The Jurassic World movies are a great example of this: <em>Fallen Kingdom<\/em> was a braindead horror movie, <em>Dominion<\/em> was a lazy nostalgia fest, and <em>Rebirth<\/em> was a soulless schlockfest. Because of this, many movie lovers have written this franchise off and are waiting for the next asteroid to conveniently make this entire franchise extinct.<br \/>However, the film that originally brought all this \u201cdino DNA\u201d back to the big screen is still a very solid blockbuster unto itself. Thanks to a talented director and some solid talent all around, <em><a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/jurassic-park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Jurassic Park\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"181007\">Jurassic World<\/a><\/em> (2015) is a movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat with both CGI spectacle and surprisingly good character development. It\u2019s currently streaming on <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/netflix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Netflix\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"181006\">Netflix<\/a>, making it easier than ever for you to return to the cinematic universe first made famous by Steven Spielberg.<br \/>The premise of <em>Jurassic World<\/em> is that a new CEO has decided to revive the original Jurassic Park concept, making it bigger and better than ever, despite the highly publicized tragedies portrayed in earlier films. It works at first, and the newly-minted Jurassic World is a hit with almost everyone, including the visiting nephews of the new park\u2019s operations manager. But Chaos Theory wins out again, and once the dinos inevitably get loose, it becomes a race for survival for everyone involved. This includes an experienced raptor trainer, a scheming security chief, and a geneticist who witnessed the rise and fall of the original park.<br \/>The cast of <em>Jurassic World<\/em> is mostly filled with faces new to the franchise, including Chris Pratt (best known for <em>Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em>) as a charismatic raptor trainer and <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/bryce-dallas-howard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Bryce Dallas Howard\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"181003\">Bryce Dallas Howard<\/a> (best known for <em>Jurassic World: Dominion<\/em>) as the park operations manager and his ersatz love interest. One of her nephews is played by Ty Simpkins (best known as Tony Stark\u2019s kid sidekick in <em>Iron Man 3<\/em>), while Vincent D&#8217;Onofrio (best known for <em><a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/men-in-black\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Men In Black\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"181002\">Men in Black<\/a><\/em>) plays a shady security chief who wants to weaponize the raptors. Surprisingly, Jurassic Park alumnus BD Wong (best known outside this franchise for <em>Mr. Robot<\/em>) returns as the brains behind the ill-fitting park\u2019s revival.<br \/>As with John Hammond\u2019s original decision to bring back the dinosaurs, the studio&#8217;s decision to revive Steven Spielberg\u2019s prehistoric powerhouse of a franchise was quite the gamble. Fortunately, it paid off: against a budget of approximately $215 million (some estimates go as low as $150 million), <em>Jurassic World<\/em> earned a whopping $1.671 billion. That made sequels inevitable, although the next three Jurassic World films could be summed up by Ian Malcolm from the original <em>Jurassic Park<\/em>: \u201cNow, that is one big pile of sh*t.\u201d<br \/>When <em>Jurassic World<\/em> came out, the general consensus regarding this revival of Spielberg\u2019s blockbuster franchise was that it was good, not great. On <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/opinion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Opinions\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"181005\">Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, it has a 72 percent rating, with critics praising the movie for being a visually stunning thriller that\u2019s great for those just looking for a bombastic good time. They did note that this revival doesn\u2019t offer nearly as much innovation in terms of effects and storytelling as the original <em>Jurassic Park<\/em>. Casual moviegoers enjoyed the film as a spectacle of violent action unto itself, and the film has a notably higher 78 percent audience score.<br \/>You probably know all about how bad the later movies get, so let\u2019s cut to the chase: why would you return to the original <em>Jurassic World<\/em>? For one thing, the movie is a cinematic spectacle that takes the theme park thrills of the earliest film in the franchise and takes everything to a whole new level. There is wonder in seeing these fantastic creatures brought back to life, and there is pathos in seeing them harmed by new threats like the Indominus Rex. Mostly, there is nailbiting intensity as you watch a cast of likeable characters escape seemingly certain death in scene after scene.<br \/>Speaking of the characters, the real secret weapon of <em>Jurassic World<\/em> is the cast: while Chris Pratt is very played out these days, he is at his affable best in this movie, channeling all the charm of Star-Lord and transforming his character (not to mention himself) into a modern-day action hero. Additionally, he has solid chemistry with Bryce Dallas Howard, and their sparking chemistry echoes the ferocious flirtiness of <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/han-solo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Han Solo\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"181004\">Han Solo<\/a> and Princess Leia. With these characters, Colin Trevorrow shows that he understands something very fundamental to these prehistoric blockbusters: that the audience must care about your flesh and blood characters before they can care about your next-level CGI.<br \/>Also, if you\u2019re a real fanboy for the original <em>Jurassic Park<\/em>, <em>Jurassic World<\/em> wears its nostalgia very proudly, going so far as to include an in-universe character who\u2019s a huge JP fan. Is this just some straight-up member berries fan service? Absolutely. But it\u2019s done so well that this adds extra appeal for any \u201880s and \u201890s kids who grew up endlessly quoting Steven Spielberg\u2019s seminal work (like yours truly).<br \/>Obviously, <em>Jurassic World<\/em> isn\u2019t going to dethrone <em>Jurassic Park<\/em> as the greatest dinosaur movie ever made. However, it is arguably one of the best films in this long-running franchise, one that will constantly remind you of why you fell in love with this tangled tale of dinosaurs and destruction in the first place. With heart-racing thrills, memorable action, and a talented cast giving it their all, <em>Jurassic World<\/em> is a perfect little paradox: it\u2019s pure schlock, but it\u2019s blockbuster schlock, and some of the best we\u2019ve gotten in nearly two decades.<br \/>Will you agree that shlock, uh, finds a way, or is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/80029196\"><em>Jurassic World<\/em><\/a> the kind of movie you\u2019d rather feed to a raptor? The only way to find out is to stream this high-flying blockbuster remake on Netflix for yourself. The streamer is currently showing the sequels, but trust me: this is one franchise that you\u2019re better off forgetting that it ever got any follow-up films!<br \/><strong>REVIEW SCORE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>2 days ago<\/span><br \/><span>1 week ago<\/span><br \/><span>23 hours ago<\/span><br \/><span>33 seconds ago<\/span><br \/><span>33 minutes ago<\/span><br \/><span>37 minutes ago<\/span><br \/>             <a href=\"#\" class=\"back-to-top\">                 <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fal\" data-icon=\"chevron-up\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M4.465 366.475l7.07 7.071c4.686 4.686 12.284 4.686 16.971 0L224 178.053l195.494 195.493c4.686 4.686 12.284 4.686 16.971 0l7.07-7.071c4.686-4.686 4.686-12.284 0-16.97l-211.05-211.051c-4.686-4.686-12.284-4.686-16.971 0L4.465 349.505c-4.687 4.686-4.687 12.284 0 16.97z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg>             <\/a>         <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/rss\/articles\/CBMigAFBVV95cUxPOVlyUFMyN2s0VVYxTTFNU3pOUEhiQUNHX1JkSDlKX01zWWp6S3JmMTYwUWhSTEFIanJzYU12RnFXQzFIcnlRMTk4ekM1Z3B0eVZ1R25aNDVnR0VlNGJyd2dwNzBDS1ZZSVBRaUwtR3k2akVfeHhncERaZlVFQ2ZQTA?oc=5\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Chris Snellgrove | Published 33 seconds ago Sometimes, blockbuster franchises go so far off the rails that it can really skew your perspective of earlier films.
