chases through the jungle from the big genetically enhanced monster. There was many references to the first Jurassic Park movie and the way I think they played tribute to John Hammond, the man who created the ideal and created the first cloned animals. The battle with InGen continues.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE

I missed the big debates the first three movies had especially in the first Jurassic Park Between John Hammond and Dr. Ian Malcolm.

Here is part of the debate that took place on Jurassic Park (1993) that was directed by Steven Spielburg. From Imdb.com

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Gee, the lack of humility before nature that's being displayed here, uh... staggers me. Donald Gennaro: Well thank you, Dr. Malcolm, but I think things are a little bit different then you and I had feared...
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, I know. They're a lot worse.
Donald Gennaro: Now, wait a second now, we haven't even seen the park...
John Hammond: No, no, Donald, Donald, Donald... let him talk. There's no reason... I want to hear every viewpoint, I really do.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Don't you see the danger, John, inherent in what you're doing here? Genetic power is the most awesome force the planet's ever seen, but you wield it like a kid that's found his dad's gun.
Donald Gennaro: It's hardly appropriate to start hurling generalizations...
Dr. Ian Malcolm: If I may... Um, I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now
[bangs on the table]
Dr. Ian Malcolm: you're selling it, you wanna sell it. Well...
John Hammond: I don't think you're giving us our due credit. Our scientists have done things which nobody's ever done before...
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.



Part II and III both had empathy and someone in the group knew this was wrong.We should not be going there or doing this, but here I am doing it anyway In Part II Dr Ian Malcolm went back because of his girlfriend and ended up searching for his stowaway daughter, Part III Dr Alan Grant went back to help a couple find their son. There was a reason to be there.
The cast delivered a great performance, but the people writing the story was all about the dinos and memories and not cause and effect.

MOVIE RATED PG-13, well deserved rating, self explanatory

FOUR STAR 3, I like it, it was great movie, if I had never saw the first 3, it would have been perfect.

I will buy the Blue Ray, but I am glad I saw this on the big screen
